46 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.“

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.“

“Went tonight shared the platter that has all the meat. Absolutely wonderful very fresh very tasty. They make chicken as good as pork belly! Fries perfectly fried. Lovely place. Highly recommend. Very reasonably priced.“

“The food, drinks, and the vibe were fantastic. Service was outstanding. Maria F made the perfect recommendations and had the right amount of attentiveness even though the restaurant was packed. When I asked about allergy ingredients, she brought the person who made the food out to provide additional comfort. Thanks for an amazing experience Maria!“

“Had a hankering for some Greek food and wanted to do something outside of Greektown and boy, am I happy I did. The food is very authentic in the best way it feels like there’s a grandma in the back making all the food that just relocated from Greece to Chicago. something I didn’t really know was this is a very regional area of Greece that borders Turkey so there’s some unique flavor profiles that you don’t get at a standard Greek place which I really appreciated. We got the eggplant spread, which I’m usually not the biggest fan of eggplant and I really enjoyed it. It had some smokiness. It had some freshness from the balsamic vinaigrette and maybe like an herb, as well as a little punch of lemon very delicious. We also got the fried cauliflower that had a delicious whipped feta dip and The leak wrapped Filo dough pastry, which was very very good. As an entrée we got the duck gyro and it was some of the most unique yet delicious food I've had in awhile. Service was excellent. Also, you know you’re in for a good time when the menus are laminated yet the ambience is very curated. It feels like homey family run resturnat but by people care. i’ll definitely be coming back and be telling friends about this place.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We stopped in for lunch and enjoyed our visit, had our usual Greek favorites, tzatziki, spanakopita, calamari and small Greek salad. All dishes were very good with homemade vibe. We will definitely be back to try the main dishes for dinner. Nice ambience and great service.“

“Phenomenal meal! Panos was our server and he made us feel as if we were family members visiting his home. Food was seasoned perfectly with selections to make everyone happy. A great value for a tremendous meal and experience. Make your reservation now!“

“Very good for quick quality service. The portions are extremely abundant, you definitely won’t be hungry. I like how they specify on their menu which type of oil that is used. The gyros meat tends to be a bit too salty, but this is probably how it just is.“

“Fabulous food , great service“

“I’ve been to Taverna twice with very different experiences. The first time I tried to get takeout but they don’t really do that so I sat on the porch with my dog, had a beer, and waited for my food while they packaged it up. They messed up in the best way possible and the chef thought the food was for a staff member so he gave me like 8 Pitas instead of traditionally 4. Lamb and pita was amazing and was a big fan.

Fast forward to last Friday, I went with 2 other people to sit down. Every Friday at 6-9 I believe it is, they have a wonderful artist who sings at the restaurant. Very nice vibe and was a good start to the dinner. Unfortunately the experience went downhill from there. After she was done, they played what sounded like Avicii hype music which just didn’t really fit the vibe. It felt like being at a nice restaurant listening to music that is played at a club. I ordered the meatball soup and while it was being prepared, we smelled something burning in the kitchen. Once my soup was delivered, it was clear that the bread that comes with the soup was what was burnt. We ordered the chicken, the mushroom pasta, the lamb sandwich, and 8 pitas. Our food was delivered but without the pitas and we waited about 10 minutes before our server came back over and asked if we needed anything else. We asked about the pitas and the server clearly didn’t submit it. Took about 10 minutes or so to get them to our table and was not ideal since the person who ordered the chicken was planning on making a wrap with them.

Overall, I do think this place has potential. The food is truly good. The music artist was phenomenal and the venue is nice. Being served burnt bread, service being slow / forgetting orders, and the music choice just made it hard for me to make it a priority amongst the other food restaurants in the area. I hope they’re able to make these small changes so they can have more success in the neighborhood moving forward.“

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

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

“The food and the service are absolutely top-shelf…their Greek food is better than anything I’ve had all over Chicago.“

“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.“

“Great place to eat and excellent service .“

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

“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! :)“

“I'm right next door eat there a lot“

“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.“

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

“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!

“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!!“

“So I have been eating here for Years, and the food is fresh and well done, I normally get a pork souvlaki and saganaki and the Greek potatoes are amazing. The owners are dedicated and super nice and you can byob to the patio in the summer. To us it is a staple of 3 to 4 times a month, fresh food, very good seasonings and great tzatziki ,super fresh pita as well. It is better than more of the larger restaurants in Greektown and not greasy like many storefronts that do Gyros.“
