“Honey, let me tell you…this place is awesome! I absolutely enjoyed every minute of it. Me and my friend went in for brunch and everything was 10/10!!! Jesus was our server and he was so awesome! The food was great and the bottomless mimosas are so worth it!!!! I had French toast and i don’t like French toast usually but this one taste like a soft donut!!! The steak was great and i just really enjoyed this place. Can’t wait to try it in the summer time!”

“Great fast food restaurant for spicy chicken wraps and bowls made fresh. I ordered crispy chicken wrap and my friend got the peri peri bowl. Both items were made fresh on the spot which I appreciate because I have to other cafes where the chicken is premade and kept under a warmer. The chicken was well seasoned and juicy. Nice portions! I normally don’t like chicken breast but I really enjoyed the tenderness of the chicken here. They marinated it well. Place was very clean and typical of a fast food place. It’s a great place for quick bite or pickup.”

“Love going to this place. First of all because the staff is amazing as well as the food that they serve. The devils eggs are amazing, as are their trout and jambalaya dishes. The outside patio makes it all complete. Want to call out Daisy and Domenica who are always providing the best possible service. They are phenomenal hosts and true professionals at everything that they do.”

“We had a lovely dinner at Central Gyros this evening. Normally we get gyros or ribs to go (always delicious) but today we tried something different. We had a gyros wrap, gyros salad, hummus, Greek potatoes and DESSERT! Everything was perfect! Our waitress was the sweetest and very attentive!!!”

“Great experience…. The food was amazing. The sauce on the cheese ravioli was a bit runnier than I’m use to. But it had a great flavor. I would have expected a better choice of bread, but that was good as well. The prices can not be be beat for the quality and presentation. I highly recommend this place. Our server “D “ was extremely friendly and helpful. She was knowledgeable about the food and drinks. She helped me choose the right drink. We will make a point of coming back. Highly recommend this place.”

“I wanted to have a delicious and healthy lunch today. But I didn’t know where I should go. Then I saw bunch of people were eating outside of Roti. It looks so healthy but also yummy! So I gave it to try. Wow. I am so so satisfied. My dish was spicy steak bowl with kale, pickles, cabbages etc all the healthy stuffs. It was very tasty and deliciously seasoned perfectly prepared. One more thing I was quite surprised and appreciated… the staffs are so friendly kind with smile and one staff was even reorganizing the stools for the next customers. Delicious healthy food prepared by happy kind people and clean place. Two thumbs up!!”

“Good place to get a wine flight. Had some cocktails here and they were fine but nothing special. Service was adequate although could’ve been a little friendlier. Overall a place I would frequent again.”

2906 W Armitage Ave, Chicago, IL 60647, United States

“Order a PBM online takeout and specially mentioned it to be medium spicy. But the food I got was extremely spicy. Even though I am used to eating spicy food, I had to take a sip of water after every bite. I ate some food but had to throw the rest away because my mouth was burning. Do you guys even read instructions for an online order? I had also asked to get cutlery on the side but didn't get anything. Very disappointed, probably never again”

129 S Oak Park Ave, Oak Park, IL 60302, United States

“Cool little place. Glad I tried it for a quick lunch. Very cozy dining room. Service was good. Just a little over the top for what I was looking for. Had the chicken shawarma. It was tasty but not the freshest. All the sauces and pita were fantastic.”

443 E Illinois St, Chicago, IL 60611, United States

“For years I would go to the Lombard location all the time. That location closed, but I'm happy I finally made it to her Chicago location. The food is amazing as always and the location is gorgeous. I appreciate the wonderful flavors of the ingredients prepared and made fresh daily. Very reasonably priced for quality of food. Always hits the spot! Mmmm, I love Pinched.”

189 N Marion St, Oak Park, IL 60301, United States

“Wonderful evening. The entrees, especially the steaks, were excellent, and the ambiance is really cozy and welcoming. Our only disappointment was my wife’s mojito. She claimed afterwards that it was just water with some muddled mint. She thinks they forgot to add the rum - it was our anniversary and our daughters were with us and my wife didn’t want to make a fuss, so she just drank it and said nothing. My Old Fashioned was very good.”

“I am finally getting around to writing this review but honestly just go to the restaurant. The service is impeccable and the sommelier that we had absolutely made my fiancés birthday and our experience a 5 star Michelin experience. The food was insanely creative and so good we wanted to lick our plates. We will be scheduling our next visit because out of the several Michelin restaurants we have been to in the city, this one stands well above the crowd. I didn’t get a picture of the bbq course because the smell sent me into a frenzy and I ate all of it before I could take a picture. Thank you all for a wonderful experience.”

“I spontaneously dropped by after hearing so many great things about this restaurant. It was a quiet, relaxed Sunday and we were greeted by warm and attentive staff; super beautiful restaurant and I regret not taking any pictures of it. But in my defense I was distracted by the Loukoumades I ordered. I had the real deal in Greece and these were superb. They even came with honey (traditional), Nutella, and a few other sauces. The entire experience reminded me of my time there and needless to say I’ll return. Apparently it’s the place to be on Friday and Saturday nights in the West Loop so let’s see if it lives up to the hype.”

“I don't know if I can properly rave about this place. I had a little bit of time to kill after dropping some friends off at the airport, and before heading home, so I decided to seek out a burger place to hit up. I wish I could give credit to the website, but unfortunately I cannot remember it. Getting back to the restaurant... wow, the quality of the meat, and ingredients are top notch. The man(possibly the owner) was extremely friendly, and offered to make my second burger before I left, so it was as fresh as possible when heading out. I had the Oklahoma onion burger, and a bacon cheeseburger. I almost made the mistake of getting the Oklahoma burger to go, but the guy suggested getting that first considering the ingredients and the amount of onions on it. It was a good call. Give this place a shot, it'll be worth the time”

1946 N Leavitt St, Chicago, IL 60647, United States

“Had a large event - 45 people. Service was excellent and the food was outstanding. It was a tricky party- had people coming in and out. Staff did not complain at all and worked the room flawlessly. We will definitely be back!!”

“Really authentic Italian experience here. I loved the presence of veal on the menu. We got bottles of red wine, some appetizers and some entrees to split. The veal meatballs were really tasty and you can use the bread provided to dip into the sauce. The beef carpaccio was also great, as well as the mozzarella. Of the appetizers, the veal was the most tasty. For the entrees, we got a short rib ragu pasta and a veal au jus. Both of these hit the spot too. Meaty, flavorful, good quantity of food. We really enjoyed dining here too - surprisingly, it was not very busy for a Saturday night but I think it’s a bit underrated. If you want something authentic, you should check this place out.”

4400 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60640, United States

“Really good neighborhood restaurant. Everything we tried was delicious starting with Polenta as appetizer to their specialty pastas all the way to amaretto cake for dessert. Service is quick and friendly. Highly recommended if you are in this area of Chicago looking for a homy Italian restaurant.”

“The place stays true to the reviews. Great customer service! We had the truffle burger, chicken sandwich, and Mediterranean salad. The burger was on point with the hard sear and the chix sand hit all marks. The salad was huge and super fresh. Thanks guys”

“Atmosphere is the star of Alpana. The decor is gorgeous. The brunch menu is also diverse with many options. The winter fruit and arugula salad was delicious, however the short rib hash portion was small. For coffee, the restaurant cannot do drinks with steamed milk like lattes, cappuccinos etc. I would expect this for this caliber of restaurant. Likewise the service can be improved. Multiple times our table had to ask for beverage refills (water and coffee) and the server didn't tell us about the menu. Also it would be appreciated if allergen information was printed on the menu. On the plus side, cinnamon rolls are huge! Worth a visit especially as the place itself is beautiful.”
