15 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Elgin

“I recently visited this Mediterranean spot, which shares its space with an American breakfast kitchen—a unique setup that works really well! Both cuisines are served in the same place, creating a diverse menu.

The Mediterranean food was fantastic—super authentic with generous portion sizes that left us completely satisfied. The flavors were rich, and everything tasted fresh.

My only feedback is that I wish they allowed substitutes on the menu. It would be nice to have a bit more flexibility with the dishes.

Overall, a great spot for anyone craving a mix of Mediterranean and American breakfast options. I’d definitely recommend it!“

“We ordered two beef shawarma wraps, 6 grape leaves (dolmas) and a small order of falafel. Everything was fantastic! Lovely staff. I foresee us being regulars.“

“I’m from Tucson and this was Authentic Mexican food; excellent meal promptly prepared to-go. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Lack of street signage makes it tough to find, but it is adjacent to the bp gas station. Well worth the search though.“

“We finally made it in after having this saved in my special places to try… and it was like the stars aligned! Stopped by for an early lunch. Incredibly sweet and friendly service. The hot tea was served in a beautiful tea pot with tiny glass cups. We had lentil and spinach soups, lots of flavor. Kebobs, falafel, shawarma all absolutely mouth watering. As a special treat two bites of baklava ❤️ Wonderful food and people.“

The variety of gyros they offered was quite interesting and very tasty.My daughter had a mexican gyros with jalapenos and tomatoes if you're looking for a spicy option.“

“I always enjoy visiting Chubby's Gyros, where exceptional service and a charming atmosphere are paired with outstanding cuisine. On my latest visit, I had a craving for their mouthwatering Chicken Crossett, while my partner opted for the Gyros. We left feeling extremely satisfied - to say the least - as we were both thoroughly full and content. Chubby's Gyros truly knows how to deliver a satisfying experience. Their excellence earns them a well-deserved 5 stars. ?“
