Sinya Mediterranean

Name: Sinya Mediterranean
Address: 354 W Hubbard St, Chicago, IL, 60654, US
Price range: $$$$

Sinya Mediterranean is one of the best mediterranean restaurants in Chicago for dining, especially if you want a strong option in Chicago.

Editorial review updated•Jul 28, 2026

Three locations across Chicago — Albany Park, River North, Roscoe Village — in what appears to be a relatively short run since opening suggests Sinya Mediterranean is doing something right beyond luck. This is fast-casual Mediterranean done with enough conviction that at least one diner put it in the same breath as Michelin-starred rooms, which is either hyperbole or a genuine indictment of how much fine dining overcharges for hummus. The concept is tight: the menu orbits shawarma, falafel, and grilled chicken rather than trying to cover the whole Mediterranean basin, and that restraint tends to produce better food than menus that wander from Morocco to Greece without a compass. The three-location footprint also means the kitchen has had to systematize what works, which is usually good news for consistency. The anchor of the menu is the Signature 1/2 Chicken — roasted, served with rice, salad, hummus, pita, and what the restaurant calls its homemade Sinya Sauce. That last detail matters: a proprietary sauce signals that the kitchen has an actual point of view rather than just assembling components anyone could source. The Chicken Shawarma — available as a plate or wrap depending on your mood — is the other dish diners mention repeatedly, which tracks; shawarma is the dish that separates casual Mediterranean spots from serious ones. The Falafel Plate rounds out the core lineup for anyone going the vegetarian route. None of these are obscure, but that's not the point — the question is always execution, and the diner consensus here runs warm. The move is to get the Signature 1/2 Chicken if you're eating in — it's the dish that carries the kitchen's identity most completely, sauce and all. All three locations offer delivery and takeout if you're working from the River North or Roscoe Village orbit. Hours at Roscoe Village run Monday through Friday, 11am to 9pm, so plan lunch accordingly rather than banking on a late dinner.
