Reviews
I am not sure how to feel about this place yet,, I think I have to give it another try or maybe I had high expectations. We ordered the Greek fries which were a bit soggy and not crispy as I was hoping. We also ordered the halloumi sticks which were good and not too greasy, I recommend a bit of lemon juice on top. We also ordered a gyro salad with gyro and fries on top, it was so big but was light and delicious, highly recommend it. Lastly I ordered the traditional lamb stew with orzo , I was very excited about it but it tasted very tart as if they put too much tomato paste inside, I wouldn't recommend it. Customer service is fantastic here and people seem to be genuinely kind , I am hoping to try more menu options and to try many of their desserts in the future. I will also try their other location to compare.
Highly recommend simply Greek. The food was outstanding, service amazing and comfortable atmosphere. We ordered the grilled for two but four people could have shared this.
LOVE the new location! It is so spacious and very inviting inside. The staff is also very kind and attentive...you feel welcomed right away. Now for the food/drinks: To start, my friend and I got the Halloumini cheese sticks and the Melitzanosalata (eggplant) dip. The dip was my favorite!!! It was the perfect balance of flavors and spices, tasted super fresh AND was served with warm pita bread...you can't go wrong. I wanted to love the halloumini sticks, but they sort of just reminded me of a mozzarella stick you would get from the grocery store. I wish they had some spices or some other flavor that made them pop. Then, I got the build-your-own chicken bowl. This chicken was so tasty! I really loved the portion because now I have lunch tomorrow. The one criticism I have with my entree would be their rice/quinoa mix. I read a different review that said their rice tasted like Uncle Bens quick rice...and I hate to agree with them, but they are correct. Maybe they can look into using authentic medium grain or long grain rice? Lastly, I would like comment about my drink. I got their unsweetened iced tea. I know it sounds boring, but it had herbal notes and was actually slightly sweet due to the earthy quality. I really enjoyed how refreshing it was. Besides certain things that were slightly off...I would definitely come back! They have great food! I would like to try some of their traditional dishes next.
Soooo Gooood!!!! Food is amazing, staff is great, restaurant is comfortable. You should go and visit.
Dessert only review The inside is clean and spacious. The lady working the counter was super helpful and helped us look through the menu and explained the few things we hadn't heard of before. We tried one of each of the homemade Greek yogurt soft serve flavors and the baklava cheesecake ...the baklava cheesecake was very delicious but the pastry part of it was very difficult to eat since the cream cheese softened the pastry into a sturdy solid piece instead of flaky. Out of all of the yogurt flavors we tried, which were baklava, honey, olive oil, and sour cherry. We all had different favorites. I personally really enjoyed the olive oil flavor, which was unexpected.
