“The size was perfect for two people”
In your 50s, you think you've seen and experienced most things, but tonight at Sarra Grill proved I was wrong...a sit-down restaurant that DOES NOT PROVIDE COMPLIMENTARY WATER.

“Nice spot to get some Mediterranean food.”
Nice spot to get some Mediterranean food. I liked their lunch special since you could try a little bit of everything and there’s decent portion sizes as well. Everything was super flavorful and the meat was tender. You have to pay for bottled water if you want water since they don’t give water out.

“This has got to be one of the best little gems we have found in a loooong time.”
This has got to be one of the best little gems we have found in a loooong time. My coworkers and I wanted middle eastern food, but our usual place closed down. The reviews for Sarra Grill are outstanding, so we decided to roll the dice. Again, we went there around noon for lunch. We were able to park directly in front of the restaurant. We went in, and we were able to sit immediately because we were the only ones there (which I soon failed to understand why). They have a lunch special for $9.95 that is a platter with little bits of all of your favorites: hummus, baba ghanoush, falafel, chicken kebab, beef kabob, rice, etc. We all decided just to go with that to try everything at once. What an amazing deal! It was a great amount of food for the dollar value, and it was all absolutely delicious. Also worth noting, the staff is so incredibly nice and polite and wonderful! I have nothing bad to say about any of this restaurant. You can feel how much they care throughout your experience. This is probably going to be one of our regular spots, now!

“Pick up order and everything was delicious.”
Pick up order and everything was delicious! Chicken kebab and sautéed chicken - both were amazing, seasoned perfectly and felt healthy. Came with a small side salad per entree. So good!

“This place is such a gem.”
This place is such a gem. My favorite place to get Mediterranean food in the Chicagoland area (and yes, I’ve had avec, aba, halal bros, etc.). This place has family style cooking that feels healthy and whole. Great hospitality, and a fantastic lunch special. See photo! All this for just $10!!! And don’t think they’re skimping on quality just because of the amazing prices. Everything ingredient feels high quality, the baba ganoush in particular is to die for.

“The food was absolutely fantastic.”
The food was absolutely fantastic! We ordered hummus with pita, a fattoush salad, chicken kebab entree, and a shish kebab sandwich. The flavors were phenomenal and I could tell that the food was fresh and made in house. Our waitress Nadine was very friendly and attentive. Our food came out quick and in a timely manner. The prices are very very reasonable. So if you're a foodie, make sure to give this place a try.

“Sarra Grill was so good even the water was delectable.”
Sarra Grill was so good even the water was delectable. Nadine was SO nice and welcoming for our first time there. Our food was DELICIOUS, fresh, and the tikka beef in particular was cooked to perfection with a sear on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. Our portion was HUGE too, Nadine asked if I didn’t like my food but I just eat like a bird 😭 LOVE THIS LOCAL PLACE!!!

“So glad I found this place.”
So glad I found this place. Nadine was so friendly and attentive. The chef came out at one point and was talking with customers. There were only 3 of us that time of night but I overheard the other 2 table talking about how good their food was, also. I got the hummus appetizer and the combination #1 with 3 different meats on a bed of basmati rice. So dang good. The place was clean and cheerful and they had great music playing at just the right level. Yes, I started eating before I took the picture.lol
