Great place to spend a Sunday lunch ! Food was very good and loved sitting outside! Gyro was very nice, grilled octopus too, and the cheese was Mind blowing!!!!! Sooooo good

Take in the scenic view and enjoy old-world bites like housemade pork sausages and lamb with artichokes in lemon sauce . Read more

Another Greek restaurant offering in Greektown. Delicious Greek food offerings (i.e. Octopus , Lamb , Pork ) with deep wine list & Mythos beer . Fun outdoor area seating during summer season. OPA!

Jenny P

Gyros the best here. Moist and flavorful. I prefer the one here over Greek Island next door.

Stephanie Bustillos

The waiters might take their time in approaching your table but one glance at the patrons (usually all Greek) and you realize the wait is worth for the authenticity .

Melaine Rubin

We went on a Saturday night when other places had a 1/2 hour wait. Saganaki was very thin and sitting in a puddle of oil. Chicken kabobs were lacking flavor but cooked perfect. Service was great.

Michelle S

Super cute restaurant with an outdoor area and garden . Service was very good.

Mark Hanley

Fried zucchini with skordalia , arni fourno, and bacalao are excellent!

Sofia Papastamelos

Excellent authentic cuisine . I recommend the Lavraki if they have it and some galaktoboreko for dessert !

Shannon H.

The newly designed patio area is wonderful. Now you can sit outside even when it's cool outside. Best fried calamari and spanakopita in Greektown.

Sanjay Gupta

The pork loin chops are large, wonderfully presented, and delicious. The location is great for a business lunch downtown with free valet , excellent service, and wonderful presentation of entrees. Read more

Get the waiter w/biceps for days and triceps that don't quit...Oh, and the gyro plate .

CoasterFusion

Make sure to eat here on a weekday as the lunch menu is cheap but there is a good portion of food. Also, if you get there on a weekday, make sure to get the stuffed chicken with feta and spinach !

Tom Manning

Order the Skordalia from the cold appetizer menu. Nice alternative to hummus but the hummus is good too

Randy High

The stuffed chicken was excellent!! (Stuffed with cheese and spinach ) im going back specifically for that dish!!

Lindsey Toth

Be warned they don't have any beer on tap ! Shameful. Gorgeous patio though, definitely get a seat outside !

Autumn Choi

Might be the last time I come here. Food is awesome but def overpriced and they charged $30 event fee for group of 12. unreasonable - we each had $40 fam style meals & ordered several bottles of wine .

Saganaki was invented in Chicago's Greektown. http://hub.aa.com/en/aw/chicago-greek-saganaki-flaming-cheese

Share the combo platter and sit outdoors. Feel like you're on vacation.

This open courtyard at this Greektown mainstay was renovated recently, adding a retractable roof over the 150-seat space, so that sudden sprinkles don't cause chaos. Read more

Walked in,was told 15 minutes, 55 minutes later still no table. Have no idea what their food is like abs I will never come back to find out. Pegasus siren the street is seating me now

Diego Reynoso

Good food great ambiance

jenny muller

TERRIBLE SERVICE. Go here only if you want to be ignored and not eat. We sat for 25 minutes watching waiters pretend not to see us before we finally walked out. Go down the street to Pegasus instead.

Jeff Willinger

You are around the corner from @jwillie swing by and say hi or see you on the patio !

Make sure to get the saganaki but eat it quickly as it gets too chewy if you let it sit!
