Barba Yianni, Chicago

You don't get dessert here unless you finish that roast leg of lamb, but the effort required to achieve your baklava is worth it. This is a charming, neighborhood spot far away from the tourists in Greektown. Locals flock here for the traditional Greek favorites. The incredibly strong coffee is perfect for washing down the aforementioned baklava. You may need it. Grecian Taverna is certainly a terrific north side spot for Greek food
