    The entrance is very pleasing to the eye and I love the hanging flowers!

    Wow what a wonderful little restaurant. It's location by the movie theater and downtown sycamore is amazing and the authentic Greek food is to die for. I had really quick service and both the cook Maki and my waitress Maia were extremely pleasant to talk with. I cannot recommend this establishment enough!! I'll be coming back for sure.

    Let's see who gets this.... I awoke in a restaurant. I asked "Where am I?" The response: "In The Village." Okay, not really, but my wife spotted this place. I was tempted to get my #6 Button out, but I was wearing a dry fit shirt which would not work well with pins.... We dropped in deliberately for lunch after doing some business in DeKalb. I have been looking for a restaurant in the area that makes Souvlaki like I used to get in the Skewer Inn at the now demolished Lincoln Mall in Matteson. Found the place! The Steak Pita Sandwich is darn close, and just as tasty. This place is connected to the east side of the State Theater in Sycamore. Here is how this works: You come in, go to the counter, and grab a menu. You can sit down and figure out what you want, then go back to the counter, order and pay and tip, and then go sit down. They will take your name, and call your name when your food is up. Drinks are in a cooler case next to the register - Coke products, bottled water, and some energy drinks. There is cucumber water and lemon water free in the restaurant - help yourself. We both ordered the Steak Pita Sandwich, my wife got the Greek Salad and I got the french fries. The salad came out first and was loaded with 4 Kalamata olives, a chunk of feta cheese, and good, fresh lettuce. Then the sandwiches came out. I grabbed a bite - oh yeah, that's what I've been missing! I went to the counter for ketchup - they had salt and pepper at the table, but if you ask, they'll give you a container to use on your meal if needed and for fries, I like some ketchup. The owner came out and asked us how the food was and explained it's all made there (apart from the pitas) fresh daily, using recipes from her family in Greece. And we could tell - good food. They also have the usual Gyros, chicken and pork souvlaki, and other dishes. Service was polite, the owner was engaged, the restaurant was clean, and the bathrooms were clean and smelled good. There is Greek artwork on the walls, and a mural on the west wall. Really good stuff!

    I love Greek food. I especially like family run places. This ticks the boxes on both. We started with saganaki and pita. I chose a side Horiatiki salad to go with my avgolemono soup and slouvaki skewer My husband got a chicken souvlaki and pork souvlaki skewers. And we got a lot of lemon to go around. Delicious absolutely delicious. The soup with the lemon you can add to taste. The juicy pork that was tender and well seasoned My regret? We don't live closer!

    We were in a mood for some nice and light meal and we found this gem in the heart of Sycamore . It's family owned and run restaurant. Very warm and welcoming. The food is simply awesome. It's Kind of Greek and Mediterranean. We ordered Soup , spicy Feta dip, chicken Slovouki Salad moussaka and grilled cheese , everything tasted so good ,and not to forget a Greek dessert. Everything came out fast and fresh and delicious. The hostess was very hospitable and kind. The place is clean and neat and not bad for your wallet either. I'd definitely recommend this place and would go back too .

    I seldom leave reviews, and I have never left a second review of the same restaurant, but The Village in Sycamore deserves it. I have had their souvlaki dinner on several occasions and it has always been wonderful. I almost always order it with the Greek potatoes which are among the best potatoes of any kind that I have ever had. My most recent order of souvlaki was notably great. The chicken is exceptionally flavorful by itself. But then add a bit of the included lemon and the flavor goes up a notch. While I have not experienced their entire menu, I am confident that it is all equally wonderful.

    Best Greek food i have had period. If you are looking for some good Greek food, and are in the area, then visit "The Village, they have amazing dishes for great prices. Their saganaki was seasoned very well, it had a beautiful lemon flavor that paired amazingly well with the cheese. The soup was my favorite dish, it had a delicious yet luxurious lemon flavor that complimented the chicken and rice in it. If i had known how delicious it was, i would have just had a big bowl of it for dinner haha. The Souvlaki and the Gyros dinner were so delicious that i told my husband that i expect to be back soon forote of their delicious foods. As I said in the beginning, if you are looking for a great place for dinner and are in the Sycamore, IL area, then swing by "The Village" you will not regret it.

    DELICIOUS. I was so skeptical at first but I'm so happy that I decided to stop here! You won't…read moreregret it. The dishes are authentically made. Very clean establishment and kind staff.

    Heard good things but was pretty disappointed…read more First and biggest problem was an item missing from my order (baba ghanouj). Even if I bothered to drive all the way back to argue about it they would've been closed so no recourse. Food tasted like it would've been good but was mostly very dry. I did come an hour before closing but I don't think that means I should've been served mummified food. No sauces were included with my combination plate, don't know if that's nonsense protocol or another oversight as with my missing baba ghanouj. Part of the combination plate includes Spicy Chili Chicken which looks good on their website, red and well seasoned. But what I got was pale, bland and completely devoid of any spiciness. It's almost like they make their food in an unauthentic way to cater to white folks cuz they don't think we can handle the flavor ‍ I've used shawarma marinade packets from Jewel that tasted better than whatever they use. Also their pita bread is pretty low quality, like the difference between Turano and Butternut bread. Funny since that's their namesake. Won't be returning or recommending.
