Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Skokie

It was my best friend’s birthday dinner. We had a great time. Every item we got was delicious. Our waitress was very helpful and attentive during our dinner. She got us a little birthday dessert with a candle as a complimentary. It was very thoughtful. We will come back again!

Great food. Enjoyed Platter 2…too much for the six of us. Great service. Good for groups. We will be back!!

We’ve passed through Eden on multiple occasions, noticed it when taking my Lab to MedVet & Eye Care for Animals. Staffers remembered our Anniversary (week) celebration (I forgot the note on the reservation 😛). We didn’t anticipate the complimentary beverage. Most establishments don’t offer anything these days, we really appreciated the gesture. Drinks are strong, I went w/ Manhattan, wifey w/ Hot Toddy. Food was great. I opted for Burger w/ Fries, wifey ate Duck Banh Mi w/ Eden Salad. I’m not a big fan of Kale but the side Salad was amazing!!

The food is always great at Avli. It was very busy and the noise levels were quite high but bearable. Maybe they could play some music to drown out some of the chatter. We had the hummus and eggplant spread. Both were great. Big portions. We also had the mini chicken skewers which were delicious, and the meatballs. They were quite good although the tomato sauce on top was quite tart and tasted a bit like tomato paste. My husband liked it more than me. For dessert we had the orange pie which is actually orange cake. It is delicious. We also tried the cheesecake and chocolate filo sampler. Both were very good. We love Juan who has been our server in the past. Very attentive and friendly.

From the appetizers to the drinks to the desserts, it was a knockout experience. Many and our party had never been to an Italian dairy restaurant. One of us was even a true Italian and was blown away by the quality and accuracy of the preparations. Those who have never visited before are putting this restaurant on their A-list to return. Our waiter and his assistant could not have been nicer. And everyone appreciated the close in parking.
