I've been a loyal customer since Koko's opened, and I've always enjoyed the food. Unfortunately, my last two experiences have been disappointing. The first time, I placed an online order, but when I arrived they couldn't find it. I understand online systems can have issues, so I simply reordered. Since my salad had several customizations, I decided to wait nearby and went to the grocery store down the street until it was ready. When I returned after receiving the text that my order was ready, the interaction felt very uncomfortable. The cashier wouldn't acknowledge me and instead had the manager or owner bring my order out. While holding my food, he studied the receipt, looked me up and down, and then asked for the name on the order. I had been polite the entire time and hadn't done anything to warrant being treated that way. It was over 100 degrees that day and my car's air conditioning had gone out, so I was already having a rough day. I left feeling confused and unwelcome. A few days later, I decided to give Koko's another chance, but I ordered delivery because I didn't feel comfortable returning so soon after that experience. Unfortunately, my salad was nothing like what I ordered. I requested chopped spinach, but it wasn't chopped. There were barely any onions, tomatoes, or chicken, no cheese at all, and an overwhelming amount of croutons. It looked like very little care was put into preparing it. If the kitchen was too busy or close to closing to make the order correctly, I would have preferred that it be canceled rather than receiving food that didn't match what I paid for. As someone who has supported this business since it first opened, these last two experiences were disappointing. I'm not writing this to be mean--I genuinely hope the quality of both the customer service and food preparation improves because I've always enjoyed supporting this restaurant. read more

Run of the mill Mediterranean food. Have to say I did not enjoy the Tzatziki sauce, it was far far too sweet. Classic tzatziki is not meant to be sweet, at all. read more

I ordered food from here through door dash. So to be fair, I'm going to rate the food and not the issue with the order. I ordered two wraps, one chicken wrap and a chicken Caesar wrap. Really really good. I've had others from different places and this was a very big portion size and it wasn't soggy. Very good chicken and greens. I appreciate it. The issue with door dash was that it was missing the pop and the fries. So either the door dash guy didn't pay attention, or the restaurant doesn't have someone checking orders before someone picks them up. read more

Koko's Mediterranean Grille - Missing fries and soda, but food was excellent - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Very dry gyro meat. Plus side it's not greasy, nor are the fries but just a very dry old meat read more

Koko's Mediterranean Grille - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Best quick service lunch stop on Chicago Ave for carry out or sitting in one of the roomy booths. I'm loyal to the Chicken Caesar Wrap and fries combo meal, but coworkers say the falafel, burger and breakfast options are all great options. Food is quick and tasty and a good bang for your buck. Staff are kind and don't make fun of me for getting the exact same meal much too often! read more

If you're looking for a Greek spot to scratch that mediterranean itch, look no further than Koko's. This is another spot I seem to have walked or ran by 100s of times and finally tried it. Combination dinner was fantastic, huge portion size, and very filling. Mine came with Gyro, chicken kabobs, falafel, rice, vegetables, pita bread, and a side salad to boot. Everything was cooked well and had tons of flavor. The salad came with dressing as well as Taziki sauce. I can't speak to service as I only ordered delivery. The food was fantastic. Please give Koko's a try! read more

Koko's Mediterranean Grille - Koko's Combination Dinner - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Great grilled chicken wraps and the best chopped salad. Pro tip, get the chopped salad with a side of the rice pilaf. Reasonable prices for large portions. Quick and convenient, open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. read more

KoKos has an extensive menu and is affordable for the price but the food fell flat for me. I ordered the lemon rice soup and a side of chicken shawarma. My soup had hardly any chicken or rice and could hardly taste lemon. Not to mention it had a small chicken bone in it. Then I opened my shawarma to find a staple in it... thank god it was on top so I saw it right away. I removed it and tried the chicken... not shawarma style at all. It was fatty and so heavily sauced with a random sauce that was not very good. Normally shawarma is like dry roasted. Wouldn't order either again. I understand a bone or even a staple or something falling in the bag but into the food container?? I saw it right away so not sure how staff missed it. Either way, all put together... sorry but a very bad experience. read more

I ordered here from Uber eats and everything was phenomenal. I got the chicken Caesar salad wrap and the chicken was so fresh and delicious and included croutons for a special crunch. The side of rice pilaf is to die for it is so perfect and delicious. I also got a side of tzatziki and hot sauce, and those were both refreshing and yummy. I also got a container of feta dip in a container of hummus to eat throughout the week with some veggies helping me prep my snacks with minimal effort. I highly recommend this place. Everything traveled really well! read more

Was really craving gyro one evening and decided to try takeout from Koko's since I was nearby. The food was ready so quick and was a great value for the price as the portion was enough for 2 meals! I will definitely order from here again when I'm craving Mediterranean. Their menu is a mix of a lot of items as they are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I look forward to trying more in the future! read more

Koko's Mediterranean Grille is such a hidden gem. The food was bursting with flavor -- the hummus was smooth, the falafel crispy, and the gyro perfectly seasoned. The space has a clean and cozy vibe, and even the wallpaper gives it a fresh, warm feel. Great service, great portions, great energy. 5 stars all around. read more

I got the Koko's Combo Plate - gyros, pork kebab, shawarma It's a very reasonable amount of food for $15 and all tasty too! No complaints about any of the plate's components.

Koko's Mediterranean is absolutely delicious -- one of my favorite Mediterranean spots! Fresh flavors, great portions, and a place I always look forward to coming back to. read more

Came to this place on a whim and was surprised it wasn't bad. It seemed like another dime a dozen Mediterranean places. Koko's is actually one of the better restaurants in the Ukrainian Village area for sure. Has the favorites. There's falafel of course, coming on a plate or in a wrap. As we just needed something fast, we decided on getting something with falafel. It's was obvious. That's the best Mediterranean thing for vegetarians. Easy part. Question was would it be a plate or a wrap. We turned out to get wraps. It's about $9 for a pretty big one. These come with hummus, and a choice of tahini or tzatziki. I got it with tahini, which kind of got lost in everything else. There was a lot on it, and it was all good. For sure I could get something from here again. It's as good Mediterranean food as anywhere around here so it would be a place to get that, and maybe a plate the next time. There's good stuff like the falafel and more for vegetarians. read more

Koko's Mediterranean Grille - Falafel Wrap - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I placed a very large catering order for a party this past weekend. I felt like we got really great portion sizes for the price and the food was delicious. Everyone was raving about it. Highly recommend! read more

The good first. When you pay there's no slot for the tip and since I had to serve myself there's no tip coming. Now the bad (to me). They gyros meat doesn't taste right. When I chew it seem processed. Maybe different distributors. read more

I love this place, great neighborhood joint. The food is great and a very reasonable price. The menu is huge so everybody can find something they like! read more

Reminded me of the coney islands back home in Michigan! Great gyro and yogurt sauce is fresh. It's a very unassuming place not fancy at all on the inside. The servers speak Spanish and English so that is a plus. I went for breakfast but I I heard the burger is also really good! Looking forward to trying more. read more

Koko's Mediterranean Grille - Inside the restaurant - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The food was delivered cold shall not cooked rice hard I will never give them my money again

Oh how I love social media interaction with the Yelp Twitter page which tweeted: "Reply with a hand and we'll tell you what you should eat tonight". In response to my hand, the page replied with 'Falafel' which led me to searching for it within a radius of me. Out of what I found during my search, I loved Koko's Mediterranean Grille because it was located within Ukranian Village rather than Wicker Park. At the time, I had no interest in ordering anywhere in Wicker Park, especially along Milwaukee Ave! Even though I would have loved something on the lines of rice pilaf w/ falafel, I ended up ordering a Falafel Salad: 4 pieces of falafel with fresh mixed greens, green peppers, red onions, tomatoes, cucumbers and choice of dressing. A salad topped with dressing just felt like the perfect combination with falafel for me. I had no issues getting to the restaurant nor with parking! Outside of the restaurant, there is metered parking within the immediate area as well as neighborhood parking if you cannot get one of those metered spots. Since I visited for takeout, I parked and just turned on my vehicle's hazard lights then went inside to pick up my order. As expected, my order was just about completed as soon as I arrived. While waiting, I had the chance to look around at this fast casual style of an ambiance that has an alarming number of menu options including breakfast options! My pickup took no more than five minutes after verifying my name and order. As for the Falafel Salad, I enjoyed every bit of it; Its appearance was presentable, fresh, and its taste was definitely satisfying even without the french dressing I ordered but never received! Ok, Koko's Mediterranean Grille, I won't hold that against you because all and all I was satisfied. My initial response after my first bite was, "Mmm, not bad!". If you don't know how the rest of the scenario goes with good eats, then you might not be a foodie. All in all, I had a pleasant ordering experience with Koko's Mediterranean Grille. And as I indicated in this review, I enjoyed my meal and would surely order from again. Thank you, Yelp for the falafel recommendation via Twitter. For my readers, I will leave you with this falafel joke since I likely lost half of you with my review. What did the chickpea say when it got a stomach ache? "I falafel!" Hahaha, get it? I feel awful. ~Blessings~ Thomas G read more

Not to diss Koko's, they have an excellent Gyros Sandwich & the Cream of Chicken Soup is BOMB! Sadly, this is the 2nd time now I ordered a Greek Pork Chop Dinner @ $16, it was extremely small, dry , and the pork was burnt. They used to be very good. Unfortunately, I'm disappointed & never again! read more

One of our go-to spots for take out in our neighborhood. Perfect for when you can't decide where to eat, because their menu is extensive and everything is good! Service is always quick and efficient. Consistently SOLID! read more

They have the best Gyro sandwich in Chicago in my opinion. It's always solid. It's always consistent. If you get the combo meal, it includes fries and a drink and it's only about 15 bucks after tax. Great value. read more

Does the actual business. Fast, fresh, and efficient, the kitchen turns out a dependable and reliable--if not transcendent--Greek favorites. Menu is slightly difficult to wrap one's mind around but worth the effort. Casual vibe. Served breakfast lunch and dinner. Clean bathroom. read more

Great value. The half Greek chicken is awesome and cheap. More people should go here.

Great food!! Catering is also on mark. I've eaten breakfast and lunch at Koko's. Always great, I highly recommend this place. read more

Updating my review because after all these years, Koko's quality has not only stayed the same, but gotten better. First time trying the spanakopita and baklava and they were both excellent versions of each dish. I always ask for "juicy or white" potatoes because those are the ones that have been submerged in their delicious marinade and they pretty much always oblige. So appreciate that! The pork chop is even better than it looks. I've only ever gotten takeout or delivery and the food is always so well packed and I love that they started packing the salads that come with dinner separately. They also make it so affordable to order delivery directly through them with a reasonable delivery charge and 10% off when you order through them. Although I like to order direct, sometimes delivery charges make it cost prohibitive when I can get free delivery from the apps. And whenever I've gone in, the staff has been so pleasant and the restaurant is clean! The only thing I could request is that they add shrimp or fish to their dinner menu, would love to be able to get some simple greek seasoned jumbo shrimp or fish as a meal. And they could add more liquid to their potatoes prior to cooking so that they're all thoroughly flavored like the less browned ones are. I love you, Koko's. read more
