I have foolishly put off trying this place out for about a year. They opened in 2019 and I just ate Ed's Chicken kabob on rice with veggies and Lentil soup. OMG! Amazing! The Chicken thighs were seasoned to perfection and cooked so it's so moist it would be falling off the bone if there was one. The rice, same situation. Amazingly seasoned and cooked without a hint of starchy, stickiness. I live how traditional the, soup, carrots and salads and salsas are. Very authentically prepared and extremely fresh. He's a one man show it looks like so again, Wow! Do be foolish like me and check it out now. Support independent restaurants! read more

This place is delicious. My parents picked up dinner from here for the whole family and it was amazing. The flavors are great- a combination of near east Asia /middle east. Lots of delicious herbs and seasonings (cumin, parsley etc) come through in the meat and rice dishes. The Samsa were delicious, the chicken was juicy- not dry at all. The rice was delicious and the egg plant salad was on point. We will definitely be ordering from them again. Can't wait to try more food! read more

Food was amazing! Highly recommended! Definitely should try it out some time! Awesome job

Good quality for the price. Fresh chicken thighs straight off grill. Definitely recommend.

Great kabobs and very generous portions. I had the lamb and my wife had the chicken. Seating for about 8 in the restaurant. Wonderful for take out. read more

Ed's Kitchen - Mediterranean Near Me - Woodridge, Illinois

We had visitors that love to eat Mediterranean food, so we ordered some takeout from Ed's. Everyone loved it! The baba ganoush was tasty. I had the flame broiled chicken kebab plate and ordered a side of garlic sauce. It was a lot of food, and it was delicious! It took me two days to eat it all! Other reviewers have added nice photos of the dish. We will be back! read more

I was craving some chicken shwarma and Ed's Kitchen did not disappoint! Huge portions and very reasonable prices (seems like still pre-inflation numbers). Also got lamb shwarma and lentil soup. Great taste and fast service. Def recommend. read more

Not for me. Was looking forward to the falafel wrap only to be disappointed. The falafel were extremely mushy but furthermore, it's not served in a pita--but a flour TORTILLA and then pressed in something like a panini maker. Just no. Also, the menu says all wraps have fries in them. This one did not. I doubt it would had saved it anyway. Going back to Cedar Grill. That's what I get for cheating. Also, there are signs up saying to talk to Ed before posting negative reviews because he's a small business. I understand small businesses but let your food speak for itself. That said, a lot of guys were picking up food so maybe this is just a great place for carnivores. Get anything except for the falafel wrap! read more

Hidden gem off Hobson. After moving from chicago back to the burbs I was worried I would not be able to get my Mediterranean fix without making a trip back to the city. Ed's kitchen is offering amazing quality and fresh made to order food. Hope everyone gives them their business for years to come. read more

I just visited for the first time this week with colleagues and came back again to get takeaway for my family! Food is fantastic, chef is amazing, service is friendly, great for take out or a quick dine in. Delicious!!! read more

Great local find. One of the best kept secrets in the suburbs. Not your regular run of the mill Mediterranean place.

First time ordering from here and will be back for more! Lamb and chicken Kebab meals were more than enough for both of us. Hummus was good, average Pitas but that isn't worth taking a star off. Happy to help support a local business during these crazy times. read more

Ed's Kitchen - Lamb Kebab - Mediterranean Near Me - Woodridge, Illinois

Great food as always salmon was done just right and Kharcho soup is just what a doctor ordered on a rainy day Thank you Ed read more

The pork kebab was delicious: crispy on the outside and moist and flavorful inside! Done right! Wish I ordered more of their marinated onions! Thank you! Ordering again today! read more

Grilled chicken and pork are very tasty, tender , smoky flavor (it's like typical shashlik) . I liked that 10% off deal you order via messenger. They forgot my hachapury that's the reason I took one star off . I would advise to include that yogurt drink ( Iran ) in your menu , it goes good with Middle Eastern food . Overall definitely recommend!!! read more

This place got my family through last year's Covid lockdown. Delicious, healthy ethnic food that's made from scratch! We especially like the Lula Kebabs. Our vegetarian friends enjoyed their Dimok Salad, as well as the Spicy Carrot Salad. As the weather turns colder, we'll be turning to these guys for COMFORT FOOD! Definitely worth checking out. read more

I finally had the chance to try Ed's kitchen and I'm mad at myself for waiting so long. I went with the shawarma wrap and it was perfectly executed- lots of flavor without being too soggy. You can tell the ingredients are super fresh, and Ed knows what he's doing. read more

I'm putting my review right in the middle because I need to try more items. I had the chicken showorma wraps which were very good, and a meat pie that was spice with cumin I believe. Good food at a steal of a price, it was bogo wrap special . I ate both wraps, filled me up that I did not eat dinner that night. I would Recommend the place! read more

The best choice of any kind of meats, ready for bbq, with all the spices and everything!!! They also have different meat dishes that you can order and get them cooked shortly!!! Very professional and honest owners! read more

Been in the area for a little over a year and this is our to go spot. The kabobs are made once your order, so they are always fresh. Have had the chicken, beef, pork, and lamb kabobs, and all have not disappointed to date. The sides are also tasty. read more

Best gyro I have ever had! if you are in the area of Woodridge highly recommend the owner Ed is extremely nice and welcoming! 10 out of 10 quality. read more

Great food! A hidden gem for sure!! Greek street good but on level with gourmet quality!

We aren't from the neighborhood, so we checked Yelp for suggestions and decided on Ed's. I am so happy we did! What a gem. I had the chicken plate and it was the best chicken I've ever tasted. The falafels and zucchini caviar were musts as well! The owner and employees were very nice. We definitely will be back!! read more

I ordered the Chicken kebab with lentil soup, beyond good and very fresh I highly recommend ordering here !

Excellent food. Beef Kabab, Chicken Kebab, Kabob Dinners Lamb Chop, Lentil Soup order ahead

First time trying this spot and will be back. We got the beef and lamb kabob plates. Quality and quality of food was plentiful and delicious! All the sides were great too. Can't wait to go back and try more of their items. read more

We've been here several times, and I swear it just gets better and better, which doesn't even seem possible. The Lula is out of this world. The carrot salad is amazing. Portions are generous! So happy they came to the area! read more

My first visit there was very good friendly staff and great food. I got the gyro wrap and it was delicious 10/10. Will be going back there and telling my family and friends to go there. Highly recommend. read more

Legit good...had the lamb and chicken kabobs. I'm a really good cook and grilled and that chicken was f'n wow. The lamb was great but I make a mean lamb chop, hard to compare. Lentil soup tasted like it came from a Mediterranean grandmas house. Carrot salad was wow and unique. Never had carrots with cumin vinegar and a little kick. What a nice contrast to the lamb. Sorry already ate or I'd post a photo. The only ding I'd give is from the app you order a kabob and get dressed salad and kabob over rice with pita on top, so it's a full meal. The other ambiguity is from the app it has an option for 16oz sauce...only problem is I have no idea what the sauce is. I could've called but I didn't need it anyways the food was seasoned really well. Will order again for sure. Thx Ed read more

Wow. The food here is amazing. Beef Kabab and Lamb Kabab were tender and seasoned very well. The rice, salad, and carrot salad were also great. All the food was fresh and tasted home cooked. It took 10-15 minutes, but that was fine for the fresh cooked meal. The interior was very welcoming. Due to Covid, it's take out and delivery only. Hopefully someday we can use the counters. Pretty sure it was Ed who took care of us. Great service! Highly recommend Ed's Kitchen read more

Amazing food! Fast, and great service. Food is grilled over real wood. 10/10 would recommend.

I found this place here when I was browsing for a good place to buy our dinner last night. We had 2 chicken, 2 beef kabobs and 2 large lentil soups. Didn't get the time to take pics because I think we inhaled the whole dinner in just few minutes Lol. They were so delicious! The meats, the sides and soup were the bombs! That was our first time and definitely will come back again and again! read more

Good food. At an unusual place in a strip mall. Easily missed if you are not aware of it's location. Almost as good as Ethnic Mediterranean fast food. Food is good and hits the spot. It didn't sway me from my other Mediterranean restaurants that I go to. But definitely a once try place, and you can determine if this is your place. Unfortunately I have 2 to 3 more favorites places. Even though this is very close to my house. I don't think I can leave my favorite places for this one. read more

Very tasty, made with soul, large portions and not expensive, thank you very much again, you are doing more than just food!

I just ordered take-out from here for the first time. It was great! I got the lamb kabob entree, pork kabob entree, and the soup of the day. The pork was good, but the lamb was amazing (order the lamb)! It was ready in 15 mins, cooked perfectly, and generously portioned. I would highly recommend this place for a solid meal. read more

I have come here three times now. The food is magnificent. The owner a very kind. So far I have ordered the Chicken Kabab, Lula Kabab, and Karcho soup. Ed makes all of these dishes very well. Whatever he marinates his chicken in really makes things taste delicious. Another thing I love seeing is Ed checking the temperature of the chicken to make sure it is cooked properly. Aside of the chicken, the rice that comes with the meal is a nice balance to go with the meat. I also love the miniature spicy carrot salad and chopped salad that comes with the meal. Come meet Ed and try the delicious food he makes. I only wish the place was opened past 7pm :) read more

I live a few blocks from this place and have been passing it while driving on Hobson for quite some time. My wife and I finally decided to give it a try last night and man oh man, this is some seriously good food. People can argue that Mediterranean places are quite common in the area, and although that might be true, the tastes are what separate them. I love Fil-a-pita with a passion, but if you were to give me chicken from both places, I'd choose Ed's in an instant. The flavors and spices used really make this place unique. We had to try everything so of course we got an order of fish, hummus, falafel, chicken, chicken and pork lula, chebureki, kharcho soup. It was all so so good and just tasted more unique compared to other places. I don't know, I'm not an expert on Mediterranean food, but there's just something about Ed's Kitchen that makes me want to eat more and more and more of it. Also, I had never heard of Chebureki or Kharcho soup but thanks to Ed's, I'm now a huge fan. We were also very surprised at how fast Ed's was with communicating with us. We had put in an order of khachapuri but at that point, it had been sold out for a few hours. Ed HIMSELF called us up and told us what had happened and that he would be giving us another Chebureki for free. Amazing! My only complaint wouldn't even be a complaint so much as a suggestion for others. Grubhub is limited with choices from the menu. If you order online through toasttab, there's WAYYYY more options to choose from than Grubhub. If we had gone through grubhub, we would've never gotten Chebureki or Kharcho soup. Absolutely worth it in my opinion. read more

Good food. Fast service. Like to get food here when I want something like what feels like homemade but don't want to cook.

We are from out of town and found Ed's Kitchen on Yelp. We were in town for a youth hockey tournament and needed to fill the boys with some good protein. We could not been more satisfied. The chicken shawarma was awesome. I highly recommend giving Ed your business. read more

Food was delicious and flavor was great. We met Ed and he explained the menu and even gave us some hummus to try. It was really good! Overall great experience and great value. Portions are huge and I had enough to take home for lunch the next day. Will definitely be back again. read more
