Went there for a Gyros. First problem, major language barrier. The woman taking my order barely spoke English. I thought she understood what I ordered by the way she stated "okay" after telling her I would like a "Gyros with everything on it, extra Tzatziki sauce and a small fries. Well, after waiting approximately 10 minutes for a Gyros and small fries, what I got was, a Gyros with about 4 strips of Gyros meat, very little onions and a small slice of tomato drenched in garlic salad dressing, wrapped in a flour tortilla. And it only cost me $15.98.

Beef Shish Kabob Entree

Absolutely horrible. No flavor. Hard pita. Rough meat. Flavorless rice. Never ever going here again.

Delicious and plentiful portions. Grilled meats were exceptional. Vegetables were fresh and delightfully prepared. Baba Ganoush had a delightfully creamy texture and smokey flavor. Very friendly and kind staff. Food was prepared fresh as we waited and dined in. Took home leftovers. Would definitely repeat.

A hidden gem! We stopped in at 8:45pm just before closing, and the staff were super nice, they welcomed us to dine in even though they close at 9, they stayed till 9:30 when we finished, and gave us great service through and through. Huge entree, enough to share for two people. Fries were fresh. No stale fries. We also ordered 4 beef samosas which tasted authentic and delicious, not overly stuffed with only onions and no meat inside like most places, these samosas went great with a cup of chai (upon request). Can't get over the great service, I hope this place gets good business. I noticed their catering menu as well and it's definitely more affordable than the bigger and more popular middle eastern/ Mediterranean restaurants. I will be coming back.

5/5 We had an incredible meal at Restaurant Chinor (Halal)!…read moreWe ordered the Uzbek plov, green tea, and samsa. The samsa came with an amazingly delicious sauce; even though the pastry felt like it might have been baked the day before, it was still so good that it doesn't change my 5-star rating at all. We also ordered a lot of plov and kazan kebab to take out. I haven't tried the kazan kebab yet, but it looks so tempting and delicious that I'm sure it will taste amazing too. Highly recommend! Good service Cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly staff. Will definitely come back! More parking lots, free parking

After a wonderful evening listening to an intimate concert by a Russian cellist at Arcada Theatre,…read moremy two Russian friends and I decided to have dinner at Chinor. What a fantastic choice! Even better, it's only a few blocks from my house, so I know I'll definitely be back. The restaurant is elegant without feeling pretentious. White tablecloths, a warm atmosphere, and attentive, friendly service immediately make you feel welcome. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu, answered all our questions, and guided us through dishes that were new to me. Everything we ordered was excellent. We started with one of their traditional breads, which was fresh, warm, and absolutely delicious. We also shared several salads, including an eggplant salad that completely stole the show. It was flavorful, beautifully prepared, and one of the best eggplant dishes I've had in a long time. Another highlight was their large steamed dumplings, similar in spirit to pierogi but distinctly Uzbek. They were generously filled with lamb, perfectly cooked, and incredibly satisfying. Comfort food at its best. One thing that really impressed me was how authentic the restaurant felt. It was busy with people who clearly knew and appreciated the cuisine, including many Eastern European and Central Asian diners, which always feels like a good sign. It is wonderful to find a restaurant serving authentic Uzbek food in the suburbs, and doing it so well. Excellent food, gracious service, and a beautiful atmosphere make Chinor an easy recommendation. If you're looking to try something beyond the usual restaurant choices, this place is absolutely worth the visit.

It's a true hole-in-the-wall spot with just enough seating for about 10-15 people, but don't let the size fool you--it's clearly a local favorite because it was busy throughout lunch. We ordered the tabbouleh, lentil soup, mixed shawarma plate, and a falafel wrap, and every single dish was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The owners were incredibly kind and welcoming, and they even treated us to a sample of their baklava. It was so mouthwatering that I had to get some to go! If you're looking for authentic, flavorful food and warm hospitality, this is the place. We highly recommend Chef Abdul and will definitely be back!

The waitress was very friendly, and provided us complimentary pita bread and pita chips and a sample of orange/pomegranate juice. The entrees were excellent, the beef kebab was amazing, very tender and fresh, as was the chicken shawarma. The portions are also massive and can easily be split into 2 meals if you wanted to. As an FYI, the dine in area is not very big so if you come during prime lunch time you may not be able to dine in. Overall if you want Mediterranean, I highly recommend Chef Abdul - a great chef and restaurant!

You don't have to go to Turkey for really good Turkish food, you just have to go to Morton Grove!…read morecame here for date night with my husband and it did not disappoint. There's parking available (always a plus), very cute decorations inside and gives a very welcoming energy when you walk in. A friend recommended this place and said the food is incredible and she did not lie! We started with lahmacun, which is a super thin, crispy Turkish flatbread topped with seasoned minced lamb meat, peppers, onions, herbs and spices. You usually add some fresh greens, a squeeze of lemon, roll it up, and eat it. It was SO good. For our main entrees, I went with the Iskender beef, and Enis got the chicken platter. His came with grilled chicken, rice, salad and a yogurt sauce. I don't know how explain iskender aside from its top tier Turkish food. Our waitress was extremely amicable and nice- always checking in on us and asking if we needed anything. Greatly appreciated her! We tried the baklava and it too was delicious- highly recommend this place to anyone looking to try halal Turkish cuisine!
