“Stopped by Mazmez Middle Eastern Grill for the first time and wasn’t expecting it to be this good.

Ordered a mixed grill plate and everything came out hot and fresh. The meat was tender with a nice char, and the portions were actually filling. The garlic sauce and hummus were on point.

What I liked most was how consistent everything felt — nothing rushed, nothing off. Staff were welcoming without being over the top.

This is one of those spots you end up adding to your regular rotation.“

“Usually a menu with everything on it is a sign a restaurant doesn't do anything well. However, BYG is an exception to that rule. They have something for everyone on their menu - from Greek gyros and Italian pastas to Buffalo wings and burgers - and all of it (which I have tried) is delicious! Great spot for a family dinner night when everyone is feeling something different.“

“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!“

“I got the combination plate, it was a lot of food and everything was 🔥 they also gave me a scoop of hummus to try which was also good“

“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).“

“once I stepped inside everybody started greeting me it was very lovely experience. I always thought that my mom had the best food, but after I tried their food it quickly became my favorite food/place to go. Really tasty, clean environment, and lovely people.“

“Fresh food and desserts Great service, definitely recommend it“

“Perfect place to eat a meal or host an event. We just hosted a bridal shower and could not be more pleased with the decor, the food and the service. The staff are very attentive, Definitely worth a visit“

“Good food and good service I hope keep the good luck and good jobs“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“This was our first time trying this place! Lamb wrap was superb! So moist and fabulous! Ground kabob was also tasty and a quart of lentil soup actually had pieces of vegetables, which was great! It's on the pricier side than your average middle eastern takeout place, but the food does not taste like your average middle eastern place either.. sooo much better! We also requested some modifications, which they actually did, so that was also pleasant. Girl on the phone was knowledgeable and immediately knew what awesome item to substitute for when they were out of one thing that we ordered. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

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

“Friendly staff, cozy ambiance, & great service.♥️“

“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!“

“PLACE WAS VERY CLEAN
ONE STAR OFF NO SLICES OF SUSAGE PIZZA ONLY IN A LARGER SIZE NOT GOOD.
THANK GOD FOR NO PIZZA MY SECOND CHOICE WAS THE CHICKEN AND RICE GYROS 🥙 BOWEL PICTURE WILL BE POSTED. THAT CHICKEN AND RICE GYROS WAS SO DAMN GOOD!!! 👍 THE CHICKEN WAS TENDER COOKED IN A HOT SPICY SEASONING AND DELICIOUS. THE SAUCE WHICH IS GIVEN GIVES THE MEAL A EVEN HOTTER KICK AND IT ALSO COMES WITH A CUCUMBER 🥒 SAUCE. SO THANKS FOR NOT HAVING ANY PIZZA I LIKE BECAUSE THIS CHOICE WAS A MUCH BETTER CHOICE.“

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

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

“Best food, very kind staff, all around great place!“

“excelente, todo el menú delicioso 😋 las bebidas. muy buen servicio“
