“I’ve been to Greece four different times, and I can tell you right now — Greek Islands gets as close to authentic Greek food as you can possibly get without boarding a flight to Athens.
The food was simply amazing. The chicken kebabs were perfectly seasoned, juicy, and grilled exactly the way they do it overseas. And the Mediterranean chicken with rice Wow. Full of flavor, tender, and seasoned in a way that instantly brings you back to a seaside taverna. Every bite tasted fresh no shortcuts here.
The calamari was so fresh, I could’ve sworn Poseidon brought the octopus in himself. Lightly breaded, perfectly fried, and incredibly tender — not rubbery at all. That’s how you know it’s the real deal.
The restaurant was super busy, and honestly, I could tell why. When a place is packed like that, it usually means one thing: they’re doing something right. The aesthetics of the restaurant are super cool too — it has that vibrant, warm Greek vibe that makes the whole experience feel authentic and lively.
If you’re craving real Greek food and want something that truly reminds you of the islands, this is the spot. I’ll definitely be back. 🇬🇷”
“So good. Delicious, tasty and all kinds of yummy. Everybody at the restaurant was so nice and generous. I highly recommend this place. We come to the area once a year from Canada and I think we’ll have to make this an annual dinner.”
“We were a fan of the fabulous food already. But when my husband and daughter planned a surprise Birthday party for me, we were VERY impressed. They said whenever they asked Ricardo for something the only thing they heard was: No problem! OR… Whatever you need! And ALL of our guests complimented the food and most took home doggie bags. If you need a party room and want to work with the most accommodating staff - give Ricardo a call. If I could give a 10 star rating - I would. I promise you won’t be disappointed!”

“First the food was actually really great. The Korean ribeye was what I’ve been missing being a California native that’s used to eating Polynesian and Asian food. Pizza, Spinach dip, and the Martinis was not the best but good fruit mixes. Despite a few mix ups my sisters and I enjoyed the place. BIG ovation to the manager on duty Monday evening that listened and addressed the issue promptly. The staff are very professional and I’m looking forward to another visit soon. Great job guys!!!”
“We had a great experience with our server Tammy. The food was great and the atmosphere was nice outside. We will be back. It’s the same owners who own Egg House. They are doing great things in Lombard. Keep it up. 👏”
“Went here for first time today with my family. Seth, owner/manager, was very hospitable, friendly, and gave details for any questions we may have had. He also was awesome and worked around my kids ARFID so she could get something to eat still, without getting half the meal and not eating it. def recommend.”

“Best ice cream ever!!!! I am an ice cream snob when I’m on vacation. I have to have it every day and I walked miles to that ice cream parlor this week the owner and the boy Jake that worked there was such awesome people too. I will definitely be back. I went tonight because I’m leaving in the morning sorted caramel chunk.!!!! you will not be disappointed”
“Two GREAT employees last night! First is Claude. Made a surprise rum drink from scratch and served it himself. Could not have asked for a better cocktail. Second is Andrew. Very thoughtful and was right there for everything with suggestions and service. They made for a very GREAT time.”
“I tried Vasco’s Peri Peri for lunch and was blown away by the Two Tenders Rice Bowl. Tons of flavor, generous portions, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. It’s hard to beat a fresh, hot meal like this for under $11. Perfect quick lunch option Monday through Friday!”

“I have never had a bad meal from Gnarly. I have been going here for a few months now and I'm just obsessed. Do yourself a favor and check out the specials. Their barista is a freaking genius when it comes to their specialty drinks. I would eat here everyday if I could. If you love soft pretzels gnarly is the place to be.”

“Amazing vegan options! They were able to do any dish pretty much with tofu instead of meat. Super flavorful and delicious! The fried rice without eggs was great too. Would highly recommend!
Our server, Connor, was truly one the best servers we've ever had in recent years. He was so positive about everything, extremely friendly, was well versed in veganism, checked in on us often and made wonderful suggestions! Truly amazing!!”

“I was on a soft diet for that diet and I thought of Olive Garden. I place a take out order because i had just left the hospital. I got there they was closed. I was willing to wait and i am glad i did. The food was great, Customer service meet my expectation. Branden was very friendly and professional. He is an asset to the company. I had not been to Olive Garden since you guys moved. I enjoyed my food. Hat off to the cooks. I will return very soon.”
“Wonderful atmosphere with beautiful holy music playing when I walked in. It immediately created a peaceful and welcoming vibe.
I ordered the Mughlai Chicken Korma with saffron rice and garlic naan. The flavor was incredible — delicious is honestly an understatement. The spices were perfectly balanced: rich, aromatic, and flavorful without being too hot. Everything tasted fresh and authentic.
The service was also excellent — friendly, attentive, and welcoming. This place feels like a real local treasure, and I will definitely be coming back again.”
“My go to are the tofu dishes (huge tofu pieces) but everything I've had is so good. If I'm craving BBQ pork fried rice, this is the place I'm choosing 🤤. The same two people always working there and are very nice. I mainly get take out and they're on top of dishing out speedy orders.”
“Thanks to Azzy & Alejandro for making our dinner so enjoyable. The food was delicious (I had the fish tacos & my husband had the pork chop) - service was excellent. The night before was busy & loud and Azzy saw us come in right away - seated us in a quieter space & brought us exactly what we needed - good food, a glass of wine & a Guinness from the tap. Perfect.
Also, during our 3 day stay at the hotel - every breakfast was delicious and served by such caring, nice people. Easier to get the day started with service like that.
We will be back for sure.”
“I stopped by the Sbarro at Yorktown Mall and had a great experience. The staff behind the counter were very friendly and welcoming, which really stood out. I ordered the baked ziti combo with a breadstick and a drink, and everything came out hot and fresh.
The baked ziti was hearty and comforting — loaded with pasta, plenty of melted cheese, and topped with a generous layer of sauce. It tasted just right for a quick mall meal, filling without being too heavy. The breadstick was the real surprise: baked golden with seasoning and a little crunch on the outside, but still soft and warm inside. Perfect for dipping into the ziti sauce.
The portion sizes were generous, the food came out quickly, and the seating area upstairs by the big windows was clean with a nice view out to the parking lot and trees. It made for a relaxed lunch break.
Overall, this Sbarro feels like a solid choice when you’re at Yorktown Mall — friendly people, tasty pasta, and fresh bread that hits the spot.”
“I’ve seen there place my whole life and never went till today. It was really good and had awesome staff. Sushi 10/10 will come again.”
“If you haven’t tried their pizza, shame on you! Chicago thin crust at its finest! I love their monthly pizza specials or just try a pepperoni. It doesn’t matter, but like Nike says, just do it…”

“Excellent service! I ordered a pizza for pick up. The pizza wasn’t quite ready for pick up, which I had no problem waiting for. But they told me how much of a valued customer I was, they offered my wife and I complementary sodas while we wait and threw a free 12in double dough pizza on top of what we ordered. Their pizza was fresh and hot and I absolutely recommend to order your food from them. I’ll be getting my pizza from here from now on.”
“There’s an abundance of vegan options.
Pictured is the vegan Mac and cheese, which was delicious. It’s a big portion, which 2 can share. I’ve also ordered the vegan quesadilla, but it was not grilled to my desired taste because I did not ask.
It’s a calm environment.”
“I took my two boys here for dinner and food was excellent!!! I felt that we got plenty of food for the price, especially when the boys got ice cream shakes. We wanted to try the funnel cake and they ended up not making us pay(which was around $15). They said it was on them, nothing wrong with it, they just wanted to do it for my boys. I haven’t had a place do this for me for a while, especially since times are hard for businesses these days. I would highly recommend this place.”
“Fave place ever! Love it there. Drinks are tasty, vibe is cool and staff is spot on!”

“Great food / gluten free options! 👍🏻”
“Love the nachos! Super yummy and a fun change up for lunch. The staff unfortunately created an uncomfortable dining experience with a lot of cussing and yelling coming from the kitchen. F’bombs about politics and covering shifts made for an unpleasant atmosphere. The lack of maintaining a professional environment or even a family friendly environment was lost today. Sounds like the staff needs a manager to be present. Take your nachos to go.”
“amazing place. delicious pizza. great service! Will be Back!”
“We hosted my daughters baby shower this past weekend at Rebel in Lombard and Jonny, Joe and his staff were wonderful!!! The food was excellent, everyone raved about the Bang Bang Cauliflower. Great time had by all!! Thank you for making our day extra special!!!”

“Came here for Valentine's Day and there was a little wait, can't blame them. We got in after waiting for just a little bit. Food was great, service great, and was a great time. We would definitely come back. Good thing we made reservations.”
“Both Richard and Shane in the bar area was great. Lots and lots of people there, but for the most part all drinks and orders were handled in a timely manner and the food was good. But the service was SPLENDID!!!”
“We had been looking for halal Korean food for a long time. It’s very hard to find in our city, so we drove 40 minutes to come here because it’s fully halal and our friends recommended it. They said the japchae is very good and similar to our traditional glass noodle salad.
They have a digital menu, so you can order by yourself. But we asked the waiter to take our order because we wanted one dish without salad.
Here’s what we ordered:
Japchae – 10/10
Very delicious, especially when it’s warm. It became our favorite. I would definitely come back just for this dish.
Chicken Katsu – 8/10
Crispy and thin chicken with white steamed rice. Very tasty.
Spicy Beef Soup – 10/10
The broth was clear and flavorful. No eggs and no tofu, which I liked. Very good.
Fried wings in honey & pineapple sauce – 8/10
The sauce was really good. Chicken was soft and tender. Maybe it would be even better if the sauce soaked more into the chicken.
Bubble tea (cheesecake) – 9/10
Not too sweet, which is nice. But the cheesecake flavor was not very strong.
About the service:
Honestly, we were confused about the 15% service charge. The waiter asked us to pay right away when we ordered — and the service charge was already included. This was before we even got our food and before any real service happened.
He only brought the food to the table. He didn’t refill water, didn’t check on us, didn’t ask if everything was okay, and didn’t ask if we needed anything else. No one came to our table during the meal.
We don’t mind tipping at all. We would have left $20–25 anyway. But adding the service charge automatically before actually serving us felt a little strange.
But the guy was very kind, but the service…
Overall, I still recommend this place. The food is really good, especially the japchae. We will come back for sure.”
“We had brunch at Shahi and it was a get together of almost 75 ladies. the quality of food , taste and service was out of this world. just the Chinese noodles were extra spicy but rest was 5/5. I love the decor, taste and hospitality since the owner Rahila Al Karim took over.”

“First time I went was tonight and it was magnifico. Excellent service not too busy and cozy. Great food. I will definitely get back and have another meal there really recommended.”
“A Wonderful employee, named Lynn, went beyond her job in kindness to help my elderly mom, who wasn't feeling well during her shopping time. Lynn found a place for my mom to sit down, asked if she could call someone, brought mom's cart to a checkout, bagged her groceries, got the payment from Mom, and helped her to her car!!!!! Now that is not only Service, but Kindness!!! Thankyou Lynn for helping my mom💗💗💗”
“very nice people. immaculate. modern decor. astonishing food. many dishes. extremely authentic. completely delicious. perfectly fresh. Everything made from scratch. highly, highly recommended!”
“ordered a deep dish pizza, not what we got. we called and they apologized & we were told we would get a discount next time we ordered. Called to order today and were offered the $2.00 off coupon I could have just used myself. I was not expecting a free pizza, maybe an extra buck or 2 over or above the coupon. WAS a regular customer but now extremely disappointed.”

“I went with a friend today for the first time. We were not sure at first entering because we saw no host. Then she came up after seating someone and took us to our table. We had Pat for a server. He was definitely the best I have ever had. Pat was outstanding as he took time to go over the emu and the point system with us. After receiving our food, Pat came back to check on us and make sure everything was okay. He thanked us for coming in. We definitely will be back and want Pat to serve us again!”
“Went to this Bakery for my grandsons Bday cake. He requested a strawberry cake. I had passed it so many times and I'm glad I finally stopped in. They had strawberry mousse!!! It was the best we ever had Agnes was a delight and they wrote his name on the cake. It was worth every penny!!! If you haven't stopped in yet, You Need To!!!!!”

“I took a good surprise by choosing to eat from Ghareeb Nawaz. The guy that helped me at the register was really kind and took the time to help me choose my food. And the best of all was the food, cooked to perfection, rice tasty. Accompanied with lamb and vegetables. A must-try of the region.”

“This was my first visit, and I will definitely be back. I stopped in to purchase cookies for my business clients, and Nawrus was incredibly welcoming and friendly. She gave great recommendations, shared the history of the store, and truly made me feel like she cared. You don’t experience that level of service at many places anymore. While I didn’t get the chance to taste the cookies myself, they looked delicious—and they absolutely wowed my clients!”
“I had this cake delivered. It was excellent, on time, box it came in felt so expensive and rich! I couldn’t wait to open the box! Cake was very light, mousse was not overly sweet, just right. The cake was the smallest one they have but it’s reasonable. 4 of us had a slice and there was still a small piece left over. I can’t wait to try more from this place!”
“Driving past and saw that this was opening I am assuming it is the karate boys from Canada. I tried it there a few weeks ago. I’m hoping just just as great here.
The only tip I would give the restaurant is the Naans weren’t that great they weren’t like true Naans and secondly, I think Canadian Indian food is second best in the world after England so no slight on the Indian food here but it’s nowhere near the standard. I am looking forward to trying this place eventually when it opens and read reviews are based on food, service, ambience and quality.”
