Barba Yianni Grecian Taverna: User Reviews

Excellent baklava
By abschim from Lakeview, May 3, 2009

Overall rating:

The restaurant was large and looked like it was set up for a wedding with a large dance area and smaller eating areas raised and off the side. The broiled calamari was really impressive. There was a truly unique Greek pasta that was simple and delicious. Their spanakopita was not the tiny store-bought triangles, but was a 3X5" spinach pie with a hint of dill. And rounding out the phillo experience, the baklava was not overly sweet or heavy. The owner took great pride in telling us that it was all home made. And as an added bonus, they had a good wine list!

THE best grecian restaurant i've ever been to. Its a friendly place to take girls out on a date or a night of family fun. I personally enjoy the chicken shawarma and the superb spartan salad, after the wonderful food i relax with a water pipe and watch a game they got playing in the bar area. If you love dancing there is tango,ball room dancing nights.

I really enjoy this place. There is no place like it in Lincoln Square. I live there and have dined at many places, but I do not get the food, service and great prices that I get here!

This place is really good and rarely crowded for some reason. Have been going here for about 7 years now and the food is reliably good with good portions for the money. The service can be a little sketchy though but generally not an issue.
