“The pistachios cheesecake is better than most other flan forward cheesecakes at competing middle eastern/Mediterranean cafes. I love the aesthetics and interior design of this restaurant.”
“I've always ordered delivery from Sinya, and it's become one of my go-to spots whenever I'm craving a good wrap. My regular order is usually the Falafel Wrap and the Chicken Wrap, and they've been consistently fresh, flavorful, and satisfying every single time. One thing I really appreciate is the consistency they've managed to maintain both the quality and taste across multiple orders, which isn't always easy with delivery. My only suggestion would be to include a little more dip with the wraps. They're so good that you end up wishing there was just a bit more to go around! Overall, a reliable place for delicious wraps, and I'll definitely keep ordering from here.”
“The lentil soup was delicious. Had the beef kabob plate and it was cooked perfectly. The hummus was very tasty, one of the best I've ever had”
“Absolutely love this place ! Stunning calm interior, delicious food . I’ve had hazelnut coffee with pistachio- perfection, balanced and not too sweet … Will be back for sure”
“Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. Everything was fresh and delicious. Definitely worth a visit! ✨”
“We literally decided to come back and visit Chicago just to visit Sinya (especially to get their cheesecakes & coffee omg! So good!) can’t wait to come back!”
“i got the chicken shawarma which was really good and i also got the falafel wrap which was AMAZING and very fairly priced”
“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. 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.”
