Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Streamwood

The food is exceptional and the service was excellent. It was not over crowded and I think that may have been because of the cold, but this is one of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants in the area.

The restaurant is outstanding and beautiful. The food is outstanding. The service was a little slow at first, especially for a Monday night (but it was packed, on a Monday night!) And the line cook salting the crispy potatoes was waaaaay too heavy handed. I politely and not even remotely annoyed mentioned it to the server and they comped both the potatoes and one of our desserts, which was totally unnecessary and unexpected. We would come back again and again. In fact this is my second trip!

This was our first visit to Vasilis which is a Mediterranean Restaurant in Naperville. IL. We had a reservation and called to see if we could be seated early. They told us to come over and they would accommodate us when possible. We were seated upon arrival, 30 minutes before our reservation. Excellent. I ordered a Zero Proof Mis-Key Sour (lyre American malt, lemon juice, apple and falernum syrup) which was very similar to a Whiskey sour. Nice job on that. For appetizers we ordered Saganaki (fried kefalograviera cheese, lemon, oregano and added Wood Fired Pita. It was flamed tableside. A great show. For our main Course we ordered Gyros (sliced lamb & beef gyros, tomato, onion, tzatziki, pita) and Chicken Souvlaki which was served on skewers served with tzatziki, cucumber, and shaved onion. For dessert we ordered Loukoumades which is listed as traditional Greek donuts, honey, walnuts. We enjoyed it all. Would I go back yes. 5/5 stars.

I cannot say enough great things about this neighborhood gem- we drive an hour from the suburbs, and it’s worth it every time. High quality food made with love, exceptional service, cozy atmosphere on a winter evening, and the live piano music is a lovely touch. If you’ve been to Turkey, you know this food and hospitality is the real deal!!

We went for the Thanksgiving buffet and it was a lovely afternoon. The servers were quick with anything we needed and were always friendly. They were also helpful - my husband asked for Turkish coffee and the server responded that black coffee was included but there would be an extra charge for Turkish. Totally reasonable and I appreciated not getting a surprise added charge later. The food was solid, especially the cold apps/salads, cig kofte, lentil soup, bread basket, and the two meats made from ground meat. It's tough to prepare food for such a large group, so not surprising that the chicken kebabs were drier than I'd like. I was sad not to see any lamachun available, as it was listed. But that's okay as that's also something that's better when it's piping hot. At no point did anyone indicate that they needed our table, which can be a concern both at buffets and on holidays. We were able to relax between courses and enjoy the holiday as a family. I'd happily return!
