Chicken Leg Special with extra leg, pita, and three sides of BBQ sauce!
Amazing!!!
Their Greek chicken is the best! Â I can eat this meal everyday! So worth price!
You can't go wrong with the Gyro's plate, the burgers are cool, and the jumbo dog is awesome!
They sell ice cream too!
This the best place to go before the movies or after, a lot of the places in the area are always packed, over priced and serve cold food.
You get to see some of the Skokie's/Niles' finest in here, grubbing during lunch. Â I thought their gyros were pretty solid (kind of salty, well-cooked, generous with the tzatziki sauce); they have a lot in your car, and it's right off of Niles Center Rd. Â The service is great, efficient, and a lot of people do carry-outs.
Review Source:This char restaurant has served the area for well over a decade and some change. Â I believe it's Greek owned and operated, for a time in Chicago much of the char types of restaurants were Greek owned and you could expect a quality from their burgers, gyros and more. Â I first tried them more than a decade ago, I had a gyro combo and haaated it. Â So I never returned. Â Years went by and about a year ago I went back to try it again. Â I kept hearing good reviews from locals that always spoke about their chicken. Â If you stop in during the afternoon lull when their employees take their lunches you can see that every plate has the chicken and rice. Â There are people that come in daily for this combo.
Anyway, since that first time last year I've been stopping by and giving them a bit of my business. Â Salads, chicken and rice and their fish sandwich combo which is just in time for lent. Â Their fish sandwich is mostly breading and a small amount of fish but the combo is served with a ton of fries and it feeds the hunger. Â The restaurant shares a parking lot with a body shop but ample parking is always available. Â If ordering delivery, there is a separate charge whether they travel a block or a few miles.
I had them cater a party for me. Â They were very easy to work with and Jim is a doll. Â He promised my food would be warm even thought the reastaurant is a good distance away. Â The food was warm when it arrived. Â He helped get everything in the kitchen for me. Â
It was a busy weekend for him so he delivered the meal himself. Â I tried to tip him but he wouldn't even take the money. Â
Everything was great and I have enough rice left over for the next decade. Â They really try to please and I'm happy to write this good review. Â I have never written a review before but they deserve a good one. Â
I also go there for lunch and dinner and the food is always good.
Went here with the fiance since it was close by. We both had the lemon chicken rice soup with rice pilaf, chicken legs, potatos(the special) and the portion was pretty good! The soup although not as creamy as I'd like, was still yummy, tangy and lemony filled with rice. However the blowing A/C made it go cold too fast! Bread was dry so I didn't touch it. The Grecian potatoes were excellent, melted in my mouth. Chicken was moist and tasty, but could have used more salt  and seasoning in my opinion. Rice pilaf was standard, nothing special. I would definitely drop by again, maybe to try the other food choices. If they amped up the rice and gave me fresh bread maybe I woulda boosted this to 4 as I am a sucker for chicken legs and thighs served Grecian style.
Review Source:This place is great! I work real close to it and I eat lunch there at least once a week. I would recommend:
Gyros
Chicken Leg Special
Burgers
Chili
Almost anything you can think of they have, and it is all delicious. If you go during lunchtime it is a good idea to call in ahead for pickup as it can get kind of busy inside
This place is fantastic and especially for the price! Â I've tried many things here and never been disappointed. Â When I get a salad (usually with grilled chicken!) it is always super fresh tasting. Â The chicken whether it's the special or the greek chicken is outstanding and the ribs are not too shabby either! Â I found the service to be quck and super friendly (I almost feel like they know me when I go in, the mark of a truly friendly place!). Â If you like rice pudding, try theirs it's great! Â My kids love the food so whenever I ask them where they want to eat it's always "West of..."!
Review Source:Ive been going here for the past 2 years since I work across the street. The staff is super friendly and gets to know you bay name. Its a nice place to go with family, not your average fast food place more like a diner. I like this place because Always see the same people and the owner each time I go.
Review Source:West of Edens is a great place to eat, especially if your going to the theater before or after at the Village Crossing, which is across the street. We order the Tilapia and have them eliminate the salt. It's delicious! I order mine with veggies and my husband gets the potatoes which are oven-baked and tasty. They have a cute outdoor seating area which is nice in the summer. They are also famous for their Greek-style chicken legs with rice, potatoes and French bread. Always great and reasonably priced. May be a fast food joint but certainly above the fast food tastes.
Review Source:Steady and consistent good food and quality service. Â Not sure how anyone could actually give this place a negative rating...that's strange to me. Â Try the rice pudding sometime. Â Also the half chicken is always great, and I prefer it with rice and fries. Â I love their homemade BBQ sauce too.
Review Source:My husband LOVES their 2 piece chicken dinner for $5 (total with tax)! Â Obviously comes with two dark piece thighs, wrapped up in aluminum foil and drizzed with chicken/lemon sauce. Â Also, with rice, potatoes, and bread. Â You can change out one of the sides for steam veggies for those wanting to reduce carb intake. Â Great deal for a quick take out dinner!
Review Source:I was in the mood for a an Italian beef sandwich so I  stopped in since I had a meeting with a client down the street. Big mistake. They serve the usually ready made rubbery kind that you will find in the majority of joints in the Chicagoland area.  Italian beef is a Chicago staple and I can't stand it when places  buy the pre-cooked product.  Fries where the usually frozen stuff. Even the giardiniera  had no flavor.  A message to the owners,  do not advertise fresh when you are offering a pre-cooked or a frozen product. Gordon Ramsey  would  have a field day with you guys.
Review Source:We stopped here for lunch today. I had an Italian been and Christopher had the chicken tenders. My beef was not bad, but his tenders were rather dry. I should have ordered something Greek, and will come back some day and give it another try.
I do like that they have healthy alternatives to the typical fast food fare, including a low carb selection and various salads. The prices are reasonable and the place was very clean.
Came here for lunch with my brother and father. They got the chicken platter while I got the chicken kabob special. It came with either a soup or a salad, I got soup. Now I have no idea what of soup it was but it wasn't good for my taste. For me I wasn't a big fan of the sour type after taste of the soup. But the chicken was delicious, onions were tasty and cooked well, green peppers were too strong for my liking but still pretty good.
It also came with potato, pita bread, and lemon rice. The lemon rice was very good. Â It was about 1pm and the restaurant was about 3/4 full. I would give this place a 3.5 out of 5 stars if possible.
I think this place is great and is really the only restaurant that serves fresh unprocessed food. Of course, Outback steakhouse is another option, but I'd much rather spend my money here at a family-owned place.
the entire menu is good, hummus, falafel and so on. My only critique is that they put too much parsley tabouli.But each region has their own taste, my father being from northern Lebanon.
The food is good, cheap and heart healthy. The atmosphere is a little sparse but this is not a suit and tie, valet parking silver utensil kind of place. It's good food man!
Enjoy.
A very decent mom-and-pop eatery. And of the 2 ___ of Edens restaurants(which have the same menu, and pretty much everything else), this one is tougher to locate, and is hidden, unlike East of Edens. Anyway, if you're trying to find this location, just go beyond the McDonald's at the corner of Niles Center Rd. and Touhy Ave., and its located in a strip mall off of Niles Center, on the left side of the street as you're heading north.
Anyway, as I used to work in a place in the Village Crossing Shopping Center, I'd occasionally eat here, as I grew tired of always going to Chipotle, or getting the chicken tenders from Jewel. Menu is pretty good here, as I loved the variety of things you could order on their menu. I almost always got the $5.25 chicken special, whenever I came here. The rice and potatoes that come here are especially a great plus, if you order that special here, as I loved those 2 things that came in the special.
Hope I can come back here one of these days, as I hadn't gone to either of the ____ of Edens locations in ages. The only negative about this location, is that I slightly prefer the ambiance of East of Edens, over West of Edens, as East is roomier, and the bigger of the 2 locations. Still though, this place is up there with other Village Crossing area fast-food spots, such as Dear Franks/U Dawg U.
