My first time in here, and I honestly would say it is the best place and I enjoyed all the songs I listened to. The Singer's are great, family oriented, and everyone was politely representing them selves. Great place to be in.
The food is great, and so is the staff. They have a patio to eat outside. Recommend ordering a bunch of things to share, my favorite is the pork souvlaki.
Love this place. Everything about it. It's a spacious, old-school restaurant with a litany of menu options. The food is very good and the portions are beyond generous. I especially like the simple sides such as the gigades, the spanakorizo, and briami. All outstanding. Sit at the bar and welcome to Lincoln Square's version of Cheers...where everyone will know your name after just a few visits.
Best place ever! Best food! Best people! I can go anywhere in the city and many of my friends know where they can find me . I choose Barba Yianna because I am not kidding. It's the best place ever.
Best place, good food, great services!!I recommend everyone to go�
I have never had a bad meal there the service is always excellent and friendly one of the great neighborhood eateries I go there as often as I can it's just too good to pass up and the prices are very reasonable for what you get
Staff is so sweet and food was amazing as usual. Good place for afternoon wine and a walk around the Square.
I love this neighborhood place. The service is so warm, welcoming and professional, and the food is just fantastic. Nice abbreviated wine list, very reasonable prices. Great for lunch, dinner and takeout.
Everything about this place is amazing! The food, hospitality, atmosphere, music...everything. First time there and can't wait to get back again....thank you!! And to the lady that gave 2 stars for running out of a special on a Saturday night...REALLY???? For something so ridiculously minor??? That's just rude and you should be embarrassed of yourself.
The food and the staff are the best here...See you guys next time..

Excellent food. Great atmosphere. The owner and staff are so friendly. Best grilled lamb chops!!!!
Delicious food! Barba Yianni is amazing, with a great location, great people and excellent food.
Wonderful place with great regulars. Anas and his crew makes you feel like you are family. Thank you, wonderful :)
This place is warm and wonderful.
My wife and I went here on a date night before we went to a movie.
The staff is very kind and the restaurant has a lovely, dark atmosphere.
The menus were in tablets, which I thought was very cool and modern.
I ordered the Gyros Plate and my wife ordered the chicken breast lemonati. We were blown away by the flavors and the generous portions, which could have made two meals, if we wanted.
They have outdoor seating that is covered by an awning and plenty of indoor seating with an event space.
The one weird thing is that there are slot machines in the back of the restaurant, which is kind of tacky and depressing.
I would highly recommend it!
This is a very nicely decorated Traditional Greek restaurant in Lincoln Square that has lovely outdoor seating. I had the lamb chops which were excellent and the seasoning was delicious and my husband had the chicken lemonati which he loved. The portions were very generous and the price was right. Our server Tamara was very nice and food came out timely and we were very pleased. We highly recommend this restaurant. The chef knows how to cook lamb chops perfectly.
We through wedding shower for our son and his bride at this wonderful restaurant. Anas and his staff were amazing and addressed every detail to make it a perfect event. The food and wine were delicious and plentiful. The service was "spot on!" I highly recommend this restaurant to hold a special celebration or event.
Daniel the Bartender is a great personality, very friendly and knows his stuff! But be forewarned his drinks are a little on the sweet side! Order the Saganaki flaming goat cheese! The gyro sandwich comes deconstructed and is hard to hold it together! Get a table with a candle as it's very dark. Very cool digital menus!
We enjoyed all our food! Great service I totally recommend this place!
I absolutely love this place, I come in and sit down fresh food feels like home very classy or if you just want to come in and relax with some great cappuccino. I would recommend this every single time. Fresh food! My heart melts at this restaurant. I explained I got off a 12 hour shift and push 24 hours. The owner basically waited on me hand and foot. Amazing.
Great dinner as always! Kate and Gary were terrific. We will back. 10/7 - A great carry out today. Chris was terrific with my order.
Love this spot, solid food and drinks. Fair prices, great cut of lamb. Always have to start with saganaki. We got hummus with beef this time and really enjoyed it!
Staff are always friendly. This place is a great casual meal out with the family, date night with your partner, or a catchup lunch with your best friend. No Coke products just Pepsi.
Dinner with friends - they're vegetarian and we're not, and we all found good options on Barba Yianni's menu. The Chicken Breast Limonata was my favorite, with the Gigantes a close second.
Loved the window seats on a warm summer night, too ... breezy without being out in the full sun. (Only drawback was Fox News on the TV above the bar, ugh.)
Fantastic Greek food! Wonderful atmosphere and all the staff were friendly and welcoming! This was our first time here and we are absolutely coming back many more times. Our food was served piping hot and was so flavorful and the portions were very large. Wonderful selection of wines, Tequila's, and Specialty drinks. We love that they also have the ability to open the front windows to allow fresh air. I give Barba Yianni five stars!
This restaurant is great and is quickly becoming one of our favourite spots. The food is always fresh, reasonably priced and you get a healthy portion. Service is friendly and they have a nice patio in the summer, inside, it has a cool vibe. They kitchen is also open late on weekends!
We went here for dinner last night and we were seated with no reservations - very nice for a Friday night. We sat outside and I had the lamb chops - which were beautifully seasoned and very good. My partner had the chicken lemonati which he loved. The rice is SO good too. The portions were very generous and the price was right. We highly recommend this restaurant. The chef knows how to cook lamb chops perfectly (order them thick cut, which are two double chops). Also ask for some lemon to squeeze on top. The last time I had lamb chops at a restaurant this good was the old Black Ram in Des Plaines, IL.
Best service and best meals, I truly recommend that place.
We were hungry for Greek food and based on the menu, it looked like this would be a good place. I am happy to say that it is. The zucchini chips with garlic dip were very good, as was the octopus and salad. We somehow managed to save room for the thin lamb chops, and these were also very good. Our waiter, Tasos, took very good care of us and made the experience all the more enjoyable. There are many more good things on the menu so we will just have to come back again sometime -hopefully soon.
Great experience with quality food. 👌 It was a nice time sitting outside just enjoying the atmosphere with the food.
We celebrated my son’s birthday last night. Chris and Tasso were so friendly and patient with the gaggle of teenagers that trickled in late:). Daniel mixed some great drinks. The service was exceptional; the food was great. The hummus, gyros, Greek style potatoes, and “flaming” cheese were among my favorites. Thank you to all of the staff for making my son’s day extra special!
Great spot for Greek. Full bar and reasonable wine list. Food was excellent (lamb shank) and our server (I think Gary?) Was amazing. Knew the history of the place, good recommendations and when a few things slipped as they were busy he got it handled asap. Will be back.
