Our double date crew has a tradition of meeting in Wheaton as the perfect geographic middle ground,…read moreand this time we wanted Greek. Molos did not just deliver, it set a new standard for our little group dinners. We started with the Pikilia tasting plate and built our own trio of spreads. The roasted red pepper hummus was the unanimous table favorite, bold and deeply flavorful. The melitzanosalata was earthy and subtly sweet, a quieter but beautiful complement. The tirokafteri was good on its own but genuinely shone when swirled together with the other two. And the pita. That pita. Pillowy and soft with just enough structure to carry a generous pile of spread without collapsing. Outstanding. The fried zucchini with skordalia was fresh and light tasting despite being fried, a real trick. The potatoes needed a touch more salt to fully wake up but were otherwise solid. The saganaki was a table highlight, lit tableside with a proper OPA moment, gooey and beautifully crisped on top. Think mozzarella stick that went to finishing school. Mains were all exceptional. The filet mignon was wonderfully cooked, the EVO lemon sauce bringing a bright refreshing contrast to the richness of the beef. The pork chops were well charred and seasoned with the same confidence. The chicken ala feta was bright, light, and satisfying all at once. Dessert was a sampler of everything on the menu, all some gorgeous variation of creamy whipped filling, phyllo dough, honey, and nuts. Every single one cohesive and complementary. We tried them all and had no notes. We sat outside on a lovely evening, left with leftovers for days, and paid a price that felt almost unreasonably fair for what we got. Excited to go back and try more of their menu!

The menu and the space are a lot bigger than when I was here in 2022. Prices have also gone up, at…read moreleast for the mains; that's life. The atmosphere is still delightful with little sparkle lights along the windows and plenty of outdoor seating. They've added an Instagram wall ("Ouzo made me do it"). They now have a proper roasted Greek potato on the menu, and a vegetarian moussaka which I'm very excited about. Vegetarian items still not labeled; GF are. For mains, and vegetarians can get the spanakopita; a buttered macaroni with cheese; or combine various tasty dips from the appetizer section. There's also salad which I ignore. The online menu has a few appetizers I didn't see (zucchini with skordalia! Oven-baked lima beans!). Warning, at least where I was sitting: the booths can move (not nailed down) - be careful when you get up. I got the chef's special spanakopita/tiropita and the roasted potato; be very specific when ordering as I was served the special "Molos Greek potato" with garlic yogurt and shredded cheese, which was fine but not what I wanted. The spanakopita and tiropita were tasty, with a good ratio between filo and filling, served on a folded cloth napkin (great idea, even perfect filo-wrapped items can be a bit greasy). Service started a little slow, as there was apparently a big party (they do that and they cater now). It was OK though I'm not sure English was my server's first language. I'll be back for the moussaka, which looks great (someone at the next table ordered it) and will be very precise when ordering my roasted Greek potato. Hopefully with a side of giant lima beans in tomato sauce.

Overall (A-) This place is really good and tastes exactly…read morelike it did when I last visited. Great safe bet place for Greek Food. Value (B) It is a bit pricey but not too bad around $35/person for lunch for 2 and an appetizer. They have a small plates menu which might be the lunch menu. Service (A) Excellent friendly and polite service. Got the food out fairly fast. And waitstaff was super nice and respectful. Even packed up the leftovers- did a great job Food (A-) I got the combination plate and it tasted exactly how it did 20 years ago. This is both a positive and a negative. Taste was excellent - especially the lamb, meatballs and sauce over the rice and dolmas. Great portion size also. Will get stuff. Came with potatoes and veggies. On the negative it tasted very heavy. I was expecting it to be "lighter". Not sure I am describing it correctly. I am going to order it again as it's excellent but I think I am eating a ton of butter and or oil. Maybe I am not but something gave it the heavy feel. Also with bread service - I appreciate they provide it but feels very 90s. Thr bread was okay and the butter was the small little packages of butter. So I really do like this place and am being overly critical so I would strongly recommend going for a safe bet Greek place. My recommendations for them 1. Too many options on the menu - need to skinny it down 2. Higher quality bread and butter 3. An actual simple lunch menu. Would have loved a combination plate lunch portion for $16.99 vs a dinner portion at $25.99

Food excellent! Went on a Sunday at 2pm thinking we would beat the dinner crowd. Nope, place was…read morejammed. But we were seated in less than 10 minutes so all good. Service was good even with the large crowd, a little slow, but fine. Ive always enjoyed dining here, food and service never disappoints. Only negative was, the floors were like walking on an ice rink! Greasy, oily, something but definitely needs a deep cleaning. Lots of older and disabled folks noticed the same thing entering and leaving. Everyone was talking about it so it wasn't only our group. Excessively slipping and sliding from the front door all the way into the dining rooms. I stopped to help several elderly folks having a very difficult time trying not to fall over. Please have the floors cleaned asap. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

The drinks themselves were absolutely fantastic. The other bartender working with us was super chatty and friendly, sharing great recommendations for other drinks to try. When we casually mentioned that we were celebrating our friend's birthday, he kindly offered us complimentary watermelon shots, which we double-checked and confirmed were also gluten-free. I even peeked at the food menu while we were there and noticed that they clearly list gluten-free labels next to the applicable items. Overall, the bartending staff was phenomenal, and the drinks were top-notch.

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.

And, dare I say, better version. Except for their avgolemeno soup. Such a weak travesty. Please fix this. It's just a watery mess. However, everything else is delicious. I ordered the Greek Chicken with their lemon-butter rice. They debone the chicken and serve atop a mountain of their rice. If also had their potatoes (which are good) but the rice is magical. The first time we went, they had a serve yourself soda fountain and they since got rid of it and sell soda in bottles and cans. They do still have a self-serve water station. Once you order, staff will bring to your table, so please tip when you order or leave on the table as they do come by and clear your table as well. It is first come first served and you grab your own tables. I've been there on weekends and weeknights and they get pretty packed. The food is flavorful and quite tasty. The portions are huge so you're definitely going to bring something home. Nostimo is now in our rotation of places to go in a pinch and they do have an outdoor seating area, too.

It's one of those places you get the food brought out. There's also a bar area you can get beer and wine. For certain it's not the average fast casual. It's about $8 for a glass. Best we had was the Roditis, which is a rosé from Corinthia. It's about $8 for the Hummus. Comes with lots of pita bread. The rest of the menu is meaty. Great place located on Rand at Chestnut. It's closed Mondays. There's the hummus for vegetarians.

Naxos has a pretty big menu but is still limited in some things. A lot of it is meaty including fish. There's few choices for vegetarians but they have salad at least. Coming in here it looks a lot fancier than the places around it. It's actually still pretty casual and there's okay prices. There's a bar at the front and that's where we sat. Good stuff as far as alcohol. It's about $7 for the House Red Wine. A good one. It's about $11 for the Athenian Salad. This is pretty much like a Greek Salad. Okay but basic. The rest of the menu has classics like moussaka and spanakopita among lots of things you can get. Good enough that maybe we could go here again. It's located on Irving Park at Rohlwing. The Fried Eggplant is among the few things for vegetarians.

I got a chicken bowl and was able to load it up with several toppings. I ordered a lamb and beef gyro for my husband. A warning to olive haters, they put tomatoes, onions, and olives as their standard gyro toppings. I also ordered some chicken kabob sides to take home to the kids. That took a while to cook up, and then it was a little disappointing that they didn't come on skewers. Bolingbrook has other Mediterranean/Greek options, but this might be my new favorite. Knocking down a star because I had received 3 mail coupons that were probably outdated, but just said expiring within 30 days with no actual date. From a marketing perspective, I would recommend including a date on these. The employee at the counter basically laughed at me and said he'd never seen them before, so I paid full price for my meal.

Today, I stopped by with my team for lunch and were surprised by..........how long it took to order with one person in front of us?? The staff apologized by indicating that they were short on supplies and out of many things including their house sauce, Covo. Hmm, isnt the name of the restaurant Covo??? Anyways, I asked what was the best day to come here and they indicated that they seem to be short of supplies EVERY DAY! I wonder what the person is thinking who is responsible for ordering the supplies??? I've been here six times......three times I have walked out because the line was too long. It seems like the process for ordering and executing here is too long. The dining area is another story. We had to ask for utensils as the station in the dining area was missing utensils, sauces, napkins, straws, etc. The fountain pop machine had a couple of sodas empty of syrup. I'm wondering if there was any training done here???? It's too bad that this place is executing so bad since the food is actually pretty good. I will have to pass on coming here again since there are many other places located near by that actually have the food ready in an efficient manner!

I'm not sure why he asked if I wanted pork gyros, otherwise I would have just ordered a gyro. I guess one skewer is like $10? In Greece, you can easily get a souvlaki for 3-5 E and the portions are big. This restaurant definitely rips you off with the price. The pork meat is slightly fatty but mostly on the tough side. The quality is better than Taste in Westmont. They are generous with the sizes but I'm not sure if I will return here. It's hard to get authentic Greek food in Illinois.

Gyro dinner with spinach rice and Greek potatoes - gyro meat was tender and not overly spiced/flavored like, once again, a nasty food service product. Potatoes were cooked perfectly. Soft and seasoned spot-on, obviously made fresh and not left dying under a heat lamp. The spinach rice was tasty but a bit salty. I can assume that since everything is fresh made this might just be a one-off. I am more than willing to try this dish again to test out this hypothesis. I definitely recommend.
