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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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 🔥🔥“

“Amazing food - relaxed atmosphere“

“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.“

“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!“

“Walker Bro's was closed so on a whim, I changed the cuisine to Greek and was recommended Taverna Naxos; a hop, skip and a jump away. Walked in blind to any expectations and immediately was stunned by the ambiance, esthetics and cleanliness of the restaurant! I was the only patron and confused if they were even open. Michael, assured me that they were and gave me carte blanche on seating. The chef personally handed me a plate of bread and hummus and the flavor profile knocked my world off balance! When the Tzatziki & Kedfeh (Greek meatballs) arrived, my world stopped spinning in orbit. Each ingredient tasted as if it was hand selected earlier in the day!

The bathrooms were immaculate. The menu & specials looked as if they had just been taken out for their maiden voyage! This has got to be a date night hot spot, if it's not, do it!

I'm curious if they bring the ruckus under pressure of a full house but by look of it, they mean serious Greek business! Thank you, Michael, Head Chef & Taverna Naxos staff for altering my mood with the experience!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“It is a simple, yet delicious Greek place that has been around for many years. Whether I am in the mood for a big gyro platter or just a simple falafel sandwich, I am never disappointed.
The kitchen can get busy after 3pm, so it's better to phone your order in if you are short on time.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“This was the best Greek food I’ve had in a while! I definitely recommend and will come back again!“

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

“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! :)“

“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! 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 thought I was picking up lunch for an elder I assist. It was for me! 🥰 Cheeseburger that tasted flame broiled and yum, non- greasy fries, delicious baklava. My favorite, friendly staff, clean place and the kind staff gave me ice cream while I waited. 🥰 Skokie location 😉“

“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'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“

“I'm right next door eat there a lot“

“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’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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“food good to eat fast under 5 min“

“Enjoyed our Gyros, Fries, and grilled chicken sandwich!! This place has old school charm and is clean!!! Ice cream is delish too!! Great prices!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Great food excellent service“

“The chicken kabob dinner is a must-try when really hungry, and the grilled chicken pita is a go-to for a quick meal!“
