This is hands down my favorite middle eastern restaurant in the area. The most authentic traditional Iraqi style with the most flavor. The shawarma here is excellent the falafel is great the lentil soup is delicious. My family loves to order the fish from here as well. Nice sized portions for the money and they are consistent with the food and service. The lady working the front and serving is always there and she's super kind and hospitable. Cozy vibe on the inside with plenty of available street parking. Definitely more of a casual local family vibe nothing fancy or date spot here just comfortable good traditional middle eastern food. I will definitely be a regular here. read more

At this nondescript corner grill, the famous chef Baba prepares Mediterrean halal flavors and spices. I ordered the Combination #2 for takeaway -- a Vegetarian combo with hummus, baba ghanoush, falafel, tabbouleh and pita. (Check out the pita --it's the size of a football). My order was ready quickly. The hummus was ok, but the baba ghanoush was to die for! Falafel were nice and crispy and the tabbouleh was fresh and bright and top-notch. Parking is street parking only, although I found some on the side street. The restaurant was empty when I arrived, and when I left as well. Friendly service, though, and reasonables prices. I will stop in again. read more

We recently visited Sarra Grill. Our meal was a 3.5, the service was a 5, so we landed on a 4. Everything was pretty good. We don't think it was "super flavorful -- we are dying to come back here" good. Most of what we ordered was simple, fresh, and lightly seasoned, except for the couscous which was a little hard/dry for us. read more

Wanted Mediterranean food as my last supper before returning home and came across this location. My uncle has seen it for years but has not stopped by and was glad this was the day. The server who seemed more like the owner, was very knowledgeable and proud of the menu. I ordered the grilled cat fish, which they are known for. We also ordered an appetizer "Maria" which was flat bread with seasoned ground meat. Lentil soups, green salad and falafel wrap. The portions were bountiful and the quality was excellent. Had leftovers to take home.It was a non rushed atmosphere with plenty seats inside. Parking in the street and a few spots in the back. Would return to enjoy again. read more

I have been on a Mediterranean kick and Sarra Grill always hits the spot!!! It is one of my go to spots. I get their lunch special with couscous instead of rice and the portion is pretty filling. After having couscous I am addicted to it. It is sooo good! The lunch special comes with three different meats so you can try a variety. Friendly service. I order take out so no issues with parking. Take out is sealed nicely with aluminum foil to keep the food hot and saran wrap as well. Hands down highly recommended! read more

Today, our travels took us to the Skokie area. The reviews recommended Sarra Grille. Parking was a little tough on the streets since 90% required a permit. Upon entering, the place is very clean and the music was soft. We were immediately greeted and sat by the owner. She was very, very pleasant to talk to! We each got the chicken and this kabob sandwiches. They complimented us their delicious house soup for being new customers. Our food came out quickly. I must say, initially we thought the sandwiches were snall...but they were perfectly sized. The chicken ka Bob sandwich was tender and delicious with a pickle filling. Absolutely delicious! The shish kabob Bob was even better!!! The beef was bursting with flavor. Overall, I give this place 5 stars. They can be slightly pricey, but the good food and amazing service made them worth a revisit!! read more

Sarra Grill - Nice and clean interior. Music is playing but quiet enough for an easy conversation! - Mediterranean Near Me - Skokie, Illinois

Their lunch special is amazing and good value. The workers here are very nice. Located right across from Taco Bell. Street parking only but it's okay. Definitely recommend along with their garlic sauce. So good! read more

The shish kabob and chicken platter are delish. 2nd time to order and they consistently delivered to my expectations!

The place was easy to locate & had parking. Dining hall is spacious, clean and neat. Service efficient. Middle eastern food was kind of good, left some addition "zing" to be desired. read more

I absolutely love this place, this entree specifically hits every time. The kabob is juicy and flavorful and pairs perfectly with the rice, onions and sumac. You can ask for some chili sauce on the side if you like it spicy. It's a big portion too so you'll likely have leftovers! And it comes with a complimentary salad and pita too. Honestly for the price it's a steal. The lady that runs this place is a delight, she's super friendly and sometimes even a little generous if you're nice. Nice place to sit if you want to bring family too. Highly recommend supporting this small business! P.S. there's free parking in the back. read more

Sarra Grill - Shish Kabob - Mediterranean Near Me - Skokie, Illinois

I read the reviews on this place and I totally agree that the food is delicious. I got the combination 1 with the shish kabob, tikka and chicken. You can get either rice or couscous and I went with the rice. That was good but next time I'm going to go with the couscous. The beef was the most tender of the three. Yum! The flavor was mild and could have been more spices but it was good nevertheless. We also ordered the Falafel and Baba Ghanoush. The falafel were fresh and crispy and different from the standard green chick peas that I usual eat. A very pleasant surprise! The baba ghanoush was also good! Yum! The service was great. The only minor disappointment was there was no ice water. They did have bottled water for a fee and we got the last 2 cold bottles. A nice place that I would go again. read more

It is our first time in the restaurant and the server was so friendly and very accommodating. It is a Syrian Mediterranean restaurant, the food serving size is big and I had the combi platter, it was okay but not great. The rice could be improved, I have a Syrian father in law and it is far from what I have tasted. The dining area is clean. Overall, it was a good place. read more

A hole in the wall kind of place. Expect great food and huge portions with lotta veggie options. I ordered couscous with chicken kebabs and falafel plate for my wife. The food was out of the world truly authentic. I was surprised by the huge portions, and since I was hungry, they were perfect. We were there for an hour, and the Lady was serving us was pretty sweet. She was able to communicate good and was able to recommend options which was perfect. I have gone there twice already even after I had to drive 50 minutes to an hour each way. Restrooms were clean and plenty of street parking available which helped. The food was served in 10 minutes or so which was nice. read more

Feeling something healthy tonight so I ordered the veggie bundle! I walked in 45 mins before close & didn't want to be any trouble, but the employees did not make me feel that way at all.

Sarra Grill - Combination 2; veggie platter - Mediterranean Near Me - Skokie, Illinois

I live quite near this neighborhood restaurant, which I've seen go through different owners and cuisines. Finally, I have a reason to enter. Sarra Grill has excellent food at terrific prices. The baba ganoush is among the best I've ever hand, and I'm picky. The rice and meats are well cooked and well seasoned. Plenty of vegetarian options as well. The owners are very friendly and accommodating, and the space is comfortable for sit-in, though you can carry out as well. read more

We left FULL and completely satisfied. Highly recommended! We had the grilled catfish and the shishkabob plates. 10/10 we will be coming back! read more

Food is always delicious, both for takeout and eat-in. Huge portions and very reasonably priced. Best chicken kabob I've had at any of the other Middle Eastern restaurants that dot Skokie. Restaurant is clean, casual and comfortable. Service could not be better plus the server/cashier is friendly and works really hard. It's a family owned and run and a great addition to Skokie! read more

Seriously amazing Mediterranean food. I just for the combo platter and it was so much food. I'm trying to think of a better Mediterranean place and none come to mind. Apparently the grilled catfish is the best. I will be back. read more

Casual and pleasant atmosphere, freshly prepared food, attentive server. Favorites were the lentil soup and the couscous. Grilled fish is tasty, just be aware it takes work to separate it from the bones and skin. read more

Nice little joint, feels family run, nice and clean, and delicious food. I got the combination plate with chicken, shish kebob, tikka (beef), rice, salad, and a lentil soup. All of the meat was tender and delicious. The lentil soup was excellently spiced! I've tried many places in the area and I think this is the best lentil soup I've had in Skokie. The service was excellent, very personable and helpful. read more

Everything there is fresh and authentic. I love the hummus and Tabouli salad. Fish is amazing!

This is one of the many arab/mediterranean spots in the area and although the food here is perfectly decent, it didn't convince me to stop going to Pita Inn which is only one block away. read more

Everything we had - from the falafel, to the hot pita bread, to the salad, to the combination platter was just fabulous! If we lived local we would eat here daily! read more

We stopped by in hunger before a wedding ceremony for lunch and didn't have much time. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. They gave us soup which was light and tasty.

BOMB MEDITERRANEAN FOOD @sarragrill1 in SKOKIE, IL Sarra grill baby. Got the veggie platter set and chicken kebab entree More on Instagram @midwestmunching Veggie platter came with baba ganoush, hummus, falafels and tablouleh. Really authentic and eggplants were chargrilled before blending together. Really smokey For the chicken kabobs we got couscous instead of rice. And omg I think they make it with chicken stock, it was super flavorful and fluffy. Chicken was done just right , grilled to perfection I really wanted the baklava but they ran out of it since we got there around 8:30pm The coolest part is the owners are super service oriented. They make sure they check on you and your food is done the way you like it. They have a family history in Syria, turkey, and Iraq, and both him and her sister grew up in Chicago. Such a sweet sibling pair that makes this restaurant even more awesom Have you been here? read more

I am a big fan of middle eastern food and I have tried almost every spot in the area. Sarra Grill is up there with some of the best food I have had. Not only was the food amazing but the service was as well. The server made us feel like we were at her home and like we were actual guests. All the food was great the fish was some of the best fish I have ever had. I can't believe I waited this long to try it out but I will definitely add this to my rotation. read more

My team and I came here after playing in a gaming tournament at a venue 5 minutes walk from here. We were a group of 7 people and they were able to accommodate all of us! We ordered Baba's special plus an extra combination plate. A couple of the guys also ordered sandwiches. The food was AMAZING! The meats were all cooked and flavored to perfection. My favorite had to have been the shish kabob! So much flavor in the food. Five of us shared the Baba's Special and we put a good dent in it. We had to split the combo plate in to go boxes. Also service was amazing! Mimi was so attentive. She cracked a few jokes with us and made us feel at home. It definitely felt like we were having dinner at her family's home with how cozy the atmosphere. Even the chef came out and checked on us. read more
