Best place to get Greek in Bartlett. It looks as if it's another mediocre strip mall place. Ambrosia is a lot better than it looks. Has a lot of the classic favorites on the menu. They also have combos so you can get lots and be saving. At lunch it wasn't crowded. It's got a counter to order. The rest of the area has plenty of tables. After ordering get a table and they will bring it. We were able to find lots of possible selections. It's about $9 for the Falafel Pita, and add a few more bucks to make it a combo. This adds a drink and fries. Everything was better than expected. The prices are okay and you get a lot. Certainly could get another lunch from here. It's located on Route 59 at Stearns. The menu says which items are okay for vegetarians. read more

Ambrosia Greek Eatery - Falafel Pita Combo - Greek Near Me - Bartlett, Illinois

The restaurant is nice and clean. The lady working at the front register was really nice and attentive. My husband ordered the Pistachio dinner. It came with a cup of soup, Greek potatoes, and rice. He said it was good. I ordered the Saganakl and was shocked that it did not come with any bread or crackers. It was good though. We will definitely be back again soon to try different items. read more

I ordered catering for a party from Ambrosia and everyone raved about it! The chicken was so tender and flavorful. The potatoes were delicious. We will definitely order from here again. read more

We were greeted right away by a very friendly young gentleman. We had never been there before so we needed some time to look over the menu. He suggested we take a seat at a table and he would take our order when ready. He was very kind and polite! We ordered the chicken gyros on a plate which was absolutely delicious. Menu states that it's hand carved which I'm not sure if that means it's still spit roasted or not but it was different than the typical chicken gyros I've had at other places. This looked and tasted like actual chicken rather than pressed meat so as a health conscious person, I loved this! The chicken was tender & juicy. It came with Greek potatoes and rice that had a delicious (lemony) gravy on top along with a soft, warm pita. The 2nd meal we ordered was the pastichio dinner. I've never had pastichio before so I wasn't sure what to expect. It's basically baked pasta (like a ziti noodle), ground meat & cheese casserole topped with bechamel sauce. Like the chicken gyros, it came with the same potatoes and rice but this dinner also came with soup or salad. I chose the avgolemono soup because it's my favorite. It's basically a creamy rice, egg & chicken soup with lemon! I'm a bit picky when it comes to the temperature of soup as I believe it should be hot. It wasn't scorching hot but it was definitely the right temperature of hot. I have nothing negative to say about our experience tonight. The service was outstanding. The food was delicious. Portions and prices were just right. Actually, with the cost increase of dining out these days, Ambrosia is very reasonable. The decor gave you the feeling of fun & casual dining in a Greek atmosphere. The restaurant was very clean, including the bathrooms! My only regret is not having been there sooner. I've lived in the next town over for over 2 decades and never knew Ambrosia was there. It doesn't help that there isn't a big sign displaying all the businesses in that strip mall either. I actually stumbled upon the place on Yelp when I did a search for Greek cuisine. Most of the local "Mediterranean" restaurants and chains will carry some Greek items but not like Ambrosia. When I actually see lamb on a menu, I know it's authentic Greek cuisine. Speaking of lamb, I want to try their of leg of lamb dinner! There are so many more things I'd like to try. I can't wait to go back! read more

Absolutely love this place. The food is outstanding and service is great. The owner might be the sweetest person you'll ever meet. The inside is Greek traditions and very comfortable. The chicken souvlaki is 10/10. Rice and potatoes are so tasty. read more

Best in the west. Chicken gyros is my go to. And don't forget the baklava. Chow !!!!!!!!

As a 100% greek,i have finally found a place where i can enjoy good tasty and fresh food just like in my home country. Greece in one plate. I have been in many greek restaurants,but they are nothing compared to Ambrosia. They don't remind me of Greece like Ambrosia does. The music and the atmosphere was welcoming aswell as the Owner (Joanna) which served my food with a big smile:) If you want to enjoy aunthetic greek food just go to Ambrosia the food of the greek gods... read more

Food is good Employees are very friendly Pricing is fair. Resturant is nicely done up.

Casual dining where you order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. Avgolemono $5 - Tasty chicken broth, rice, and creamy egg lemon soup. Falafel (4) $5 - Crunchy and flavorful bites. Gyro on a pita $10 - I like how the tzatziki sauce is served on the side. Good tasting gyro. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2024 read more

Plenty of food but the gyro meat on the combo platter had a funky old taste. The pastitsio was tasty, but so over cooked some of the pasta was so dry you couldn't cut it. Everything was way over salty and no flavor but salt and lemon including the potatoes. The freshness was very questionable. read more

Staff is so pleasant and easygoing and food is delicious! Love the gyros, Greek potatoes, and rice!

I had the best chicken kabob wrap and my friend got the chicken dinner which had both rice and potatoes. They were some of the best greek potatoes Ive ever had. The portions were huge. I can't wait to order from here again. read more

Unfortunately my dining experience last night was no where close to 4/5 star worthy and here is why; I went last night with a buddy around 7:45 and the restaurant was practically empty, other than some carry out orders. We both ended up ordering the same thing, the egg soup and the Ambrosia salad with Chicken gyro. The young lady who took our order also served us and although she asked if we wanted the 12oz/16oz soup, what came out was lukewarm soup in a coffee cup (no where close to 12oz). The taste was good but I wish it was warmer for a cold evening. My salad came out with very large pieces of ice burg lettuce that wasn't bothered being cut. I had to bring it back to her and she was kind enough to cut it into smaller pieces. The chicken 'gyro' was not like gyro meat off the spit, it was pieces of chicken that had been sautéed. My buddy found the taste gamy and didn't eat most of his. The salad has walnuts but the walnuts were either stale or gone bad and it tasted rancid, very common with walnuts that are stale. As a die hard Pita Inn fan (I know it's not Greek), Unfortunately, I won't be returning here. read more

Well, it was hard visiting Ambrosia during Lent and my fast from meat until Easter. However, I was able to try a crispy falafel pita with fresh cut French fries. I can't wait to return and try a gyro or the roasted chicken that everyone around me seemed to be enjoying. The staff here are so friendly and family oriented. They went out of their way to greet our gathering and offered us each a slice of sweet, flaky baklava. The tables and chairs were a little sticky, but overall, this place has a warm, cozy feel with rich and flavorful food served by caring people. read more

Delicious homemade, fresh to order Greek fare. You cannot miss the Greek Chicken, it melts in your mouth. Greek potatoes and rice round out a perfect meal. Oh, and the lemon rice soup ... amazing! The patroness is sweet and friendly! A gem in the northwest suburbs. read more

Ordered the Dolmades Plate with extra Dolmades and the Ambrosia Combo also with extra dolmades. The Dolmades were the size of my baby finger, and I'm sorry to say everything from the Avgolemono soup to the Greek potatoes, including the Dolmades, had an EXTREMELY bitter lemon and VERY peppery (HOT) taste. They must use the entire lemon, including the bitter white pith from the lemon rind in everything they make. I use pepper in my cooking too, but not to a level that only some can tolerate. It's a shame, everything looked so good, but most of the $40 worth of food ordered wasn't edible. The Pastichio and Gyros, that were in small sample portions included in the Ambrosia Combo, were the only items that were a bit less bitter and peppery. I had such high hopes, because I like Greek food, and personally I crave Dolmades, but sadly that was the first and last time ordering from there. read more

We ordered 4 gyros plates and they were not very good. We were very disappointed as this has been our local go to for Greek food. Then worst of all my husband found a long hair in his gyros. That's it sorry we won't be going back. read more

The food here is utterly amazing! My friend and I were passing through town and stopped here for lunch. I love Greek food and I'm pregnant so I took the chance on this random little place- boy am I thrilled I did! The menu is big, and the portions are too! The owner is beautiful and insanely nice, she could be anybody's grandma! As soon as I saw her, I knew the food was going to be killer. She came over and talked with us and made us feel right at home. We got a few different dishes to try and every one of them was simply incredible!! We live an hour away, and we both kept saying the rest of the day we couldn't wait to come back! read more

Ambrosia Greek Eatery - Chicken Gyro, hummus and Side Hummus with pita, Side Dolmades(gone), Falafel dinner, Gyros, Greek Fries. - Greek Near Me - Bartlett, Illinois

A counter-serve eatery with the traditional blue/white decor, Ambrosia isn't really "fast food" but rather falls into the category of casual food quickly. We had quite a sampling at our table, including the appetizer combo, and the Kalamata olive spread was the standout. Very nice. My personal selection was the "Greek Burger" - beef patty served "Greek style" which was sliced as if it were gyro meat, and placed on a pita with traditional toppings of tzatziki, tomato, and onions. The patty was slightly seasoned and quality beef. I took a side of "Greek Fries" (always will) seasoned french fries topped with herbs and feta. With extra tzatziki, you could construct your own version of poutine, ala Greek, but I didn't, instead using the spread as a nice dip for the fries. Four persons, $62 including fountain drinks. Worth it. The food was great, and the service accomodating. read more

Ambrosia is the best, and probably one of the few Greek restaurants in its area and going out further northwest into the Chicago suburbs. I've enjoyed their food for years. Their chicken gyros and Greek fries are amazing. I've always had great dining experiences here. The service is quick, ambience is lovely and fresh. 5 out of 5 stars always. read more

Came here when they first opened and the prices weee outrageous. Food was good but not worth what they charge. I did a search today on cheap eats and this place came up. It's not cheap here. It's overpriced for what you get. This is why I left a review. read more

The food, service and it is real clean. A great dining experience. Staff is friendly and very attentive.

We were in the area running errands and decided to try Ambrosia Greek Eatery. We pulled in the parking lot and ordered our food, waited 25 minutes, went in and grabbed it and drove 25 minutes home. So, so good. We ordered a couple Chicken Gyro Pitas, an Ambrosia Combo, a Mediterranean Spread, a small Avgolemono soup and a Tiropita Plate. Our order was correct and even after a 25 minute drive home, it was still warm... and everything was DELICIOUS (oh my gosh, the rice; I usually don't like rice unless it is surrounded by fish and rolled in seaweed, but this rice is really so good). I was super impressed with the price too! I'm glad Ambrosia's is on the way home from my sons house. I can visit my new grandson and stop here and grab dinner on my way home! read more

"What do you mean you don't eat no meat?! That's ok. I make lamb." If you're looking for some delicious Greek food, look no further! Ambrosia is always cooking up fresh, authentic Greek food that will make your mouth water the moment you step in! My husband and I have been here before, but most recently was after an evening at the pool so we decided to grab our food and go. We were in and out so quickly, it's like they knew we were coming and what we would order! This time I ordered the Greek chicken which comes with rice and potatoes. (CARBS!) I ordered tsatziki on the side for dipping. Ohhh man, the chicken was slow cooking all day because it was literally falling off the bone and into my mouth. I wish there was a little more chicken, but my belly was full and happy so no major complaints there. The hubby had the gyro and thoroughly enjoyed every bite of it. On previous visits we've had the chicken souvlaki as well which is amazing!! You have GOT to try Ambrosia's!! read more

Decent if over priced lunch. Came here with a friend after seeing they were recently on "Chicago's Best", I had Ambrosia combo with Greek Fries and a drink. $20. Honestly think the $12.99 for to combo should've included the drink, but oh well... I'd also have preferred to pass on the Dolmades and Pasticcio and replace them with a small order of Greek Fries as they weren't that great IMO. The order of Grerk Fries were enough for us to share tho, and for $3.75 they should be! Flavor on the Gyor meat was good, not great, the rice was alright and the potatoes were good. This place loves the Oregano and Lemon juice a little too much tho and I'd suggest they tone it down a bit. Overall I'd come back to try their other dishes if I was nearby, but Kabob Kitchen in Dundee is still the best casual Greek spot I've found in the area. read more

Let's start with the good stuff. Great sides. Potatoes and rice are amazing. Those get 5 stars. Greek salad is solid too. Pastichio was pretty good. Although not using traditional macaroni noodles reminds me of what home chefs do. Sort of takes something away. Also the pork souvlaki was just okay. Now the bad. My wife hated the spanakopita. Dolmades had a watery sauce and were soggy. Gyros also very soft. No char on a flat top at all. And the chicken, which we saw on TV, tastes nothing like traditional Greek chicken. I know since I'm 100% Greek. We want to love this place since it is close by. Greek Islands and Naxos are 3 times the distance, but those are really good restaurants. Even Basil's is pretty good. Hoping the owners try to improve the taste and texture of most of their main courses. Will try them again down the road to see if anything has improved. But I'm not optimistic. read more

Great food with even greater staff. Food was super flavorful and fresh. The two women behind the desk were some of the nicest and most helpful ladies I've met. Will surely be coming back! read more
