Wonderful Mediterranean spot always cooking FRESH. I ordered loaded fries to go and they were great even 10 minutes later at home. The interior needs some work but they are very new so understandable. This place is crushing it & I have now become a regular customer. The Ginger Mint Lemonade is also killer! read more

Amba Mediterranean Grill - Mediterranean Near Me - Joliet, Illinois

I have been here twice. The food was good both times. The first time I got a wrap and the second time had a bowl. The staff was very helpful and there are a lot of options to choose from. It would be nice if they had some preselected menu items. I would've gave a higher review but both times I've gone there and went to wash my hands the bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. Soap dispenser did not work, so they have a regular household dispenser on the sink. The paper towel dispenser was also broken and they had a roll of paper towels sitting on top of the toiletThe floor and toilet look like a crime scene. Both times that I have been here was within 30 minutes of opening. So someone either did not clean the bathrooms the night before or they just don't get cleaned in general. Always makes me wonder what the kitchen looks like if that's how you keep your restaurant. read more

Amba Mediterranean Grill - Chicken bowl. Couldn't even begin to tell you the toppings. - Mediterranean Near Me - Joliet, Illinois

What a Gem of a place! Delicious, Quality food and friendly service! This was our 1st time here but we will be back! We were greeted by Jennifer who explained the menu and the process! " Think of Chipotle concept but Mediterranean with food" Her energy was welcoming and joyful! They have a dining rewards program and weekly specials and coupons. I strongly recommend this restaurant! read more

Wow! Friend recommended to come here and I am glad I did. Was told the gyros were the best they've had in a long time and let me tell you. They are the best gyros I think I've had in years! The gyros are not greasy which is typical of fast food gyros. I'm assuming I was served by the owner or perhaps a relative and they were really nice to talk to. Friendly staff. This place is located where the firehouse subs used to be. Please give this place a try. I like it when little places like this are discovered and they flourish after the word gets out. Ladies and gentleman. I will tell you now. This gyro is epic compared to a Mickey's gyro! read more

So much better than CHIPOTLE! 12/10 food was really good and I'm picky. Went today for the soft opening, these guys are awesome went around noon so they were slightly busy but the girl that took my order was really kind and helped me through the ordering process and then the man that made my falafel wrap did really good. They seemed to work well as a team and I'm glad to see what looks like a full staff. Restaurant was really clean, they were really fast paced but attentative, and overall my food was really good I like how they warm up the wrap. Price is really good they aren't expensive and they give so much food for the value. Will be back more, hopefully they stick around this is the 3rd restaurant I've been too inside the same lot in less than like a year and a half. If they market the right way they can become an essential part of Plainfield read more

Really glad we found this place! We were in search of something healthy and tasty. The falafel bowls were amazing. The staff was super friendly and welcoming too. We'll definitely be back! read more

Met friends for a surprise birthday dinner and this place was amazing. I had one of the bowls and it was something I'll crave often! The staff played birthday music for us, we're super fun and gave my friend a birthday baklava. What a great place! read more

First, excellent service! The portions here are very big which is amazing for the price! I got lots of meat with great flavor. Amba is clean, tons of options, and friendly staff.

First time ordering here was just last week. It was takeout and ready when requested. Well packaged and hot when I got home. I ordered one of the bowls, an order of falafel, and both were delicious. Very fresh and I had two meals from my portions. This may become one of my top spots to hit when in a hurry. read more

Excellent food! The eggplant dip is fantastic! Great service and friendly staff. Will definitely be coming back.

When you want something healthy and you like greek/Mediterranean food, THIS is the spot. Their bowls are filling AND taste super authentic. My boyfriend got the gyro and it is the like any gyro you've had before. The herbs and flavors are great and will not remind you of the gyro you get at Mickey's, Johnny's, Mr Submarine, or freezer section. I never had a falafel before but I wanted to try it. Needless to say, all I ever get is the falafel now! read more

Got this delicious bowl for Mom and me to split! She gets some for lunch tomorrow! So delicious and healthy!!! You've got to try it! Friendly staff too! read more

Wow, wow, wow. First time ordering from here and now I'm kicking myself for waiting. The food is extremely fresh and delicious. The Gyro is one of the best I've had, not greasy or gamie. My PICKY 4 year old ate all her chicken bowl...that says a lot. The falafel were amazing. Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed. read more

A very enthusiastic owner who will make you feel very welcome. Fantastic food with reasonable prices and massive portions. I'm stuffed for the foreseeable future, but it's worth it for sure. read more

Firstly, the service was phenomenal! The owner was friendly as soon as we walked through the door and incredibly helpful. As first timers, we were nervous about what flavor profiles would go together, and his recommendations did not steer us wrong!! Our meals were AH-mazing! He also gave us pita bread and hummus on the house which was delicious and so kind. Everything we ate was incredibly fresh and flavorful. We will be back very soon! Thank you, Amba! read more

The chicken bowls are delicious. Chicken is well cooked and lots of wonderful flavors. Many accompaniments to add to the bowl. Rice was flavorful but enjoyed the fries too. The falafel are amazing and the garlic sauce is a must. read more

The food wasn't horrible but after going inside the restaurant, I was worried I'd end up getting food poisoning. The place is absolutely filthy! They clearly don't clean regularly as the place has only been open a few months but looks as if it hasn't been cleaned in years. read more

This is a great place. From the moment st I walked in the customer service was outstanding. The gentleman behind the counter let me sample knowing it was my first time here. The food is absolutely delicious with lots of great flavor. The soft drink selection is great as well. The ambiance was a great feel for lunch today! read more

Don't think your food will be what is shown in pictures. Because it definitely is not. Had delivery and they forgot items we ordered. The bowl had missing ingredients l. Call the restaurant and no one can be bothered to answer. The items we got were ho-hum. read more

First off, the staff here was SO sweet. Right when I walked in, I felt so welcomed. I told them that I had a dairy allergy, and they were incredibly helpful and understanding! They guided me throughout my order, helping me through each food. Hands down the BEST falafel I've ever tried! The flavor and texture were literally amazing. The dressings and hummus with it were also awesome. Best. Mediterranean. Ever!!!!! I loved it so much. I devoured my bowl! I'm definitely coming back. HIGHLY recommend. read more

Amba Mediterranean Grill - Custom Falafel Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Joliet, Illinois

Super disappointed I mean super; so many things wrong with my food how does shawarma have globs of gelatinous fat, something smelled slightly rancid, the sauces were indistinguishable I asked for baba and zhoug(sic) neither was any good the bowl was slopped together soggy pita chips, limp lettuce and it tasted as bad as it looked, I asked for KALAMATA olives and received canned black olives ugh I mean it was just BAD if Mediterranean food could be rated on a scale of fresh flavorful this was the hamburger helper of Med bowls and my ginger lemonade was watery and tasteless and it wasn't the ice melting because I still have a glass full of ice and the watered down beverage is gone. This is a never again wish I hadn't experience. I hate hate to spend good money anticipating good food it tends to pi@@ me off read more

Mediterranean food is one of my favorite cuisines so I was really excited to try this place! I placed a small order through DoorDash for my husband and I, and when I say small order I mean 2 items. I ordered a Steak Shawarma bowl with tahini and an order of loaded fries. When my order was delivered my loaded fries were missing and my steak bowl was a mess with an indistinguishable red sauce on top, definitely not tahini. I couldn't be more disappointed in my service. This was my first time and likely my last time eating here. If you decide to check it out, I don't recommend ordering for delivery. It seems as though they will mess up even the most simple of orders. read more

Absolutely delicious food with exceptional customer service. The falafel was some of the best I've ever tasted. Mo and his colleague could not have been more enthusiastic about the menu and their desire to please their customers. Highly recommend mixing the spicy sauce with the garlic on your wrap or bowl. Bonus - they have Jones Soda (not Pepsi or Coke) fountain drinks. Highly recommend. read more

Delicious! So glad i checked it out! Definitely get the Greek fries if you go, they are perfect read more

Randomly decided to come here and so glad I did. It was my first time and one of the employees was extremely helpful and recommended that I get the chicken. Everything was extremely flavorful and portions are very generous. Would definitely come back it was worth the 40 minute drive read more

Wayyyyyy too expensive and the music was way too loud for no reason, and my wife got food poisoning from this place...but the baklava was good ig read more

Amazing Mediterranean food! I love this place- everything is fresh and made to order. The staff is friendly and will take the time to walk through options with you. I'm a huge fan of the gyro, the steak/chicken shawarma and the falafel. Where you get to what's really unit is when you try their signature sauces and seasonings- Amba sauce is out of this world and the different seasonings they put in their fries enhance the flavor in so many ways. Never had a bad meal here. read more

I'm a big fan of Mediterranean cuisine. This place is very good. I had the chicken schwarma in a pita with a side of falafel. The food was excellent. Very friendly staff too. I've tried many Mediterranean restaurants, some of the bigger named ones and this place was far better. I have no complaints and will definitely be back. read more

Great food! Great service! Come back regularly. Do yourself a favor and try it! Yummy

I ordered a chicken wrap, beef shawerma wrap, falefal, and fries. The falafel were made fresh to order and crispy. The wraps and fries were both great. Come give this place a try! read more
