Greek Corner

Great little Greek restaurant on the corner of Damen and Augusta. Its a small restaurant with a little seating area but this place would probably serve just as well getting your food for pick up. I'm not actually telling a big secret but I hadn't been here before and had always heard of this place. Its been written up in Timeout Chicago a few times so I knew It wasn't going to be terrible, but I was still pleasantly surprised. I got my standard Greek meal that I almost always get, a chicken gyro with all the toppings, feta cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions and tsatsiki sauce. This thing was huge, it was overflowing the pita and had cheese and sauce every where. The food was great and, for sure, it was filling. Also something I had never had before caught me of guard as being really good, avgolemono soup (egg lemon soup made with rice and chicken broth) For under 2$. At the end I took some bites of there baklava which was really sweet but also really good. If you are ever in the neighborhood you should check it out. In the summer they have an outdoor patio you can sit at but it is gated so you feel kinda like you are in jail. Also they are BYOB and its not hard to get really full for 10$ so its a nice little spot.
