Mykonos Greek Restaurant

This was a random but fantastic find! The atmosphere was straight out of Greece in a cozy beautiful courtyard with a nice fountain and fire feature. Come when they have live Greek music. Trust me... The food was fantastic! I recommend the fun Flaming Cheese appetizer to start with. I had a Mythos beer, a favorite in Greece, which was quite tasty. We had the Chicken a la Dmitri, Lamb with Artichokes, and the Beef Kebab (3 petite filets perfectly cooked!). It was all very nicely done and presented, the flavors were amazing. My family was so glad we found this gem just north of Chicago.

Service is implacable. Ambience of the restaurant is great. Lovely restaurant for any occasions. Food is superb. Saw a note from another reviewer that portion is small.. In my opinion, food portion is okay. All depends if you prefer appetisers and number of pax. My vote is to try out if you are searching for Greek cuisine.

I’ve tried Greek food all over the world, but this place served me the best homemade lamb gyros I’ve ever had — full of flavor and tradition. I also had the Horiatiki salad and Brizolakia, and every bite was simply phenomenal. The service was just as impressive — warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. This is more than just a meal — it’s an experience I’ll definitely come back for.

This place is transcending, you feel like you are in Greece. Food is authentic, service is genuine (efharisto Meli), and atmosphere is laid back.

Food is incredible and the patio has a very nice ambiance. Good for dates or special occasions. I and the patio to myself, but service was slow.

Mykonos is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owners Madeline/Renee are very nice and do a great job running the day to day operations. Server Alex was very friendly and asked if I needed anything. Feels like family. The restaurant is in good condition. Amazing mousaka. Must come back. 10/10.

Beautiful Greek restaurant with excellent family-owned service, great food and wine. The char-grilled Octopus was spectacular. 5stars 05/06/25 update : Same fantastic time : Beautiful Greek restaurant with excellent family-owned service, great food and wine.

Tasty lamb! I don't like mandatory valet. As a slightly fancier place where I'm wearing nicer clothes, I would've preferred the staff to box up my leftovers target than having to do it myself.

We've been coming to Mykonos for almost 2 decades and this was our first visit back since pre-Covid so you're talking over 5+ years ago. Luckily we made reservations for this Saturday night dinner because this place is packed as usual. They do have free valet, however, if you are lucky enough to find a parking space on the side parking lot, make sure to get it. The best surprise after our last visit for over five years was, they did a complete internal renovation of the space. If you've been coming here, you know that it looked like the very traditional Mykonos environment and now it is a very modern look. The menu is just as fantastic and the food is absolutely consistent and authentic. Love that they still have Greek owners as well. This place is reliable love coming here and will continue to come here, especially with this new renovation.

What a nice place. The hostess was excellent the service excellent and the food fantastic. This place had a great Mediterranean Vibe. Great wine list, super appetizers (try the feta picante!), entrees were excellent. Plan to return soon. This place takes reservations so this is a huge plus over other Greek restaurants. Thanks for a great time.

We went on a Friday night. Make sure you have cash to tip the valets. That's how it is, you do not self park. I wish I knew this. While the Greek music and singing was good, I came to be with friends, and did not expect the struggle to talk with them. They had the volume set too loud. Kinda ruined the experience. Screaming to one another. Okay food.

There are a lot of Greek food places and this stalwart will always be a good choice to go. They have valet parking, because frankly, when they're busy, there's nowhere to park. It's a small lot in front of the restaurant. They have remodeled since the last time we ate there and it looks really nice inside, but the weather was nice, so we sat outside. Our server was nice, but needs to retire. She just looked tired and moved slow and we had no idea if she heard us or not. We commend her for still working. We had a nice dinner. We started with the saganaki. When did they stop lighting this on fire table side? We got it and the fire had already been put out and seemed to have been sitting for a little bit before it was brought to us. Normally it's a little melty and this was just a sad tile of cheese on a plate. It was even served in a sizzling skillet, just on a plate. It was sad. They did bring us fresh baked bread and we kept asking for more. It's fantastic! If a place has good bread, why muck it up with oil and cheese or butter. It's tasty without and theirs is awesome! All was made better in the world, at least, for me, as I followed it up with Avgolrmono soup. There's is still one of the better ones around. The flavoring is just right, not too tart from the lemons, some rice, but not overly so. Just a nice soup to cleanse the pallet. I ordered the Chicken Breast A La Dimitri. It's sauteed in white wine, lemon, and special spices and served with rice. Hey Dimitri, lay off the sauce! My chicken need life preservers. There was so much sauce that the rice was making a chain to help save the chicken from drowning. The flavor was okay and that was probably do to them serving me soup with chicken on a plate instead of lemon chicken. I'm not one who sends food back, but I left half of it because it had drowned and was not worth recovering. My wife got the Greek salad and said it was good (seriously, if you're a Greek restaurant and you screw up a Greek salad, then I don't know how to help you). She said no olives and it wasn't served with olives. Put that in the "win column". We'll go back, as we do like this place. I just will order something different as I'm not a certified lifeguard.

The service was very friendly and i loved my lemon soup. The other foods were just okay. I got two sides of potatoes and okra for my meal cause none of the larger entrees appealed to me too much. Both dishes were prepared well and very tender but I found it rather bland. We also ordered a wine recommended by our waiter and the custardy dessert which were both just okay. Parking is VERY tight, though valet is offered.

Outstanding Greek food. Best Saginaki I've had in years. Pastitio was fantastic for me and my wife had the braised lamb shank. Awesome!!! Service great w wine recommendations and attention to the table. I know Greek and this place is killer!

Haven't been here for years but food was good .. service okay .. I'd go back for sure ..

My second time going to Mykonos Greek Restaurant in a month. I gave it 4 stars because of the Avgolemono Lemon Egg Soup, it had too much rice and lemon for my taste. We started out with the lemon soup followed by splitting a Saganaki, we both ordered the Combination Platter that had enough for a second meal. We both ordered dessert. I had Spumoni Ice Cream and my guest had Rice Pudding which she took home after a few spoonfuls. It was so big. The coffee was very good and fresh. Our waiter Alexander was top-notch and very attentive, always around to see if we needed anything. The bus boys were very good as well, making us a new pot of coffee for our refill.

This is my favorite Greek restaurant in the country and one of my top 3 go-to places in the NW Chicago suburbs. The service is friendly and very attentive, and the food is beyond amazing. Do yourself a favor and order the "flaming cheese" -- a lot of it! Opa!

Beautiful interior, white tablecloths and the feel of a fresh island getaway. Server was polite and prompt. Wine, sauvignon blanc, was crisp and tasty. Food was very mediocre. Saganaki, although presented with style, was chewy, rubbery, and tasteless. Leg of lamb ($32!) was leathery, overcooked and came swimming in a watery, tasteless brine -- probably from the old, limp, tasteless stewed beans which were served adjacent on the plate. Awful. Accommodating server tried to help, replaced dish with an equally unappetizing plate. Feels like the stuff is frozen, old, and microwaved. Pork souvlaki fared better, but not good enough to bring us back. WE tried.

I went here one evening for a friends birthday. It was a small group and they weren't too busy. It had nice music- live Greek band and the ambiance was dark/blue light vibe. I started with a Strawberry Daiquiri, which they don't seem to have on the menu. It was strong, but fruity and refreshing- Ordered the flaming cheese as an appetizer and pastitsio for my entree. The food was really authentic and flavorful. I would come back here to try additional items. My main issue was our server. He was really slow and often took forever to get us drinks, food, etc. My entree ended up coming out before my appetizer, which didn't make any sense. I also asked him twice about it since it was taking so long. He didn't really care lol When my appetizer came out like 5 min after my entree- he barely lit it on fire and just placed it down. Other servers gave more of a presentation- maybe he was having a bad day? Regardless, the food was so great I would come back! Overall experience 4/5.

We always dine in Mykonos, i called to order lamb shank, the manager said they have it, on the menu it only showed braised lamb, but when I called them the manager said yes we have lamb shank, when I went to pick it up, the container was so small, the meat was not shank just two bones with little meat, and two small potatoes and small serving of green beans, and small piece of bread, hardly enough for a little child, paid $37.50 for it. Very disappointed with the whole thing, this place was our favorite Greek restaurant to go to, one of the oldest restaurants in our area. Very bad Very bad Very bad Rocky

Terrible overpriced old food ! stale bread gyro meat cold and old not fresh . PITA BREAD was even nasty. I can't IMAGINE what the kitchen looks like , I FEAR what with one would find . Do not go there , politely complained to server and hostess , became a bit angry .

Big shout out and kudos to Meli, our server! She was friendly, attentive and so gracious in explaining various menu items. The food was delicious from appetizers to dessert, it was an enjoyable dining experience.

Food was delicious, service was excellent, easy parking access, we had a holiday party, and we had an excellent evening. We would definitely come back again. Highly recommend Mykonos.

How on earth this place currently has 3.5 stars is beyond me. Everything I've had from here so far has been excellent, but I'll review my favorite 2 items to start. The Avgolemono Soup - Near perfection. The right consistency and full of punch with plenty of lemon. I get this every time I order and you should too. 5/5 Dolmades - I have a VERY hard time finding this dish done correctly. I am Greek and my Aunt makes this a couple times a year for family gatherings just as my YaYa used to when I was young. I was really surprised at how amazing they did and it's what prompted me to write this review. If you love this dish as much as I do you will not be disappointed. The portion is very large and comes with a Greek potato. The cream sauce is just right and the meat flavor is very much what I am used to. 5/5 Since we have a young one I am limited to where I can go out and actually sit down so I can only speak for the food but Mykonos gets 5 stars from me, try them out today!

We have been going to Mykonos for 40 years. It always been one of our favorite restaurants and considered their food better than any Greek restaurant in Greek town. Over the years we've had birthday and anniversary parties there were and always pleased with the food and service. Tonight was our first disappointing visit. The restaurant was busy, a couple large parties leaving, people arriving. Although we arrived before most other parties the hostess failed to seat us first and only offered a half hearted apology when she finally got to us after seating everyone else. Our waiter was very busy but took our drink order then our appetizer order, both of which arrived promptly. He then took our main course orders and we waited a considerable amount of time for our food. Four of us were finally served, two others had to wait further for their food, no explanation given. My food was lukewarm at best. I had lamb with artichokes. The sauce was thin without lemon flavor. At that point I just wrote it all off to an off evening. We received our bill and paid. Before leaving my pointed out that at the bottom of the bill was a sentence indicating that Mykonos was charged 3% for using a credit card. I consider this to be nothing more than a rip off by the owners. Merchants have always been charged a fee by credit card companies and I am the fee was always included in the price of whatever products they were selling. Since we paid the bill and gave the waiter a 20% plus tip there was nothing I could do. Going forward, whether it's Mykonos or any other restaurant which tacks on this fee, I will only leave a 17% tip, 20% less my 3% service fee. You may consider me petty, but no more so than the owners of Mykonos.

Very nice place . Nice decor. They have cloth table clothes. The village salad is very tasty. The Greek bread was perfect . The wait staff were attentive . They kept filling our water classes . We had wine that was a combustion of two wines. The spinach pie tasted better today as I reheated it in the oven for lunch. I will probably go try the lunch special's. Nice delicious resturant. They also have entertainment on some nights

Normally Greek places is always good I was disappointed about Mykonos Visiting friends we were 7 people Shaganaki cheese was THE worse I had Food was overrated Gyros meat tasted old and too lamby Not good at all Wine was over priced Vivino had the wine for $7 a bottle they priced if at $38 And service was not friendly The only nice experience I had was the valet parking guy and the hostess friendly

They have live music every Friday evening, the vibes were good and we started with the lightly fried zucchini and a thick garlic dip puree that I could've probably used for everything, it was that good. Saganaki is a classic, and and the cheese is briny and pan seared to be finished by the table. One thing I haven't tried before though is this baked feta with meli topped with regular or spicy honey and sesame seeds. It was sweet and savory from the feta. The soup was lemony and viscous. The octopus and he gyro appetizer platter are also standards in the greek cuisine so we had to try those as well, both were decent. Greek Village Salad was a nice break from the heavier dishes and cut through the protein focused meal. The entrees were all good and it was nice to try everything since we split all of the dishes amongst five people. The Greek Frappe was rich and thick topped with ice. Lastly the desserts were both marvelous and overall this is a solid spot for greek food in the Chicago suburbs.

Quality + authentic Greek food + drinks + service + ambiance. Reasonable prices. Cool bar.

Don't let the dated exterior fool you. Yes, this place is still open for business, and yes, the food is fresh and served piping hot! Everything we tried was very tasty. The saganaki was salty, hot, and cheesy, and the pork tenderloin appetizer was nicely charred and delivered savory flavor. I tried a special that Saturday night, and it was chicken, spinach, and cheese wrapped in phyllo dough with rice as a side. Huge portion for about $19, and I had enough leftovers for 2 more sittings! I thoroughly enjoyed the lemon martini I ordered. My girls split a pasta dish with chicken tenders on top, which was basic and pricey at about $23, but they enjoyed it, and it was well prepared and kid friendly. Note there isn't a kids' menu at all though. Pre-dinner loaf of bread is served, but ours was refrigerated. The energy here was upbeat. Interior is remodeled, and there's an enclosed, heated patio section too, which is on the loud side. Note the parking lot is extremely congested and a headache to navigate! Our waitress seemed stressed and was a bit curt and gave only the minimal attention needed to our table. She had brought a platter of soup over to us, and when I asked what kind it was (assuming it came with our entrees), she gruffly answered with whatever the flavor of the day was and added "you ordered it...". When I told her we indeed did not, she just took the bowls back and walked away without a word. Overall, recommend if in the area, but Plateia has them beat across the board.

Food: Excellent. I ordered the lamb chops and they were delicious! Ordered them with a side of Greek potatoes. Very good! If you enjoy Greek food, you will for sure be happy with this place. Service: Also excellent. Our server was really good at refilling our drinks and making sure we had what we needed. Ambiance: It's really cute inside. A downside is that it does feel crammed as it is a small building. You are seated pretty close to everybody else. The parking situation is pretty bad as well. We had a hard time with that. The parking lot is super small! Overall, I do recommend this restaurant if you love Greek food!

How do I love this place? Let me count the ways! The outdoor seating is just utterly charming and the atmosphere really does remind me of being in the Greek islands. The food is just about perfection--I have never had a bad meal here, and I go fairly often. The service is always quick and professional, and very friendly. I tried something new with the baby octopus appetizer, and loved it. Of course the spanakopita is always delicious, and all the entrees I've had have been out of this world. We always finish with a Greek coffee and a piece of homemade baklava, and we've always lingered over coffee for a long time with no problems. They make you feel very welcome. They do have valet parking, and I would make reservations for faster seating. Spend an evening in the Greek Islands and try this place--it's awesome!

I usually don't write reviews but this place has the worst Greek food I have ever tried and the owners are Greek too their supposed to know how it should taste. My friend tried fish and you could tell is was so old, smelled so bad to the point where no one could eat something like that. Their gyro meat is was frozen and steal. Their musaka smelled like it was cooked with old burned oils. One of the owners is supposed to be a Greek food connoisseur but apparently don't taste the food that they serve. The pretend to serve fresh ingredients but eveeything seemed that it seats in the back for days before it's served. Service was bad too. The waiters gather up at the hostess desk and talk and laugh without paying attention to costumers. Very bad experience each time I been there!

Their Greek Salad was very good but the dressing was not traditional and lacked oregano spice which I always like with feta The Gyros meat was excellent and a much higher quality than found in fast food places. I liked the Spanakopita and would order that again. It was made perfectly. I just thought the price was too high and would have liked an appetizer order portion. Service was attentive and I would recommend this restaurant.

Awesome outdoor setting for the suburbs. Drinks were very good. Service very good. The entrees and apps that were veggies were very good. Each time I've eaten here I've been disappointed with the meat and fish options. They are pretty average. I've had hit or miss experiences with the desert as well. Once it was awesome, another time not very good.

This is a traditional Greek restaurant in the heart of a Chicagoland suburb that has a lot of Greek people, restaurants, shops etc. (Niles, IL). As there are some very average Greek restaurants, Mykonos isn't one of them. From the waiters (professional service) to the type of food offered, this place is top notch; not cheap but not prohibitively expensive either, it's also great for groups as they have large seating areas, including an enclosed tend that is over part of their parking lot. Being Greek, I am very particular about restaurant Greek food; this is a place I would gladly come back again.

Mila was wonderful and very helpful with recommendation. Everything was so good! The environment was great.

Very nice, clean restaurant. The food we had was great, and a nice amount. A very authentic "Greek" experience

Was so excited to try this place! I went with a friend and we ordered: *Avgolemono (not pictured) *Horiatiki Salata *Saganaki (not pictured) *Pastitsio *Pork Souvlaki Everything was absolutely delicious and we had the most amazing server! Eleni was so sweet and so hospitable! She not only gave us so many refills and bread but she even came all the way outside to say bye to us. Such a wonderful experience! Can't wait to come back!

Never understood the hype. The portions are very small and the servers took sooooo long to bring the food out even though my girlfriend and I only ordered one plate of food. There were also little flies that started flying around our bread basket. The tables were also sticky when we sat down. My girlfriend immediately asked me to tell the waiter we want to move to a different table, which we later did. We came in on a Wednesday night and there wasn't too many people in. Our waiter was nice though, but the food quality tasted the same as anywhere else. Omega right down the street has a bigger Gyro platter with 2x of everything on this plate for a little cheaper.

Friendly service, a warm welcome after a not so friendly experience at Plateia! The restaurant was pretty inside. Food tasted like comfort food, but it did seem like much of it was pre-made and reheated. My husband said the combination plate tasted homemade. The lemon soup was very tangy, and I wish it had chicken in it for some substance. But thankfully food wasn't drenched in olive oil like many other Greek restaurants we've tried. The restaurant was surprisingly packed on a Monday night, and patrons seemed to be having a good time and enjoying their meals.

Food and service by Niko was top star. Everything came out fast and was delicious. Great atmosphere as well.

Meleke was great!!! She treated us like family, in a good way, and she made everyone feel comfortable! She went out of her way to make our mom's birthday special!! Food was great, as always!

The food was very good. I would recommend the saganaki and salad of ancient Greeks. My husband liked his pastichio a lot. I had one of the lamb dishes.

We were in the mood for Greek food and in the mood to eat outside, so off to Mykonos we go! Depending on the day and or time, there may or may not be valet service. We came on a Saturday evening and there was valet. It's complimentary but please have a few dollars ready later for a gratuity. There is an awesome outdoor patio. We sat in the section covered by vines. There is a fountain in the center and a bar on the other side. Eating there reminds me of eating in Greece! Food is excellent. We started off with a trio of spreads--so good. The cod roe spread seemed to be popular based on what I see at other tables. I was in the mood for something meaty so I got the souvlaki. The sides were rice, potato and peas. My hubby got the roasted lamb. For dessert, we shared a galactoboureko. Opa!

What is happening at this restaurant ? It was absolutely disappointing! This is a neighborhood Greek restaurant that I've gone to in the past, so I decided to have a quick dinner tonight . The only positive was the nice warm bread at the start of our meal. You'd think this would be easy right? WRONG! The service was sooooo slooooow! The saganaki was hard and underwhelming- should have been cooked longer. The entrees were just meh. Chicken kabob was cold, dry, didn't come with sauce and came with salty rice. The pastitzio was too cinnamony. The spanakopita was very dry, the fillo was very hard to bite, like it had been siting and was re-heated. The service was bad- our server forgot to take one of our orders and skipped them altogether and we had to find another server to tell our server we needed one more entree. The server didn't check back with us often and basically disappeared -By the time he came around it was too late. Sad to say I will never be back. The only thing I can think of is maybe the owners have changed?

This is one of the few restaurants I had the guts to dine in during COVID. It was one of those cold October nights and they still had outdoor seating during the "return to phase 3 - aka no dine in for restaurants". Their outdoor seating was equipped with heaters all over the place, all tables were socially distant and the entire staff had their masks on. I'm glad this place is being COVID cautious and listening to science rather than conspiracy theories. The menu is extensive and there are so many options for you to choose from. I was there with my parents and fiancé and we each decided to try a main course. My father wanted to try everything, so he went with the Combination Platter. What a genius idea to have that as a main course. I had the Dolmades, my fiancé had the Beef Kabob and my mother had the Moussaka. The food came out quick and everything tasted beyond mouthwatering and delicious. They even gave us complimentary sourdough bread(not sure what type of bread it was but I believe it was sourdough) and butter at the beginning. I'm not usually a bread person but I had two large slices myself. My parents vacation in Greece almost every other year and they said the food tasted just like it does in Greece. Authentic and delicious. This place is definitely a must try & don't worry about COVID, this place knows exactly what they're doing.

We have been coming to this restaurant for at least 15 years. Something has definitely changed. Wondering if it has been sold? The food is definitely lacking in taste and size. There is no longer a busy patio or dining room. Very sad to see this restaurant fall below expectations.

Major Catering Success We reached out to Mykonos 9 days before a huge party to see if they could handle our catering order for over 100 people. A different Greek restaurant, with whom we had plans, had a change of heart and surprised us by turning down our order at the last minute. Of course we were relieved that Mykonos was able to take the handoff, but the best was yet to come. "Catering" consisted of preparing and delivering the food. No set up or serving. Everything arrived exactly at the pre-arranged time and still steaming. Our order consisted of a broad menu variety including Greek chicken, shrimp skewers, chicken skewers, veggie moussaka, pastitio, meatballs, Greek salad, green beans, potatoes and more. With no exception, everything was properly cooked, well seasoned, beautifully presented and well-packed for the 11 mile travel to our house. Preparing, packing and delivering a large food order has many fail points. We were delighted that Mykonos clearly had the process down and completely exceeded our expectations for delivery, food quality and tastiness.

Authentic, friendly and great service. Waiter is from Greece and knew menu well. We sat inside but patio is lovely too...live music

Absolutely great food that was only matched by the excellent service we received during our meal. Our waitress, Meli, was absolutely amazing! She was super personable and kind, and also was super knowledgeable about every item we had asked about on the menu. We were a 12+ person table, and Meli didn't miss a beat with her service. I completely recommend Mykonos, and especially Meli, to anyone looking for quality Greek food.

The ambience is warm and cozy. The room is well lighted, with windows surrounding the dining area. Service is outstanding and the food is authentic Greek. I had the Dolmades and the egg-lemon sauce was perfect! Ask for a Greek coffee after your meal and always say 'efharisto' to your wait staff. Opa!

The food, atmosphere, and staff are all amazing. The Saganaki is to die for as well as the octopus. A must visit if you're in the area or not. Try the food stay for the music and the year round outdoor patio

The most amazing restaurant in Illinois! Me and my family have been coming here for years and it is ALWAYS a hit with the kids! They never miss on the fried beer-battered zucchini, and the avgolemono is outstanding! I came here last week and decided to try the baby lamb chops, and let me tell you, I have NEVER had lamb like that before! Everything is perfectly delicious and the servers are all Greek adding to the atmosphere! Will definitely be coming back for the live music with my husband!

My family and I have been coming here for over 30 years and counting, and the Greek food is amazing! The waiters, and the owners are nicest people you will ever meet. Their food has so much variety and it is very authentic Greek. The ambiance is also beautiful and has a Greek theme and decor that makes you feel as though you are in Mykonos. Not to mention on Fridays they have wonderful Greek music playing! And you can dance and sing! Opa!

Best Greek food around that didn't come out of my kitchen Great atmosphere and excellent staff/service makes this our go to spot when eating out. Always take out of town guests here to share our favorite restaurant .... the outdoor area has wonderful ambiance. The place we go for special family celebrations as well and they do a great job with large parties.

We've been going to Mykonos for 40+ years and it's a weekly dining spot to this day. Food is amazing and always consistent. Ambiance is so nice both inside and outside the tent which opens or closes to the sky depending on the weather. The servers have remained the same over the years and are the best in the industry. Always makes you feel at home and welcomed. We consider Mykonos our family.
