“So I can't remember which bowl I got because this was my very first time eating here. But it had a spicy chicken and a whole bunch of vegetables and was delicious. The salad dressing was a little bit watery, so that would be the only thing that I would change. But that's pretty minuscule.“

The restaurant itself is clean, modern, and comfortable—perfect for a casual lunch or dinner.

Wild Pita has that rare mix of quality, consistency, and warmth that keeps you coming back. It’s the kind of place where everything—from the food to the service—feels thoughtfully done. Without question, it deserves a full five stars.“

“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).“

“Went here on a field trip with two busses worth of people, and all went smooth. Although we're were served a different menu due to the field trip, the food was still great, service members were kind and attentive, and the area was clean and inviting. Owner was bright and fun, and the staff were each wonderfully selected people. Definitely will come back to try the Greek selection!“

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

“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 Chef Grill is a great spot if you’re looking for quality food served fast and fresh. Every dish I’ve tried has been flavorful and cooked to perfection. The ingredients taste fresh, and the portions are generous without overdoing it.

Chef Ibrahim stands out — he’s clearly experienced and very professional.

Service is another big plus here. The staff is quick, polite, and the place is always very clean — something I really appreciate. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout, you’ll likely have a smooth experience from start to finish.
Special thanks to Zuleyha, and Emre for their special efforts in giving us the best experience here every time.
Definitely worth visiting if you care about good food and solid service.“

“I used Chiggys catering last weekend for a birthday party and was very pleased with their service. Georgia was really wonderful to work with. Very detailed, thorough and good with follow up. The food was really well done and my guests were all very happy with the spread and were able to take some leftovers home 😊
Thank you Georgia and Chiggys!“

“Almost forgot about this when scrolling thru my photos. This past June was the first time trying this location, 2nd time overall and the previous was at the Schaumburg location.

I really like their menu here although to many it may be just another Chicago style/Greek fare restaurant. That's fine by me being I live for Chicago hotdogs, juicy burgers, Italian beef, gyros, fries, etc.

The food overall is really good here but the gyros are the bomb. We don't have any Brandy's locations up in Lake County (I live in Beach Park) but I sure wish we did!

If ever in the area again, I could definitely go for some tasty grub from Brandy's. Wish for continued boomin' business for decades to come for the owner(s).“

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

“Very good authentic food. The sweetest owner!“
