    We are “frequent flyers” at Basils and were happy to get a reservation for Easter. We have tried many dishes and have never had anything that is not delicious. Favorites are the chicken kabob & the spinach cheese pie, but it.s all good. Love the avgolemono soup but do wish they would offer a one cup serving because it is filling. Also LOVE the lemon potatoes.

    Had a great experience celebrating my dad’s birthday. Wait staff was very friendly and helpful. All of our food came out hot and tasted amazing. This is our third time here and we’ll definitely be back.

    Our group enjoyed great food (salmon, sea bass, saganaki, gyros) and very good service. It’s a nice restaurant. We were not rushed out and relaxed in a comfortable setting.

    We went as a group to this restaurant in Aurora for dinner on a Saturday night. The restaurant was packed and very noisy as we walked in the door. We were greeted by a lady at the desk and taken to our table in the corner of the main dining room. The service was good and prompt. The food was good also and we tried different dishes including the famous Greek dish moussaka. I would come back again but on a weekday night instead of weekends hoping that the restaurant will be less crowded.

    Food is always great at Basil's. My wife and I go here a lot after shopping and it's consistently good. Nicolas has served us many times and he always has great recommendations and good command of the menu. Service is always top notch, the wait staff is attentive but not pushy. A+!
