Greek mezze and lavraki on Fullerton

Noema opened on West Fullerton in April 2026 from chef Konstantinos Kvasilava, previously of Kyma in New York, with hospitality veteran Stelios Mitris as owner. It calls itself a gastrobar, which here means the mezze section runs longer than the entree list.

Spreads come first: melitzanosalata and tirokafteri among them, then grilled lamb chops and a mille-feuille layered with paprika-infused potato. The larger plates lean more traditional, moussaka, braised short rib, crisp lavraki over risotto.

Our first visit to Chicago and we discovered this beautiful restaurant! Service: 10/10, attentive, friendly, easy Food: 10/10 delicious, flavorful, just traditional flavored enough Ambiance/Atmosphere: beautiful 😍 We had Mousaka, tuna tartare, a pork skewer (don’t sleep on this!), roasted veg, Chilean sea bass with risotto, zucchini and feta fritters (easily my favorite thing!), fries with aioli, dead and butter, one of their potato spreads (with roe), and a strawberry cheesecake type dessert that was spectacular. Perfect patio, amazing meal. I wish we lived closer. Do yourself a favor and get here, at least for a drink and a snack on the patio!

Had a fantastic experience at Noema Restaurant. Beautiful inside the restaurant and the patio outside is a great place to spend the evening. We had the tzatziki spread and beet salad to start. My wife and I split the half chicken and braised rib as our entree. Ilias was a tremendous server. We will be back and we highly recommend Noema!

This restaurant really brings the soul of Greek hospitality to life. The food and drinks were all a hit. The chefs really preserved authentic Greek flavors and made this one of the best Greek spots I’ve been to. Thank you to our server Sotiria and other attentive staff for making our dinner such a great night!

My friends and I decided to give a new restaurant in the neighborhood a try and we are so happy we did. We sat outside and everything was amazing 🤩 The ambiance, the food and the service were all wonderful. We will definitely be back. Perfect place for a date night or a night out with friends or family.

Amazing dinner! We ordered a lot but everything is so intentionally paired and so fresh. The spreads, the tuna tartare, lambchops and the short rib are so amazing. This will be our go to spot! Can’t wait to be back and try everything else. Such great service as well.
