“Discovered this place when I moved to hoffman estates in 2016 and I've enjoyed their food since then. Never had a problem or issue with their food. Great flavor, especially their Tawwa rice. Not a typical place to sit and eat since it's so small. Best to order take out.“

Incredible Lemon Chicken with delicious veggies. Yummy Baklava fresh crunchy. Would definitely make the drive out of my way to come back again.“

“Amazing experience! The service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and always with a smile. You can tell they genuinely care about customers.

The food was just as impressive—super fresh and full of flavor. I ordered two bowls: the Harissa Chopped Salad and the Mezze Protein Bowl, and both were absolutely delicious. Great balance of ingredients, well-seasoned, and very satisfying.

Definitely coming back. Highly recommend!“

“DELICIOUS!

Based on the name, I assumed this was a kebab fast food (hot dog serving) small, cramped, smoky 1930's Greek restaurant. To my surprise, it is a spacious, well-ventilated, well-lit 2030's sit-down restaurant with absolutely delicious chicken, chick-peas (hummus) and meat-based protein meals, with generous portions of elegantly-prepared rice, salads, nice pita bread, ancient Christian food treasures straddling the fence between south-eastern European and middle-eastern and Asia Minor national palates. Հայկական, Assyrian, Greek, Lebanese Arabic and Persian cuisine-lovers would love the flavors.

They are a great place to rent for graduation parties or baptisms.

I ordered a yogurt-based drink (Karoun, yum), hummus appetizer, French fries (crispy and good as is or with ketchup), then got a delicious chicken and ground meat kebab which came with rice, salad, and several delicious garlic-based and spicy sauces. An hour later I am still energetic and not at all in a food coma.

Great for lunch or dinner, a place to bring family who is visiting from out of town to sate their protein appetite.

I have to visit again to try other dishes and a bunch of salads.

Don't let the location fool you. It is n ot a small place.

This is a roomy place to visit for couples, a family, or a single man or woman looking for a 100% healthy meal that will nourish you for the whole day.

I went on a Sunday after Church and was the only one dining in. The service was nice and generous. The Karoun Yogurt Drink provided a protein boost which is good for the stomach. My family loved it.

One of the most memorable dining experiences, and a top restaurant for serving a hearty, generous meal that tastes better than anything I or you have had in a long while. Take some home to finish it later or get carry out.

Worth every penny. Impressive quality of every food item. Hummus was rich in healthy olive oil. Շատ համով.

5 star food.“

“Absolutely amazing experience, great food, and fun yet inviting atmosphere“

“My son recommended your restaurant to me, so I drove an hour to check it out! The staff was very friendly and the food was SO good! I ordered more food to bring home to my husband. We will definitely be back.“

“The food here is AMAZING! So much better than their competitors. I got the combo meal and everything tasted great. The staff is so warm and friendly. My new favorite place! Will be coming here often.“

“We always order beef and chicken shawarma because it's consistently good. Tonight , I wanted something like lamb biryani and so the staff recommended Mandi lamb versus mansaf. It's better than I expected- tender lamb meat, rice cooked just right, spices that won't overwhelm your taste buds; the soup , the spicy and white sauce complement the flavors so well . Love it! Definitely worth the trip.“

“wait time was very minimal. Many food options . Nice Social distance set up.“

“Cheese dog was literally a wrinkled hot dog drowned in nacho cheese sauce. The polish was on a French roll & difficult to bite into. I had it with all the toppings & it was only a few sliced of onions & a few green peppers slices. Not much toppings. I don't recommend those two. Other meals looked good though. Mine were just... disappointing.“

“Chiggy’s Gyros has been part of my life since they opened.. an amazing 29 years ago, and somehow it’s still just as good as I remember from day one. In a world where so many places change ownership, cut corners, or lose what made them special, Chiggy’s has stayed consistently amazing. The gyros are always fresh, flavorful, and piled high, the fries are perfect, and the service has always felt welcoming and genuine.

What really makes this place special is the memories tied to it. It’s become one of those comfort spots you keep coming back to through every stage of life. After nearly three decades of eating here, I can honestly say Chiggy’s isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a local institution. Grateful they’ve been serving the community all these years, and I hope they’re around for many more.“

“best gyros! fries changed over the years, they soak up too much oil.“

“We ordered Palak Paneer, Butter Chicken, Chicken Pakoda, and Butter Naan.

The food was delicious, with a great mix of Pakistani and Indian veg and non-veg dishes. The place was clean, and the staff was welcoming and friendly.

One suggestion: they take orders orally, which led to a mistake in our order. It would be better if they wrote orders down to avoid any confusion in the future.

Overall, a good experience with tasty food!“
