We had the pleasure of having dinner from this wonderful restaurant.The moussaka is out of this world and very filling.I usually get the Greek salad and grilled vegetables with it. Needless to say, I get 2 meals out of this.My husband had the chicken souvlaki with lemon potatoes and lemon soup.I’m ready to go into a food coma, my stomach is so full but very happy.
Top-rated Greek cuisine, friendly staff, and a authentic atmosphere makes this restaurant a wonderful experience!! Youll be definitely recommending it for those who seek something different in restaurants and fans of Greek culture. I highly recommend this restaurant to dine next!!
This place is my go to for greek food. Always such a great experience and never a disappointment. The food is high quality, authentic and consistent week after week. It’s the real deal if you want authentic greek cooking. The staff is super friendly, very warm, warm, welcoming and sweet. The owner is simply amazing. This place is highly recommended.
My family and I originally went to “fresko souvlaki & gyro house” but upon arrival we felt unwelcome and left. We found this spot shortly after and we loved how we were welcomed. The food was so good and fresh. We had the calamari, chicken gyro, and lamb gyro. I highly recommend this spot. Thank you guys for the fantastic meal and friendly service! See you soon :)
I visited the Greek City Grill a few times in the past year. On my first visit I expected the typical falafel which one might expect in fast food establishment. However, the falafel they served was made with less oil and had a wonderful consistency.When I returned I continued to order falafel, lemon potatoes, grilled vegetables, as desserts. All are made with attention to quality. Their dishes are made with fresh ingredients and served with pride.I look forward to greeting their staff each time I come to visit. They create a comfortable atmosphere, provide quality service, and always tend to send me away with a smile.I highly recommend the Greek City Grill for dining in with a small group or take out. They offer typical dishes and many traditional Greek dishes in a clean restaurant. The food is healthy and well made, and the staff is top notch.
Thank you, Greek City Grill!Truly, the BEST Greek spot in all of Long Island (and of what I tried in NYC). You will NOT be disappointed! Everything from the meats to the pita to the desserts and customer service is all outstanding. I have a dairy allergy and the ladies that work there are always so kind and accommodating for me. The food is beyond outstanding. My fiancé and I love this place so so much and can’t wait to continue coming here ☺️!!If you enjoyed this review, check us out on our Long Island Instagram @andiamoadventure
Hands down, Greek City Grill is the best Greek food in all of Nassau County. I am of Greek descent so my expectations regarding Greek/Middle Eastern cuisine are very high. The flavors are delicately balanced and incredibly authentic. The portions are enormous, delicious, and very filling! The pork and chicken souvlaki are seasoned to PERFECTION. The lemon potatoes were perfectly crisped and the horiatiki was so fresh! Of course to top it off, we had 2 orders of loukoumades (1 order drizzled in honey, walnuts, and cinnamon and the another order drizzled in Nutella). Not exaggerating when I say top 2 loukoumades I’ve ever had IN MY LIFE. My family and I were greeted by the lovely owners and staff. Let me tell you, the service surpassed my expectations. The warmest people you’ll ever meet; made us feel like we were family. I literally felt like I was eating at a Greek Taverna in Greece. The restaurant is immaculate, the food is fresh, and the service was impeccable. What more could you ask for? Greek City Grill has quickly become the “go-to Greek spot” for our family!!!
This new Greek casual spot is amazing. Delicious food with a slightly different flavor profile that will not disappoint. So far weve had the soups, falafel, souvlaki, gyro, spreads, greek fries and octopus. One is better than the next. Outdoor tables coming soon as per owner. This is family owned and operated and they are the nicest, friendliest people. The desserts alone are worth a visit with a cupnof greek coffee or frappe (greek iced coffee)
Im rarely one to write a review but I JUST HAD TO FOR GREEK CITY GRILL!I came here for a dear friends birthday dinner and can I tell you, the comfortable and cozy atmosphere perfectly complimented the delicious food. The best way I can describe the energy of Greek City Grill is your Greek grandmothers kitchen mixed with the excitement and ease you feel when catching up with an old high school friend. THE STAFF IS AMAZING. THE AUTHENTIC FOOD IS AMAZING. PLEASE WEAR LOOSE FITTING PANTS AND ASK FOR EXTRA NAPKINS BECAUSE YOULL BE LICKING YOUR FINGERS!Highly recommend for a relaxed first date location, go-to lunch spot, or even a warm and reliable place to meet up with friends. Will definitely be going back!
I had high expectations from this place seeing all these 5 star reviews. Let me tell you I was extremely disappointed, chicken souvlaki was so weird. First it wasn’t on the sticks that I usually get, the lemon potatoes were not even lemony and were a weird unappetizing brown color. The chicken didn’t seem grilled it was cooked on a griddle. They added green beans which I didn’t ask for which I don’t mind but were drowning in oil . The whole dish was swimming trying to stay afloat on oil. The only good thing was the side salad, other than that never again won’t even try again !
This place looked new and gave it a try. The reviews dont look too honest because most the Google reviews are people with 1 or 2 reviews meaning mostly friends and family. The food is fresh and not over the top. The gyro was ok, not too much meat but was mostly filled with lettuce, tomatoes and onions. It was more like a gyro salad than a gyro. The chicken souvlaki was good, mostly white meat but not char grilled.. just boring pan cooked. The Greek salad and the lemon potatoes were up to par. The falafel was fresh and tasty and accompanying sauces were very flavorful. The place could do better if the gyro had more meat and if they char grill all the meats for the soyvlaki.
Greek City Grill has the best Greek food I have had in a REALLY long time, and I am a picky eater who LOVES Greek food!!! I had their spinach pie dinner with the soup and WOW how authentic, superb, and delicious!!! Their portions are generous, their prices are completely reasonable, their staff is professional and caring, and the restaurant is clean. I will DEFINITELY be back!
I never write reviews about any places, but Greek City Grill deserves more than 5 stars.I am one of the pickiest easters where I always find something wrong with my food. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this place.Everything I have tried so far is cooked perfectly texture and taste wise. All their food is homemade!!! One of my favorites to eat is the chicken gyro. Their pita is the best, it’s not oily or dry!!! I’m obsessed. Definitely a must try place.
I’m so happy my family and I came across Greek City Grill today. My sister ordered the falafel platter which came with a lentil soup and Greek salad…she loved it everything (She’s vegan and one of the pickiest eaters I know)My mom had the chicken gyro platter which came with a chicken and lemon soup and roasted lemon potatoes…mom says the soup was delicious and loved the chicken gyro as well, I ordered the chicken souvlaki platter with grilled veggies and a Greek salad and it was sooo good, the chicken was so tender and perfectly seasoned. We also had the grilled octopus appetizer and it was perfectly cooked I’m so happy we ordered it. Not chewy and soo fresh! I will definitely come back and recommend Greek City Grill for anyone looking for authentic fresh Greek food.Last but not least the service was outstanding, the young lady whom assisted us was so friendly, kind and just made us feel welcomed and at home. Thank you for a great lunch experience today! Already looking forward to next time!!
Excellent takeout Greek food. My spinach pie & salad were delicious. The feta cheese was as good as I had when I was in Greece. The dressing in the salad was delicious. In other words, the food was very good. Anna, who takes your order, is so pleasant to speak to. I highly recommend it.
Unbelievably friendly staff. I watched as they answered questions from other customers as I waited for my take out order. I dont know her name but the young girl was very kind and engaging. We spoke for quite a bit. And the food! Omg... the food! Soooo good. They even had one of my favorite desserts that I usual travel into Queens to get. My boyfriend and I loved it. My dad recommended it to us and Im so glad he did. Cant wait to go back!
Ordered 1 lamb Gyro and the Grilled Octopus App. Lamb Gyro was flavorful but had minimal meat, was loaded with lettuce/tomatoes. Grilled Octopus was inedible, complete rubber, both my dad and I had to spit it out. Told me 30min, got there 30min from phone call, waited another 20min. Disappointed. Nice staff, however, the owner/manager sat in the only open chair the entire duration of my wait.
Came when they first opened and they knocked it out of the park. Now this is my 10th time since and it’s always been on point. From the gyro sandwiches/platters to the desserts. Everything smells and tastes homemade!! Easily one of the best hidden gems in the neighborhood!! Thank you for the great service 😊😊

2022-04-16Greek City Grill is a great place to have lunch or dinner any day of the week. Their menu varies from appetizers, sandwiches, dinner, and desserts. I didn’t grow up eating Greek food but I throughly enjoy this place. The service and food are both excellent. There is also parking. They also serve a tasty Greek seltzer beverage. Highly recommend this establishment.

2022-07-10Amazing service and fantastic food! By far the best falafel I’ve had in probably 20 years. Everything is fresh and full of flavor. We’ve been to most local Greek restaurants and this little place wins for best Greek food in my opinion. It’s most authentic and the people there are genuinely kind and happy to serve their amazing food. Will definitely be going back for our take out nights and trying more menu items!

2022-07-10This is our fifth time ordering from Greek City Grill. Every experience was better than the last one. This is not only the best Greek food I’ve had but some of the best food I’ve ever had. We have sampled lots of entrees on the menu and have never been disappointed. I can recommend this restaurant very highly which is why we gave it 5 stars.

2022-02-19Stopped in on a whim. The place was friendly and warm. The only thing better than the service was the food. Being very familiar with Greek food, Greek City Grill knows their culinary. A variety of meals and pastries at a fantastic price. Plan to go back soon.

2022-01-16A good friend of mine wanted me to try out the food at this place, since he himself is Greek and knows that I do enjoy a good gyro. The place is casual and has a nice atmosphere. Overall, just reminds me of a nice place to stop by and get a variety of Greek food. I got good service, so I at least can appreciate that.

2022-04-16Cannot state enough how amazing this food was. My wife and I stopped in after an appointment nearby. Extremely friendly staff. We split the grilled octopus appetizer which was cooked perfectly and tasted great. I had the pork souvlaki platter and my wife had the chicken souvlaki platter, both came with a side (we both opted for the grilled vegetables - peppers, eggplant, and zucchini). Both dishes were again cooked perfectly, the meat was juicy and the veggies were great. The lemon soup was very flavorful.The staff was extremely helpful and friendly!We ordered more to take home and look forward to coming back for more!
