ⓈⓐⓋⓐⒼⓔ ℬ: Best Gyros in the city. Free private parking. Extra Tzatziki sauce!
Chicagoist: The gyros here are tender, juicy and seasoned to perfection, served with liberal amounts of tzatziki sauce and thick-cut fries. Read more.
Mar Mar: Casual, family-style Greek food. Seriously, this place has real Greek food that is not just gyros and kabobs. Try something new, you won't be disappointed!

Bjorn S: Tasty and well seasoned beef kebabs along with amazing tzatziki. Fries weren't too good as they were a bit soggy. Great selection of beer, both domestic and foreign! Highlight: Belgium beers
Time Out Chicago: Hit up this trendy restaurant when you want Greek munchies like the Florina peppers (two roasted red peppers stuffed with creamy feta), loukaniko (a pork-lamb sausage) and huge gyro platters.

ben m: The whole staff is great. Tons of great options. Some favorites: saganaki, Athenian salad, broiled salmon, Lake Superior white fish tail, gyros (extra tzatziki). Hot Lima beans may be the star.
Fernando Covas: One of the best for fresh, healthy, and simply prepared seafood. Whole grilled fish is the way to go, as is the octopus. Don't overlook their veggies: try the horta (braised greens), okra, and beets.
Explore Chicago: Greek Island is the staple of Greek Town, importing wines, olives oil, oregano, honey and olives straight from Greece. Try their distinctive lima beans and Colorado lamb.

Mediterranean Restaurant · Fulton Market · 21 tips and reviews
Ramsen: The Aloe it’s Me drink is probably best on the menu. Spicy and sweet. Shawarma and the hummus are awesome too (shawarma is basically a sliced steak and not actually shawarma but still fantastic).
Miro Vejchoda: Great food and atmosphere
Bianca: The perfect place for an afternoon bite. All the dishes are fresh and tasty-spreads served with warm pita, slices of beef, grilled brussels sprouts. The octopus was disappointing (too mushy)

Caitlin Brown: Such a fun place any time of the year or day! Great for groups, clean and exciting atmosphere with fun picture spots. Everywhere is instagrammable 😉
Preston K: Awesome neighborhood restaurant and bar. Great pizza, drinks and atmosphere.
Ryan Pavey: Really hard to get a table. Long wait for a table in a bar that’s already packed
Jenny Pfafflin: Be sure to visit the deli counter in the back to pick up some fresh feta; a dozen falafel; or a spinach-and-cheese and lamb pie (amongst others). Homemade lentil soup, too!
David Bell: Love the Baklava!
Darrell: The folks who work here are the nicest people on the planet. Really. The food is great, with a selection of fresh foods, grains, spices, and fruits. The people are better.

V: Their pancakes w Nutella are so amazing!!! Super delicious breakfast/lunch spot. Chic and classic interior, I'm in love!!
Mary Ann Kowalczyk: Red Velvet French Toast is amazing. The Pear Splash is good but sometimes too much ginger. Great friendly service :) Chocolate milk was good too! Mmmm
Antonia Strotdrees: Have the Loraine Scramble for savoury, and Banana Nut Pancakes for sweet 👌🏼
