We hit the pavement from the downtown old-school counters to the northwest-side spots with the spotless floors and the family-friendly quirks, and we found everything from a Chicago-style rendition with tender beef to a Persian take that redefines the whole game. Sweis Greek Cafe gets the crown, but Akropolis will put up a fight.
