Mousa Tapas - Joliet

I have been here a few times and you can't beat this place. When you go out to dinner you want the whole package to be great, ambiance, food, service and the value. This restaurant has it all. The wine is reasonably priced. The food is great. We ordered the mixed grill for a appetizer and the octopus was a good size. Was expecting a tiny piece but it was big. Dinner was a mixed platter for 2 but it can feed more. Mix of sausage, kebabs, gyro, pita bread, potatoes. So good. Mousa has become one of my favorites

Exceptional, authentic Greek food! Nothing else like it!

Place is very nice inside. Old world meets modern decor. Will go back for sure. Service was spot on! The food delish. Had the kabobs steak and chicken. Very tender. Will recommend

The spread sampler and gyro platter were delicious! Huge portions! Our waiter, Nick, was great. We will definitely be back!

I'll start out with the good. The service we received was excellent and the drinks were good. We also enjoyed the grilled calamari and octopus. But the main reason we won't be returning is because, aside from the grilled seafood appetizer, everything else we ate was terrible. I brought my father here for his 70th birthday and spent the night apologizing for how bad the food was. My lamb chops, while cooked perfectly medium, were tough and chewy. I've never had such tough lamb chops. They were so tough that you want to spit them out after a while because you're just tired of chewing so much. My mother's pork chop was so tough and dry that she had to saw through it (not an exaggeration) just to cut off a piece. My father ordered the big sampler platter and was so disappointed. The Greek sausage was dry, the gyros were tough and strangely sweet, and everything was completely covered in onions (way too much). He managed to eat some of the chicken kebobs because they were the least terrible thing on the platter. My husband ordered the pork kebobs and thought they were okay, but wouldn't get them again. Two weeks later and we're still talking about how bad the food was, and we all agreed we'd never go back again. Mousa's was MUCH better when they were Spanish tapas. What a shame they changed direction.
