While visiting Chicago, a friend took us to this restaurant, which we had not heard about because it is not included in âChicagoâ Greek restaurants. I insisted on picking up the tab because it was the most outstanding Greek food I have ever eaten!! We had shared 4 appetizers and each got different entrees. ALL was excellent! The price was low considering the high quality. The top Greek pics do not even compare!!! Do not be deterred by the little extra time it takes to drive to the amazing place. I promise it is well worth it!

This is a true family restaurant from days gone by. Friendly wait staff, huge and varied menu - something for everyone- and huge portions. You will not go away hungry here. In fact, you will probably need a âto goâ box. Most lunch and dinner selections come with a free cup of soup. I had the French onion and it was yummy with lots of cheese served in a brown crock. My husband had the matza ball soup which was also delicious. Every meal is served with a bread basket with a variety of breads and muffins. For the main course, I had the open face Reuben with coleslaw and 1000 island dressing and my husband had the chicken sandwich. Enormous portions at moderate prices. You could eat here every day of the year and never eat the same thing twice.

Letâs say we came home with leftovers. I was looking for a Greek restaurant in the Chicago suburbs rather than fighting the headache of downtown Chicago traffic and parking. We were seated quickly and ordered the combination plate. You know, a little of everything only it was a lot of everything. We also ordered the Saganaki(flaming Greek cheese). Ok, the Saganaki was not as good as the one at the dearly departed Parthenon Restaurant. In fact it was a bit chewy. The combination plate, however, was good and filling. Even the roasted potato was really well prepared. Usually thatâs sort of an afterthought. Not here. We washed this down with a 1/2 carafe of Roditis wine. Service was very good and attentive. Itâs not a huge restaurant yet itâs bright and airy. For the record they have valet parking.

I've passed this restaurant a million times and finally decided to try it. My date and I were in the neighborhood early on a Saturday night. The restaurant looked newly remodeled and inviting. I ordered a cod fish special, he ordered sirloin steak. The tomato rosemarina soup was reminiscent of cheap canned soup. I was shocked, since soups at the Greek joints are always homemade and delicious. His thousand island salad dressing was pink and passable at best. The fish tasted "off," but I ate it. His sliced sirloin was just ok. I was surprised that even the rice pudding - one of my favorites - wasn't creamy like it usually is, and his scoop of butter pecan ice cream tasted like peppermint, with only one pecan. He was a good sport about it, and we laughed it off, but will definitely not go back. Ironically, neither one of us are very fussy eaters.
