“ The food here is delicious!! The prices are very reasonable for the portion you get. I particularly like chicken shawarma. Chicken here is very good. When you eat in you get a salad, hummus, and pita bread for free! I definitely recommend eating in because their pita bread and hummus are so flavorful and tasty. The owners are nice. When they're super busy, they're not as friendly, but that's understandable. ”
“ This is my new favorite place for lunch. The owner makes me my own personal lamb salad instead of the gyro pocket... Salad is always fresh extra tzatziki sauce and the lamb is perfectly seasoned and plenty of it. Prices are crazy good. It's a cute little hole in the wall that I enjoy visiting for lunch ”
“ This is by far my most frequented spot in the area. Delicious, dependable, fast, and a great value. My favorite items are anything with gyro or chicken kabob. The wraps/pitas are amazing. The chicken shawarma is different than what I'm used to, but it's still great. The fries are also fantastic. A big 5 stars overall. ”
“ Super friendly staff and meals are always consistent and delicious. With how many corporate feeling businesses are in the area it’s nice to have a people-oriented, no frills, tasty spot to have. Highly recommend!!! ”
“ I had the gyro basket it was very good. I loved the French fries. They had diet Coke in cans. Fast service. ”

“ My first time there, the food was very good. Great flavours, very unique. ”
“ I love this place! I moved to Chicago almost 9 years ago. Before I moved here, I visited a couple of times, and during one of those visits, I ate here, and I always come back to eat. The food is amazing, they have great prices and their portions are incredible. I always struggle to eat it all because it's a lot. Being this good, I always try to eat all of it. Awesome spot with great food! ”
