| - With 4 1/2 stars I was excited about this place... Then we went inside. I'm trying to figure out where 3 1/2 of their stars came from. You walk in and this place has a "grimy" look and feel. But I've learned you can't judge the food by the restaurant's appearance. We ordered our food with a very uninterested cashier (who obviously has better things to do that don't involve us or our order). We ordered hummus, a chicken gyro, a Chicago burger, a drink and a side of rice... $26?! WTF mate?! Henywho, we'd ordered so we had some soup while we waited. I didn't get the hype, the soup tasted like it came out of a Campbell's can but it was free and we were hungry (Free-ish, at $26 for what we ordered I'm sure we paid for the soup). Ate our soups got our hummus and it was ok, not the best but at least the pita bread was warm. We managed to finish our soups and our hummus and still waited 15 minutes for our food! 15 MINUTES, for a total of almost half an hour at a place called Gyro "Express". The cashier/ waitress threw our food on the table and walked away. My husband's Chicago Greek burger was a decent burger, nothing special and his Greek fries we're the same, just French fries with a sprinkle of feta cheese and oregano (not the deliciousness I tasted at Pita Kitchen). My Greek chicken pita managed to be dry even though it was smothered in taziki sauce, a ridiculous amount of taziki, I used a napkin between every bite and it was so annoying I gave up on eating it. We ordered a side of rice for our 2 year old, it was bland and because someone got oregano happy, it tasted like pure oregano. So that's my experience, it was a waste of time, money and taste buds.
Never again.
