    Beef shawarma served atop a bed of fries.
    Jacob J.

    About a year ago a review pops in feed for Milo's claiming their shawarma sandwich is the best around! I was skeptical. Just the boon I needed to discover a new shawarma joint. There are many shawarma joints but not everyone has a great or decent sandwich. Usually just passable. But here, the chef is owning this menu. Since my many visits I've tried their shawarma and Kefta kebab sandwich which is soooooooooooooo friggin' good. Kefta is my favorite, beef shawarma is a close second. Kefta will differ from shawarma in how the meat is prepared. Shawarma is meat on a "spit" grill and is cut into slivers or slices like the meat contained in a gyros. Kefta is ground and mixed with some seasonings and formed into a kabab shape or patty. In the past I had tried their chicken shawarma as well which was forgettable. Most sandwiches are served on pita and few on Saj. If you've seen my reviews of Mediterranean restaurants, saj is a favorite. So, I always try to get my sandwiches on Saj bread if they would allow it. It's got more of a chew feel than a regular pita. Have also tried their burek which is not a spiral but comes in three single pieces of mozzarella wrapped in a longer piece of spring roll wrapper and fried. Something different than typical burek. Almost like a "real thing" version of a fresh mozzarella stick. Different tho good with a tasty side sauce. If stopping in to try, get a lunch special which is paired with a drink and fries. When served you'll notice that "fresh" quality in taste. Milo's sits on a corner with provided parking. They also own a next door business which offers ice cream and snacks during the warmer seasons. The restaurant is run like a carry out. If they got slammed with a rush of seated customers I wonder how they would meet demand. The dining room is better than most of their competitors nearby. Comfortable with good heating during the winter and breezy during warmer months. The pandemic has been rough for many of the restaurants in this locale. So it's my hope that people continue to frequent them and keep it going.

    Chicken Shawarma Plate

    I just ordered here for the first time through UberEats! I was craving Mediterranean, and so I decided to get Milo's Pita for dinner! I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Plate and Hummus. I LOVE that they don't skimp on the chicken. The rice, chicken, and veggies were flavorful!! When combined, all of it complimented well. I really enjoyed the hummus as well. It's homemade and very fresh. I liked the added touch of spices on it too! Pita bread was soft too! I HIGHLY recommend this place for your next Mediterranean takeout! Great prices and deals!! You get a lot for what you pay! I'll be ordering again in the future!

    Delicious food and even better customer service. I came in today with no expectations really and ordered the falafel bowl. Will be back. There is also Wi-Fi so a great spot to get work done and have lunch.

    This place is DELICIOUS, I highly recommend, I try a new thing every time I eat here and it doesn't disappoint, food is always fresh and yet quick service, they have the best falafel I've ever tried. Very friendly staff too

    If I could, I would eat here at least 2-3 times a week. Food here took me back to a few restaurants in Europe, where the beef was tender, fresh, and good quality meat. The flavor of the meat just hits differently and i keep coming back. The service is just as great as the food being served and the mellow ambient music-makes the experience an even better one to sit down, unwind, and enjoy goodness.

    Chicken Shawarma Sandwich no pita
    Tom T.

    If it's good enough for Chicago's Finest, it's good enough for me! Was driving home and saw two of the men in blue talking to the proprietor of Milo's and I knew I had to stop. When I asked the officers what they would recommend, officer number 1 said steak schwarma and officer number 2 said chicken schwarma. Needless to say, I knew that it was going to be a schwarma night. Being a Tuesday, a chicken schwarma sandwich was only $2.99 so chicken it was. I was not disappointed and had a crazy good falafel (or five) as well. Fresh, homemade and the perfect end to the first day of June after moving my son into a new apartment (not how I planned to spend the day but stuff happens). I even brought home some hummus that was out of this world. I think I found my new schwarma spot when I drive home from the city. Thank you officers and thank you Milo's!

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.
