Traditional Mediterranean cooking, shared in a casual modern setting.

Where it began

Built from experience.

SemSem began in Tinley Park as a fresh, healthy Mediterranean concept designed for fast modern service. More than 25 years of cooking experience sit behind the food.

The idea is simple: combine the best ingredients from across the Mediterranean and let every guest create a meal that feels like their own.

The SemSem philosophy

Fresh ingredients. Fast service. Flavor worth coming back for.

We believe a memorable meal begins with good ingredients and generous hospitality. Bowls and sandwiches are built around shawarma, grilled chicken, falafel, hummus, fresh salads and garnishes.

Olive oil, lemon, sea salt and a fistful of spices — uncomplicated ingredients, vibrant flavor.
