50 Best Greek Restaurants near Lincolnwood

“Had lunch there today and I have to say this is the first time I was disappointed with the service. The food was excellent but that's it. Asked for 2nd drink and never got it. Water was never refilled until we were through eating. When first ordering our wine we had problems. I will continue to eat here and hopefully this is a one time occurrence.“

“the food here is simply amazing. I had a jumbo dog and onion rings and I swear that I have never eaten better. I'm definitely coming back to this place. if you're in the area I strongly suggest you try them out.“

“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.“

“I’ve been here a few times but today was the best experience yet.

Free valet is great, seated without a wait at 5:30 on a Saturday night was unexpected!

Food came out quickly. And was fantastic. The octopus and calamari were super tender and flavorful. The bread is really fresh.

Great stop on your way into the city.“

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

“love this restaurant & have been going here for over 20 years. Always great food & service except the bread. They changed the provider and bread is not as fresh, warm & tasty like it used to be.. this is the only thing which is not up to standards thank you for listening everything else is great.“

“Best place in town. Would love to visit it again ❤️“

“Solid Greek restaurant experience with friendly service and decent food. For apps we had the Greek salad which was nothing unique, Saganaki for which I would say the same, and octopus which was superb but more expensive than my entree. My entree was the baked chicken which was just average. The room was full and loud.
Though I enjoyed the experience of dining with good friends, there are other Greek restaurants in the vicinity with tastier food for less money. I will likely not return soon.“

“Delicious Food and awesome service !!! We have now been enjoying this Dengeos Location for 4 awesome years !!!

Kid-friendliness: There are highchairs and large tables to accommodate.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ample parking and ease of entrance.“

“It has the absolute best food! In the 30+ years we’ve been going for dinner, we’ve never had a bad meal! The Athenian chicken and kabobs are outstanding, along with the Greek fries. Maria, the owner is wonderful! And very accommodating! Definitely need to go here more often! A family favorite for sure!“

“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.“

“Fabulous food , great service“

“Wow1 This meat and grill business has the best kabobs! They also are generous to charities and very community spirited. Stop in. You will be happy you did!“

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

“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.“

“Christos D! Amazing! Hiloptes & Pastitsio was the best! Agatha.. send me some Hilopites to Iowa!“

“Stopped in here with my dad while we were in Skokie and can confirm my dad was obsessed with the French fries (he ate the whole basket by himself). We split a kebab meal and the chicken was tasty. The baklava was excellent, and the whole restaurant overall was very clean. I def want to go back to try more of their food!“

“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.“

“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 is always good here. staff is friendly and helpful“

“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“

“This restaurant continues to provide excellent food and drink. We visit every time we come into Chicago. The duck pita was succulent. The salad with the carob rusks was so delicious. Also we greatly enjoyed the prassopita which was delectable... a fine appetizer shared by two. I drank the Mountain Sun Semeli rose wine. So fresh and well balanced.“

“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 😁“

“Update: I've been coming here for like 20 years, cant remember the last time they've raised their prices. Their full slab of Baby Back Ribs has been $25 for ages, and it's as good as it's always been, fall off the bone tender right balance of sweet and salty, a little fat and their delicious glaze.

Portions are good, food is out in like 3-8 minutes, love coming here.“

“I just had the best gyro of my life at Gyro Guys! From the first bite, I knew I was in for something special. The gyro was completely full of meat and the meat was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. This gyro was a real nuke it was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. The pita was soft and fresh, and the tzatziki sauce was creamy and tangy, complementing the gyro perfectly. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner who is known as Chef Zuzu, he told me they recently opened up and seems like a great, honest, and hardworking business owner. If you’re looking for an amazing gyro, look no further. This place is fire!! AND THEY OFFERING BUY ONE GET ONE FREE SO I GOT 2 AMAZING GYROS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!!!!!! I’ll definitely be coming back I work in the area and recommend this place to everyone!!!!!“

“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! Laura Kennedy media market manager recruiter for Lincoln Park territory~chicagoland and north shore 847-477-6972 thank you so much God bless and happy new year! best to you in 2023, Laura Kennedy“

“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! :)“

“nice establishment nice food clean place..cash register lady Veronica very nice and polite...gyro sandwich was great only issue the pita bread needed to be on a grill just a lil longer it was fresh though...lots of meat on sandwich..“

“Found Tama Chicago on a restaurant guide. I'm glad we tried it, we enjoyed every dish we had. We had the empanadas which were freshly made, moist and delicious. We would eat those again all day. We had the mussels and that was really tasty as well. Love the saffron sauce it was cooked in. We would get those again. We also had the short rib and orzo and that was good. I would say the orzo was the star of the dish, it was really flavorful. The short rib itself didn't really have much flavor and didn't add much to the dish. We also had the burger and that was the superstar of the whole meal. Great quality meat, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. I would drive an hour for that burger. One of the best burgers in Chicago. We are definitely going back to Tama to try other dishes they had on the menu.“
