    Pita W Shawarma did not disappoint! The service surpassed any expectations I had. Staff were personable and friendly. All were patiently answering questions and took time to explain different dishes. I was moderately surprised by the amount of food that comes with each order. The decor was simple and tables/chairs were clean & sturdy. The place felt open with the furniture spaced apart. There is limited seating despite the amount of space. I think there was a total of 6 tables. Most importantly, the food was carefully prepared and presented. Everything was flavorful and well seasoned. We enjoyed it so much, we ordered for a large group gathering a couple weeks later!

    I have been looking and waiting for good shawarma to come near me in Buffalo Grove and finally we have one! I've already been here 5 times in the last 2 weeks it's so good. The staff is very friendly, but most of all the food is amazing. Their shawarma (beef and chicken) off the spit is moist and so flavorful. They have a great lunch special for 13.99 and you can choose between a couple different options. Plenty of parking, we will surely be regulars here for a long time!

    Pita w Shawarma, I'm so glad you're in the neighborhood. Authentic Middle Eastern flavors without needing a trip to Chicago. Real deal flavors that feel like someone actually knows their way around shawarma. Sauces are to die for, especially the garlic--do yourself a favor and grab it. Nice addition to the block, the folks running it seem genuinely into it and it shows in the food. Chill, casual spot--perfect for a quick bite or a relaxed dinner. Generous portions and solid value for what you're getting. If you haven't checked it out yet, you're missing out. This is my second time here and I've had the beef and chicken shawarma, the beef sheesh, lentil soup, hummus, falafel, and lastly the salad(yes, we order a lot of food). Nothing here disappoints.

    Hot, freshly prepared vegan and gluten free food options!! Staff was friendly and helpful. The Mediterranean grill has a classics cafe style. It did not disappoint! Thank you!

    Soooooo good! Went on a Wednesday night and had the beef kabob entree that comes with rice, salad, hummus and pita. Got a garlic sauce too. Delicious! Nice small business, come and give them some love and have a dinner you'll love at a very reasonable price. Great value and awesome food. Take out or sit in. I'll be back VERY soon.

    The food was incredible, well seasoned, it was warm but not hot which is fine with me. The falafel was moist and the hummus was well presented and creamy. I was delightfully shocked by the amount of food we got, one dish comes with an appetizer salad, hummus, and pitas. I got the chicken and beef meal which was spectacular. The service was great, they were friendly so no complaints there. It was fine for a little restaurant a homey feel with pleasent music (it reminded me of the music Disney world plays at night at their resorts). Overall really amazing hidden gem and so so so glad I went to try it out, I hope it stays for good!

    The menu is large.  Something for every taste.

    Armo Grill is near work and I finally checked it out with a group of colleagues. I got the lunch…read morespecial which was a good deal. My only minor complaint is that the meat to rice ratio was a bit low (of course I forgot to take a pic of my plate). Everything was tasty and the portions are big! Everyone enjoyed their meal. The restaurant itself is clean with plenty of seating. It seemed slow at first but they had a good flow of customers, which was a bit surprising given how cold and dreary it was that day. It had snowed a lot a few days before; the parking lot wasn't really cleared which made parking a bit confusing and scary. Everyone working there was kind and helpful. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes!

    I am a HUGE fan of Armo Grill. If you want an amazing meal, with incredible flavor and generous…read moreportions, this is your place. You order at the counter and then they bring the food to you in a very timely manner. It's a nice, cozy space, easy to park and there are always customers eating there and not just doing take out. When you do their combo meals, you pick your protein, a side, which is mushroom or rice pilaf or kasha, a salad and an appetizer. Their hummus is excellent. You also get a flat, stretchy pita type bread with it. There is the option of falafel or red beans for vegetarians. They also have a great lunch special during the week for only $10, which is an amazing price for how much food you get. I have a cousin that lives out of state, but whenever he is in town, he wants to eat here! The staff is always very friendly, and you can tell that the quality of the food is important to them. Definitely stop in for lunch or dinner. It will become one of your favorite places!

There is even a bar are with counter seating and three - five tables (two standard height and three counter height. There is a monstrous screen behind the bar for sports, but they mostly show videos of Greece, but they are mesmerizing videos of a beautiful country. It's a cleaner version of Dengeo's. And, dare I say, better version. Except for their avgolemeno soup. Such a weak travesty. Please fix this. It's just a watery mess. However, everything else is delicious. I ordered the Greek Chicken with their lemon-butter rice. They debone the chicken and serve atop a mountain of their rice. If also had their potatoes (which are good) but the rice is magical. The first time we went, they had a serve yourself soda fountain and they since got rid of it and sell soda in bottles and cans. They do still have a self-serve water station. Once you order, staff will bring to your table, so please tip when you order or leave on the table as they do come by and clear your table as well. It is first come first served and you grab your own tables. I've been there on weekends and weeknights and they get pretty packed. The food is flavorful and quite tasty. The portions are huge so you're definitely going to bring something home. Nostimo is now in our rotation of places to go in a pinch and they do have an outdoor seating area, too.

    We decided to come here as 2 of my sons wanted to try this place. We invited my in-laws and my…read morebrother-in-law and his family. Since there was a total of 11 and the seating is first come first serve, we decided to call to see if they had reservations. They did take our name and reserved a table. When we arrived we noticed a table was reserved and we were informed that it was our table. We sat and looked over the menus. When we were ready my 2 boys and I went up to place our order. My one son has major allergies so we spoke to the chef and he came back out to recommend the dishes he can have. It was great that he did so and gave us confidence that my son would be able to eat without worrying too much about the ingredients. I ordered the Shrimp Kalamakia with a side of the Greek Rice. My son with the allergies ordered the Pork Kalamakia with Greek Rice and no pita, my other son ordered the Traditional Pork Gyro with Greek Rice. The sides we ordered: Saganaki Fritters and Spanakopitakia. My son that ordered the Pork Kalamakia devoured it. He said it was tender and juicy and probably could have eaten 4 skewers. My Shrimp Kalamakia was nicely charred and seasoned, I squeezed some lemon and it provided a nice tang over the seasoning. The Lemon rice pilaf was soft and cook just right and was nicely balanced. I had one Saganaki Ball and it was delicious. My son had the Pork Gyros said it was really good and the Tzatziki sauce was creamy and rich with flavors. My in-laws bought the table desserts and I got the Baklava and my wife got Loukoumades (Greek Donuts with Nutella) and both did not disappoint. I really loved the citrus honey syrup in the Baklava. The Loukoumades had a crispy shell and nice a fluffy on the inside and the Nutella amount was perfect. This place is very good and well worth the price in my opinion. I loved the fact that they took the time to make sure my son with allergies was safe.
