    Garlic Chicken Sammy

    The food was extremely good and the Service was extremely good as well! The restaurant is clean.

    Gyro meal for $9
    Ian C.

    Good neighborhood spot for simple, no-frills food. Went in for lunch on a Saturday and was greater by all three workers cheerfully. Ordered a gyro meal, with fries and a drink, for $9. Waited about 5-10 minutes and my order was ready. Meat was excellent...hot, lightly seasoned, and plentiful. The pita was hot and fresh and the fries were hot and well done. Place was clean and had excellent service. Would definitely recommend for a quick, tasty, lunch.

    delicious gyro & fries
    Sara K.

    I love Chicago. (see picture) Need I say more? Didn't think so. ----------------------------- I had already drafted this review as such in my head during my wonderful lunch and settled in with New Amsterdam's first new episode of the season...yay! The latter + my delicious gyro & fries was a match made in heaven. However, Kostas made the meal even more memorable when he came over to help me on with my coat afterwards, saying, "women deserve everything" and "it is a woman's world." As someone who thinks, sometimes all day, about the status of women, it was kind of a psychic, perfect thing to say to me. Ha! Earlier, after I could not find the gyro place next to my dentist's office - it might no longer be there - I yelped highest-rated gyros in Chicago and drove all the way to Nick's on North since it was also the closest one to the Apple Store Lincoln Park. However, when I pulled in, I was shocked that Nick's was just in a strip mall + didn't look good and THEN I saw a man just sitting there in the window smoking INSIDE nonchalantly and it was closed with a paper sign posted on the door that they had a gas line issue/repair. Wtf. So I went to the next place down the list - this one - and I'm glad!

    Looks good but unfortunately didn't have much flavor

All high-quality ingredients across the board, the dolmas are superb. Always quick friendly service always busy with a full restaurant whether we come at lunch or dinner.

That was a show & highlight every time. I believe now they torch in kitchen and bring to your table. I miss that experience, perhaps a thing of the past. I can only speculate a plate of flaming saganaki met a litigious human at some point along the line in the Greek food world, ending an era. Alas, I Look forward to returning.

We started with two frappe because there is no other way, and decided to order a bunch of the appetizers for a little bit of a lunch mezze. Delicious! We got the: -trio of dips. The taramasalata was my favorite. -a horiatiki salad, basically a greek salad with no lettuce. -octopus and the kolokithia (zucchini chips) A perfect lunch. We left full but not weighed down like so many of our other meals that week, and had left overs to nosh on that night. The space is lovely, the service was fast and friendly and it was so great that they had free valet. Would highly recommend and I am sure I will be back the next time I am in town.

    Stylish Fulton Market Brunch with Great Food and Service…read more Booked brunch for two on OpenTable at Aba in Fulton Market, and it's easy to see why this spot is so popular. The space is beautiful--open, bright, full of natural light, and stylish without feeling overdone. We ordered the Short Rib Shakshuka, which was flavorful with just a hint of spice and a generous portion size. The warm, soft pita served alongside was perfect for dipping. The Steak and Eggs was also excellent--the steak and eggs were cooked perfectly, and the fried potatoes were a standout: crispy on the outside while still moist and tender inside. Portion sizes were just right. We also tried both of the recommended brunch cocktails, and they were strong, flavorful, and well balanced. Service from Mike was great--friendly, efficient, and attentive throughout the meal. Overall, Aba delivered a polished and enjoyable brunch experience. Highly recommend, and based on what we tasted, I'd absolutely come back to try dinner.

We ordered the grilled chicken kebab along with the tuna and watermelon. The chicken was moist and well-cooked, but the tuna and watermelon dish was disappointing. There was no watermelon at all, and the seasoning was overwhelmingly salty. The cucumber and mint spritz was refreshing, but the bartender was new and not very attentive. Overall, the experience fell short of expectations.

We started out w the mezze collection, we chose tzatziki, spicy whipped feta, and the skordalia w octopus, it came w 2 wood fired pitas. You guys, this mezze collection was straight fire. It was divine. It also was quite filling and we prob didn't need a whole fish after, but I was not mad about the fish bc the fish was incredible as well. We got the wild lavraki, which was explained to us as the cousin of branzino. It was deboned for us at our table and he sprinkled flaky salt, squeezed lemon, and added some delicious flavored oils on top. Prob the freshest fish I've had in the city. We also had a couple cocktails, I had a spritz that was lovely. The total bill was a bit shocking, cant lie, but I also believe it was worth it for the quality of service and food that we received.

I ordered the Georgie's gyro, and it was actually pretty good. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get the "few fries" that normally come with it due to my shellfish allergy, and I wasn't offered a replacement option. Since the entrées are a bit on the pricier side, I would have appreciated having a substitute or a more substantial side included. The quality of the gyro itself was good, though, and the ambiance was a highlight. I loved that you could see the wood-fired oven from the dining area -- it added a nice touch to the experience. They also have a great variety of drink options, making it a nice spot for a meal and drinks.

It's a mom-and-pops shop through and through- you'll see homely decor, a simple but well done menu, and people from all walks of life coming together over delicious food. The staff was warm and attentive throughout the meal and brought out delicious complimentary french bread. It's pretty cool that although the restaurant doesn't serve alcohol, staff from the adjacent bar came around every so often and took orders. For appetizers, we started with the feta and olive appetizers. They were good, but I'd probably order something a little more unique next time. I opted for the chicken kalamata dinner for the main event, which came with more french bread and a salad. The salad came out first, and it was pretty simple with minimal dressing. I wished there had been more variety in produce and something besides iceberg lettuce for greens. I'd recommend getting some feta on the side to add some flavor. The chicken, however, was absolutely outstanding. It was super tender, seasoned beautifully with za'atar, and brined in vinegar (I think). The za'atar seasoned french fries underneath were extra crispy and perfectly soaked up the extra sauce from the chicken. For the price, this place is a steal- you really can't beat the quantity and quality of food that you get. Overall, a great experience- I definitely recommend making a stop if you're in the area!

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.
