Suggestions for Mediterranean Restaurant near Chicago

Caroline M. • March 18, 2019One of my top 5 favorite restaurants in Chicago. Beautiful space with a great outdoor area in the summer. Big fan of the crispy short rib, hummus, and the stracciatella...but everything is delicious.

Ruby A. • June 7The chicken thighs with black beans and labneh was spectacular. They have a good orange wine by the glass too!

Alison K. • August 30, 2016The octopus is a fabulous take on classic Eastern Mediterranean grilled octopus. Lemon, char + deliciousness. Wine menu is global without being classic/tired, and fascinating!

Manoj A. • March 11, 2021Excellent meal, make sure to get the fried pig ears and the butternut squash créeme brûlée for dessert. Many great options with an equally extensive wine list

Mightybytes • July 23, 2012With 30 years’ expertise in Lebanese and Greek Cuisine, Andies Restaurant’s gyros, lamb couscous, flaming saganaki cheese, and sweet baklava are all “must eats”.

Lucille F. • October 6, 2021Authentic Turkish cuisine. Love the grilled lamb, chicken and squid dishes. Best to come as a group and share dishes family style. Leave room for dessert & Turkish coffee!

Steven M. • November 5, 2013Best shawarma I've had in Chicago. There is a hint of rosemary and citrus that really take the meat to another level. The braised leg of lamb is delicious too!

Jamie I. • July 19, 2021Everything!! I created my own salad...greens, cucumber, tomato, banana pepper, black lentils and I added salmon!! It was SO delicious and very healthy! They give you a small round of pita bread too!😋

Anna • February 19, 2016Love this fast, healthy, and convenient place. Get the roti pita sandwich and load it up with sauce and veggies and feta!

Jack H. • February 5, 2014Great food....Great service.  I highly recommend this authentic and quaint little Turkish restaurant that is situated in a cozy neighborhood.

Maita • July 29, 2013Love their sandwiches! The bread is crisp on the outside and soft inside with a distinct flavor. The owner, Zizi always greets his customers.

Carl • April 8, 2018A hellish corporate dystopia. Delicious fish tacos and organic wines! Gluten free options to boot.

Zach D. • May 10, 2015Great crispy falafel and excellent wraps. Probably my most visited lunch place in lakeview!

Colin M. • June 12, 2019Unbelievably delicious and fresh food. The Arayess is so good, like a Lebanese beef quesadilla without the cheese and the flavor and spices in the Meat Boorak appetizer is so amazing.

Kelly K. • August 11, 2012Get the octopus and hummus. And basically anything on the tapas menu. So good.

Alex P. • October 7, 2010Best falafel in chicago and consistent too. Have it with the eggplant / aubergine

Gonzalo J. • July 7, 2019Wonderful new restaurant in Lakeview. All food is cooked at the time you order, no pre-made stuff, only fresh and delicious food. Of course, that means that it takes longer to fulfill your orders.

MD • January 28, 2019The food is amazing and really delicious, The only thing that made me sad that I didn’t know about this restaurant from a long time! Amazing!
