“We are on holidays here in Chicago from Australia and I searched up Balkan restaurants as I knew there is a big former Yugoslav community here. I am Bosnian myself so I thought we’d come here for lunch. The food was absolutely delicious and exactly like back in Sarajevo, Bosnia. It is a family run restaurant serving up the best Balkan dishes. The cevapi, pljeskavica and raznici were excellent, as was the chicken Soup. Thank you so much. Sve naj bolje vam zelim, I hvala vam opet!“

“Great customer service, and testy food 😋“

“Nov 30, 2025
I had their harissa chicken bowl with a skewer of salmon kabob on a side. It was alright, nothing extraordinary.
$19,48 - including tax. They are kinda stingy on protein, that amount of chicken was for kids size meal. That’s why I had to add salmon ($4 for 2 tinny pieces of salmon).“

“Food was outstanding as was the service! We definitely recommend it!“

“Had lunch there today and I have to say this is the first time I was disappointed with the service. The food was excellent but that's it. Asked for 2nd drink and never got it. Water was never refilled until we were through eating. When first ordering our wine we had problems. I will continue to eat here and hopefully this is a one time occurrence.“

“The mixed grill platters are on fire! I'm not usually a big fan of kebabs, but the kebabs from here are something special, definitely not to be missed. The restaurant is fantastic, with great people serving there. I love everything about it - the ambiance, the food, just everything! It's a really chill and quiet.“

“Stopped by tonight for the best Ribs in town. Excellent food Excellent prices. A must stop to eat….“

“we love everything there, food, service and atmosphere.“

“Zad by Pita Inn in Skokie, Illinois, offers a delightful four-star dive into Mediterranean cuisine with its fresh, flavorful dishes that blend authenticity and affordability, making it a go-to spot for quick yet satisfying meals in a casual setting. The steak shawarma wraps tender, spiced meat in warm pita with creamy hummus and crisp veggies that burst with Middle Eastern zest, while the lamb dishes impress with their juicy tenderness and aromatic spices, all served in generous portions that feel like a steal for the price. The clean, no-frills counter-service atmosphere hums with efficient staff who keep things moving smoothly, though occasional inconsistencies in seasoning or tougher cuts during busy rushes can slightly detract from the experience. Overall, it’s a reliable neighborhood gem for falafel lovers and shawarma enthusiasts alike, with gluten-friendly options adding to its appeal, even if it doesn’t quite reach the pinnacle of gourmet flair.“

“The food is delicious and the people are extremely friendly. I am a big fan and highly recommend there Eggplant Parmigiano, beet salad, curries, and Spaghetti marinara. But you can’t go wrong, food is top quality. They make my life easier after a long day at work. Oh, and one of the best brownies I have ever had!“

“Not the best single slice place in the area, maybe it depends on the time of day because mine were not crispy and had probably been sitting on the warmer for too long. The other food looks good so would maybe go back to try another item but the slices are meh.“

“Food, service and ambiance are perfect for a dinner out. Highly recommended!“

“Everything was fantastic. The jumbo shrimp ARE jumbo. The grilled appetizer was delicious. I highly recommend the dolmades and lamb chops.“

“Great selection, reasonable pricing, amazing customer service. Highly recommend.“

“I was craving a gyro and went in for the first time about a year ago. I've been back maybe 7 times since, and everything has been delicious and really consistent. The gyro is definitely the best around. I love the atmosphere too, you just can't replicate a truly vintage place. Paul, the owner is also so nice!“

“The food and the service are absolutely top-shelf…their Greek food is better than anything I’ve had all over Chicago.“
