49 Best Greek Restaurants near Skokie

“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.“

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.“

“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.“

“Amazing food - relaxed atmosphere“

“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 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!“

“Great place to eat and excellent service .“

“One of the best Greek restaurants in the city! With a solid menu with plenty of options for vegetarians and meat eaters alike, I recommend Taxim for anyone new to Greek food or long-time lovers.

We split the tzatziki and pita, grape leaf wrapped shrimp, mushroom pastry, fried cauliflower, and roasted potatoes. Everything was a good sharing portion and nothing felt skimpy. The rooftop vibe was excellent on a summer night! Our waitress was great and made us delicious Hugo spritz even though we didn’t see them on the menu, she made it happen!

The fired cauliflower was fantastic and I recommend as a must! The phyllo dough pastry was my favorite and came with a side of mild goat cheese - yum! The potatoes were tender and cooked in lamb fat with pieces of juicy lamb included.“

“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.“

Ordered the Eggplant, Dolmades, Octopus, Branzino, and Soulvaki - it was all wonderfully prepared. Dessert was great too. Service was very attentive. Can’t wait to come back and try other dishes! Great restaurant!“

“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! :)“

“Amy was so sweet :) Good vibes here.“

“Great food. Very friendly staff“

“I'm right next door eat there a lot“

“My fiancé and I have been a gyro war. I’m a Skokie Dengeos girl and he’s a diehard Squabs fan. While it’s hard to compete with childhood memories after trying Squabs I totally get it. The gyro was perfectly cooked, the tzatziki was beautiful, the fries were delicious. The absolute standout was the customer service. I was having such a bad day. I confused the gyro plate with the gyro dinner and they took such good care of me. I had cried the whole ride over and left with the biggest smile and a plate of leftovers. 10/10 I will be coming back every chance I get.“

“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 had a gyros sandwich today, it was the Tuesday special. This sandwich was delicious, the meat was perfectly cooked (not dry or undercooked like I've gotten elsewhere) & the sandwich was properly assembled with the right proportion of tomatoes, red onions & Tzaziki sauce.

The crinkle cut fries were really good too.
Golden, crispy & delicious sprinkled with the perfect amount of salt.“

“We catered a business lunch from there. Food was delicious and well packaged. We’ll order from there again. #iraeats.“

“No better way to spend a summer afternoon than with a spritz and a friend in the Social18 patio. The Chicago hot dog or gourmet, and their waffle fries with cheese sauce do the stomach justice. Mark also gave great service with a smile and a side of humor.“

“My mother loves their Cajun salmon. Great soup and sandwiches“

“Great Food and the owners are Fantastic and friendly. Love the place.“

“está chingón el pollo.y el arroz .“

“I loved the perfectly sized, tasty lentil soup that came free with my Moroccan eggplant. The main made 2 servings for me. Our server, Kelly, was incredibly informative and helpful, going above and beyond to find out what we asked out of simple curiosity. My gf and I want to go again since everything looked so tasty, with many options for me as a vegetarian! Their black tea is housemade and delicious, and I don’t even like tea, but the herbal notes in it add great flavor!“

“Great service and great food.“

“I love these old school no nonsense simple and great food places that were all over since the 80s and 90s. Not many are left like this. Their grilled chicken, burgers, fries, chilli everything is so good. The prices have gone up a lot in the last 10 years and still more budget friendly than so many other places in the area. I go here 3 to 4 times a month. Great staff. Always friendly and fast.“

“Just went today!
