Amazing vibes and even better food! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was fun, warm, and inviting. Every dish we tried was incredible and the meat was so tender it literally melted in your mouth. This is the perfect spot to order a variety of plates and share because everything is that good, but the portions are also generous enough if you want your own dish. The desserts were absolutely amazing and a must-try, and the drinks were just as impressive! so flavorful and well made. Overall, an unforgettable experience and a place I can’t wait to come back to! It was also my first time trying greek food and now I am in love! Will from now on recommend this place to everyone!

I tried the new menu at Avli, and everything was genuinely so good.

The Meze Platter was amazing and had such a nice variety. From the Mezede section, the octapodi and phyllo shrimp ended up being my absolute favorites, both were really well done and full of flavor.

I also had the salmon, which was delicious and cooked perfectly.

Overall, the new menu is impressive, and every dish I tried was a hit. I’d definitely recommend checking it out.

I have not had a chance to eat the food at this restaurant, but I’m sure it’s wonderful.
Classy and casual.
Very bright atmosphere large money room inside of a small mall the restaurant takes up most of the location.
I am writing this review for one special person. I’m sure everyone is wonderful there.
And all the owners are in there they will check on their guests as I see everything as I walk in. I’ve seen the bartenders working hard to the waste app and always with a smile.
The lady at the front desk always greeting us as we walk in and waiting patiently with us as our order is brought to us.
But there is one special person that I hope she never leaves and grows within the company: A superstar named KATE ‍♀️!!!!
I am an older six year DoorDasher.
I do many deliveries for this location and with KATE being there SHE MAKES THE DAY THE NIGHT THE EXPERIENCE SO MUCH BETTER…
As you enter the restaurant, she greets you with a smile she will let you know the exact time the food is ready and she’s never wrong. She will have you relax in a seat. she will bring your order to you and let you know how pleased she is that you stopped by.
As Doordashers We work very hard at what we do to serve the people, the restaurant , and the company. with her being there makes the stress all go away.
I say to the owners thank you for standing strong and staying in business so long. thank you for allowing us in your restaurant and greeting us like any other customer. We are the delivery guys… I feel special walking into this restaurant.
Never let Kate go.
An amazing staff , the people, and your angel at the front door.
KATE!!!
May you all stay blessed.
May anyone read this please go enjoy the service and the food. I know it’ll be wonderful for you. I myself will take a day off and experience that part of the restaurant as well.

Avli in Winnetka truly delivered. We ordered the Meze Platter, broccolini, marrow, octapodi, and the Mediterranean steak, and every single dish was amazing. The flavors were on point, portions were great, and everything felt very fairly priced for the quality.

On top of that, the service was excellent, attentive, friendly, and well-timed. This new menu is an easy 5 stars, and I can’t wait to come back to try more.

The new space is calming, relaxing and beautiful.

Avli has always been a great experience for us. The staff are always polite and efficient. The food has always been fresh, tasty, and well portioned. The whole feel of Avli to me is upscale yet casual. It’s a very relaxed atmosphere that retains a classy feel. The cocktails have always been good as well. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for traditional Greek fare without a bunch of filler.

My girlfriend and I celebrated our anniversary here, and it was perfect! The staff surprised us with free rose wine, which was such a thoughtful touch. The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the prices were reasonable. Highly recommend for a special occasion!

A bit hard to find but worth it. The dining area and quiet and comfortable. Good menu with plenty of good choices. Some good wine choices.

Food is well prepared and delicious. Well spiced and served hot. The soup is fantastic.

Service is attentive and our server was very knowledgeable about the menu.

Visiting Avli April 2023, we found much disappointment. The food has really gone down hill over the past two years. I ordered their gyros plate for the first time thinking Greek restaurant it should be great! It was dry and tasteless. There was only one tomato slice and a few slivers of red onion. My wife ordered her usual skewered chicken, and it was over cooked and hardened on the skewers and the rice was overcooked and bland. The best dish ordered was the pasta with shrimp .
They serve cold bread and butter packs like a diner. We had to ask for olive oil, which is their own brand. We then had to ask for Parmesan cheese and pepper.
After dinning here many times, it has become a disappointment to say the least.
Prior review below.
The second time visiting Avli turned out much better than the first back in 2019. Sitting out in the courtyard allowed us to be more comfortable with Covid and all. The service was much improved from the prior time, as our waiter was personable and attentive but not over bearing. Even the busboys seemed to be better trained.
We started with a drink and dolmaldes while waiting for our guests. These dolmaldes were the best I’ve ever had. The plates was dressed with a slightly sweet amber sauce that contrasted the lemon tartness of the grape leaves, while the rice meat mixture was delicious. The menu has its basic Greek menu items and then the not so basic to chose from. I actually had the lamb chops with their Greek rice. The chops were ordered medium rare and very thin medium well came out. I didn’t send them back because they were well seasoned and tasty. Even the broccoli was well seasoned and grilled with just right amount for the grill browning and flavor. My mother-in-law is vegan, and there are plenty of items on the menu for her to order. The only desserts ordered were ice cream and the cheese cake. The cheese cake was ok but not great.
Please before you leave, look below and tap on the thumbs up .

Located inside the Laundry building so it was a little confusing to find. The area is super cute and would love to revisit the patio when the weather is nicer.

Surprising full restaurant for lunch on a Sunday but was still able get seated right away. Service was good but food wasn’t that great, especially for vegetarians. We tried a couple small plates: the flatbread, saganaki and spanakopita. They also started us off with some bread and butter. Everyone raved about the saganaki but we found it a little too salty to be enjoyable. Ended with the small bites dessert, which was perfect. Overall, the food is only ok – wish they would have more vegetarian options.

This place feels like in an artistic beautiful environment. From cutlery to dining, from heating floor to mouth watering food, this restaurant would never leave me to amaze every time I visit.

The boy, Juan helped us to select best options from their vast Greek menu. Amazing place to spend beautiful time with beautiful people.
