    The first time I came, I wasn't a super fan, but bumped up my rating from 3 to 4 stars. We tried the Greek burger that was juicy and delicious and upgraded to the Greek style fries and the Greek salad very tasty and friendly service. She was a bit backlogged as there was just one employee working on multiple orders, but she was friendly and did her best. my mom and I will be back

    chicken kebabs
    Ręá Ę.

    I'm new in the area and wanted to try this place. Ordered chicken kebabs and it was delicious . Wasn't expecting it to be that good but, damn! I had salad and spicy feta with yaya(honey mustard aoli) dressing. Service was great. Place was empty since there's closing but clean and quiet. Will definitely come back again.

    Gyro bowl ($8 on Tuesdays, normally $12) comes with rice, protein, and choice of toppings
    Eric S.

    HERMES' PLIGHT When it comes to the gyros race, Covo lingers in the middle of the pack. This Greek fast-casual restaurant in Bolingbrook sits on the northeast corner of Boughton & Weber Rd, next to Dickey's BBQ Pit. This is 1 of 3 places along a stretch of Weber offering gyros and other Mediterranean dishes (Fill-A-Pita & Pita Zone are the others). Covo is basically a Greek Chipotle. You pick a bowl, pita, salad, or platter followed by your choice of protein, toppings, and a sauce. Pitas are $8 on Mondays (normally $11) and bowls are $8 on Tuesday (normally $12), so you can save a few bucks by taking advantage of these daily deals. In the past, Covo had spicy pork and döner kebab as choices for meat, but on this last visit they only offered chicken and regular gyros. Their condiments are tasty, especially the Mediterranean sauce which I can best describe as a Grecian salsa verde. The tzatziki is good, too. Covo's Greek fries ($4.50) come with crumbled feta cheese and lemon wedges. We've tried the spanakopita ($5.75 for a side order), avgolemano (chicken rice soup, $2.95), and rizogalo (ride pudding, $3.25), all of which tasted fine. On a recent carryout order, there was a considerable amount of uncooked rice in my gyro bowl which was an unpleasant surprise to say the least (this exact thing happened to me at a Chipotle in Melrose Park, and I never went back). The quality of the gyro meat was a bit iffy, as well. Not Covo's finest hour. The service can sometimes be slow, emotionless, or both. The same guy who took my order, put together the food, and rang me up was clearly going through the motions. He hardly said a word; after paying, the only thing I could elicit out of him was a grunt. * TL;DR * We were impressed on our first visit to Covo, but our satisfaction has waned every visit since. Prices are fair, not much different than elsewhere. I like that they offer a wide variety of sides, but the uncooked rice in my last order was a major turn-off. All things being equal, I'd just as soon grab a gyros + fries from Mickey's on Rt 53 (also in Bolingbrook). You could do better, you could do worse.

    Skepasti

    I ordered a SKEPASTI with fries and it was just covered with all kinds of sauces. I couldn't taste the meat so if I ever ordered that again, I would tell them the hold back the sauce the restaurant was dirty. The tables had been wiped, and you can still see streaks on all of them. Fingerprints were all over the chairs. Dust was accumulated on the windowsills the garbage seals the stools. It needs a good cleaning and it was just aweful. I didn't enjoy it.

    Kids meal you can't order and dirty restaurant

    I won't ever be back. Filthy restaurant. I'm mostly mad because on the sign it has a kids meal. The staff told me that the owner said they are no longer allowed to make kids meals. WHAT?! You don't want to sell kids meals, ok but put tape over the option... They had one person working, not fair to her but ok. The kid working got yelled at by the customer in front of me. I have no idea what for but it's not fair to put the staff in a position to anger customers. I swallowed my anger because I'm not going to take it out on someone who isn't making the rules. I used to love this place. Yikes, I hope the owner gets it together.

    This came with fries called the Skepasti With Steak and lamb

    Got an intriguing taste for Greek street food? I'll tell you no more, do not go to this place. Horrible in every way. Does not taste authentic and wasn't prepared for business. Craved for this from another Greek establishment didn't have it. Asked for that didn't have it. Too watery with the amount of sauce on top. Greasy, untasty and you're bound to sit on the toilet a few times afterwards. So for the courageous at heart and stomach please get home asap or the Target within the same plaza to clean out your intestinal tract. Not one person in restaurant when we were there. Seating area could be wiped down better especially tables and booth area. Now I know why. Place needs the health department to come by.

    Chicken Souvlaki plate
    Randy P.

    Ordered Chicken Souvlaki for plate, choice of sides were roasted red pepper hummus, rice, salad, vegetables salad and pita. Food was delicious with many choices of side dishes that are available with the plate option. Grilled Chicken was flavorful and juicy. Don't forget to ask tazzini and red hot sauce. My favorite was the roasted pepper hummus with pita bread. Thank you

    Chicken Pita Meal Combo

    This place is honestly disappointing. The service is terrible; there is only one worker up front, and they were out of almost everything, and on top of that, their soda machine was broken. I've always tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt, but every time I come here, my stomach hurts, and I never feel good after eating their food. Today I ordered the Chicken Pita and got food poisoning from it. I strongly recommend you do not come here; the ambiance is dirty. The women's bathroom doesn't work. Both bathrooms smell RANCID, and they are out of towelettes, hand sanitizer, and soap in the dispenser. Steer clear of this place.

    Pita beef and lamb
    Vita P.

    This is just an updated review and I'm pleasantly still satisfied!! Just wanted to share how much this place rocks and I hope they stay in business during COVID. Ordered the pita for the first time and this is huge. Was surprised how nice and large it was. This place always gives generous portions; they did it when they first opened and years later, they are still doing it. Whenever I'm in the area, I always make a point to stop here. Thanks!!

    And line infront of us

    See all

    Is there nutritional information for the menu items?

    I might have skipped over it, but I don't think they do? A majority, if not all of their menu items are made from fresh produce and proteins.

I came after 10:20 am and I ordered the chicken kufta lunch special, two different kinds of samosa, and kebabs. Prices were cheap, I got all of this for $25. They also have an area where you can get some fresh meat and deli items. Staff was friendly. Overall 4 out of 5. If they fixed the kebabs, it would easily be a 5. -chicken kufta lunch special 5 - he made this fresh. You get one pita bread with it. Meat was soft and tender. The rice and salad were very tasty. Huge portion. -samosas 5 - I got one beef and one potato. They were both delicious. -kebabs 3.5 - he gave me two big kebabs but they did not taste freshly made. I'm no stranger to kebabs and I usually like my kebabs to be tender and juicy. These were semi tough and kind of dry inside. I can see the spices in them but they would taste even better new.

The menu isn't extensive but they have a decent selection from which to choose. I ordered a chicken shawarma wrap to go and sat down while I waited for my food. The order took a little longer than expected but I could see that it was being made to order which I appreciated. I asked the cashier if they had any hot sauce and she happily grabbed me a cup. I really liked the chicken flavor and the toppings in the wrap. It came with a cup of garlic sauce which I appreciated but was a little too thick for my taste so it was kind of hard to add it into the wrap. The hot sauce was interesting and had a flavor profile similar to others I've had but with something added that sets it apart. Although I think I prefer others I still appreciated what it brought to the wrap. If you're a fan of middle eastern cuisine I would recommend giving Taste of Jerusalem a try.

It's tiny inside and feels well worn (in a good way), but there are a few tables outside. We went at an off time (or so we thought), but eventually all four tables and all bar seating were taken up. The gentleman serving us seemed to be the only one there, but he was friendly. We ordered a taktouka sampler, mixed grill platter, and lamb shank tagine. If you go to a Moroccan restaurant, you've got to get tagine. It took a little while for the food to come out, but overall it was excellent. The taktouka sampler was full of veggies. It was tasty, but I wish the carrots were cooked more to soften them. The mixed grill platter had chicken and beef kabobs, as well as something like a kefta (ground meat) kabob. The meats and rice were good, although the beef and chicken could have been more tender and juicy. The white sauce was a nice accompaniment. The lamb shank was excellent; nice tender meat, tasty rice, and delicious supplemental flavors from the figs and apricots. Overall, a very nice lunch.

The kitchen is all the way visible, with nothing to hide. A number of Doner roasters and fryers on the back wall, and through the glass all of the preparation bins were RIGHT THERE. It all looked superb and fresh. The billboard menu above was easy to read, although if you don't know what Bashka or Mansaf is, you're not going to find out anything there. The Gal behind the counter (at least on the day I was there) seemed to not have the best command of English, although she was most polite and professional. I had never heard of a "Puffy" Pita, so of course I swung with a "Crispy Puffy Lamb Pita with Everything". They were making Falafels for another order, and they looked swell, so I piped an order of 3 as a side dish. Upon walking in, there was a cart that had an assortment of Middle-Eastern Pickles (Which I have a remarkable affinity for). When you order them, they hand you a clamshell and you return to the cart to "Pick your own". A perfect diversion while your food is prepared to order. There was a pile of fab-looking Baklavas in clamshells in the ordering window, and they were SO fab-looking I had to throw one in on my order. Well. I got in the car and HAD to try one of the Falafels while they were hot and crispy (Wife was driving). Need to say, these might have been the best Falafels I've ever had. Chock full of flavor, with a mighty crunch, and this was even without a dunk in the provided Tahini sauce. I savaged the entire order of 3 before we got home. The "Crispy Puffy Lamb Pita" was a handful, and it too, was a flavor extravaganza. I don't know exactly what constitutes a "Crispy Fluffy Pita", but this one was really delish. On another, later visit I had just a "Puffy Lamb Pita" which was notch below the Crispy morsel, but still yum. The Garlic and Pomegranate sauces on the side were tasty, but the CripsyPuffy really did not need any help in the flavor department. Wife had procured me a Hot Tender from "Fry The Coop" a few doors down from Hello Shawarma here, and I was dipping it in the Hello Shawarma sauces to the Chicken Tender's advantage. The Baklava was, as it turned out, not simply good, it was OUTSTANDING! Full disclosure, with the absence of Arak on my booze shelf, I substituted a nice glass of Ouzo on the rocks to quaff with my meal, and it was a perfect call So I'm throwing 5 for this fab chain, a fine mid-eastern meal indeed!
