Tut Oasis
1147 Madison Street
Oak Park  708 383-0366

This is on the Southeast corner of Harlem and Madison.

I have never been there but I have heard that it is good. If you search Dejanews, I believe there were some comments on it last year.

(If anyone can remember what the name of this used to be, please post it. It seems to me it had a "circus name", but I am talking 25 years ago...Big Top?)

 Wasn't it the Parasol?

 Tut's is rather mediocre.

 Try Grape Leaves, on Oak Park Avenue, just south of the Lake Street El for
 middle eastern food. Uneven. Can be very good  cuter, cleaner than Tuts.. very
 small storefront place.

In Lombard on the southwest corner of Finley and Roosevelt is Kabob Cafe, which has shishkabob, felafel, hummus, baklava and some original concoctions also. Carry out or eat in. The place looks fast-food-ish, but it's better than fast food. I think it's very good.
