“Was looking for some place to eat and stumbled upon Skippers. This place is definitely good and when I saw they had some Mexican food too I got a little tempted. The tacos were amazing and the horchata is so good. Had some churros also good, also had a beef, chicken sandwich, and corn dog. Definitely coming back they have a little bit of everything and it isnt expensive at all.“

“The meat is delicious & the rice is the most falourful than any other place. Love the ambiance too.“

“I am one of the coaches for the Northern Michigan University Men’s Soccer team, and we recently had an amazing experience at this CAVA location in Des Plaines.

When our team is on the road, efficiency is extremely important, and we truly appreciate restaurants that are flexible and willing to work with large groups and unique team needs.

Marri, the GM and the entire staff provided exceptional service. We traveled with a group of 28 people and worked directly with Marri to coordinate a pre order for our team. We were able to send an Excel spreadsheet with everyone’s specific individual orders, and the staff had everything prepared, organized, and ready to go by the time we arrived to dine in. This made the entire process incredibly easy and efficient for our team.

On top of the outstanding service, the food was high quality, tasted great, and provided a top meal for our players the day before a game.

Marri and the entire CAVA team went above and beyond to accommodate our group, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. We are extremely grateful for their hospitality and professionalism and would highly recommend this location to everyone, especially large groups traveling through the area.

Thank you again to Marri and the entire staff for taking such great care of our team!“

“Where do I even begin? The pita? Perfect texture and taste. The cherry tomatoes? Obviously fresh, juicy, and sourced from a great farm. The romain? Plentiful and CRISP. The Dill and Taziki sauce? Also VERY fresh, has a citrus kick somewhere, and seems to be made fresh as well. Because it doesn't taste like a store bought sauce filled with preservatives. The hummus? That might actually be where the citrus is from. However, the hummus is not overly salty! You can actually taste the Chickpeas and they use good ingredients as well as olive oil for the hummus too! The chicken? Is in NO way shape or form dry and it's actually seasoned! It's juicy and normal is it overcooked. The olives? Brothers and sisters I HATE olives by themselves, rarely on certain foods. But these olives are not overpowering and stealing the flavor profile, it just adds more depth to the flavor bomb of the Greek chicken Pita! The feta? What could be bettah? Seriously though if you can see this picture you should've seen that they don't skip on the feta either. Again the flavor is ALL the way there but not overpowering. While the texture is almost creamy. Probably with assistance from the sauce but still, it's not overly dry! 10/10 Would recommend & I will be back! Now the facility was spotless, the cleanest "fast food" I've ever seen. The staff? Phenomenonal, personable, kind, attentive to details, and downright superstars that make that place run like clockwork! Wooooo wo weeeee wo!!! If you haven't been here then you've got to go!! Moderate prices, exceptional ingredients, lovely staff, and clean facilities(where the staff actually care like the NW Expressway location in OKC). I'm out, ty for listening to my Ted talk! 🫡“

“Great spot! Staff was very helpful in helping me choose what to get. I don’t eat beef- but the chicken noodles & lamb kabobs were great!

Super flavorful and clean. Noodles were definitely fresh and hand made. I’ll be back“

“It was my first time in the calming environment of Cava and the limitless options left me unsure of what to get. Teagan was able to patiently guide me to the perfect custom order and I was beyond satisfied with the results! Thanks again Teagan and the rest of the Cava staff. The food is to live for!“

“Very nice restaurant and delicious food For the first time there i am very thankful to our server Dilnaz and specially the girl Sky who explained and recommended what should I try and make sure everything was OK Thank you Thank you“

“Cava, I don’t typically leave comments online but I had a wonderful experience last week at your Kildeer location and want to commend you and your staff, especially Sammie. Good good can be found in other establishments (and Cava, I do enjoy your food!) but people are what sets apart good from great. I appreciate the patience Sammie showed while I placed my order and gently making recommendations.“

“Delicious food !! Great service.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem in Rosemont! Had a fantastic experience at CIMA in Rosemont! It’s rare to find a high-quality restaurant in the area, and even more surprising to find one inside a hotel that delivers this level of food, drinks, atmosphere, and service. Everything we ordered was delicious and beautifully presented both happy hour and dinner menu. The atmosphere was stylish, comfortable, and inviting. A special shoutout to Sendy, our server, who was friendly, attentive, and made our experience even better. The service was excellent from start to finish.“

“Best Mediterranean fast food I have ever had! Very good quality meat, always tender and marinated to perfection! My kid’s favorite restaurant and always a hit for our family party’s!“

“Бях втори път в Amante Bakery & Grill. Препоръчвам баклавата и баклавата с шоколад. отново ще дойда. БЛАГОДАРЯ .It was my second time at Amante Bakery & Grill. I recommend the baklava and the chocolate baklava. I will come again. THANK YOU. Neli Tzintzeva Encaustic art-Neil Tzintzeva ®️“

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

“Went out for a Wednesday dinner with my friend. We always wanted to to check it out when it was Meza . The front of restaurant has a small patio and on the other side they have a larger patio. It was raining so we didnt get to see that area. We started with a couple happy hour drinks . They are the wine by glass , beer on draft and well drinks are 50% off. We came here to try their octopus which was very good. Then we ordered a seafood salad and dinner was lamb chops. I was hoping that was a bit bigger but the flavor was great. We shared as we wanted to try more things . Cecilia was our server and did a great job.“

“Latin Mediterranean infused restaurant. Fresh ingredients. Unique recipes. Clean and spotless atmosphere. Wonderful Martinez Cup appetizers. Great Hangover soup. Incredible Lemon Chicken with delicious veggies. Yummy Baklava fresh crunchy. Would definitely make the drive out of my way to come back again.“

“The best food & Staff very yummy 😋“

“ordered a large order. they provided lots of sauce but forgot two main courses. instead of saying oh well and hanging up they went out of the way to bring us the items and a treat of baklava. this business has always been great and make all customers feel valued“

“Excellent food and ambiance, The brick chicken is my favorite. Our friends who have lived throughout the country said the pork chop is the best they ever had“

“Update: I’ve been going here for many years, with longer hours now and a remodeled and much larger dining area that looks and feels pleasant, they’ve really been doing a great job! Quality is consistent and always tastes great. Very fresh and lots of healthy options that taste great! Cannot recommend this place enough.

Amazing Middle Eastern food! Prices are amazing, food is fantastic, and overall the whole business has a very strong flow to it! Employees work very hard to serve costumers and help keep the place clean. Absolutely amazing!“

“We have a nice dinner the food was so good, and for sure we will back 💖💖“

“Cappadocia catered a 40 person party for us this past weekend and knocked it out of the park. The food was amazing - everyone raved about it - and the team was so easy and kind to work with. It’s clear how sincerely they care about their business and delivering high quality food and service. This is our new favorite spot in the area; I couldn’t recommend Cappadocia more!“

“I found this place completely by accident while searching on Google for a place to smoke hookah. I was truly impressed by the hospitality, the excellent service, and the delicious hookah.

I ordered tea and a hookah, but the waiter told me the tea would be complimentary. That kind and thoughtful gesture really touched me, and it made me decide to order some food to go as well.

Thank you so much for reminding me that there are still such genuinely kind and welcoming people in this world. ❤ I will definitely come back and not just once!“

“My first time eating lunch at Ema was outstanding. I was meeting a colleague and wasn’t sure what to expect because we had a lot of work to cover. The entire staff was very helpful, courteous and knowledgeable about the menu. We received wonderful service and had a very healthy lunch. The food was great and all our salads were fresh and delicious.“

“I love the Beef Swarma Entree when you substitute Hummus for the rice. The Cucumber and Tomato salad which comes with it is also excellent. You also get a piece of Pita Bread with the Entree. Also try their Baklava variety pack. Really great selection of different types of Baklava.“

“This restaurant is good and offers the most delicious and tasty food and fresh juices. I recommend it.“

“This place is clean with ample sitting room. Food is always good. They know what they are doing. You order and then you get the pager before you get the food. The menu has a lot of options. Because it's a large space, you almost never have to wait for sitting.“

“Amazing experience with Usuf who served us and attended us very friendly highly recommend“

“I recently tried the Chicken Chicago Shawarma at Krasa Craft Restaurant on Ashland Ave, and it completely blew me away. The chicken was juicy and perfectly seasoned, and the Ukrainian mayonnaise-based garlic sauce adds a rich, creamy flavor that makes this shawarma stand out from anything else in Chicago. The honey mustard, cheddar cheese, fresh tomatoes, pickles, and cabbage create the perfect balance of flavors and textures. Definitely one of the best shawarmas I’ve had!“

“Great Food and Friendly Staff“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Mizrahi humus, where have you been all my life? I just had the lucky opportunity to try you for the first time. And now I can never eat any other hummus. This is beyond my favorite. Cannot recommend it enough!“

“I tried Chigger's for the first time today and had the Polish Sausage sandwich with extra onions...the only way I think it should be eaten. The Polish was good, service was fast, typical run down hot dog joint atmosphere with typical red baskets. My only beef is that the carry out menu DOESN'T HAVE PRICES...SO WHAT GOOD IS THE MENU?!?“

“Deliciousness!! I’m new to the area and was looking for tasty Mediterranean food! This hit the spot! The portion size is huge, food is delicious, and lots of variety too!
They need an “open” sign in front because I almost left thinking they were closed.“

“Whatever you have a taste for, they have it here!! Service was fast and SO friendly!! Ordered 4 dinners, everything was prepared perfectly and put together for take out with such efficiency, and the portions are huge!! Everyone we encountered was so nice! We will be back for sure!“

“Very good authentic food. The sweetest owner!“

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