I had ordered the Veggie combination plate for dining in. I realized that it's essentially take out shop with some chairs and tables around. I was given food in the same plastic containers used for takeouts. The pita was top notch. I will try to find places where I could that kind of pita. I thoroughly enjoyed the Baba Gannoush and the falafel. If I do go back and was in mood for vegetarian, I will order those specific items. It felt like the Hummus was missing something but not sure what exactly. The grape leaves were sort of tough and stringy and were really bite sized. It made me think about the meme - Is this for ants? Didn't particularly care for the Tabolueh salad. The price including tip came to nearly $20. Neither the quality nor the quantity justified the price. At least for me, the value proposition did not work, read more

This is the best meditation restaurant in Chicago. The food and service are amazing. It tastes authentic and delicious. Let me start with the service: the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They offered me a falafel while I was waiting which tasted amazing. They tried to make sure that they made our order correctly. The falafel taste just perfect, crispy from outside and soft from inside. The falafel wrap was great. I enjoyed every bite of it. The chicken Shawerma is the best in Chicago. Also, the portions are pretty big. As a Mediterranean person I have a very high expectation when it comes to Mediterranean food and I recommend Sinya! read more

Food is pretty good, not as great as the reviews read. Lentil soup was over seasoned. That was my experience, read more

So good! I was having trouble deciding what to get and the guy I was with suggested Mediterranean and after a brief Yelp search I saw how well rated Sinya was so we decided to order form there! We got: - Baba Ghanoush - comes with 3 pieces of pita (each piece is half a circle) and was really good. We ended up warming some of the pita breads in the microwave to make them warm & fluffy - highly recommend that if you're ordering delivery! - Mixed Shawarma Entree - also comes with 3 pieces of pita, I was pleasantly surprised since I thought it would only come with 1 piece! the hummus that comes with this entree was yummy! - Chicken Shawarma (side) - would definitely get this again as someone who loves chicken and the curry-ish (?) spices on the chicken makes it really flavorful. My only complaint is that their beef shawarma is actually beef + lamb according to the description. TLDR: There's a reason why this cute, fast casual Mediterranean spot is rated 5 stars. Food portion sizes and quality of the food are both good for the price! I will definitely be ordering from here again. read more

Solid fast-casual restaurant with tasty food and quick service. You can also order online for pickup.

AMAZING!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND The food is actually so delicious! The service was quick and excellent! The space is so clean and modern. We ordered falafel and hummus as well as two wraps. Everything was so good and the sauces were super tasty! Will be coming here again for sure! 10/10 read more

Sinya Mediterranean Grill - Chicken Shawarma Entree - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

As a middle eastern woman I'm pretty picky about "Mediterranean cuisine." I have now had Sinya four times and it has been so good each and every time. My kids and husband love it too. They get bonus points for serving beyond meat kabobs, as I'm a vegetarian. The falafel, hummus, and rice is totally on point as well. read more

I ordered at the restaurant for takeout and it took more than five minutes for an employee to acknowledge and take my order. They seemed busy fulfilling other orders but I was the only person in line at the restaurant. Once I did place and received my order, I was disappointed they do not provide sauce for the Mixed Shawarma or any of their entrees. I've been to plenty of Mediterranean restaurants and have ordered similar Shawarma dish and a sauce is always provided with the order. I checked the website online ordering and the sauce is listed as optional and for an additional $.55 per sauce. The Mixed Shawarma plate itself was already $18+ and additionally you have to pay for sauce? On top of that without sauce, the taste of the plate was really dry and lacked flavor. The sauce usually enhances the flavor of the dish. I also ordered the lentil soup and it was just okay, the flavor was kind of bland and had too much lemon in my opinion. I was really excited to try Sinya but fell short for me. The prices were high and not including a sauce with the entrees threw me off. read more

Ordered on line thru Yelp. Order was ready when I arrived (15 minutes later). I am generally a double cheeseburger kinda guy. My gf and I sampled many of the different selections at Sinya..Falafel is not generally in my wheelhouse but I enjoyed it very much. The gyro was fresh and delicious. About as good a gyro as I have ever had. Salad:YUGE portion and very fresh..red onion, olives, feta..yum. My 18 yo son who considers himself to be a conissour of french fries says the waffel fries are 5 stars. Yes even the fries are good here. Only downside is dining in. Just a few tables. Definitely more of a take out venue. read more

I've been to many, many Mediterranean restaurants in Chicago and Sinya is at the top of my list. I've taken out from here 15 times. The food is well-prepared consistently and the service is great. read more

Excellent service & chicken kabobs were nicely cooked & tender. The hummus & Jerusalem salad were great too. Good value for the $. It was nearing closing time & they didn't turn me away. I would definitely go back!! Yum! read more

Such a good gyro I ordered a second one it's that good. The place is hip, very millennial style, but nice. Really clean and good service. Bathrooms are a plus (your hands will get dirty) read more

Driven by so many times. So glad I finally tried. To start service was nice. We decided to try the mixed grill and falafel plate, mint lemonade and variety of sauces. Everything was delicious and packaged well. The hot sauce so good. We will be back. read more

This place is legit. The falafel was cooked perfectly. The chicken tasted amazing. The dinners were on point.

A little expensive, but the food was great nonetheless. I got the chicken kabob entrée along with some baklava and falafel. The chicken kabobs were by far the star of the show and they were paired extremely well with the bed of rice underneath it. What made it truly special was then combining with the (obviously) freshly made tzatziki sauce. the only true gripe I have about this chicken kabob entrée is that I felt asking $20-ish for it was just a bit overpriced. Personally, I would think of this entrée as being in the $15-ish range, though I also understand that this seems to be more of the typical price range for said dish in this area. I also would've appreciated for the pita to have been a bit fresher, but I will attribute this simply to the fact that it was a carry out order, as when I warmed it up it was phenomenal to taste. The baklava was outstanding and I actually thought it was pretty reasonably priced (I believe it was just around $5 for four pieces). Overall I was a big fan of Sinya's, and I would definitely be more than happy to stop here again should I be in the area. read more

A great add to the neighborhood. Fast, friendly, generous portions, great flavor. Meats could have used more of a char, but otherwise perfect chicken and beef shawarma. Great rice, very fresh hummus and baba ganouj. Spinach pie would be better described as a pocket, but also quite good. A good sized menu for such a small place. Can't wait to try the rest. Let's conspire to keep this place open! read more

Top-notch service and the food is even better. I definitely will be a customer once more. Atmosphere 10/10 Service 10/10 Quality 10/10 read more

Loved the food - got the falafel wrap, lentil soup, a side of hummus and pita, and the mango juice. So so yum. Falafel are so soft. Customer service was great, and the place was so clean. Would highly recommend! read more

Brand new place in Roscoe Village. My wife and I just finished a fantastic take-out dinner. The falafels were fresh and tasty - we really enjoyed different sauces.

Sinya Mediterranean Grill - Mixed Shawarma Entree and Mixed Grill Entree - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

One of the best elevated, fast casual Mediterranean restaurants in the city. Ambiance is exceptional with a very high grade of food quality. I enjoyed the chicken shawarma thoroughly and one of the better lentil soups that you will have, but please make sure you put lemon in it. You can also experience one of the best falafels around, along with some of the most interesting homemade hot sauces i have consumed. read more

The food is excellent and hospitality is great I definitely recommend Make sure you try the hummus and the chicken kebab read more

I stopped here to pick up dinner tonight and was quite impressed. Everything was tasty and authentic. I tried the falafel, lentil soup, and mixed shawarma plate. Great addition to the neighborhood and excited to come back! read more

Absolutely phenom. I daydream about their chicken kebab plate -- so juicy, so tender. Their hummus is the best -- so creamy, so yummy. The baklava is actually crispy. I don't know if I've ever had not-soggy baklava before! I live down the block from Sinya and always get take out from here when my friends and visitors come over. They are always promptly ready and extremely courteous. The best new neighbor! read more

We went there last night before going to Mind's Eye studio and everything was so good! The staff person was super nice and recommended the mint lemon drink which was SO good. I tried the chicken shawarma, stuffed grape leaves, and spinach pie and everything was delicious. Most of their business is takeout but there were a few tables to dine in. I will definitely be back. Support Palestinian businesses and tip well!!! read more

I ordered the falafel and gyro for pickup. The falafel are crisp and flavorful, among the best I've had. The gyro was absolutely stacked with juicy meat. This may be my new place for Mediterranean. read more

We drove past this cute little spot in Roscoe Village and since Mediterranean food is our favorite, we decided to give it a try. We tried the beef and chicken shawarma and the mint lemonade. The food was amazing and my husband particularly loved the mint lemonade. The service was very quick! Possibly our favorite shawarma spot! read more

Food is excellent. Customer service is even better. They forgot to include pita with our hummus and were super apologetic and sent over fresh pita within 15-20 min. Will definitely be ordering from again. read more

Awesome new addition to Roscoe Village! Super high quality and delicious food. I've tried a number of things and so far my favorite is the chicken kabob. The meat is so flavorful and great char from the grill. Their platters are such a good deal as well, you get yummy rice, hummus and pita (freshly made!), and a little salad. I always get two meals out of the serving. Don't forget to grab a sauce as well, I really like their hot sauce, great flavor. Another great treat is their waffle fries, seasoned and super crispy. Service is great as well, the food is always ready super quickly and everyone is very nice. So happy to have this great new restaurant in our neighborhood! read more

Picked up lunch here yesterday. Portions were huge. Excellent schwarma (tender and flavorful), hummus, and rice. Salad was fresh. Will order from here again. read more

Really good grab & go Mediterranean spot. Loved the lentil soup & the gyro wrap. Relatively quick and very clean inside to eat. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Everything we had from Sinya was delicious! The kabob entree had tender marinated chicken, vegetables, rice, side salad, hummus and pita bread. We had a filling dinner tonight and there was enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Sinya is a high quality Mediterranean restaurant that's a welcome edition to Roscoe Village. I'll be a regular here! read more

That is not chicken shawarma I'm middle Eastern and that was roasted chicken .. falafel not authentic.. sorry but I love good and I have tried many .. read more

Just excellent. What a great little spot to grab take out Mediterranean food. My only regret is I didn't try it sooner.

Went for our third time today (so 1x a week so far lol) and I want to add that you can choose your sauce flavor now on the online system. The tzatziki & garlic sauce are so damn good! Hubby loved the spicy red sauce as well & his giant side of gyro meat! read more

These guys know what they're doing. If you order on Grubhub for one of the schwarma plates, I'd recommend ordering 5-10 minutes before you pick up. The estimated time on Grubhub is wrong, and they're extremely quick about packing up the food for you. The meat is super tender and I love the hummus. They also have sauces if you're into that kind of stuff (e.g. garlic, spicy, etc) read more

Really delicious food, good veggie options, all staff and owner very gracious. Clean facility, good outdoor seating area- definitely would recommend and definitely will be returning! 10/10 read more
