    Chicken Kabob Plate
    Samuel A.

    Very sad this place hasn't had many recent reviews and there are so many low stars from years back. Whatever happened, they turned it around because the food is absolutely smackin. I get Greek Kitchen delivered to my work through fooda - basically a corporate ordering app service. I've ordered from GK probably 4-5 times now and it has been consistently one of the best lunches/meals I get. The chicken kabob is extremely juicy and tender EVERY TIME. And remember this is through a delivery system so I usually get it around an hour or so after it has been prepared. It doesn't dry out at all and has tons of flavor. I've also gotten the steak & lamb (good) and shaved chicken (also good) but in my opinion the kabob is the way to go. The sides are great too. I usually opt for the rice, cucumber & tomato salad, Greek pickles, hummus, and recently I tried the spicy feta which was the perfect combo of spice and lavish cheese. So good. The serving sizes are awesome here - I rarely finish my entire plate, but it is great for those days when I'm especially hungry and need that extra protein (again, don't play around, get that chicken kabob).

    Ordered their catering for the office and everyone enjoyed it. We got the rotisserie chicken w rice & a platter. It was good, definitely would try again

    The food here used to fantastic. They have raised prices and shrunk the portions. The chicken is dry and the salad cost $14 with tax. They have lost me as a customer.

    I'm from Detroit, home of Greektown so my standards for Greek food can be moderate to high. I wasn't expecting much and it would set I was whelmed with my food. While I was very pleased with the size of my gyro, the construction was poor. All of the sauce was out on a single end of the gyro instead of put on to the pita directly. This resulted in an extremely dry gyro. The pita itself was fine, and the fries were fries. Overall, I'd say that if you're craving Greek, this is probably not a bad place to get something. But as far as going above and beyond l, and being a place that you would seek out, this is certainly not the place. They get credit for having a very clean and well decorated store though. So if you're only judging it by looks then 5* fo sho.

    Nice map!

    Wow -- this was a great find! Fantastic food you can order in amazing variety if you just try different toppings and sauces and combinations. Fresh-tasting and very reasonably priced. Nice ambiance, comfortable and varied seating, interesting art pieces and decor. One of the nicer things, too, is that the serving sizes are generous. One gyro is ridiculously filling. Nice Ritual dealing going currently, too. I'm a fan now and look forward to eating there again.

    Popular and quick service Greek during the downtown lunch hour. With a line that was 20 deep when I arrived in, I thought this was going to be an adventure and a satisfying meal. The line moves fairly quickly, as the menu setup is simple. All the meats and salads are just scoop ready for the servers so you just go through the queue to order. Options: Either a wrap or plate. With wrap - everything is wrapped up - sauces, hummus, veggies and meat. With the plate - everything is on a plate. Pretty simple eh? A bit of a disappointment is that they don't shave the gyro meat off the roasting spit or a freshly roasted sausage out of the broiler, but I get it...its lunch time - fast fast fast!. I tried the hummus and the baba ganoush, which was lacking in flavor. The rice tasted like it was mass-produced and out of a box, lacking much flavor. Gyro was just meh, but the sausage was a welcome surprise. Fill-your own fountain drink setup. It was fairly easy to grab a table - as I think the traffic flows through nicely. Its spacious enough not to feel cramped at lunch. Overall - it was not what I expected. For a quick meal at lunch whilst downtown - GRK Greek delivers as expected...Food quality meh (there are better)...but its efficient and I would say good value for the quantity of food you receive.

    Lettuce so clear you can see the fork underneath. BAD.

    We order delivery from GRK a lot, and it's one of my absolute favorite places to get lunch from. Their tzatziki is to die for, IMO. However, we ordered from here this week and received frozen tzatziki sauce sides and inedible salad (see pictures). Luckily this wasn't the only item I ordered for lunch...I also got a large portion of their egg lemon soup, which is also something I dream about on days we don't order from them. Every other time, our orders have been totally fine. However, our most recent experience at this location will insure that I order from the other spots around our office.

    Lamb and beef gyro on a salad with spicy tahini, cucumbers, olives, spicy feta & tomato.

    FRESH GREEK I really think Chipotle has had an effect on the fast causal dinning experience. This place has taken the Chicago Style Gyro Sandwich to another level. Typical fast food gyros have one option and that's a pita sandwich only. This place allows you to get a sandwich, salad or a plate. What I like about this place is all of the options you can pick to choose with your meal. I decided to get my gyro as a salad. The guy grabbed romaine and I asked him for some spinach too. He looked at me like I wasn't suppose to do that but he didn't say no. I then had them add tomatoes, olives, red onion, spicy feta & cucumbers. The menu board was a little confusing. I asked the guy what else I could get on the salad and he pointed at the board and said anything. I then said how about some hummus and he told me that would be an extra charge. That is where my confusion was. I told the guy not to worry about it and skipped that option. I got the Greek Vinaigrette as a dressing. Then I saw the words spicy tahini and asked for a side of that. I love spicy. I was not a fan of the vinaigrette because it was a little bland. Instead I used the spicy tahini as a light dressing. It was amazing. There was also a pita on the side but I didn't eat that because I was trying to eat light and skip the carbs. I really liked this place. I loved having all of the fresh options and customization when making your food. I do wish the board was a little more descriptive. I was confused just looking up at the menu and the staff really did not take any time to explain it to me. They kind of stared at us and kept talking to each other. I kind of wished they would have asked if we needed help or walked us through the menu. Besides the lack of customer service the food was delicious and fresh. I will come back and next time I should be a pro at picking my food items off the menu. There are a few tables outside but you will not be in the sun. Yeah the tall buildings make a lot of shade. There are plenty of seats inside and the room is comfortable with nice booths. So if you are downtown and looking for a fresh Greek option then this is the place. You can grab your food fast and the way you want. This is the new way to eat in a fast causal setting in the city.

This year I was so excited to bring my family and Ema was the only restaurant in Chicago I couldn't wait for them to try. I booked it as our final meal in Chicago and lay awake at 4am being so disappointed in my choice. Our server's greeting was monotone and emotionless, which I realize now, would be foreshadowing the meal to come. Ordered the following 1) Smoky eggplant- arrived appearing as an unappetizing curdled purple grey mush. This was the worst tasting baba ghanouj I have ever eaten. It was acidic and had the texture of cottage cheese. The only redeeming thing about this appetizer was the warm naan. 2) house made stratciatella with side of green falafels- The stratciatella was bland and stringy. I would not order this dish expecting the creamy interior of typical burrata. However, if you like string cheese mixed with heavy cream- you may enjoy this dish. The tomatoes and basil were good. 3) chicken kefta- kefta was bland, rice even blander . 4) short rib with polenta- bland and the meat and polenta had the same texture, which seems impossible but somehow the plating was over complicated by the addition of mushy dates and grapes. 5) buttered noodles- my 8 year old ordered this. It was decent with a good amount of Parmesan and cooked perfectly al dente. By the end of the meal, I was so shocked by how terrible the food was I didn't even want to order the sticky date cake that was my main purpose for returning to this restaurant. Ema, what happened to you?!

I arrived 25 minutes later and they hadn't even made my order. From there, 3 different people told me it'll be another 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes. I ended up waiting 20 minutes and during that whole time there was no apology. One of the workers handed me a tea and later I saw they included dessert in the bag. It was a nice gesture but I was frustrated that it wasn't acknowledged by the staff at all and part of my order was still missing. I paid $2.25 for a Yogurt & Cucumber Sauce which I never received. The Caspian Mix Grill with Albaloo Polo was very good. The filet mignon & chicken breast were both juicy and well-seasoned. The Albaloo Polo is plain basmati rice mixed with saffron, caramelized onion and sauteed sweet & sour cherries. I liked the rice but it felt like they just threw the cherries on top rather than incorporate it into the rice. It was very filling, enough to share with 2 people, and good value. The Bamieh & Balava were also fresh, sweet, and a nice bite to end on. Ultimately, I would give the food a 4/5 and the service a 2/5, hence my 3/5 rating.

Nothing really went together and it was warm, which didn't make sense and made it worse. The steak was cooked how I asked, but the sauce was extremely oily and had this strange burnt flavor which likely was from the onions? The onions were extremely burnt, nothing like a typical caramelized delish onion. The chicken had the same issue, everything had that same burnt tasting oil and the chilies sitting in it just made it more intense. It was honestly just edible and nothing I would come back for or recommend. I love middle eastern food and know that even with a midwestern there are some considerations to take with the flavor profile but the burnt onions, burnt spicy oil in the chicken, and a warm salad are all indications for poor execution. As for the actual ambiance and experience it was my birthday and there was no acknowledgment at all not even someone to check in on whether the food was okay. I did not want to order a dessert after the salad, steak, and shawarma all missing the mark. The seating was very uncomfortable. It is cramped and communal and at this price point I expected a much better experience. Will admit I should have looked into the actual dining set up before booking a late night reservation but even still there are so many better places in Chicago where you can get better food and actually feel comfortable. Overall it just was not worth it. I would not return or recommend this spot.
