We were in the area and I was craving some shawarma and stumbled upon this little gem. My partner got the gyro plate and we agreed we could've shared that together! Portions were huge. Rice was super flavorful as was the gyro meat. We both agreed this dish was the star! The pita bread was fluffy but crispy at the same time. I got the Mediterranean chicken shawarma salad and it was flavorful! The chicken itself was kind of dry but it tasted great. Salad was fresh and light. Excellent quality of ingredients. Got a baklava because it was staring me in the face; yummy but very honey forward. Not my favorite but not the worst, probably would just try something else next time. The restaurant itself was very simple, nothing to see except the menu and the kitchen. The service was great and it came out crazy quick. The cashier was personable and the kitchen staff seemed chill. Definitely a good spot to try! read more

Picked up our food to go. This restaurant was within walking distance of where we were staying. The restaurant was small inside but they had some tables outside. The person at the counter was very friendly and helpful. Since this was our first time 'dining' here we had a number of questions for him. He suggested we try their falafel- it was very good. Crunchy on the outside and quite compact inside. Also had the spinach pie aka as spanakopita. This one was disappointing. I would not recommend. The dough was not made with phyllo like it should but was just a flour dough. The filling had a bitter after taste. We also ordered the chicken kebab plate and the gyro plate. Both were flavorful. Came with hummus and pita bread. Unfortunately did not take any photos of the food -not sure why but I must have been distracted. I have had better Mediterranean meals. This one was just ok. read more

Cute casual place with counter service and lots of seating in a bright nicely decorated atmosphere to grab a coffee or a bite. Street parking is metered but limited. Close to Merchandise Mart and the trains, so pretty convenient location. Food was just ok ~ I got the beef shawarma wrap and my husband got a meat platter. Honestly the food was a bit bland and dry overall. I might return to try a coffee drink but not interested in coming back for the food. read more

Came across Sinya via DoorDash when craving Mediterranean! Portion size is definitely big enough to share or have leftovers for a couple of days. The meat was tender but wasn't as seasoned with the Mediterranean spices that makes it so very special. I would order again to see if it's a one-off experience. Will keep you posted... read more

The pita and hummus weren't as good as I remembered. The hummus flavor tasted different and kinda off this time. 5/10. The mixed entree had juicy meat, but both the meat and rice were missing the flavor I remembered. 7/10. The salted caramel tahini mocha mostly tasted like milk and barely had any espresso flavor. 3/10. The staff taking our order looked like they did not want to be there. 5/10 service. Vibes were still solid though, just a casual spot overall. 7/10. read more

Well packaged delivery. Fresh flavors and I appreciated the lemon wedges that were included in both the lentil soup and the tabouli. The tabouli was so delish! The falafel wrap was nice too as was the lentil soup read more

The food was great, service was good and they were very quick and efficient. The one thing I like about this place is that they use a very thin slicer to pull the gyros and you do not see a lot of places do that anymore. The thin gyros makes for such a nice wrap or sandwich. Please don't change that! The chicken is cooked nicely and has a little tartness to it which pairs nicely with the tahini and red sauce within the wrap. Overall, the place has great food at a great price and a great pick up spot if you're in the mood for some thinly sliced meats. read more

Wonderful, clean, quick, and such a great addition to Montrose. You go up to the counter to order and they'll bring it to your table. We were given some complimentary falafel which was delicious. The chicken shawarma wrap with waffle fries and mint lemonade are light and tasty. read more

Pretty solid middle eastern joint. The chicken was moist, the hummus is good with a healthy dap of olive oil on top. I think the salad could use a better dressing and I think the plate would greatly benefit from some kind of sauce accompaniment. Although, I am being a little nitpicky here. read more

Sinya Mediterranean Grill - Chicken Kebab Entrée - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Sinya is always great, we typically get takeout but they have a good seating area as well. Their schwarma wraps are all great, I recommend getting both tzatziki and the spicy sauce. One of our neighborhood favorites! read more

Food was delicious, meat was moist and tender, rice was seasoned very well and tasty, salad was fresh and seasoned. Humus was good along with the pita bread they provided. Lentil soup was very good, creamy and savory, unlike the watered down some places have. No wonder they have 5 stars on Yelp. I've bookmarked this place for the next time I'm back in the neighborhood. Delish! They cater too, a bonus option for future parties. They have a nice no frill outdoor shaded seating, and the service is excellent! read more

Tried their delivery this week and super impressed with the quality and flavor. Got the kabob combo with hummus and salad. Good value and tastes delicious! Husband got some other plates and he was equally impressed by the food here. We also tried the bakavla and it was delicious! A++! read more

Mediterranean is one of my parents & I's favorite cuisines, so we had to give this place a try! Food was absolutely amazing, the portions were great for the price, and the flavor was amazing. The hummus & pita is top notch, and the service was perfect. The cafe is in a great location, super relaxing inside and out and I can't wait until I get a chance to come back! read more

Sooooo good. I got the entree and it was heavy on the amount of meat. Such a good bang for your buck. read more

Sinya Mediterranean Grill - Mixed Shwarma platter. - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I'm always pleased with my meal at Sinya. The portions are quite larger. If you get a plate you're almost guaranteed to take a second meal worth of leftovers home. The ambiance is nice and has sophisticated coffee shop vibes. While the food is ordered at the counter, they bring it out to you on real plates and provide water at the tables. The lentil soup, hummus, and chicken kabob are all menu items I've tried and enjoyed! read more

Seriously so impressed with this place. I got the meal/platter and was pleasantly surprised by how much food I got. The quality was also top tier, and it came out hot and fast. I was able to get three meals out of this one order as the leftovers were plentiful. You can't beat the cost either. It's a really solid restaurant tucked away in the corner of River North. I would definitely go here more often if I lived closer but will definitely stop by anytime I'm on the area! read more

This place is excellent and is now one of my go-to spots when visiting Chicago. Food is delicious and prices are solid. I've gotten both the chicken shawarma wrap and the salad with chicken. Both were filling and hit the spot. Would absolutely get them again. Wish extra sauce wasn't extra as their hot sauce is delicious! read more

I decided to work from this café one day and it was a great spot to be productive. There was plenty of seating and charging ports available. They had free Wi-Fi and the noise was at a reasonable volume. They have a full breakfast menu in the morning, offering different coffee drinks and breakfast items. During lunch, you can order many classic Middle Eastern salads and sandwiches. I ordered the Fattoush salad and a side of pita bread. It was a huge portion and very delicious! read more

This is a cute place, came here for lunch on a Saturday. You order at the back table and then get the food dropped off at your table. Nice selection of food, good mix of vegetarian and meat options. I got the beef shawarma entree (came with a side of humus and salad). Overall good! Beef was a little dry. The humus is very good and flavorful, pita bread was nice and soft. The ambiance was nice, very simple and not that many tables/seats. Service was average. read more

Unfortunately we were too hungry so I have no photos but wow!!! What flavorful food and exceptional service here! We stopped by on Christmas while looking at lights and were welcomed into a cozy space with the friendliest of smiles! The mint lemonade is delicious as is the chicken and beef wrap! Pita was fresh and they even gave us some extras! You can smell the delicious food when you go in! Highly recommend this spot! read more

Solid delivery experience, would be happy to order again. Chicken Shawarma Wrap - 4.5/5. Star item. Flavorful chicken, just enough acid from pickle. Falafel plate - 3.5/5. Solid. Good hummus, decent pita, falafel and rice. Little side salad that was a tad overdressed. Lentil soup - 3.5/5. A tad over spiced but still good. read more

My boyfriend I love going to this place for authentic Mediterranean food! Our food is always cooked to order and made fresh everytime we visit. I always get the chicken kabob entree that comes with plenty of basmati rice, grilled chicken, grilled tomatos & onions, hummus, and salad. The pita bread is always so soft and is super delicious with the tasty hummus. Price and quality and quantity of food can't be beat here! read more

Sinya Mediterranean Grill - Outside - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've never been inside, only ordered delivery from this location but their food is always amazing. I'm obsessed with their falafel wraps. They're huge, less than $10, their falafel isn't overly dry and it's flavorful. What's not to love? My bf is also in love with a variety of their meat dishes so...highly, highly recommend. They're consistent which is hard to find. read more

Sinya Mediterranean Grill - Half of a Falafel Wrap - Mediterranean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We stopped here for a quick bite before a show at Beat Kitchen. We split a chicken shawarma plate and it was really delicious. Think sliced chicken, salad, hummus w/pita & French fries. Staff was friendly. Will definitely return. read more

Carry out packaging is very good compared to most other places odor carry out. The chicken kebab is decadent. The only things I would truly improve are the pitas, which are (terrible!!!) not soft enough or warm (big miss in a place like this), the beef on the salad was fatty and not fresh, the felafel was dried out,, and the salad dressing was too sour, akin to a store-bought flavor. The kebabs were made with chicken breast but the rest of the chicken dishes were made from breast and thighs, in case you prefer breast. read more

Best Mediterranean chicken and beef I've ever had. Rice is out of this world Large portions If they are open for Thanksgiving, I'm going to order from them instead of cooking. I'm sure the Pilgrims would have liked it too. read more

We got a falafel wrap, chicken shawarma wrap, and mango juice. Fast service. Good for a quick bite. The bathroom is pretty fancy too. read more

This place sacrifices zero quality to make Greek food super convenient and affordable. It feels like ordering from a fast casual restaurant but you get flavorful, authentic food every time. read more

I order their lamb / beef shawarma whenever I am working in the area. The food has ALWAYS been on point! The meat is super flavorful and not dry at all. I love it with the hummus and pickles, and with a little hot sauce.... delicious! I've also had their lentil soup, which was good. I would like to check them out for dinner, because they have some hefty looking plates from what I was scoping out while picking up my order. The interior is not too big, but you get a great view of the food prep area. The staff is always very nice, and quick to answer any questions. I've paid with cash, with card, and with E-pay via my phone without issue. I've only come in the afternoon, but I've never had an issue finding a parking spot to grab my order real fast. Once the weather warms up I'm going to bring my kids for food and to hit up the park down the street for a picnic. read more

Amazing food & such kind people! When my daughter ordered from the wrong location they went ahead & made it for her so we wouldn't have to run across town! read more

I have gotten take out from here many times and it is always excellent. Every item is fresh, well spiced, and tasty. Most recently I had the mixed swarma plate which was delicious. It is easy to order online. Staff are nice. All positives. read more

Finally got a chance to try Sonya, and it didn't disappoint. They say they have curbside, but apparently not.... I could find any instructions for it so I threw caution to the wind, put on my flashers, and went in to pick up. Mint lemonade intrigued me even though I'm not a mint fan and it was worth it. Really good, very refreshing, glad they put no ice in it. The food was good though it won't surpass my favorite Mediterranean place. The lemonade though was my favorite thing. For the price I wouldn't make a special trip but I'd eat here again. read more

Welcoming customer service. The place is clean, and they have a patio. The rice was lightly seasoned. The hummus was a tad bit spicy but enjoyable. The Gyro wrap was decent. However, the chicken Shawarma wrap was the star of the meal. read more

Ordered this for takeout and might be our new fav med spot! I got the chicken shawarma plate with an extra chicken kabob. My husband got the shawarma wrap. His wrap was huge and very tasty! My platter was perfect - all the components hit: salad, rice, lots of meat. The kabob was also good. Often times they're dry but this was juicy. read more

I've been to a lot of places like this, and this is one of top picks. Delicious, generous helpings, and a super clean atmosphere. What they put in the combos make sense too- sometimes you have to order a bunch of extra sides to make it complete, but not here. Can't wait to have an excuse to go back! read more

On a cold, rainy Chicago day, everyone needs a neighborhood spot like Sinya! While perusing Doordash, Sinya quickly caught our eyes as a healthy option with great reviews. We decided on the Shawarma entree, Mediterranean Salad with Shawarma Chicken, and Baba Ghanoush. Everything arrived warm and well-packaged. We were so impressed by the quality and freshness of the dishes and ingredients! The Baba Ganoush was extremely flavorful with a full-bodied texture and satisfying eggplant bits. Both of the meats were exceptionally seasoned and tender, with very generous portions. I appreciated the variety of fresh produce in the salad, and the dressing tasted very homemade. I thought the pita was slightly bland with a "store-bought" flavor, but this is a very minor critique. It was still warm and a great medium for the spreads. Sinya surpassed expectations even with their great reviews- can't wait to try more of their menu! read more

Had the chicken shawarma wrap with lentil soup. It was delicious! I was hoping the wrap would spicier with a little more spice. The lentil soup was flavored wonderful and felt light compared to the wrap. read more
