Custom bowl: cauliflower rice, charred carrots, steak, shrimp, kale, cucumber, Taboula Salad, tzatziki, and spicy feta. Two side pitas.
Andy S.

Great concept, a lot of options to meet any dietary requirements. You can make a low carb, low calorie, low fat, high protein bowl... or the opposite. Steak and shrimp were great, loved the tzatziki and spicy feta. I don't live nearby but I'll make a point to come again.

fast-paced mediterranean with a wide range of options you can choose from. they offer create your own pitas, wraps, and bowls, which all range from $9-$15 each. You can also get a pita combo for $11.95 that comes with fries and a drink, which is a pretty good price. workers are quick to make your order, the restaurant style is a lot like cava/chipotle as you can choose whatever you want to add on. I got the gyro, which was insanely soft and tasty. the red onions and spicy feta are a must, and I loved the garlic sauce they have. would def come back to try other things. their portions are massive. they also have a lot of seating available. lot of people were in during lunchtime, so it seems like a popular office lunch place.

Really good in the neighborhood. The menu is just the right amount of choices and the offerings seem authentic. Very clean and well appointed. Plenty of space to stretch out and enjoy your meal. Some of the better Mediterranean and gyros I've had in Lakeview. Full of flavor with homemade tiziki and pita bread. great choices on side dishes like the fried potatoes are excellent and non greasy. Surprisingly good price points and an all around an excellent choice for lunch or dinner on Broadway in Lakeview.

Home-made Beef Gyros Sandwich
Tom G.

I've been here several times last year and always had a good experience. It appears that business has picked up since my last visit they hired two new people. They'll get you in and out in no time. I usually get a sandwich whether it be their daily specials or one of their hand-made beef gyros sandwiches with delicious ingredients and a can of pop runs $12.00 with tax. They are busy on the weekends, so you're best bet is to take the bus or Uber, as parking is nearly impossible.

Create Your Own Bowl (Mediterranean Chicken)
Anthony D.

Pretty good Mediterranean food on Broadway. We stopped by for a late lunch and ordered a Mediterranean Chicken Bowl and a Steak Bowl. You get several options for the base and the toppings with a pita on the side. The staff was super friendly and helped with recommendations for toppings and sauces. The place has plenty of seating and cold water in clay pots which was cool.

(Create Your Own Bowl) Spicy Rice, Potatoes, Sila's Chicken, Cucumbers, Onions, Chickpeas, Spicy Sauce, Garlic Sauce

I ordered takeout from here and got a bowl with spicy rice, Sila's chicken and several toppings. The chicken was really good- the flavor and texture were great. The sauces were also very good. The spicy sauce was just spicy enough that it was hot but didn't take away from the rest of the bowl. The pita (included with the bowl) was a nice touch. The service was solid. They were quick and willing to let me sample a few sauces before deciding on one. Even though I ordered takeout this time, I really like the restaurant. (I've dined in on several occasions). The Mediterranean decor provides a unique fast-casual dining experience. If you're not looking for a Michelin quality meal, but instead just want something quick and tasty, I can't recommend Sila's highly enough. PS- the Athletic Brew tall boy in my photo was purchased down the street, not from Sila's.

Food: The shawarma at Sila's is absolutely delicious! The chicken is super tender and flavorful. You can add as many topping as want to your wrap or bowl. You must add hummus and harissa sauce. It's the perfect combination of creamy and spice. If you decide to add rice to your wrap go with the spiced rice, it's earthy and pairs really well with any protein. I can't wait to come back. Service: Fast and friendly! Ambiance: I feel like I've been transferred to a happy sunflower field. It's just a delightful place to escape the gloomy days in Chicago.

Amazing, delicious, fresh, omg I'm obsessed. I live in west loop and I want to move to lake view just for Silas. We ordered chicken bowls with a base of white rice, potatoes, and carrots. 100/10. For sauces we had Silas sauce and the Garlic sauce. Also had a side of the creamiest hummus I've ever had. The portions are very generous. I can't wait to go back.

Good food. Nice service. Good selection of stuff too. I liked this place and will go back.

Silas Mediterranean Restraunt really is a sight to see. The inside of the restraunt really is like going back in time. The food was good since one can build a bowl of their choice! The only thing that I didn't like was the temperature of the inside of the shop.

Cute wall
Cas B.

Service was nice - they explained how the ordering works. The gyro was good and you can pick some sides and sauces. The inside of the restaurant is quite cute. If you're in the area, it's worth trying! Down one star because one of the workers went into the bathroom and was in there for a super long time. All the while they have their own employee bathroom. It was really annoying waiting to just wash my hands when the employee could have easily gone to their own employee bathroom.

Pita with falafel and lentil soup
K C.

Love how customizable the dishes are! Went with the pita and it did not disappoint! The pita was so fresh and delicious I'd go back just for plain ones to have at home. The pita was so stuffed I ended up taking the lentil soup home for later. Also tried the baklava (which is vegan). I love traditional baklava and while you def notice the missing honey, it was still very good! Can't believe it's taken me a year to try this place and I look forward to trying more off the menu.

Ema is special…read more It's Mediterranean with a California twist. Everything is very flavorful and each bite is memorable The pumpkin hummus was really good. It tasted almost like a pumpkin pie filling The bhel hummus was great too. With a ton of toppings. It has a citrusy flavor which was really pleasant The baba ghanoush was also incredible. Super smoky and flavorful. The pita that comes with the dips are also incredible. They've got zatar sprinkled on top The Greek salad was great. Tomatoes feta and olives with cucumber The halloumi kebab was really good. I was so full at this point I couldn't eat much but it comes with a really spicy sauce that is outstanding and also perfectly cooked basmati rice

The hot honey halloumi was easily the best dish of the night. It reminded me a lot of a nagasaki…read morebut with the added spice of the hot honey. Very complex flavors that's sweet, a little sour, creamy, and with a savory edge from the browning. We sat outside on a pleasant evening and it was a very nice patio. The wait staff were very attentive as well so no issues there. They went the extra mile of checking on food allergy issues for me multiple times. My main issue is that the appetizer - the halloumi - was the best dish. The brussels sprouts that came out were charred crisp on the outside and creamy on the insides - which is ideal - except that the flavor was very one-note. If you eat one, then every other one on the plate is pretty much just that again. The problem is that it lacked that feeling of "moreism" that you need if you're going to go with a very simple flavor profile. They tasted fine, but nothing about these made me want to just keep eating them. We also had the crispy mushrooms which likewise had a very similar issue of being one-note. This was notably better than the sprouts though because they came was a very tasty tzatziki sauce that saved the dish, but the sauce shouldn't be the star of a dish like this.

This place is beyond welcoming and such a refreshing spot to eat at. The food is delicious,…read morefilling, and so affordable. It's your typical kind of ambiance for a place like this--clean but not at all sterile. A welcome quiet spot in the chaos of Wicker. Aside from the delicious, comforting food, the service is incredible. It is rare to find spots like these nowadays and I sincerely hope the CAVA heads (don't get me wrong, I love CAVA!) try this out, too. We were accidentally charged for two orders of dolma when we ordered one, but I didn't realize. The person who took the order--wearing a propellor hat, by the way (hello whimsy!)--walked over to our table to let us know and asked if we'd like a refund and apologized. This already took me by surprise, so while I was fine without it, I said "sure." Next thing I know, they walk over with still two orders of dolma and the refund. I looked for a tip jar to put it back but couldn't find one. It was such an act of kindness and generosity. The kind of small interaction that reminds you of what being human is all about. Any time I'm in Wicker, I will try and stop at this place. Reminds me so much of Bulgaria and the "" I'd always beg for as a kid. 10/10 -- please support this independent restaurant!

Love this place for lunch! The lunch specials are great and the portions are huge!…read more This is a pretty good deal. You order at the counter and then sit down. Please know that if you pay with card you pay extra fee, which I didn't know. This is a pretty big portion so I did have leftovers. For one of our lunches we upgraded to the dill rice which wasn't as different from regular rice as I wanted. But when you add sumac it's perfect! This place is bright and airy.

When you walk in, you are brought to the dining room to your table but are instructed to order at the counter. The space is big with tons of tables. Vegetarian sampler: We got this to share. Comes with hummus, tahini sauce, falafel x2, persian salad, baba ghanoush, and dolma. Something nice to sample for the table. Everything tasted great. The falafel could've been more crispy. The platter also comes with a basket of pita bread! Combo mix grill #1: For my entree I got the mixed grill and chose both beef and lamb koubideh as my proteins. I really couldn't tell which meat was which since the meat is ground but both were super delicious otherwise. Great flavor. Got the half & half rice (basmati/dill) which is a great choice and I highly recommend. The platter also comes with red onion, a whole roasted tomato, and some butter. If you've been here before, you already know the portion sizes here are massive!!! So great for sharing!
