Sinya Mediterranean

"Whether you’re Team Rice Bowl or Team Wrap, there’s no losing when either includes the excellent meat and vegetarian options at this small counter-service restaurant in Roscoe Village. Every piece shaved off of Sinya’s spinning shawarma and gyro spits is nicely charred and tender, while the pillowy falafel is fried to a shade of golden brown worthy of its own Crayola crayon. Though endlessly respawning Doordashers are a testament to Sinya’s take-out-order greatness, we’re big fans of grabbing one of the underutilized two tops and just digging in right there." - john ringor, adrian kane, veda kilaru

"Whether you’re Team Rice Bowl or Team Wrap, there’s no losing when either of them involves the excellent meat and vegetarian options at this small counter-service spot in Roscoe Village. Every piece shaved off of spinning shawarma and gyro spits is nicely charred and juicy, while grilled chicken and beef kabobs are seasoned to peppery perfection. The falafel is fluffy and fried to a shade of golden brown worthy of its own Pantone swatch, and their tabouli salads and silky hummus all have a zesty punch of herbs and lemon. Though endlessly respawning Doordashers are a testament to Sinya’s take-out-order greatness, we’re big fans of grabbing one of the five underutilized two tops and just digging in once our food shows up out of the kitchen." - John Ringor

"Sinya prides itself on using fresh ingredients, and the difference in quality is apparent. The falafel is an obvious and popular favorite, but just as delicious are the shawarma, kebabs, and traditional Mediterranean salads." - Brandon Summers-Miller
