5/5 stars
This place was highly recommended to me, so I made the journey to a place where no unmarried man has gone before: Suburbia.
It was well worth the journey. My go-to for casual Mediterranean has always been Chicago Gyros, but that Gyro King has been dethroned.
Maaake waaaay for Prinnnncee Ali* and Durum Grill.
I went at an odd hour (330pm on a Saturday), but I've heard that Durum has a line out the door during weekday lunch. So I was quite surprised about the nice size of the place.
And I was pleasantly surprised by the tastiness of the food.
It's not greasy like Chicago Gyros, which is the Five Guys of the Middle East.
I first had the Lamb Doner Kebab. If you've ever met me, you know that lamb gives me a (rhymes with doner). This doner was delectably delicious.
Then I treated myself to a Chop Chicken Salad, which should make other restaurants ashamed of themselves, they're doing it all wrong compared to this one.
The guys who work there are super friendly and eager to help, which makes it easy to make me smiley. Three thumbs up for customer service (counting one big toe).
In summary:
1) Get the Doner Kebab
2) Get another Doner Kebab
*Every Gyro review deserves at least one Aladdin reference
