Salmon
Christian V.

Had their Salmon for dinner with rice pilaf, and pita. It was the perfect amount for dinner. The guys who took my order made sure we ordered what we wanted and he got it down correctly. My uncle next to me made sure with the kitchen to see if there was anything allergen friendly for my cousin. They took great care of them to make sure my cousin can have their food. Their environment is a modern ambiance with some decent music giving a relaxing vibe.

Beef and Lamb Gyro and Greek Chicken Lemon Rice
Ellen B.

What a great place. Quick service but some Greek dishes that are incredibly delicious. Pork Gryos, beef and Lamb Gyros and this roasted chicken. The avgolemono soup is deeply lemony and very filling. The service is excellent, the dining room is nicely decorated with comfortable seating. Looking forward to visiting there again.

Greek fast food joint very nice place. Has outdoor seating as well as a large dining area. I got the Greek smash burger. It was pretty tasty. My son got the pork souvlaki and he loved it. My friends got a variety of foods such as calamari, Greek salad, gyros, and humus. Everyone was extremely satisfied with their selections. We also got ice cream and loukoumades. Only missing is the cinnamon but otherwise delicious. I got a frappe. Reminding me of the beaches of Greece. They had both fountain drinks and bottled beverages. I think they also have alcohol but I didn't see any menus so I'm not sure. All in all, fast and friendly service.

3.5 but rounding up. I stopped in for a weekend lunch and it was great! This fast casual spot is fairly large with indoor (~50) and outdoor seating. There are tables and booths throughout and were kept clean. The decor is very nice with flowers cascading from the ceiling with very cute light fixtures. You get a feel for actually being in Greece! The process of ordering was easy - my friend and I placed our order with a front counter staff member and grabbed a table number. Within 5-10 mins our food was ready and brought over to us. We both tried the gyro (lamb and beef) pita. I thought the fries would come as a side but they are actually inside the gyro itself. Pricing is on the higher side for it being fast casual, however, the quality of the food makes up for it. Everything was tasty and full of flavor. The portion is fair and I did have left overs. They also brought over a complimentary bite of a dessert. I'm not sure what it was, but it was nice to end with something sweet!

Chicken kabob dinner was tasty and juicy chicken cooked to perfection. Gyros sandwich was fulfilling. Clean and nice atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

Greetings, Greek food is one of my favorite food categories. I grew up in Oak Park, so a run to Greektown was easy enough to do back in the day. I'm pleased to share that Nostimo brings the Greektown flavors and vibe to a great fast-casual spot on Rand Road. One visit is all that you will need to discover that Nostimo is all about the joys of Greek food. The sharp building exterior gives way to a smartly renovated taverna-esque interior that immediately sets the tone with a warm and welcoming experience. Greek hospitality and prompt service are core values. Orders are taken at the counter then you grab a table with your number and punctual table-side service awaits. A well curated choice of Greek beers and wines is noted and available at a separate register. Well done! Orders come right from the open kitchen, hustled out by the serving staff so it's hot on arrival. Flavors...exceptional. Nostimo nails it each time. Gyros, skewers, salads, sides...all sensational. Sauces and seasonings on point. I am continually impressed with Nostimo's ability to keep such high standards throughout...down to their service items: Upscale plates and flatware. Everything is spotless and tidy... May you find your visit to Nostimo equally enjoyable...it's a welcome slice of Greek life right within our community. Until next time...tk

I enjoyed my dinner at Nostimo! You can order via drive thru, or inside at the counter. They have a large menu of Greek options- gyros, hummus, rice, lemon soup, baklava. I went with the gyro combo with fries! It was good, but didn't blow me away. Service was very efficient. The inside was very nice, it is a bit more upscale in comparison to your traditional counter service place!

Fast casual Greek food that's priced similar to full service Greek restaurants, with food quality that fortunately matches the price. Nostimo serves up cuisine that is well seasoned with great textures and good portion size, similar to what you'd expect if you dined in at Plateia or Demitri's but in a very large dining room that's beautifully decorated and a much more casual atmosphere. The servers are friendly as well and were quick to correct an error in our order. The meat here is cooked nicely from the slightly juicy pork kalamakia to the meaty gyros, there is the right amount of fat in the portions which are cut into good sized pieces. The seasoning isn't too aggressive but fairly tasty, with a lower sourness level than expected from Greek food. I also enjoyed the sides I tried, with the feta fries having a great mix of crispiness, tenderness, and saltiness. The greek potatoes were done equally well without having too many herbs. I also enjoyed the freshness of the tomatoes and onions, demonstrating the consistency of using high quality ingredients. Overall, delicious food in a nice setting. There's some strong contenders nearby like Armo Grill and Pita Inn that serve competitively priced grill options but the atmosphere here makes it a more unique option in the area.

Traditional gyro plate with Greek potatoes (hold the pita) GF

We came here on a whim, as we were looking for a place for lunch near an escape room nearby. We absolutely love Greek food and this by far is the most legit traditional gyro I have had since visiting Greece. The decor was super cute (Greek signs and all), plenty of space to sit, and take out seemed popular. The service was fast and they even offered the dine in tables a sample of baklava. Besides the traditional gyro we were shocked they actually had freddo espresso which is the go to cold coffee in Greece; metrio for us is preferred. There are plenty of options for gluten free too. The only thing I wish they had were two different sizes of rice and soup, because they are very large. However the food was all enjoyed, worth every penny, and my group can't wait to go back. !

Wow!! Blown away! This place is great! We've driven past a handful of times, but finally decided to try it out. We went in on Saturday night and it was packed! The restaurant was noticeably clean and the ambiance was so enjoyable. I can't wait to go back. The food was 10/10.

This place was great! Tried it over the weekend. I got the roasted chicken and it was delicious! Perfectly cooked, the crispy skin was awesome and the potatoes were really good too. Fresh and plentiful. Husband got the kebobs - he loved them too. Got yellow/lemon rice which was excellent. The restaurant is very nicely decorated. The food was prompt. It was great! A little far from where we are (we were out and about in the area) but would love to come back. Definitely would recommend! Free parking outside

Which items on the menu are gluten free? Thank you!

They have Greek chicken that came with potatoes. I am not sure if they have gluten free pita. Most meals can be eaten without the pita.

Do they have outdoor seating?

I did not see any outdoor dining

A few "highlights" of our visit: Dishonesty: A server lied and said there was no kids' menu (which is clearly listed on their website) just to avoid a meal substitution. When I asked about ordering chicken tenders, the server told me they didn't have a kid's menu and were only making an "exception" for my daughter. I later found the full kids menu on their website. Instead of simply explaining an age policy, he chose to be dishonest and was visibly annoyed that I even asked. Being Ignored: It took 20 minutes and multiple people flagging down a server just to get one bottle of Coke. I asked the female waitress 3 times for the Coke and she repeatedly looked at me and ignored me. It took 20 minutes and 3 family members calling out to the server to get her attention. Disrespect: The hostess literally put her hand in my face when I politely asked for a to-go bag. I politely asked the hostess for a to-go bag, she actually put her hand in my face and told me to "hold on." When she finally returned, she mean mugs me and handed me the bag without a word even after I gave her an underserved thank you. If this were my party, I'd be demanding a refund. This place makes other local diners look like five-star establishments. Unbelievable and completely disappointing. Will never be returning.

Option 1: Drive 30 to 45 minutes into the city and eat in Greek Town. Not ideal, but the worst thing in the world. Option 2: Avoid the cumbersome drive and eat at Naxos! This is a GREAT option! So, we were in Schaumburg for a reason and we stopped in for lunch. First thing you notice is that the place is nicely decorated. Appropriately "Greeky," I'd say. It's clean, bright, ethnic enough, and welcoming. The service was excellent. George (yeah, he's Greek-American) did a great job of explaining the menu and making suggestions. Service was fast, friendly, and accurate. We loved: The red beets, the garlic spread, the Greek bread, the potatoes, and the avgolemono soup. Although the pastitsio was not the best ever, it was still very good, and the portion was BIG! We left satisfied. The price? It's expensive to eat out these days, but we definitely got our money's worth at Naxos. 5 stars!

We were seated in a timely manner and soon approached by the server. Nice selection of Greek food. Hot and cold appetizers, entrées, and delectable desserts. I really felt that the prices were reasonable. The service was timely. They are friendly and make you feel like family. I wish I had taken note of our server's name. I really enjoyed her. She has dark hair with tattoos, going up her right arm. I had Saganaki which was delish, the egg lemon soup, which is to die for and for my meal I had a hot appetizer-Shrimp Naxos. It is big shrimp in tomato sauce and garlic with crumbled feta. So tasty. I definitely will return and try some of the other dishes. Surely this place is authentic. There were quite a few tables of Greek families. Well done Naxos...

When you walk in there are happy hour specials posted but you have to come between 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. to get the special price but it's worth it look at my photos to see them. They have dine in (you order at the counter,) pick up, as well as delivery available. They also have a catering menu. My husband ordered the chicken skewer dinner it came with rice and a Greek salad and a side of pita bread. My daughter ordered the Gyro kids meal and her and I split it because she eats only a small amount of food. If you check in on Instagram or Facebook you get 10% off your check. I checked in on Facebook but they didn't give us the discount so she gave us a free side of Greek potatoes. The food was really good, we will definitely be back again. They had television sets on the dining room but none of them were on. They have Pepsi products that you fill yourself. They have a little dessert display which I took a picture of that as well.
