As the first time Greek-Cypriot cuisine visitor, can't comment if it was authentic. But now I am really greek food lover :) So I would suggest everybody to try this place. Food was no doubt delicious, but more attracting was the ambience & homely atmosphere. U gotta taste greek wines, they are amazing.

    There is certainly not a shortage of Greek restaurants in Chicago. However, Cypriot restaurants are hard to find, and authentic Cypriot food that stands out is really rare. After eating at Venus Greek-Cypriot Cuisine, I do know it exists. This food is such a unique twist on Greek food. The spices have subtle differences but still have the oomph of traditional Greek spices. The people could not have been friendlier honestly, and the free valet parking was certainly nice. It's an amazing place that really has to be tried
  • Pros: Helpful staff, fun setting, great food and nice drink selection


  • An Absolute Standout!

    We dined on a Friday Evening with our 8 year old daughter. The food was FANTASTIC, and the service even better. The live music took us back to our trip to Greece. Everyone made sure our experience was the best possible -- the manager noticed our daughter picking at her chosen kids' meal, and insisted that he bring her something else -- which she loved. Excellent food, attentive service, and fair prices. By far the best meal we've had our entire trip! Don't miss this place!
    Pros: Quality, Freshness, Service

    Simply the freshest food in Greektown! You won't find any mass produced Greek foods here....I have been there twice and both times the food was outstanding!!!! The moussaka is homemade, NOT from a factory. The octopus, out of this world! Also, their trademark goat's cheese is a must try!!!!! Out of all of the Mediterranean/Greek restaurants in Chicago, this one is simply the best.
    Pros: beautiful decor, free valet, value
