Amazing Greek food, truly a taste of Naxos in the Chicagoland area. I was so impressed! Service was excellent and all of the dishes were authentic, carefully prepared, and absolutely delicious! I felt like I was back in Naxos eating the delicious calamari, octopus, and fresh fish.. the authentic Greek desserts and freddo cappuccino were a perfect way to finish one of the best Greek meals I’ve had outside of Greece. Will definitely be back soon for an amazing, authentic, Greek culinary experience!

This was a great experience for the 6 of us. The decor is clean and inviting with its whites and blues, and the staff was very welcoming. We tried an array of different meals from pork chops, to the chicken special, Greek meatballs, and gyros. Everyone was pleased with their food, the servings were ample (including potato and soup) and the service was good. We will definitely be back. The Skordalia (garlic potato spread) on bread or cucumber as an appetizer was to die for!

Great tasting, authentic Greek food. A comprehensive menu with lots of choices. Full bar, a selection of Greek and California wines, and even alcohol-free beer. This place will have you saying "yasou !"

No wait, very quiet atmosphere during lunch. We did the lunch special, plenty of food. Not pictured we had saganaki and the lemon soup. Delicious. Pictured Naxo chicken , 1 chicken 1 pork , 2 pork . The food felt like we were sent back to Greece . Our waiter George was very nice and you can tell everyone is family here. Easily one of the best Greek restaurants I been to.

If you want Greek cuisine... you can come here, although you won't be greeted with anything special. As for a Greek restaurant, the decor is poor, just like in every fast food. The waiter who served us gave the impression that he was in a hurry somewhere, which I don't like. Apart from that, the food is also not impressive. Poorly served and you can smell that it is reheated and in a bad way. So I was, I saw, I tried and that would be all about my visits here.

This is my third time here and each time has been memorable. This time blew me away. I had the lamb with Okra with red sauce. It was made to perfection. Also the spicy feta spread was huge. Staff was wonderful and the outdoor seating was put together well even though it is next to the parking lot.
