Gyro dinner
Daniel S.

Old school Greek restaurant located in the heart of Lincoln Park on Webster. Definitely an old school vibe, and is cash only which figures. Limited menu to just the basics, but what they have is good. It's basically just gyros, chicken and pork kabobs, or chicken served whole, burgers, and a few other items. I got the gyro dinner, the meat was very good and juicy, and a good portion. There's not a whole lot of seating in the dining room, maybe not ideal for huge groups, though my group had 7, and were able to get seated for lunch but we got there right at 12. It's attached to a bar and they share a bathroom with them just FYI. Glad I got to check it out, my sister lives nearby and she'd recommended it for her husband's birthday. There's some street parking available, but they also do valet. Or the Fullerton L stop isn't far from it.

I love rotisserie/roasted chicken so much because it is the world's food. It is the same basic chicken, with all different cultures and regions of the world bringing their own unique twist to it. The Peruvians prepare it drastically different than the Chinese who prepare it drastically different than the French, and so on. It's beautiful if you really think about it. All this to say I was beyond excited when Athenian Room, a no frills cash only Greek restaurant, was the most recommended rotisserie chicken spot in Chicago. I couldn't even remember the last time I had a bird from a Greek spot, so I was ready to see what the Greeks had to bring to Chicken Wars. I walked into the dimly lit tavern-like ambiance and sheepishly asked "Table for 1..?" I got seated at a 4 top which I felt terrible about, but told the server I'd be quick. I ordered their iconic Chicken Kalamata ($16) - which is a boiled and grilled crisp-skinned half chicken over an ample amount of thick cut Greek fries drenched in olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, and lemon. I was slightly perturbed as I awaited my chicken, as this place was so mellow and calm that I knew filming myself dogging this chicken with my ring light would bring way too much attention. This is by FAR my least favorite part of the job. I'm a people pleaser by nature and I just know everyone in the restaurant hates me, which is totally fair and valid. I opted to not touch the bright ring light, and just use the flash on my phone. I didn't even want to do that, but the quality of the video is just 10x better with some sort of light. I wish I could just write and never have to film myself, but you gotta play the game to change the game. The Chicken Kalamata came, it looked like what I imagine a chicken would look like if that's what they gave you upon arrival into heaven. A tight, crispy, golden brown skin with visible seasoning over a bed of thick cut fries. Does it get any better? When you rip it apart, you can literally hear the crunch of the skin as it breaks and steam escapes into the atmosphere. I've never seen anything like it. It genuinely makes me wonder if it is flash fried or something. This turned out to be some of the best chicken skin, flavor, and dark meat I've had, but in a tale as old as time, the breast was pretty dry. Dipping it in the olive oil at the bottom of the plate solved that, but I always judge a bird without sauce or additions. It's still easily worth the $16 I paid and I'd recommend this to anyone when in Chicago, but a truly elite bird needs to have a tender breast. Fries were touched by Zeus though. Thick cut with a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior... some of the best fries I've had this year. As I was wrapping up, the sweet server came over and said "Are you like a food influencer or something!?" I looked down and shook my head in embarrassment, and gave her the spiel. The word "influencer" or "content creator" gives me the ick, even though it is exactly what I'm doing. It just sounds so self serving and yucky. I do truly enjoy writing, telling stories, editing videos, and highlighting good businesses. Anyways, shoutout to the Athenian Room. SOLID bird here, but even better vibes. I'll 100% be back when I'm in Chicago again. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

Side Greek salad
Tina L.

There's a reason why the half chicken dish is Tina Fey's fave. It's this Tina's fave now as well! The chicken came out perfectly crisp and tender. The oils n herbs it comes with is so flavorful - the fries soak up the juices very very nicely. I can't get over how good of a deal this is for $16 as well! You not only get a half chicken and fries but also a Greek salad and a baguette! The salad was very fresh (get the feta & an order of olives!) and the baguette was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Def enough food for 2 meals. This is unheard of for metro Chicago! The ambiance is warm & intimate - perfect for a date. Service was prompt as well. We were quoted a 20-min wait but probably only waited maybe 10 mins.

Pita
Solomon H.

YES YES YES! Hands down a phenomenal place! Amazing food amazing prices great little vibe inside! One note, it is cash only so just keep that in mind, but they do have an ATM!

Chicken Kabobs
Joneice B.

Found this gem on a whim. We parked nearby to eat somewhere else, but the smells coming from this building lured us in. We were able to a get a quaint table. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and this place made it fun. They sent over a bartender from the adjoining restaurant. We were able to order cocktails from them. Prices were reasonable and my Pinot Gris paired nice with my meal. For appetizers we got the Taramosalata. This referred to as Greek caviar. It definitely is not what we were expecting but we enjoyed it thoroughly. The Taramasalata is a creamy, salty Greek fish roe dip or spread with a whipped bread base. We ate this was a soft warm pita. For entrees, I got the chicken kabobs and my hubby for the gyro plate. Both came with pita, tzatziki and Greek fries. Greek fries were authentic and not traditional American version. We enjoyed our food. I would say the only downside was there was some juice soaking my plate so it made my pita soggy. We were able to take some leftovers home and we enjoyed some complimentary baklava. Overall this was a very tasty birthday dinner. The service here was friendly and not pretentious. We had nice night and would come back again to dine. Tip: cash only and get the Greek caviar.

Athenian Room is great! But not if you're gluten free. The gluten free options were some of the meats and the salad. No potatoes, rice, GF bread, etc. However, the food is very tasty, the service is quick, and it is reasonably priced! A true Lincoln Park gem.

I've been to this restaurant twice. Once in April and once in May. These were two different experiences. I got the Gyro plate both times , so I believe that I can make a good comparison. In April, portions of the gyro plate were large. It was cooked to perfection, and the fries were amazing. Service was fast and very attentive. My second time visiting, which was in the month of May was a little different. The Gyro portion was about 3/4 of what it was the last time I visited the restaurant. The portion of the fries was a lot less and they seem to have been drowning in a Greek sauce that tasted like Italian dressing. Service was a little slower this time, and they seem to be just as busy as they were during our previous visit. Because of how good the food was during my first visit, I will try this restaurant one more time. But because of the differences in quality, I can only give it three stars.

Chicken Kalamata style
Katie R.

Cash only Greek spot serving up large portions quickly. My friend who lives in the area said this was one of her favorite restaurants in the city and told us how Tina Fey apparently raves about this spot, so we were excited to give it a try. Menu had a lot of the staples you'd expect to see at a Greek/Mediterranean restaurant, but felt a little limited compared to others I've been to. My boyfriend and I ordered the Gyros plate and Chicken Kalamata style to share and it was more than enough food. We ended up sending our leftovers home with a friend who was able to make a whole extra meal out of it. We probably could've gotten away with sharing one entree if we got an appetizer. Surprisingly the gyro was my favorite of the two. I typically lean chicken, and did enjoy this dish, but the gyro had a bit more flavor. The place was super crowded on a Tuesday evening, the outside seating was full and only a handful of table were left inside. Compared to a lot of other Greek restaurants I've been to it wasn't too expensive, which was great since it is cash only.

Bunless Charburger and Feta on a bed of Greek fries
Shazeena T.

The plan was to celebrate my birthday with my bestie. The food is simply outstanding. It reminded me of my trip to Greece. It reminded her of her recent trip as well. The food is authentic and prepared fresh. My charburger with a slab of feta was perfectly cooked. I savored every bite. The homemade tzatziki was creamy and refreshing. My friend loved her gyro plate. I can't wait to go back! The charburger is a favorite of mine! We were told that the next table would be available in 55 minutes but I received a call after ten minutes saying that our table was ready! Honestly that meal would be worth a 55 minute wait!! Thank you for a lovely evening! Pro tip it's cash only nearest ATM is next door at the bar or at Liquor Expo

Sydney H.

Loved Athenian Room!!!! Pretty causal on the inside & super affordable food that did not disappoint! It's a cash only place, but they do have an atm at the bar next door. They don't take reservations, but our wait was only about 30 minutes, which was shorter than they originally told us. I loved everything we got, but the pita bread and tzatziki were my favorite. Both of them tasted homemade and sooo fresh. The greek fries had a strong lemon flavor and were generally seasoned. The greek salad was great too & came with a huge block of feta and giant tomatoes & cucumbers. Highly recommend Athenian Room!!!!

Skirt steak
Sonny R.

Food was great. The steak and fries were amazing. No condiments needed. The salad is just a salad. Not a big salad guy. The food came out very quick. My buddies and I were super hungry. You have to come a lot earlier to get any seating. We waited for 1hr and 35 minutes to get a table. My only critique is there is an opportunity to get a virtual waitlist so customers know where they are in the line. Managing expectations is important because we were told it would be a 1 hr wait.

Gyro sandwich
Cynthia M.

The food here is absolutely delicious! The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside-perfect!!! The gyro meat has so much flavor, the spices everything about was pleasurable!! Salad was good and the bread was so soft! Can't wait to go back!

Oh rats, the legendary Kalamata Chicken was high on my bucket list to try for years. Tina Fey gave it a certain cachet by naming it her favorite meal in Chicago, and David Letterman seemed to concur when he interviewed blues legend Buddy Guy over the same dish. I convinced Jamie W. to hop on the Red Line to Lincoln Park to have our first Windy City dinner. It was raining the night we went, and predictably there was a 45-minute wait for a table in their old-style dining room. We waited across the street nursing lattes at Starbucks and pleasantly got called after just a half-hour. We looked at the menu for about a minute and both ordered the $15.50 Chicken Kalamata Style Dinner which started with the Tossed Salad. It was already mixed in oil & vinegar, and I requested the $4 side of Feta Cheese to turn it into a Greek salad (photo: https://yelp.to/B84laSoDxJ). That was a delicious start along with the soft French Bread Roll and Butter (photo: https://yelp.to/1vN2uzVjsj). Our chicken plates arrived, and they were doozies - a full half-chicken broiled and grilled on top of a bed of Greek fries in a pool of their own au jus (photo: https://yelp.to/36q70Fr7Tr). Here's my verdict: The crispy skin was awesome, and the dark meat was juicy. The white meat was a bit dried out but still quite edible. The fries were holding up well from the au jus and chicken juice. The spoiler was the au jus. It consisted of olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, and lemon, and the resulting flavor was just too puckery sour to enjoy. Damn. FOOD - 3 stars...the kalamata chicken hamstrung by the au jus AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...a traditional space with brick walls and tables crowded together SERVICE - 3.5 stars...nice enough local college kids TOTAL - 3 stars...don't tell Tina I dissed her favorite spot RELATED - Exploring Chicago?

Aba Restaurant review -- Fulton Market, Chicago…read more This was my husband and I first time visiting Aba Restaurant, and we left impressed on every count. From the moment we arrived, the service stood out. We had an 8 PM reservation, but since we were in the area early, Chris B. kindly accommodated us for an earlier seating. We settled on the rooftop deck, which set the mood with a vibrant, buzzy vibe. The service was outstanding throughout. Our waiter greeted us promptly, with a trainee at the table. (My apologies for forgetting their names). Both were exceptionally pleasant. The trainee did a superb job walking us through the menu, explaining the concept of ordering. We decided on a variety of dishes, and Aba delivered: - Wild Mushroom Hummus: A smooth earthy dish with roasted mushrooms folded into a creamy hummus, finished with truffle oil and herbs. Yummy! - Tuna & Watermelon: A refreshing pairing of tender tuna balanced with juicy watermelon, cucumber, pomergrant seeds and mint. Loved it! - Green Chili Shrimp: Served in a metal dish used for escargo. The shrimp were covered by breadcrumbs and lots of butter with a slight kick to it. Great for dipping your bread in. It did not disappoint! - Pan Seared Halibut: A perfectly seared, delicate fillet, moist and flaky that highlighted the fish's clean, buttery profile. And from the cocktail menu, the Aloe? It's Me. It has a kick to it. Loved it too. Everything was excellent--the food was inventive and delicious, the service was great and the rooftop ambiance added a memorable layer to the evening. Highly recommended for a refined yet relaxed Chicago dining experience.

The plates are shareable so this is great because you can share a few dishes! I tried the smoked garlic hummus (comes with pita bread), short rib Shakshouka, crispy potatoes, and the beef and lamb kofta! This was for two people and we had left overs. The hummus was fantastic! I highly recommend getting the crispy potatoes as well! I have never tried shakshouka with meat in it before and didn't love the texture. However, the flavor was sweet and savory! The only thing that was not ideal was that an optional surcharge was on the receipt, when we tried to get our server to help remove it per instructions on the receipt no one was to be found. That was disappointing and potentially strategic? I would have rather just tipped. I'm not sure how others feel about the surcharge?

My friends and I started the evening with champagne and the Mezze Collection, which is an assortment of spreads and pita. I've had this before at brunch, and it is a REQUIREMENT at Andros. We then ordered a salad, mussels, lamb shoulder, and the whole fish (Andros style) to share. Several of the items were on their specials menu for the night, and they were all to die for. The fish was prepared and deboned at the table, which took out all the stress and work! I can't wait to come back for another dinner experience!

This place has been on my list for a very long time and we got in for a Valentine's Day…read morereservation. I was really excited about the limited menu because I wanted the shredded lamb shoulder. Our reservation was at 5:30... About as early as you can get for dinner and yet they were already sold out of the special so that was really disappointing that they would be so unprepared for one of the most popular dinner date holidays of the year... Alternatively, we went with a bunch of appetizers and split two entrées. Somewhere delicious somewhere very mid and somewhere a let down. Here's the breakdown: - Fried zucchini chips 5/5 - one of my favs in the city - Octopus 2/5 - one of my least favs in the city... it lacked flavor, was a small portion for the price and had a gooey string that grossed us both out - Fish spread that started with an M... haha 5/5 - I can't remember the name, but this was delicious! It was definitely pricey for the portion though especially because it didn't include pita... We had to pay an additional seven dollars for two pieces of pita, which was ridiculous - Oysters - 4/5 - husband enjoyed - Katifi cheese pie 4/5 - very tasty! Sweet and pricey but worth it - On special - fried fish- 2/5 - the waitress described these as small bite-size fish, but that is not how they came out and instead, it was really difficult to debone them and you hardly got any meat out of it. The flavor wasn't bad, but the experience was disappointing. I will say that they comped these after our feedback. - Gyros - 2.5/5 - it's not that these were bad per se... But I've had way better in the city to include fast, casual restaurants, and the price for the portion was pretty ridiculous again. Hardly any accoutrements. - Rockfish with pistachio brown butter - 5/5 - I believe this fish was on special and she described it as being a sweeter fish. They did come to the table and cut it for you so it was a lot easier to eat. The fish was cooked perfectly and had a sweet flavor. I also liked that you could choose your own dressing because the brown butter pistachio was delicious. - baklava froyo 3/5 - i'll bump this up to three because my husband liked it more than I did, but I was very disappointed by this dessert. The Greek yogurt was sour as to be expected, but instead of having actual baklava or pistachio flavor to balance it out, it basically just tasted like they dumped simple syrup on it and it was like a sour ice cream with just pure sugar drizzle... It really didn't come together for me. Overall, the service was really good and our waiter was very sweet. Also, our wine was delicious and the zucchini chips and fish spread were good, so maybe we would come for appetizers and drinks, but I definitely wouldn't return for a Greek dinner with the other options we have in the city.

We ordered the breads and the spread and the pita was so warm and delicious! The spicy feta and the tzatziki were a hit.

We started off with the crispy zucchini and egg plant. These were fried and more like veggie chips. Nonetheless the crunch with the dip was delectable. The waitress was so helpful and she served/cut each plate so everyone got to try one. The saganaki (Greek pan fried cheese) came out flamed! Such a show stopper and really delicious, dense cheese.
