Verdict Restaurant

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.

There is even a bar are with counter seating and three - five tables (two standard height and three counter height. There is a monstrous screen behind the bar for sports, but they mostly show videos of Greece, but they are mesmerizing videos of a beautiful country. It's a cleaner version of Dengeo's. 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.

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

Parking can be a bit hit-or-miss - it's a lousy parcel. On the "non-good" side - this appears NOT to be a Family Operated business. It acts like a chain, which becomes more-evident the closer to Closing Time you get. We've been refused service 20 minutes ahead of Closing, because they insisted we'd "be longer in our seats" than they would. We then sat in the car, eating, as we watched them take 45+ minutes to close up. My wif e refuses to return, for that reason. I looked at it from their point of view, and I understand, if not agree. My other "issue" was when I ordered a salad with (what the menu said was) oil & vinegar dressing. When served to me, the salad was SMOTHERED in some form of creamy white ooze. I'm horrifically lactose intolerant; some types of cream concoctions can kill me in a half hour. They were very kind, and changed the salad out for me. That was MY FAULT, for not knowing the Greek Culture and Menu better. At the end if it all, I like their food, and keep coming back!

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.

We ordered the whole branzino with roast Greek potatoes, and it was every bit as good as the whole Greek-style fish we've been ordering since first coming here decades ago. The same with the horta (dandelion greens) which I recommend dressing with lemon juice, olive oil (there's a bottle on the table) and black pepper. Delicious. And there is no better taramasolata anywhere than here. Absolutely addictive. The kind they serve at other Greek places is just a pale imitation. Our waitress (I didn't catch her name, but she was from Russia) was an absolute delight. So friendly and efficient. I have one complaint. Egg-lemon soup is traditionally a dairy-free dish. But Greek Islands' version apparently contains milk or cream. I'm not 100% sure it does, but I have lactose intolerance and definitely suffered unpleasant aftereffects following dinner. I called the following morning and I was told that it does indeed contain milk or cream, but the guy I spoke to had a heavy accent so I'm still not sure. The point is, the menu should state clearly when a TRADITIONALLY DAIRY-FREE dish contains dairy for the benefit of people with lactose intolerance or -- much more seriously -- a dairy allergy. Not doing so is very, very irresponsible. That quibble aside, let me re-emphasize how impressive it is that this restaurant remains as good as it is after all these years.

Service was fairly quick and friendly. Parking is plentiful nearby, though it's a bit of a challenge to park next to the building both because of limited spots and narrow alleys. The menu is quite expansive, with options that are a bit different than what you typically expect, and the prices are fair. For someone who goes to a minimum of one or more brunches per week, the drink and food menus here drew me to the restaurant. After a while, a lot of menus look very similar with the same generic offerings of the standard pancake, waffle, omelet, and waffle options. This spot has a lot of fun options such as avocado steak toast, barbacoa skillet, churro hawaiian bread french toast, biscuit bombs and more. Even on more common options, they generally carry a wide range of flavor profiles from fruits to chocolate to nuts and more. Similarly, drinks include mimosas, champagne, cocktails, wine, spritzers, beer, juices, milks, coffees, teas, and more -- with tons of customization options. I'm a huge fan of this since it allows me to come back here with friends and not get bored of trying different things. The prices are also very fair for the higher quality products they serve. The food overall was impressive as well. I found the hash skillet to be flavorful with corn beef that wasn't too salty and quite tender. The best part was probably the potatoes that were seasoned to perfection and absorbed the flavors of the onion and pepper well, with a slightly crispy edge. The normal pancakes were super fluffy and quite thick. The pumpkin pancakes were a great combination with a delicious cream cheese frosting and a mix of dried cranberries, walnuts, and pumpkin pie sauce that was flavorful and addictive. This didn't need any additional syrup. The pumpkin roll french toast was equally as impressive where the toast was just a little crispy and the cream cheese frosting was a bit gooey. This was quite a fun mix of textures also with delicious sugared pecans and pumpkin pie drizzle. Overall, delicious food and great options make this a spot I'm sure to return to anytime I'm in the area.
