Psistaria Greek Taverna - Lincolnwood

In 2022 we ended up having a wedding rehearsal here and it was a huge hit amongst Greek and non Greek individuals. We have since moved from the area, but have come here at least once a year to enjoy truly Greek cuisine. Over this last weekend, the day before Easter, we came here and ended up feasting. The mini kabobs on their appetizer menu were more like traditional souvlaki you'd find in Greece but on smaller skewers. (Note if you order the kabob meal the meat is much larger and more American). We both agreed the appetizer is the way to go to enjoy a local but authentic souvlaki. It was incredibly busy, but we really enjoyed our food and the many leftovers. The ambiance was a little loud, but it didn't feel crowded despite it being packed. The only thing I would recommend is the frappe being served in a class cup. Bravo

The food is always amazing! Servers are nice as is all of the staff. I have been here many times. It gets crazy busy so be prepared if you are trying for peak hours. The only thing that I can find is a minus is they no longer do combo plates. But the food is fantastic!!

Psistaria... Yum! Yum Yum! I usually start off with the pork kabobs(lots of lemons) some nice warm, toasted bread with a variety of traditional Greek spreads! I highly recommend the Branzino which comes to the table whole then ever so carefully deboned by our kind server. The service is great here! Always... my eyes are too big for my stomach they split our sides or make smaller plates for us because it's a feast! Everything I've ever ordered in the bustling, family owned restaurant has been fantastic! It's a cute restaurant which has redone the bar over the years I've been coming here! One thing I will STRONGLY SUGGEST is get the Ekmek! It is the best, most authentic Ekmek dessert I've ever had I've been all over Greece! Forget Greektown for the moment try this gem right off 94 Touhy East. You won't regret it! Chef's kiss! Highly Recommend!

Dirty Greek! Yes please. If you like olive martinis you'll enjoy this drink. Came here for a surprise birthday party. Mine! I enjoyed the entire experience. Good food. Excellent service. Strong drinks. Check them out if you haven't already.

The wait was super long but we didn't have reservations on a Saturday evening, so, not the restaurant's fault. The lamb dish one of my sons and my wife ordered were delicious, the moussaka was fine and the gyros was ok as well. Service was slow at the beggining (we sat and waited about 3-4 minutes until my wife asked a guy for the menu) but then the waiter and bussers were incredibly attentive and prompt to serve us throughout the rest of the time we were there. I'd definitely go back to try more of their menu but I'll make sure to make a reservation.
