Your welcoming employees will have me spreading the word!

Psistaria Greek Taverna is truly a taste of authentic Greece! The food reminds me so much of my…read moreGreek Yiayia's home cooking, full of flavor, comforting, traditional, and made with so much heart. The portions are generous, and you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Some of my favorites are the lamb chops and the chicken spinaki, chicken breast stuffed with spinach, feta, and spices, topped with melted cheese and egg lemon sauce. Absolutely delicious! The flaming saganaki, octopus, fried zucchini with skordalia, and Greek village salad are also must-orders. It's almost always packed, and for good reason. Getting a table can be a challenge, but the incredible food and authentic Greek experience are completely worth it. Every meal feels like being transported straight to Greece. Love, love, love this place. You truly can't choose wrong here!

Date night at Avli had some great moments, but overall fell short of expectations…read more First, our waitress was super sweet and she made excellent wine recommendations, which we really appreciated. Service-wise, she was attentive and kind. We ordered a full spread and specifically asked for the courses to be paced so we could enjoy everything. When three appetizers came out at once, I politely reminded them and asked to hold off on bringing additional dishes. Unfortunately, despite that, the rest of the food continued to come out all at once. It made the experience feel rushed and frustrating, especially since dishes started getting cold before we could enjoy them. The highlights were definitely the zucchini chips, artichoke, and Greek salad, fresh, flavorful, and easily the best items we had. The rest was underwhelming. The octopus was just okay, the grilled calamari was chewy and lacked flavor, and the red snapper was a bit dry. We also never received the broccolini we ordered, which added to the disappointment. There's potential here, especially with some of the appetizers and the warm service, but the pacing and overall execution need improvement to really elevate the dining experience.

We've ordered from here about 3 times and I…read moreordered the same entree every time (with a variety of sides) and my entree was tasty every single time! I ordered the chicken kebab sandwich and it is flavorful, tastes fresh, and it's not a skimpy. You do get a choice of the type of bread you want, I went with pita. Consistency is so important in restaurants and In so happy that this sandwich hit the mark every single time. We also have tried the pink sultan (beets/yogurt spread) and the baba ghanoush. Both are really good. I'm looking forward to going back and trying the doner and other sides! Service is friendly. Interior looks nice, but we carried out each time so I can't speak in detail about more in-depth service. Great place to have in the neighborhood!

We dropped in here to try them for a weekday lunch. It was 1pm, and we were the only patrons until…read moreabout the time we left. Given their high ratings and thus our expectations, we ended up having but a meh, ok lunch. The wife and I split a lunch special combination plate ($17) and a bowl of lentil soup ($8). Complimentary bread was provided. The lentil soup was a bit watered down. The combo plate content was an average value but it was disappointing mainly as it wasn't hot, and everything was barely lukewarm. Ali was our friendly and gregarious server, hails from Istanbul, and has only been there a few weeks. There's a 2% credit card charge, so I just paid cash. It's a one and done for us here, but best of luck to Cappadocia!

Didn't want to say "hold on while I take pics" to people I don't know. But I was super impressed. We had a fixed menu with unique and upscale twists on Mediterranean favorites. The flavors of each dish were tasty - some with unexpected sweetness and others with a kick. I'll attach the menu of what we were served. Every single thing was great. And the desserts -- wow. Both were amazing. I loved having a few bites of each dish so I got a sampling of a many things. Next time I come to Chicago, I'd have ema on a list to visit if it fit into the trip for sure. Lastly -- we loved the decor and surroundings and I did grab a picture of those.

I've lived in Chicago my entire life. Worked in Skokie for years and have plenty family there…read more Which is why I'm sad to say this is my first time here. I called in and ordered a gyros combo over the phone and the employee was like "okay a number ten, anything else?" I replied no and was at the restaurant in 10 minutes. I get there and the menu says the # 10 is a chicken breast sandwich ‍. So I go to the cashier and make sure theyre making a gyros, which they werent. But the kids were really chill about it and started to make the gyros instantly when they realized thats what I wanted. A greek gyro is unlike any other. Thin strips, perfectly placed into the pita. Sauce was over all the strips not just the top. Fries looked to be the frozen kind(still fried perfectly tho) but they complemented the sandwich just right. All in all, great place and the restaurant itself was SUPER clean. I would just recommend not to repeat the combo # to customer to confirm what they want since some people may not know the difference between a #1 and a #10. Either way I recommend.

It seriously gets a lot of people in here, and there's not much room so it always seems busy though. Easy to say there's lots of business going on, and there's not a whole lot of room inside. The prices are pretty good especially when getting platters. Came and we got a couple of the combos. It's about $13 for a platter. They have chicken and other meats, or vegetables, so you can get these in a wrap. Got us the vegetarian friendly ones. I got the Falafel Sandwich. This is a falafel entree meal that comes in the choice of pita or wrap. A lot of combos you can get. These include kabobs. Get a drink and fries to save a few bucks. There's a few that are meaty. Has pretty big food menu that makes it hard to choose. It's best to get one of the platters to save a lot of money. There's plenty for meat eaters, including the beef and chicken, and there's plenty for vegans and vegetarians.
