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.“

“Greek Islands right on Halsted is an absolute Chicago classic for a huge dinner. We grabbed a table and ordered the flaming saganaki, a massive plate of moussaka, and those incredibly tender lamb chops. The waiters are always super energetic and bring the food out insanely fast. Easily the best Greek food in town.“

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.

“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.“

“First day in Chicago and after a long roadtrip we wanted to eat something familiar and as Greeks..Taxim was the first restaurant that popped near our renting area. The food was DELICIOUS.. authentic tastes, we got the Prassopita, haloumi , souvlakia and Kokoretsi pair with some greek FIX beers. The atmosphere on the terrace was beautiful, the smell of roasting meets made everything feel like you are in a cute restaurant somewhere in a village in Greece. Our server was very kind and knowledgeable. All the stuff was very polite and welcoming!“

“Returned for the first time since 1985! Owner established that they’ve been there since 1978. Didn’t recognize anything but just wanted to bring home a Gyros and I did. Highly recommend it. Pita was perfect. Was still warm when I got home. Huge sandwich with an incredible amount of gyros and an awesome tzatziki sauce. Fresh tomatoes and onions—my mouth is watering 5 hours later writing this review. They’re still going strong after almost 50 years cause they’re friendly, consistent and serve great food!“

“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.“

“Fabulous food , great service“

“food good to eat fast under 5 min“

“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.“

“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! :)“

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

“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!

“Stopped by tonight for the best Ribs in town. Excellent food Excellent prices. A must stop to eat….“

“Had the $5.00 gyros special very generous portion-friendly service-fast service-great sandwich
Will try other things on menu or other daily specials
No way is this a 1 or 2 star place.
You can spend more money at the McDonald's across the street and not get the quality and price.
Parking can be a problem but it's worth the hassle“

“I ordered the Greek Island Salad because I wanted tzatziki sauce, but I got some other salad with chicken breast and vinegarette. It was delicious!
I asked for some tzatziki sauce, they want $2 for idk how much, maybe a pint? I didn't get it.
I had just paid $20 for a salad and a coke and no tzatziki sauce.“

“It's August 23rd, 5:30. The closing staff on shift right now is crushing it! I didn't catch any names but the cashier helped us make the right choice with recommendations and the cook did not disappoint. As a regular, I know this place is good, but tonight stands out as top tier. Well done Pitaki, well done“
