Our family had a fun day at Sloomoo and decided to dine to restaurants close by. We’re glad Avli had a spot for us and dined inside. Their salad was really good, I’m not a fan of feta cheese so I just moved it to the side. My daughter and husband enjoyed the zucchini chips and chicken gyros. I would have tried more but were catching the train schedule. We’re planning to return again Service was fast, our server handed us a QR code. The restaurant has outdoor seating but we choose to be seated indoors.

Absolutely one of my favorite places on Chicago!! The service was great and could easily accommodate my gluten allergy. Even had GF pita bread!!! The food portions are large, so plan to share!

Wasn’t a huge fan of the food at this place. The starting bread was good. The hummus spread was solid too, but the pita bread served with it was on the tougher side. The eggplant dish was tender and cooked properly but lacked flavor beyond the base eggplant taste (i.e. it just tasted like mashed eggplant). The very thin fried potatoes tasted like ordinary (and pleasantly crispy) French fries. Maybe you’ll have better luck with another entree.

My husband and I came here as we were excited to see the menu they offered. We absolutely love Greek food, and this place definitely delivered! The ambience is modern with a Cyclades feel to it, reminding me of my time in Paros. Food was spot on, with the Monastiraki gyros tasting almost like we had in Greece. Service was somewhat left to be desired, but overall we had a pleasant time here and would definitely come back again.

Simply fantastic. The most delicious Greek food paired with fantastic service. Small plates, good Greek beer and frappe martini, and tasty meals such as oven lamb enjoyed in a cute sidewalk patio. Definitely a River North must in the summer.

Waiting to be Seated: I made reservations for 7:30PM on a Saturday night. I called to inform them that I would be running late. I arrived at approx. 7:55PM. There were several other people with reservations waiting, so everyone queued outside on the sidewalk. The bouncer, kindly escorted us to the bar while we wait for a table. I was not seated until 8:30PM and noticed other people who got in after us were seated first. I felt it was partly they forgot about me and partly discriminatory/unprofessional.

The atmosphere was only affected by the large table of mimosa swigging girls who were shouting. Not that big of a deal, but we were a large group right next to the day-drinking ladies and could barely hear each other.

happy hour is where it’s at, I didn’t get a chance to take a photo of the zucchini chips but they were so good and crispy and fried in oil, really all the best stuff, loved the outdoor patio and had a great time

Our server Nico was electric. Could not have had better service or recommendations. We had the teach me how to dance and trellis cocktails; both were great. For food, the zucchini chips and kataiffi shrimp are a must(pictured), and the the sampler with your choice of three spreads will all be more than enough to fill two people up. They give you unlimited bread with olives and olive oil at your request. We ended up going to the bar for more cocktails, and Speros’ favorite cocktail to make was also my favorite cocktail of the night to drink. We would go again to try different parts of the menu.
