Even the ceiling was thought of when decorating. The cocktail menu features a seasonal menu combined with longtime standards. Both menus are well thought out and executed. The food menu has remained mostly the same, but is also usually supplemented with seasonal or special items. Probably my favorite moussaka, and the Theodora is a wonderful cocktail that you can't get other places around here.

It's a bit pricey for just a casual meal in the region, but the dishes are a little more elevated and unique.

Ordered a gyro and drink, which was $12 and change. Didn't realize it was just the guro, with no side (so something to keep in mind). Gyro was okay, not the hottest, and had an interesting taste (could have been the sauce?), but it was okay. Serving also wasn't huge, but it would be OK if you get fries or a side. Service was good, and place was clean, so that was nice. Overall an okay experience and a solid place for Greek.

February 9, 2026 me and the wife decided we're not cooking. We're going out for dinner…read more So we went to one of our places that we like in the food is good . My wife got her usual chicken. Souvlaki plate and I got a Gyro. Everything was excellent as usual. The only thing I had a problem with the Gyro was not enough meat in the Gyro for what you're paying for it I mean, if you put a two more sliver of meat on there, I wouldn't have mention this but the Gyro was kind of small. So whoever makes up the Guerro's, maybe you need to add just two more sliver of meat on there and your people will be a lot happier and they'll come and get more. So I hope my next Gyro you could put that extra two things of slices of sliver meat on there and make it a little bit better. I'll be happy. I'll order it all the time if we eat there at least four times a month that's the least. Atmosphere it's nice customers that are sitting in there eating food happy and smiling . Staff and chefs are nice and polite. Thank you very much. Everybody have a great day.

The chicken was super tasty and I loved the block of feta. Although, for 15.00, I could get double the salad and chicken and get pita bread at another local Greek restaurant.

I will try something different next time but I think my husband will stick with the Gyro dinner and we will just ask for more sauce and pita bread.

We had lamb chops, dolmates and braised Lamp with Tomato sauce with Orzo. Rating 4 out of 5 on all of them. We had a 1:30 reservation and thought the place would be busier. My wife and I grew up in the city and would frequently make it down to Greektown. This food would equal Greek Islands - Santorini Pegasus etc... We still enjoy Greek Islands in Oak Brook but last time we were there it was like they wanted to get us in eat and get out!!! If you need to experience Greek Food Chicago Style this place is legit. Not many ethnic options out there anymore other than Italian -Indian -Chinese-Thai ..... please support this place as these types are disappearing and all we'll have left is commercialized ones.

There is even a bar are with counter seating and three - five tables (two standard height and three counter height. There is a monstrous screen behind the bar for sports, but they mostly show videos of Greece, but they are mesmerizing videos of a beautiful country. It's a cleaner version of Dengeo's. And, dare I say, better version. Except for their avgolemeno soup. Such a weak travesty. Please fix this. It's just a watery mess. However, everything else is delicious. I ordered the Greek Chicken with their lemon-butter rice. They debone the chicken and serve atop a mountain of their rice. If also had their potatoes (which are good) but the rice is magical. The first time we went, they had a serve yourself soda fountain and they since got rid of it and sell soda in bottles and cans. They do still have a self-serve water station. Once you order, staff will bring to your table, so please tip when you order or leave on the table as they do come by and clear your table as well. It is first come first served and you grab your own tables. I've been there on weekends and weeknights and they get pretty packed. The food is flavorful and quite tasty. The portions are huge so you're definitely going to bring something home. Nostimo is now in our rotation of places to go in a pinch and they do have an outdoor seating area, too.

Since there was a total of 11 and the seating is first come first serve, we decided to call to see if they had reservations. They did take our name and reserved a table. When we arrived we noticed a table was reserved and we were informed that it was our table. We sat and looked over the menus. When we were ready my 2 boys and I went up to place our order. My one son has major allergies so we spoke to the chef and he came back out to recommend the dishes he can have. It was great that he did so and gave us confidence that my son would be able to eat without worrying too much about the ingredients. I ordered the Shrimp Kalamakia with a side of the Greek Rice. My son with the allergies ordered the Pork Kalamakia with Greek Rice and no pita, my other son ordered the Traditional Pork Gyro with Greek Rice. The sides we ordered: Saganaki Fritters and Spanakopitakia. My son that ordered the Pork Kalamakia devoured it. He said it was tender and juicy and probably could have eaten 4 skewers. My Shrimp Kalamakia was nicely charred and seasoned, I squeezed some lemon and it provided a nice tang over the seasoning. The Lemon rice pilaf was soft and cook just right and was nicely balanced. I had one Saganaki Ball and it was delicious. My son had the Pork Gyros said it was really good and the Tzatziki sauce was creamy and rich with flavors. My in-laws bought the table desserts and I got the Baklava and my wife got Loukoumades (Greek Donuts with Nutella) and both did not disappoint. I really loved the citrus honey syrup in the Baklava. The Loukoumades had a crispy shell and nice a fluffy on the inside and the Nutella amount was perfect. This place is very good and well worth the price in my opinion. I loved the fact that they took the time to make sure my son with allergies was safe.

The Tzatziki with pita, Skordalia with Fried Zucchinni, Flaming Saganaki Cheese, Seafood Kabobs, Dolmades, House Salad with Gyro meat and the Greek Islands Special dessert were all incredible. The Spanakotiropita was hands down one of my favorite dishes of the evening as well as the Affogato to end the evening. As someone who is new to Greek and Mediterranean food I was impressed with the flavors and quality/freshness of the food. We hope to be back the next time we are in town.
