Creativity, variety, and options! - Edit
Fully separate vegan menu with everything clearly labeled. Also very creative fusion dishes with a full “fry bar!” I was able to eat here easily with my friend with a gluten intolerance also.

A great vegan find near O'Hare - Edit
Boon Cafe is Vegan with a back page selection for non-Vegans. We've been there three times,and I ate three different entrees and they were all great. The only place, so far, that has figured out that falafel makes a great veggie burger. They deserve five stars in my humble opinion.

10/10 ⭐️ - Edit
I loved stopping by here after I arrived to the ORD airport. The food was delish. They are incredibly accommodating and supportive if you have any food allergies or are vegan. I had their chana with fries and thought it was delicious 💗 it was hard making a choice because everything seemed amazing.

Yummy Junk Food - Edit
I have family nearby so the vegans in the family stopped to pick something up before the family event. We split the Vegan BBQ Burger and the Vegan McClucker Fries. Both were very yummy. CAUTION: when ordering online it always estimates 30 minutes to fill your order THIS IS NOT TRUE. As someone who ordered as we were on the way this was a little shocking when our order was ready a lot earlier than expected.

Overwhelmed by the number of vegan items! - Edit
We brought some relatives from out of town here before taking them back to the airport. We all loved it! The Vegan Chapli has a great Indian flavor, and the Vegan Cauliflower Bowl was also popular.
Read moreThe owner is very proud of the wide variety of both vegan and non-vegan items and said she’s tried to create a place where there’s good food for everyone. It seems unfair that the app will not allow a 5 star rating for someone like this…in this case the perfect is the enemy of the great!
Pros: Great tasting food , Family run by very friendly people, Wide variety of food for both vegans and non-vegan

A+ for Vegans - Edit
I'm a long-time vegan, and even though this restaurant is not fully vegan, I would give it a 5-star rating if HappyCow allowed it. This was my first visit and will NOT be my last. The food was amazing, the owners and staff are super nice, and the service was great! I went with a group of people so I was lucky to be able to try multiple meals. I enjoyed the vegan mjadra, the vegan chapli burger, the vegan chana chaat, the vegan mcclucker fries and the vegan somoosa. I would order everything all over again. I didn't dislike anything I tried. I would like to try a vegan Po-boy next time as it looked amazing. The only thing I didn't care for was the plasticware and Styrofoam cups, so please bring your own utensils, glass and to-go containers. Thank you Boon Cafe!! :)

Great vegan options - Edit
The food was phenomenal. Very chill hole in the wall vibe. Very friendly owners. Interested fusion Indian/Palestinian concept with many vegan options. I loved supporting them and I hope they do very well. The Chana chaat, Mexican po boy were my favorites. They have very delicious hummus as well.

HUGE vegan menu! - Edit
I loved all the options on their vegan menu. I tried their BBQ Mushroom sandwich and it was soooo good & well seasoned. Their Falafel burger was huge, fresh, loaded with veggies and a homemade sauce, very delicious. Can’t wait to try more! They have Beyond and vegan chicken options as well as bowls and samosa and cauliflower. Amazing customer service, even for carry out, the owners are very sweet and even gave me some free iced tea while I waited. It’s a treat to have a scratch kitchen place with an emphasis on Mediterranean, Indian and such a variety of options. And in an area (Norridge) that doesn’t have a lot of options - it’s great they are filling that niche.
Read morePros: Lots of different vegan options , Great customer service, fair prices., Fresh, from scratch. Good portions.

Such a good find - Edit
I wish I could give them five stars but Happy Cow wouldn’t let me since they’re not a fully vegan restaurant. The food was incredible - and the vegan menu was so much bigger than we anticipated. Options range from quesadillas, nachos, poboys, burgers, plant based chicken, and a FRY BAR! Their “Boon Sauce” is incredible and pairs so well with all of their entrees. The service was amazing and so quick and helpful. We were served a sample of their calamari which wasn’t on the menu, but was equally as amazing as everything else we had. I am so glad we made the stop on our way to Rosemont Theater. Give them a try - you will not be disappointed!!!

Perfect. - Edit
Absolutely delicious, and the owner of this establishment is a real gentleman. His restaurant is clean, and the Vegan Delight Po-boy was pure bliss to enjoy. Thank yourself later after you make it here, there's something here for everybody.

Clearly labeled menu, lots of vegan options - Edit
I've eaten here a bunch of times and agree with the other reviewer who called this place a hidden gem.
Read moreEverything is made fresh and everything is really flavorful. The meals are creative and give a new twist on some classics. It's kinda like...a place to go for junk food middle eastern. There are things like falafel fries and burgers.
My favorite is the kefta, but there's lots to try to see what you think.
Their menu is clearly labeled so you know which options are vegan/vegetarian (specify vegan in the notes so they know you aren't vegetarian). And on the boxes they always write vegan for that extra assurance.
They've never gotten the order wrong (which is extra important at an Omni place!)
I highly recommend you give it a try at least once!
