Cafe Illyria is a family-owned, old-school Greek-style diner that offers quality breakfast and lunch options at a fair price. This quaint restaurant, located near the hospital and government building, has a European vibe with comfortable seating both indoors and out. The menu features several non-meat options, and customers have praised breakfast dishes like the Albanian breakfast platter and the gyro breakfast sandwich as delicious choices to start the day. The ambience pays homage to Columbus, Albania, and Illyria, making it a hidden gem for those seeking a taste of home. Recent updates include a more readable menu and brightened decor, enhancing the overall dining experience. The cafe also provides friendly and fast service, contributing to its charm as a cute restaurant reminiscent of places in Chicago and NYC. While the food has been described as good, some customers suggest adding more authentic Albanian dishes to the menu. It is also a popular spot for lunch, with options including burgers, gyros, and salads, and a welcoming staff that makes every visit pleasant. The basement dining area adds character with displays of ancient Illyria, making it a cozy place to enjoy delicious, unpretentious food.
