If you’re wandering through Bonnevoie in Luxembourg City, looking for a casual spot that promises warmth, color, and a twist of Levantine cuisine, Chiche might catch your eye. Known for its bold decor, friendly vibe, and Middle Eastern street food, it’s the kind of place that draws both regulars and the curious passerby.
I decided to give it a try during lunch and went for the chicken shawarma wrap — expecting something fragrant and spice-forward, characteristic of Levantine flavors. What I received, however, was a wrap that tasted much more like a traditional kebab. While it wasn’t bad by any means — the meat was tender and well-cooked — I found the overall flavor profile to be quite safe and familiar, lacking the distinctive punch I associate with shawarma.
There was a little disappointment in the ordering experience too. Only after receiving my meal did someone mention that I could have chosen a salad as a side instead of the wrap, had I known to ask. Unfortunately, that wasn’t clearly communicated when I placed my order. It felt like a missed opportunity to customize and elevate the meal a little more — especially given the healthy, fresh options the place is known for. 🥗
On the positive side, the ambiance at Chiche is undeniably appealing. It’s informal and relaxed, with cozy tables, pops of color, and an open-space layout that fits well with the street-food spirit of the place. The staff were cheerful and attentive, checking in regularly and taking time to chat despite the busy flow.
Chiche isn’t trying to be haute cuisine — and it doesn’t need to. It’s a neighborhood eatery that thrives on simplicity, generosity, and a welcoming spirit. But if you’re coming specifically for a deep dive into Levantine flavors, I’d recommend asking more about what’s available and how things can be adapted to your taste. The potential is clearly there.
✅ Final thoughts:
Chiche is a casual and friendly restaurant with a lot of heart. It’s a great place to grab a quick bite or enjoy a relaxed evening out — especially if you’re into hearty wraps, hummus bowls, and street-style dining. Just don’t hesitate to ask questions when ordering — a small conversation might help unlock the best they have to offer!
