Ilios Crafted Greek - Stonecrest — Restaurant in Charlotte

I frequently pick up the wonderful food from this establishment… tonight was the same as always however… during a high volume ordering and pick up time, the 1 register (you need 2, bottom line no matter what) had 1 attendant who was training a new employee which is totally understandable… but you never, ever let the customer suffer, by holding up the line for checking out as the food packaged up is sitting on the line … you quickly push the new employee aside, quickly get your customers checked out, and then it’s back to training… “Training” is done so that the employee learns and the customer is not impacted… this is business 101. In addition, it’s 72 degrees with 92% dew point and your a/c ?? Was off. So I stood in line, 5 people deep, while my food cooled on the side and I sweated.

1. keep temp at 68
2. Get 2 check outs and learn how to train where customer is not impacted

As I know how important reviews can be for any business, I am adjusting my post. Although I stand firm on my initial statement, I frequently take out from this restaurant and the food is absolutely incredible. Line cooks and staff are simply lovely and are extremely personable…. everyone always has a smile and is...

From the moment we stepped in, we were welcomed with warmth and energy—especially thanks to Vito, whose spark and hospitality truly elevated the experience. He has that rare kind of presence that makes you feel like you’re not just dining out, but being taken care of.

The food? Absolutely unforgettable. The lamb gyro was tender, perfectly seasoned, and wrapped in pillowy pita with just the right amount of char. The beef salad was a standout—fresh, vibrant greens layered with rich, flavorful slices of beef and a citrusy finish that balanced everything out. And don’t skip the spicy feta mezze—creamy, zesty, and addictive with warm pita or fresh veggies.

Every dish felt crafted with care, and the atmosphere was both lively and relaxed. Ilios is the kind of place you find yourself planning to return to before you’ve even finished your meal. With food this good and service that shines, especially from someone like Vito, it’s no surprise we’re already looking forward to...

If you’re looking for a hearty meal you gotta try this!! The Gentleman at the front was extremely respectful and very welcoming. He took my order and recommended what I should get since it was my first time there. I opted for the half chicken with seasonal fries and red hummus. I paid $18 which was great value for the amount of food and the freshness of the meal. Chicken was extremely juicy and very well cooked! I picked tzatziki and green goddess sauce, which was amazing! The potatoes were crispy on the outside soft in the inside. The chicken was so juicy It barely needed any dipping sauce. I was able to save some for the next day and it was even better! I wasn’t a huge fan of the red hummus because to my opinion it had too much feta cheese. But I must say it was pretty good just not my favorite. The restaurant was very clean and I loved how they have to go boxes at a self serve station. Everything about this Restaurant was a 10 out of 10....
