    I just visited this awesome restaurant and I couldn't be happier. Everything is outstanding: decorations, ambiance, music, food, and servers. I really want to give a huge shout out to our mesero, his name is David. David is very knowledgeable and polite. He addresses you by your first name making you feel like old friends. The food is exquisite and portions are great. I am really enchanted. Big kudos. Ernesto & Celia

    Spectacular!!!! This is a definite go to restaurant. The ambiance, decor, food, drinks, service, music, entertainment, EVERYTHING was GREAT! Dinner and a show plus audience participation... the energy was electrifying. We (9 of us) had such an amazing time for my best friends birthday. I would, most definitely, without a doubt go back and highly recommend this place to everyone.

    Ilios Greek Restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience with its inviting ambiance and tasteful decor. The warm, Mediterranean-inspired atmosphere creates the perfect backdrop for a delightful meal. From the moment you step in, you're greeted by a welcoming vibe that sets the tone for an enjoyable evening. The attention to detail in the decor reflects the restaurant's commitment to providing not just a meal, but a memorable culinary journey. The combination of delicious Greek cuisine and a charming setting makes Ilios a must-visit for those seeking both exquisite flavors and a pleasing environment.

    Top-notch restaurant for a guaranteed ecstatic culinary experience. An extra bonus - enchanting performance of fire dancing, acrobatics, and bellydancing. Good choice for celebrating a special event as the staff brings the show to your table. Tasty drinks (and quite generous in size) served in artful vessels which are beautifully arranged with fruit and leaves. Aside from all of the spectacular flashy decor and performance, the food is phenomenal. Tip — the cauliflower is a surprising delight (plus your mom will be proud that you’re eating your vegetables). Great sauces to complement each dish. The seafood is amazing — everything we tasted was high quality food. My visit was during Valentine’s Day, so the rose was on the table for all couples. That was sweet! The desert was quite experiencing — I’m not quite sure how that worked but what I was was a live rose dipped into a cup with smoking liquid. Then the leaves were crumbled by hand onto the plate around the pastry. I’ll add the video if I can.

    Edit: a few hours after eating there, 2 of the guests threw up 13 times and the food poison continues during the morning. This didn’t happen even when we ate in street stands days ago. Also was the only food in the full day so nothing else could cause it… Unacceptable for the price you pay! The food was not that special. I would say choose something cheap and enjoy some drinks. Some took the lobster for example and it was not well cook (overcooked, no fresh flavour, the sauce was not accurate, not worth the price). For the service, good but dancing too much around the table in a direct and somehow uncomfortable way. The spectacle is nice, and I think that was the real deal here. However it lasted a few minutes. We arrived at 21:00, there were some dancers and things, then all went off for the rest of the night. Finally we were forced to give a minimum of 15% tip, so add this to your price. Again unacceptable, I will give the tip I want. Won’t come back

    Amazingly good experience. We went here for our first Anniversary Dinner. They made our occasion very very special including complimentary desert, took pictures for us. The ambience was lovely. Great quick service. Food was very good. Everyone was very responsive of our needs. Axel and Daniel are amazing. They went above and beyond their job. Victor was very helpful as well. Everyone visiting Cancun should come here. I Highly recommend this place and will always come back here when I am in Cancun ever❤️❤️❤️

    As we stepped into Llios we were struck by its design and layout, making it one of the nicest dining environments in the city together with the Atmosphere and ambiance. The Kebab and Gyritos at Llios are simply excellent - each bite of the kebab was perfect. Overall, Llios is a must-visit for anyone looking for an authentic Greek dining experience in Cancun. From its interior to its exceptional cuisine, Highly recommended!

    Great experience, unusual restaurant, mixed between food and culture, music from Greece, Middle East, Armenia, Italy and Spanish culture. Food is great. Beautiful view, unfortunately it started raining and had to lower the shades.

    The food was amazing and the restaurant was gorgeous. However, there’s parts that totally spoiled our experience. The main being the music. To preface, my wife and I are 24 and enjoy a lively atmosphere in a restaurant with music. We brought my parents who are fairly young as well and aren’t picky people, but this experience was something else. We were the first there for dinner at 7 on a Wednesday night, the place was nearly empty and the music was BLASTING. Our party of 4 couldn’t hear each other speak. I asked the waiter if the music could be turned down for a bit but he laughed at me and essentially said “fat chance, deal with it.” We had to yell at each other or sit in complete silence. Tables next to use were visibly upset and I agreed to speak up for the surrounding tables but to no avail. We spent $350 on this dinner, and the food was fantastic, but we missed out on any other enjoyment. Would have loved to spend another few dinners here during our vacation here in Cancun, spend probably another $1,000, but we didn’t want another experience like this. BTW, it’s a Greek restaurant, if you want to play music, I’d suggest something that doesn’t sound like I’m in a club in Dubai.

    This a great Greek Restaurant in Cancun, Mexico! I believe it is a must-go if you’re in town. They put on an extraordinary show at night, with acrobatics! Besides that, the food is excellent! We had seafood dishes that were delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    This place is one of the places and experiences that i will never forget. It was beautiful and so fun. The staff is so helpful and attentive. The prices are reasonable in comparison to flavor, the scenery, the attention etc. Christian, Hiram, Vasquez and his partner that day were so helpful. I definitely will come back every time i visit Cancun. 💕🫡

    Service at the restaurant was commendable. However, while the food was satisfactory in taste, it fell short of capturing the authentic essence of Greek cuisine I experienced in Athens and Crete. The flavors were acceptable, but the departure from the true essence of the dishes left room for improvement in delivering an authentic culinary experience.

  • 3/5 Alberto T. 3 months ago on Google • 30 reviews New
    The food is superb: we ordered the lamb shank, eggplant, olives, Greek potatoes and oysters. Everything was exquisite. We paired it with a nice Spanish wine. The service was good, everyone was attentive and our plates came out very fast. The only issue (and the reason why I will NEVER go back to that restaurant) is the sound: they have an ongoing show all through the night, but the music and the sound blasting are unbearable. You can’t have a conversation with the person really got next to you. That is not what I’m looking for when going out for dinner with friend or family.

    Loved the experience at Ilios! We visited the restaurant on a Monday night so it wasn’t very crowded. Andrea and Henry served us with big smiles and great recommendations. The food was good but the mixology experience was great. The mixologist prepared our drinks right at our table. The thing that actually surprised us and turned out to be the highlight of our night was the dance music and smashing of the plates. Overall the ambience, service, food and drinks were amazing and we would definitely return!! A must go if you are in the surrounding area.

    This place is awesome. The food is exquisite, plenty of food, delicious. The staff is very professional. They know how to treat the customers and keep an eye on you all the time, cleaning the table, serving water and food in time. They explain all the preparation details of the food being served in this restaurant. The decoration is beautiful with an excellent view at the lake. I recommend this place to everyone. You will not regret. They perform dancing and fire show during all night, really good. Good vibes you will experience at Ilios restarant in Cancun, MX. I received an especial treatment from all the staff specifically: Carlos, Memito, Jaya, Fernando. They did a really good job with a high professionalism.

    Really great time the staff were great The atmosphere was really good The restaurant is built over a lagoon and when the screens were opened a cooling breeze came over the restaurant There were belly dancers and they looked after several birthday parties The food was presented in lovely plates There was a DJ playing great music Overall would visit again and make a first choice for celebrating occasions

    This place is up there as one of our favourite dining experiences. First of all, the service was phenomenal and I know service is amazing everywhere is Mexico but they really took it to the next level. We went with our 8 month old baby and the staff tried their best to entertain him so my husband and I could enjoy our meal. Carlos, our server, was excellent. The food - amazing! We loved the piperi octopus, beef cheek orzo and seafood rice. The dolmades, hummus and shishito peppers were good, I would skip the potatoes next time. The drinks - loved that the mixologist made them to order at our table. We highly recommend coming here if you visit Cancun!!

  • 5/5 Broly R. 4 months ago on Google
    Absolutely perfect. The food, the service, the staff, the atmosphere, the view, the gorgeous carvings. Everything! The apps we shared were the kalmata olives and spanakopita. For my main, I had the 'Meraki Spaghetti.' Our only little hiccup for our evening was of our own doing... and is now a funny story we have enjoyed telling about how dinner on our final day in Cancun drained every last bit of free-spending cash I had for the trip, though I had been hoping to have at least $500CAD leftover by the time we returned home. My handsome and wonderful husband did not know what wagyu steak was until after we left the restaurant, and I told him the bill was a little over 2 times what we expected it to be. I was unprepared since it was our last night in Cancun and my "vacation spending" account had only what we expected to pay for dinner plus cab fare and lunch for the airport the next day. I had to do a quick etransfer in order to settle the bill after my first attempt failed due to lack of funds. Haha, he thought he was ordering just a normal ribeye steak, and even commented after how it was the best steak he's ever had in his life and that he "can't even fathom how a piece of meat could taste so great." Now I joke about how when boxing day (big sales day for retail in Canada) comes, I might accidentally purchase some expensive shoes on his card instead of mine 🤣🤣 We will certainly return to this restaurant when we visit Cancun again...and he will make sure he doesn't make that same mistake again 😜 😆

    This place was a 10/10 experience all around. The restaurant itself was gorgeous right on the water. The staff treats you like royalty from the moment you walk in. The food is amazing. We didn’t know before, there is a fire and belly dancing show at 830 on the weekends and it was incredible. They offer hookah for the table as well. At the end they gave us evil eye bracelets which was the nicest ending touch. Highly recommend and will definitely go again. Special thanks to our waiters Jorge and Jesy.

    Absolutely wonderful restaurant, from the very friendly girl at the reception to all the excellent waitresses and waiters. Manager was a really nice guy and came over chatting on several occasions. Food was exceptional we all had different and thoroughly enjoyed it. The place itself is stunning what a beautiful restaurant and the 2 lovely belly dance girls topped off a wonderful night. Thank you

    Restaurant is at Blvd Kukulkan and is easily accessed by guest and the Hotel Zone. They let me in even without a reservation. All of the staff is experienced and polite. The food is very specific, but is good. This is a spectacular place to watch the sunset. Special thanks to Dani and Leon.

  • 5/5 r B. 10 months ago on Google
    This is an amazing place, but I honestly have a very difficult time describing it. This really is not a restaurant and more like a live fire and dance show that happens to have a restaurant. The food is very good and very authentic Greek food almost better than many Greek restaurants I’ve gone to any united states. The main thing that has experience, it’s just amazing. I could not imagine the shows and the celebration. the other funny part is the hostess to walk you down to your table really look like Victoria’s Secret models. The service was excellent and very attentive

  • 5/5 Jhonny P. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing experience, real good food and their shows were really entertaining and well executed. Definitely a must try if you’re in Cancun. The chef is Lebanese and their food is authentic with a modern twist. Will visit next time we’re in Cancun! Ask for Erick Pablo, he was amazing as well, and stayed around us all the time. PS: the DJ is one of the best honestly, he did a phenomenal job. A lot of Arabic songs that are new, the atmosphere was amazing.

  • 5/5 Lina A. 1 year ago on Google
    A must go to restaurant in Cancun. The restaurant has a gorgeous design and atmosphere. The food was spectacular. The chicken was tender and well seasoned. I also liked their drinks and desserts. The service is as great as everything else. Joss and Brian were very nice and attentive.

  • 5/5 Natalie Y. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is amazing!! The service and food is excellent! The atmosphere is fantastic. So beautiful right on the water. The music they play is from all over the world. They let you break a plate which is fun! This whole place turns into such a fun party! Highly recommend!

  • 4/5 Alonso A. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful restaurant overlooking the lagoon, very nicely decorated inspired by Mediterranean culture. The food is very good and the service always attentive. While the Greek salad was very forgettable, with very big chunks and not amazingly seasoned, the filled calamari are absolutely delicious. The restaurant does have some flair with sparklers going around and a show that starts at night, so if your looking for a more quiet dinner I’d recommend to go early and enjoy the sunset. In conclusion, they really know how to create an experience and it’s a very good disconnection from the usual Mexican seafood that is on offer.

  • 5/5 M K. 2 years ago on Google
    This restaurant is stunning with jaw dropping decor. The service was very good - Alexis and Julio were great. The belly dancers and live entertainment were a lot of fun. The food was delicious- we had the stuffed squid (highly recommend!), meatballs, octopus carpacious and grilled fish. All exceeded our expectations. There were many girls standing around waiting to bring sparklers to tables (seemed strange but I guess part of the fun).

  • 5/5 Margarita A. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome!! The food was really good, the show they offer is also awesome (belly dancers, fire show, stunt). The place has an amazing view, you should get there around 6:30-7 pm so you can enjoy the sunset. We ordered something that was like a meat pie, the Greek fish and some entrees. We went with our little ones, and even though they enjoy the shows and the food, it’s a place you might enjoy better with your couple or friends and not kids.

  • 5/5 Megan P. 2 years ago on Google
    Cannot reccomend this restaurant enough. Such a beautiful atmosphere combined with exceptional food and drinks. Our waiter was Umberto and he was just on top of everything and so kind. The view is to die for. I’ve been to a lot of restaurants in my life but this one left me speechless. Definitely try and get there for the sunset around 7 but if you can stay until 10:30 and make an evening out of it!

  • 5/5 J S. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent service provided at this location! The food, drinks, & pastries were all prepared properly. Call ahead to see show times for dinner, it is a must see! After dinner enjoy hookah or a nice cigar along with your cocktails etc. The view at this location was amazing, be prepared to stay for at least 2 hours to enjoy the entire menu offerings.

The dish came with chips and an awesome...
