Avli Taverna is an outstanding Greek restaurant that I recently had the pleasure of dining at. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor was stunning and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive.

Nice time sitting outdoors for dinner! We ordered a few plates to share. Recommend the Greek salad, Gyro Plate and Chicken Souvlaki. Would have ordered the lamb shank but one of our friends wasn’t a fan, so I’ll order next time as it looked absolutely delicious when served the next table over from us.

Super cute restaurant in a nice neighborhood. The outdoor seating area was comfortable. The staff and food were all amazing! Highly recommend the sampler platter, shrimp souvlaki, and tiramisu!

The beet salad was sooo good. I added the salmon as my protein expecting a small portion laid on top. Instead I received a large, perfectly cooked (it was on the softer side), moist, flavorful hunk. My husband had the beef skewers which came with either rice or a vegetable as opposed to both (only drawback). It was also very tasty. The hummus was more dense in texture as opposed to smooth and with a mild flavor which I happened to like, but some may not. Small on the inside but with a LOT of outdoor seating, tucked into a residential part of Lincoln Park. The food was GOOD, pretty, and fresh, and not ridiculously expensive.

The place was PERFECT ! The moment you walk into the place you just feel like your in Greece. The food is also amazing! Our server who is Rene was a great server, he made us laugh and smile so much. Thank you Rene! The food also didn’t take to long to come out to us but not that short either. They have a outdoor and indoor seating area. The decorations just represent Greece all the way! It was Amazing, again! Thank you Avli!

A decent selection on the menu- low on vegetarian options! Avoid the fried food… a couple in out party had rumbly tummies – most likely because of that. Service a bit slow, but very pleasant servers

Pretty expensive and the portions are small and quality is average. My boyfriend had the steak kabobs and I had the chicken ones, they each came with a side. We also got the Halloumi. In the end I felt we paid too much than what we truly should have, and we didn’t even order drinks. The space is pretty small, tables are pretty close to each other.

Good Greek restaurant with gorgeous outdoor dining. The spinach pie is delicious. The saganaki was too sweet for my taste with figs on top. The lamb gyro is excellent, one of the best in Chicago. The baklava had a raspberry sauce on top, I recommend ordering the baklava without the raspberry.

Do yourself a favor and get the dip trio, the fried cheese with honey, and the moussaka. Thank me later. Finish with the baklava if you’re feeling naughty.
