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!
Gyros the best here. Moist and flavorful. I prefer the one here over Greek Island next door.
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 .
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.
Super cute restaurant with an outdoor area and garden . Service was very good.
Fried zucchini with skordalia , arni fourno, and bacalao are excellent!
Excellent authentic cuisine . I recommend the Lavraki if they have it and some galaktoboreko for dessert !
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.
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
BRAISED LAMB (braised lamb shank in tomato sauce , rice )
The boukakia is amazing ! Everything I ate was delicious.
Get the waiter w/biceps for days and triceps that don't quit...Oh, and the gyro plate .
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 !
Order the Skordalia from the cold appetizer menu. Nice alternative to hummus but the hummus is good too
The stuffed chicken was excellent!! (Stuffed with cheese and spinach ) im going back specifically for that dish!!
Be warned they don't have any beer on tap ! Shameful. Gorgeous patio though, definitely get a seat outside !
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
Great greek restaurant ! Tasty mousakas and delicious baklava
Everything is so good but try the lamb shank in red sauce and Lemon rice soup !
Share the combo platter and sit outdoors. Feel like you're on vacation.
Delicious greek dishes
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
Stick to the traditional small plates and enjoy the patio
Try chicken riganati, it is also gluten free !
Try the Lake Superior Whitefish . Broiled and beautiful
Lamb was amazing.
Gyros are a must!!
Gyros are excellent
Everything!
Get the Saganaki . Flamed cheese !!!!!!
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
Good food great ambiance
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.
You are around the corner from @jwillie swing by and say hi or see you on the patio !
Pasta is amazing.
Authentic Greek food
We enjoyed the Amethystos regional dry red wine .
Vegetarian moussaka .
Love the atmosphere but not the food..
Make sure to get the saganaki but eat it quickly as it gets too chewy if you let it sit!
Stuffed chicken breast .
Outside is nice food is great !
The outdoor patio is heavenly! Read more
Feta was good - try to sit outside Read more
You must try the saganacki.
i wish i went to a different greek restaurant down the street
Nice Patio !
Greek town bar/restaurant that you shouldn't miss. Food is consistent and menu has a great variety of items. Don't miss the grilled chicken salad, or souvalkia. Feta fries are to die for and will h - Cathy
Get the greek salad & spanikopita. So many yummy desserts and bakery items to choose from. - Glynnis Johnson
Fresh squeezed orange juice is the best as well as their Mimosa's and wine. Don't forget to try the hot bar! - Matt Wilkison
Great seats matter your seat. It's made for sports for 360° view so, concerts are great. - TT isTami
Sit at the bar, chat to the friendly staff, have some free popcorn and watch the game! - Jenny O'Connell
