Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A 22-seat Mediterranean restaurant in Palos Hills where a chef and his two sons prepare a changing daily list by hand.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-31 issue.

Field notes

Old School operates through a daily handwritten-style list rather than a fixed menu: the chef sends that day’s offerings to about seventy regulars, and roughly sixty to one hundred meals may be claimed before opening. The page describes a two-generation operation in which Mohd Mahd handles the cooking and his two sons help run the kitchen. A planned app is intended to extend the existing message-based system with a full menu and daily notifications.
