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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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!
