This is my third time here and each time has been memorable. This time blew me away. I had the lamb with Okra with red sauce. It was made to perfection. Also the spicy feta spread was huge. Staff was wonderful and the outdoor seating was put together well even though it is next to the parking lot.
Amazing Greek food, truly a taste of Naxos in the Chicagoland area. I was so impressed! Service was excellent and all of the dishes were authentic, carefully prepared, and absolutely delicious! I felt like I was back in Naxos eating the delicious calamari, octopus, and fresh fish.. the authentic Greek desserts and freddo cappuccino were a perfect way to finish one of the best Greek meals I’ve had outside of Greece. Will definitely be back soon for an amazing, authentic, Greek culinary experience!
Excellent Greek food! Everything was delicious. The beets were sweet an d the potato/garlic sauce paired well. The Sea bass was cooked perfectly and there are really good Greek wines to go with the food. Highly recommend.
No wait, very quiet atmosphere during lunch. We did the lunch special, plenty of food. Not pictured we had saganaki and the lemon soup. Delicious. Pictured Naxo chicken , 1 chicken 1 pork , 2 pork . The food felt like we were sent back to Greece . Our waiter George was very nice and you can tell everyone is family here. Easily one of the best Greek restaurants I been to.
Excellent Greek food, I was pleasantly surprised. Quite a number of authentic dishes both appetizers (hot and cold) as well as main dishes. Everything was prepared wonderfully for our party. The wait staff easily answered questions, were attentive, and service was quick. Between lamb, octopus, fresh fish, spanakopita, etc... big step up from gyros. And... they even have Ouzo.
If you want Greek cuisine... you can come here, although you won't be greeted with anything special. As for a Greek restaurant, the decor is poor, just like in every fast food. The waiter who served us gave the impression that he was in a hurry somewhere, which I don't like. Apart from that, the food is also not impressive. Poorly served and you can smell that it is reheated and in a bad way. So I was, I saw, I tried and that would be all about my visits here.
This is a authentic Greek restaurant. Very good good and service. Good priced as well.
Will definitely be back. We got the flaming saganaki, lamb kokkinisto, beef & chicken kabobs, fish soup, lemon soup, briam, and a couple Mythos Hellenic Lagers. Everything was amazing!
