We've been coming to Mykonos for almost 2 decades and this was our first visit back since pre-Covid so you're talking over 5+ years ago. Luckily we made reservations for this Saturday night dinner because this place is packed as usual. They do have free valet, however, if you are lucky enough to find a parking space on the side parking lot, make sure to get it. The best surprise after our last visit for over five years was, they did a complete internal renovation of the space. If you've been coming here, you know that it looked like the very traditional Mykonos environment and now it is a very modern look. The menu is just as fantastic and the food is absolutely consistent and authentic. Love that they still have Greek owners as well. This place is reliable love coming here and will continue to come here, especially with this new renovation. read more

Oh wow! I loved my experience here! It was my first time and I have a new greek restaurant in Chicago whenever I visit. I loved every single item I had. The service was flawless from arrival to departure. Warm friendly professional staff. Flavors were delicious. Ambiance is perfect and menu is extensive with perfect value. I loved it all! read more

Mykonos is a local treasure, a mainstay in the community and surrounding area for years. Classic indoor Greek decor, complimented by a fantastic outdoor patio, with bar and grill and heaters for late and early season dining. Expect the traditional Greek specials, cooked to order, and delivered by consistently engaging and professional staff. Parking can be a challenge with a small lot, but valet and spots in the back are available. read more

Visited 5/31, MyKonos, sorry, but the benchmark for Greek Food is the Greek Islands on Halsted. Service, excellent. Food, 3/5 stars, the table bread was ok, the skordalia looked like is was made with yukon gold potatoes, have never seen yellow skordala. It was ok, certainly not spectacular. I had lamb, the green beans were definitely canned beans, I expect fresh green beans for a $34 entree. Greek potatoes were not golden/crispy outside. The outside patio was lovely but loud, very. Value, 3/5 stars, two people, one bottle of wine, one appy, $140+... just not worth it. read more

Beautiful clean place. Food was not up to par. Lamb Yiuvesti lacked flavor. Mostly tomato sauce. No cinnamon. Roast lamb slices swimming in what appeared to be "brown water", not sauce or gravy. Dessert of "galatobourteko", custard was not smooth but very gritty and barely 1/2 inch thick. Waiter was nice. I know they could do better because they have in the past. read more

The food was absolutely phenomenal and so delicious and savory, best service, and so inviting and welcoming! read more

It was ok I wouldn't say 5 star Greek food. Only think I liked the grilled calamari but every order comes with cooked potatoes it was weird taste. I didn't like the lemon rice soup. read more

This was a great backup for food with a relative in a nearby nursing home. We had gone to dinner a number of times here and always had a great experience! The staff is really great ! They make you feel that they are happy to see you and make you feel at home right away. Have had to wait a few minutes sometimes for olive oil for the bread but usually right on top of things! Best dishes we like are the braised lamb, the grilled octopus and the gyro platter. Great selection of wines as well!!! Decor resembles Greek restaurant inside and an "outside" enclosed area has much more seating and a better ambiance like a Greek vineyard. Nice and warm in winter so not a problem being seated there. Always great to go there ! Valet parking most nights read more

I used to love this place .. but the waitress after seating us and giving us our appetizer forgot about us . I had to get up and ask another server to get her attention after we finished our bread and appetizer. I ordered the chicken kabob and was really disappointed. I got one potato , I kabob , which was odd for a dinner plate . And a little bit of rice ? I'm really shocked .. read more

First time ever, after living down the road for years, and man I've been missing out! Our server Meleke was great from start to finish! The food was amazing -- I had the braised lamb and my friend had the salmon, both cooked to perfection with sauces that added so much flavor. And the ambiance is half the beauty - a flowing fountain and half outdoor seating was just the scene to eat amazing and authentic Greek food in. Would highly recommend! read more

Favorite Mediterranean restaurant in the chicago area. Love the lamb chops, the live music, and the service. Always treated so well and feel so welcome. So nice to sit outside in the summer as well read more

My recent visit to Mykonos was truly fantastic from start to finish! We started with a lineup of appetizers. Fried calamari, saganaki and fries with feta. Everything was delicious and seasoned to perfection. Staff was friendly and the atmosphere made me feel like I WAS in Greece. I highly recommend this place! read more

My second time going to Mykonos Greek Restaurant in a month. I gave it 4 stars because of the Avgolemono Lemon Egg Soup, it had too much rice and lemon for my taste. We started out with the lemon soup followed by splitting a Saganaki, we both ordered the Combination Platter that had enough for a second meal. We both ordered dessert. I had Spumoni Ice Cream and my guest had Rice Pudding which she took home after a few spoonfuls. It was so big. The coffee was very good and fresh. Our waiter Alexander was top-notch and very attentive, always around to see if we needed anything. The bus boys were very good as well, making us a new pot of coffee for our refill. read more

I'd give 3.5 stars if I could, but my experience was generally good so I'll round up. I went to Mykonos with my folks on the weekend. We were seated in the outdoor patio because there was going to be a private party indoors later on. It was crowded and loud - which on one hand is a sign that they're popular, but it also means conversation was difficult and I felt like I didn't have much breathing room. Our server was... okay. When she brought us bread, she just dropped it on the table without even looking at us, on her way to the next table. The bread was good, at least. As I mentioned, it was loud and hard to converse, so deciding on appetizers together was difficult and took longer than it would have otherwise. Unfortunately, the waitress had to come back a couple times before we were ready to order, and even then my mom hadn't had a chance to look at the wine list. She eventually was able to order something, but it took a while for the server to come back at that point. When the food was served, it was good, but not amazing. We had saganaki for the appetizer, and unfortunately they don't light it at the table (which seems to be harder and harder to find anymore). My entree was the combo plate, so I got to try several things. It was all good, but not the best I've ever had. My mom got a side of artichokes with her kebab plate, and while they tasted okay, there was a LOT of liquid, to the point where it almost looked like artichoke soup. All in all, it was a pleasant dining experience but could have been a bit better. The tables are very close together and I wish there had been a bit more room. I'm not sure what they could have done to mitigate the noise, but it's a bit difficult to enjoy eating out as much when you can barely hear yourself think, much less hear the people at the table with you. Also the prices are a bit high, but that's true just about everywhere now so I'm not going to single them out over that. read more

Enjoyed the authentic Greek food and excellent service. Come here for special occasions.

Food was so so had sampler platter. Everything tasted the same because it was all on top of each other with the same sauce. Greek salad was panchalini soso. House wine cab lower grade. On the good side flaming cheese was good! Service was good. Ambience could have been better because they were dragging outdpor chairs around the room for table while everyone was eating instead of picking them up to keep the place quiet for guests like fine diner restaurants would do that was a big disappointment! read more

There are a lot of Greek food places and this stalwart will always be a good choice to go. They have valet parking, because frankly, when they're busy, there's nowhere to park. It's a small lot in front of the restaurant. They have remodeled since the last time we ate there and it looks really nice inside, but the weather was nice, so we sat outside. Our server was nice, but needs to retire. She just looked tired and moved slow and we had no idea if she heard us or not. We commend her for still working. We had a nice dinner. We started with the saganaki. When did they stop lighting this on fire table side? We got it and the fire had already been put out and seemed to have been sitting for a little bit before it was brought to us. Normally it's a little melty and this was just a sad tile of cheese on a plate. It was even served in a sizzling skillet, just on a plate. It was sad. They did bring us fresh baked bread and we kept asking for more. It's fantastic! If a place has good bread, why muck it up with oil and cheese or butter. It's tasty without and theirs is awesome! All was made better in the world, at least, for me, as I followed it up with Avgolrmono soup. There's is still one of the better ones around. The flavoring is just right, not too tart from the lemons, some rice, but not overly so. Just a nice soup to cleanse the pallet. I ordered the Chicken Breast A La Dimitri. It's sauteed in white wine, lemon, and special spices and served with rice. Hey Dimitri, lay off the sauce! My chicken need life preservers. There was so much sauce that the rice was making a chain to help save the chicken from drowning. The flavor was okay and that was probably do to them serving me soup with chicken on a plate instead of lemon chicken. I'm not one who sends food back, but I left half of it because it had drowned and was not worth recovering. My wife got the Greek salad and said it was good (seriously, if you're a Greek restaurant and you screw up a Greek salad, then I don't know how to help you). She said no olives and it wasn't served with olives. Put that in the "win column". We'll go back, as we do like this place. I just will order something different as I'm not a certified lifeguard. read more

A long time favorite. The outdoor area is great and cool even when it's hot outside. Tara and grilled octopus are great and the whole fish is also wonderful. Try it! read more

I went here one evening for a friends birthday. It was a small group and they weren't too busy. It had nice music- live Greek band and the ambiance was dark/blue light vibe. I started with a Strawberry Daiquiri, which they don't seem to have on the menu. It was strong, but fruity and refreshing- Ordered the flaming cheese as an appetizer and pastitsio for my entree. The food was really authentic and flavorful. I would come back here to try additional items. My main issue was our server. He was really slow and often took forever to get us drinks, food, etc. My entree ended up coming out before my appetizer, which didn't make any sense. I also asked him twice about it since it was taking so long. He didn't really care lol When my appetizer came out like 5 min after my entree- he barely lit it on fire and just placed it down. Other servers gave more of a presentation- maybe he was having a bad day? Regardless, the food was so great I would come back! Overall experience 4/5. read more

Absolutely one of the best greek spots in the area! As a greek who grew up in Greece I can say that everything is super authentic. Very nice decor, amazing service and good wine list. We usually get the avgolemono soup, tzatziki and skordalia (for spreads), grilled octopus, and keftedes (meatballs). So far everything we have tried is good so I don't believe you can go wrong with anything on the menu! The service is always great, our server Meli is amazing too. read more

The food is phenomenal. I would give a five star, but they are overpriced staff there is very great.

Mykonos is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owners Madeline/Renee are very nice and do a great job running the day to day operations. Server Alex was very friendly and asked if I needed anything. Feels like family. The restaurant is in good condition. Amazing moussaka. Must come back. 10/10. read more

Mykonos is a great place to celebrate family, friendships and mouthwatering food. I've loved this place for decades. They have a beautiful patio/garden is so relaxing with the Greek vibes. I went last week for an evening of stories and laughs while sharing and loving the different flavors. We started with skordalia. It's a garlic spread with a tart finish and is fantastic on their Greek bread. Then came the saganaki flaming cheese. Wow it's a great appetizer to share . We also shared a small Greek village salad, which has no lettuce but packs plenty of flavor and textures. I love the feta cheese and the Greek olives. Your taste buds will be happy . We shared the dolmades dinner. Grape leave stuffed with a beef lamb and rice mixture and topped with an egg lemon sauce. These flavors combine for an incredibly filling and tasty entrée. We also shared a gyros dinner. One bite and you taste the homemade excellence. This one is on another level as far as quality and seasonings. The service is absolutely phenomenal. I have always been treated as if I were greek and family. What a great evening with one of my favorite people and restaurants. Great job folks! read more

How on earth this place currently has 3.5 stars is beyond me. Everything I've had from here so far has been excellent, but I'll review my favorite 2 items to start. The Avgolemono Soup - Near perfection. The right consistency and full of punch with plenty of lemon. I get this every time I order and you should too. 5/5 Dolmades - I have a VERY hard time finding this dish done correctly. I am Greek and my Aunt makes this a couple times a year for family gatherings just as my YaYa used to when I was young. I was really surprised at how amazing they did and it's what prompted me to write this review. If you love this dish as much as I do you will not be disappointed. The portion is very large and comes with a Greek potato. The cream sauce is just right and the meat flavor is very much what I am used to. 5/5 Since we have a young one I am limited to where I can go out and actually sit down so I can only speak for the food but Mykonos gets 5 stars from me, try them out today! read more

Love this restaurant always great food. Saturday night they were slammed with big parties. It was taking a bit longer so I mention it to the lovely hostess..immediately she made sure our food was coming. They comped us wine, brought a salad, and a free dessert. Fantastic way to make things right. 100% concerned and more than made up for the slower than normal service. She even stopped by after to make sure things went better. Had the Greek feta shrimp dish, outstanding. High praise. read more

Dino is the best server EVER! the ambience is warm and the atmosphere is SO MUCH FUN! I was not expecting this! it's decorated BEAUTIFULLY! Ask for Dino to be your sever! You will not regret it! read more

As on par for a Saturday night, myself and my 3 friends always head to Mikonnos Greek Restaurant on Golf rd. in Niles.We really enjoy sitting in the outdoor patio, and the food is absolutely sublime. Greek Chicken, the baby lamb chops are fire grilled and incredibly succulent and insanely flavorful!!! Experiment with the Menu. You will be pleasantly pleased with all the Fish selections, Always daily fresh. And what can you say about Madeline? The co-owner and the hostess of the restaurant. Beautiful, smart, funny,and serious, gregarious and engaging always about running the absolute best business, like a business. She is always on top of everything! She is really something and we love her!!!! Chuck T read more
