Greek Gods in Wicker Park Let’s just start with the okra, shall we? This dish was called bamies laderes (with accents I can’t add right now), and it was listed on the menu as baby okra, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh coriander, olive oil, and semolina bread. the okra was clearly a revelation.We had a phyllo dish with leeks, oven roasted fingerling potatoes, and fried padron and banana peppers—the peppers were another favorite. As for entrees, there was a rack of lamb that looked beautiful, a half chicken with potatoes that I tried a bit of, and a whole sea bass we shared at the table. This wasn’t just good food, this was the best example I’ve seen recently of perfectly cooked food. I have to say I’ll never look at Greek food, or a Greek menu, the same way again.

My daughter and I dined at Taxim and were so impressed with the service, the unique menu items, and the wines. We tried the duck gyros and the lamb sausage entree, a great salad and we also had the custard lemon accented pastry ...that was so wonderful I have been craving it. We also tried a unique tea that tasted very wild. This place is wonderful ~ Thank you David Schneider for bringing your authentic Greek restaurant to Chicago !

I loved, loved, loved my meal at Taxim. May favorites are the okra, lentils, and the roasted chicken. I finished with the most incredible dessert- a cream cutsard in a flaky pastry. The powdered sugar and fresh lemon added a twist that was perfect. This place is one of the best new restaurants in Chicago- I wish them well.

Interesting food- nouveau? or actually very traditional, regional, and fresh. romantic room- before the crowds hit. after 8pm, gets loud. service was good, prices not too bad.

Excellent food, great ambiance. Wait staff still learning the dishes. Never seen these wines before, got one from southern Greece Pelloponese which was amazing. Will be back
