“Love coming to Sinya when I visit Chicago.”
Love coming to Sinya when I visit Chicago. Lots of space for dining, clean, and staff are really nice. The food is fresh and flavorful. We got the spicy chicken shawarma wrap, and the mix platter. I’d recommend the shawarma wrap over the platter because it’s more flavorful.

This establishment offers exceptional Middle Eastern cuisine, with appetizers that are especially impressive and worth exploring. Taha’s customer service is outstanding—welcoming, attentive, and truly dedicated to hospitality. The atmosphere is excellent, the people are very kind, and the space itself is beautiful. The flavors and aromas create a memorable dining experience, making every visit feel like a culinary journey. I highly recommend this place, especially as a Middle Easterner myself. I look forward to returning for another delightful meal.

“Came here for an afternoon dessert and coffee.”
Came here for an afternoon dessert and coffee. I normally don’t get fancy drinks but decided to try it here. The place was really beautifully decorated. A variety of seating options made it feel welcoming. Lots of greenery and large windows for ample sunlight gave it an open and airy feel. I would come back here to try all of the fun middle eastern food options!

Wow. If you love Mediterranean food, you will love this little gateway. The food is fresh. The atmosphere is enjoyable. Get the falafel, very unique, crispy on outside and soft inside. Grilled kabob platter is delicious. A place you can repeatedly come back to.

“Worth every penny!!”
Worth every penny!!! It is ABSOLUTLY delicious!!! I had the chicken kabobs dinner and my husband had the mixed grill everything was cooked to perfection. Babaganoush was probably the best one I have ever had. We also ordered desserts and drinks we both had baklava latte and it was out of this world delicious. Don’t even think twice just give it a try.

Stopped by for a coffee and was pleasantly surprised by the space. The menu has extensive options for specialty lattes, and the classic latte was smooth and tasty as well. The space is airy and spacious with lots of seating areas, great for relaxing or getting some work done.

Love this new location in River North. Food is amazing like the Roscoe location. The space is well lit, airy, and spacious and great spot to grab a nice cup of coffee or matcha, and lunch! Highly recommend!

Wow this place really surprised me - I got the chicken shawarma salad and the portion and quality was superb. I added hummus to it and it was a perfect dressing to the salad. 10/10. If only they serve their egg wraps again for breakfast I’d have been back the next day!

“A correctly crafted cortado when Abby is in the building makes a visit to the River North location shine even brighter.”
A correctly crafted cortado when Abby is in the building makes a visit to the River North location shine even brighter. Thank you Abby! I Sinya at least once a week, at minimum. Absolute consistency with every visit. The staff, the quality, and all the natural light you can ask for. Their takeout makes for perfect picnic food as well. If you lentil soup, a must try. Oh, the hummus here is quite memorable! See you soon Sinya!

Craving Middle Eastern food? Chicago just got a much-needed gem—Sinya! This new spot is your go-to for the most flavorful bites in the city. From crispy falafel and rich, creamy hummus to pillowy pitas, juicy shawarma, and mouthwatering chicken kebabs—every dish hits the spot. Conveniently located by East Bank Club, so you can treat yourself and still hit your workout. Run, don’t walk! Tish was here
