43 Best Greek Restaurants near Cicero

“ordered a hot dog with everything thinking they would give me a Chicago dog instead I got relish onion pickle and mustard. needless to say it was awful. the beef was a little better but the bread stale.“

“I have gone to Andros Taverna for many years now where I am never disappointed and always impressed with the service, the quality of food and ingredients, the atmosphere and the passion in general. Chef Doug Psaltis is a true expert and artist performing at the highest levels. The gyros are the best, best gyros in Chicago by far, the seafood world class, the homemade bread and pita are incredible. The foods and meats are cooked over wood fire, wood fire grilled. We had our daughters baptism catered from here which was excellent assortment of Greek food - this is a Greek restaurant you will go to for many years to come.“

“What a welcomed addition to the neighborhood, small yet intimate. Fabulous food complete w/a fabulous, thoughtful staff - very attentive, always smiling!! My new go to place for authentic Greek food, aroma of fresh coffee, and exquisite orange pie. Not to be missed!!“

“We were looking for a late night bite to eat while visiting Chicago and Serena’s was the spot! Service was friendly and food was delicious! Highly recommend. Will definitely be back for our next visit.“

“The food has been consistently delicious over the years. The ambiance is soft and welcoming. Our waiter was nice, but seemed a little distracted. He was prompt with our service, so no complaints with that. I think I prefer the Chicago location over the Lombard, but the food is the same both places.
We had reservations, and I'm glad we did, because the place filled up quickly once we got there.“

“One of the best local restaurants 🔥🔥“

“Such a good meal for lunch today! Portion sizes were great, our waitress was wonderful, & the food was soooo yummy!! 😋 We will definitely be back!“

“Amazing food - relaxed atmosphere“

“I really enjoy Mediterranean food and this dish not disappoint. The trio of dips was super tasty and salmon and spinach salad good too and both were plenty to share between two for lunch and arrived to our table quickly. Pricing was reasonable too“

“Fabulous food , great service“

“I would absolutely have their food at least once a week if I could! And Vicky is a awesome person who makes me feel like family. Andersonville needs to support this place. It is the kind of place that MAKES a neighborhood.“

“Great food and Kosta and Donnie were both wonderful ❤️“

“This is an iconic Greektown bar and restaurant that has been serving the community and others for decades, along with their companion restaurant, Meli Cafe, the best breakfast/brunch/lunch spot around. Great food and drink and nothing beats a nice day when they open all the windows and let the fresh air in. Friendly staff and customers and wonderful owners. A true gem.“

“Best place to eat in Bridgeport! Hands down. Wonderful staff and owner.“

“The atmosphere was amazing and food was delicious. Our favorite was the smoked lamb ribs- super tender and flavorful. We also enjoyed the youvertsi, wood oven octopus, village salad, all the different spreads and of course desserts! You also must order a fish- I believe we had the lavraki but I don't think you can go wrong with any fish because they're all shipped in daily so it tastes very fresh.“

“Taverna 1821 provided an atmosphere truly comparable to being in Greece. It’s a beautifully decorated space with kind staff and great cooking to fill it. The drinks were unique and every dish had a wonderful twist to it, offering a distinctive meal! The desserts were outstanding as well, I can’t wait to see what the wine and dinner pairing has in store!“

“Always enjoy coming here for the great food & service! This time though, my one and only qualm, is about the lamb chops. The dish is only supposed to come with two (2) chops but when we received our order, we were given three (3) chops and told that since the first two were a bit underweight, the chef just added a third chop to our plate. Sounds nice, right? Not really. Because we got charged for the third chop even though we never asked for it! It's only $8 for that additional chop but please don't make it sound like you're doing us a favor when in reality, you did it to upcharge us and pad the 20% gratuity that's already included in the check. I'll be coming back because the food is just that good, but I'll be sure to only state that we only want 2 chops next time.“

“One of my all time favorite restaurants, 20+ years going strong, with Greek taverna classics. Can’t beat the outdoor patio in the summer, and great vibe indoors as well. Standouts include grilled octopus, kolokithakia, spaghetti, charbroiled chicken and perhaps the best lamb chops (pictured) I have had in the US.“

“It was a good portioned Gyro but the beef sandwich was disgusting to be honest“

“Absolutely outstanding! The food is extremely fresh and timing of the dishes during our visit was spot on. Our sever, Juan, took care to watch from afar and make sure our meal flowed. The busser was on his game as well! I don’t think my water ever fell below the halfway point. We enjoyed the Gyros ( a must try), prawns, mussels, potatoes, and saganaki. The portions were perfect. To be honest, we should have called it quits after the prawns but we couldn’t help our selves, it was just that good. Owner stopped by for a quick hello and welcome. He’s doing a fantastic job with this location and I do hope he continues to do well. Highly recommend Mana for both the food and ambiance.“

“Athena is a great mix of modern and authentic Greek! The waiter was super interactive and it was a cozy spot in a bitter cold night“

“I love Avli!! The locations I’ve been to, Winnetka and Avli Taverna, have a great philosophy, atmosphere and is intimate for couples, yet easily accommodates a family of 4 comfortably for a casual yet fine dining experience. The menu is thoughtful, including imported Greek oils, crafted unique Greek dishes masterly designed with every detail. Every desire the guest needs is addressed and executed. The plates are exquisite and the atmosphere is heavenly, magical! (No doubt, I imagine, and kudos to your VP and marketing genius Ian) I passed Avli on the Park New Year’s Eve and did take a video which I will gladly post/share! The energy and vibe permeated outside to the guests in line waiting to enter to celebrate the New Year with Ian Vlahakis and the friends and family of Avli!

“very polite owners. great food and for the price, nice portion sizes. Definitely recommend. visited with wife and daughter after going to the zoo. we are from Dekalb and will be back.“

“I always have a great experience when ordering from here! I love the food, it's very tasty, the Gyro is one of my favorite, I wish I could eat it everyday! I truly appreciate the great customer service though, we don't see that much now a days and its refreshing talking and ordering from someone that is nice, and knows what they are doing! Thank you Little Greek Kitchen I will be ordering again soon! :)“

“They are so kind and understanding and very sufficient

Parking: It’s a lot of parking there like in a little small mall no problem

Kid-friendliness: Yes, it is

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, they had it there“

“A good Chicago burger, chicken and Gyros joint with many options for the entire family.“

“I've eaten at Pitaki several times both at a table and takeaway. It's so delicious. My favorite is the Greek Caesar salad. It's just light and flavorful, the chicken is cooked perfectly and has a ton of flavors. I get the Baklava sometimes and it's amazing. It has a chocolate drizzle that hits the sweet craving. The restaurant is clean and minimalist which I love. The staff is always friendly. I've been taken care of by Julian and Nia both were kind and attentive. Made sure I was happy with my order. Will continue to go“

“My fiancé and I have been a gyro war. I’m a Skokie Dengeos girl and he’s a diehard Squabs fan. While it’s hard to compete with childhood memories after trying Squabs I totally get it. The gyro was perfectly cooked, the tzatziki was beautiful, the fries were delicious. The absolute standout was the customer service. I was having such a bad day. I confused the gyro plate with the gyro dinner and they took such good care of me. I had cried the whole ride over and left with the biggest smile and a plate of leftovers. 10/10 I will be coming back every chance I get.“

“BEST GREEK SALADS ! I always order from here and I’m never disappointed! I’ve never had a better Greek salad than Mr. Zee’s. Their Greek salad dressing ….. I mean I wish I had a gallon of it at home so I can put it on everything. I think they should start selling it or maybe give me the recipe ?? Either way I’d be happy 😊 The spanakopita spinach pie and also amazing. I miss their rice pudding. I don’t think they make it anymore but regardless Mr Zees is amazing !!!! Thank you for your delicious food 😁“

“I can’t say enough good stuff about this place. My bf& I enjoyed some delicious bacon cheeseburgers last night. It was phenomenal. Fries were a little dry…. But not bad. Other than that, each time I have gone the staff is super friendly and the daily specials are great. It’s good to see a place that still has affordable burgers, pizza and hot dogs! Go check them out!“

“food good to eat fast under 5 min“

“I’ve been hitting up Greek Kitchen on Huron for a while now, and it’s my go-to spot for a quick, legit Greek fix. The chicken rotisserie plate is always on point, juicy, flavorful, and stacked high. I load it up with tzatziki, feta, and a side of their Greek fries that are crispy, cheesy, and totally addictive. The vibe is chill, the staff is friendly, and the portions are generous. Perfect for a solo lunch or a quick dinner. If you're in the Loop, don't sleep on this spot.“

“Always loved their Greek pastries, they are the best, started going to them 60 yrs ago with my mom and dad. We were always going to Hellas for our parties baptisms and weddings. All our holiday needs were easily available for us. Unfortunately, we moved out to Poplar Grove, Illinois near Belvedere and have missed them greatly. Always love them and it brings a tears to my eyes, that they are still around. God bless them. My parents knew the owners personally.“

“Awesome Italian Beef!! So glad I tired it.“

“My experience with machines, pizza and Guerrero and Elston a superb job.

Take me to all the restaurants that I have a wethey got a goodhospitality very good. Very superb job“

“This place is truly a hidden gem. Absolutely delicious food, great portion sizes and incredibly affordable. Owners and workers are super kind and hospitable. Can’t recommend enough.“

“This place is EXTRAORDINARY. Food is phenomenal, everything on the menu is delicious. Tàma team is wonderful and welcoming. In my opinion, the best seat in the house is the counter. You get the experience of watching the chefs make your lunch/dinner which is an experience in itself.“

“The best Greek takeout by far!! I always get the grilled chicken salad and the dressing is to die for! Just tried the Greek potatoes and they are unreal. Can’t recommend enough.

Three stars for service and atmosphere as I have only gotten takeout here.“

“The espresso drinks are the best in Evanston. My new favorite place to come and work remotely on a weekday morning.“

“Amy was so sweet :) Good vibes here.“

“great burgers 🍔, dogs and gyros“

“The food was to die for, large portions, delicious flavors. We will be returning!! This has been such a good way to start my Chicago experience. The customer service was also off the chain. Couldn't get enough of the guys here, so sweet and gave us their new smoothies to try!“
