Greek Cuisine
Greek food is a fine melody of the finest pressed olive oil, fresh fermented bread, colorful vegetables, juicy meat, sea food all cooked in spices and fresh rosemary. The people from Greek were great scholars who aimed to excel in everything they do. The results are quite visible in their food as they are the inventors of olive oil which is beneficial to health. Greeks also made different type of wines from the best quality of grapes fermented in controlled environment.
Today, you can find hundreds of restaurants offering authentic Greek food or popularly termed as Mediterranean cuisine in New York city alone. People wait in line to taste the exotic Greek dishes like saganaki, taramasalata, souvlaki, loukoumades, spanakopita, moussaka, and many more. One thing which most people like about these authentic Greek dishes is abundant use of lemon juice, olive oil, fresh rosemary and sea salt. A smart mix of few ingredients can virtually take you on the pebble streets of beautiful city of Greece.
For those who don't have time to enjoy fine dining should try tasting the famous souvlaki with pita which is type of meat dish, also a trademark Greek fast food. For those who are vegetarian, or vegan can try different versions of Greek Salad. So, if you wish to enjoy a hearty yet healthy meal that tastes divine then try dining at the best Greek restaurant in your city. Greek cuisine not only tastes good but also help maintain your body in a natural way through healthy diet.

Best gyros I've had around town! Seriously though, they are delicious and huge. About $7 a pop too which is reasonable. I also recommend the feta fries. Great after bar meal if you are at one of the neighborhood bars (Richland, McGinty's, LVT, etc..) Just make sure to brush the inevitable onion stank off your teeth if you plan on getting lucky.

This is one of my go-to places in Lakewood for take-out. I've made my way through a lot of their menu and haven't had any complaints. I'm guessing most people do the gyros, and they're pretty solid and well priced. My current favorite is the Olympus platter. The half-size is enough for two meals and has allll sorts of magic happening in the dish. I see a lot of people complaining about the service -- not sure what that's about. This is a no-frills shop whose focus is the food. Don't want to wait an hour for delivery? Pick it up. We had one mishap with a pick-up order and they left off a dish. When I called back, they knew who I was immediately and delivered the remaining dish to my apartment so quickly the food was still hot.

It's been a very busy week for me, so I've been trying a whole bunch of different cuisines/ takeout/ delivery places that I haven't had a chance to try since I've moved to Lakewood. I have absolutely been craving Greek food for weeks, and this place is delicious!! I ordered the Athenian Platter with the chicken souvlaki as well as a small Greek salad. Both were very delicious and had the right amount of seasonings and love put into them. (: I ordered it on the way home from the gym, and they were at my house with my dinner by the time I got home from Rocky River (so fast!!!!!) The woman who delivered it was very friendly, and I will definitely be ordering from them again!!! Thank you for feeding me tonight! :D
(5)Chas M.
Place is full of arrogant morons. Tried to order and got put on hold for 10 minutes....when I called back I got attitude. Miserable customer service and I wouldnt give them a dime.....
(1)Sheena W.
We went here for a take-out feast of Greek food. The two young ladies taking orders and working the cash register were very friendly and helpful which is always great to encounter. The prices however, I think are a little bit high and I really disagree with charging extra for lettuce on a gyro when all you want to do is substitute it for the tomatoes. Now on to the food: American Gyro - It was okay, the meat was a little too salty for my taste. *Spinach Artichoke Feta Dip with Fried Pita Chips - Amazing! The kind of stuff you know is clogging your arteries but you don't care. Dolmades - Stuffed grape leaves were okay. Spanakopita - Spinach and cheese were okay. Fries - Normal. *Small Greek Salad - Nice and tasty. Perfect addition to all the meat entrees. *Souvlaki Platter - Get the pork, very good on pita with some onion and tzatziki sauce. *Roasted Red Pepper Hummus - Very tasty! Baklava - Had an odd taste of cinnamon or something to it. Galaktobouriko - Cold and syrupy, but a strange dessert I could not stop eating. All in all, it was a nice sampling of Greek food, and I would go back for a couple dishes like the Spinach Dip and the Souvlaki Platter. Mmm!

The restaurant itself is small yet very clean. I've had food from here before and it was good, and this second visit was even better. I got my order for takeout and had my food in less than 3 minutes and it was super affordable. I got the American Gyro on a wheat pita and the spinach artichoke dip with warm pita wedges. Both dishes were very hot and fresh. I'll start with the spinach artichoke dip and pita wedges. You get a generous serving of the dip with warm pita pieces. I found it very hard to stop eating the wedges on the way home they were that good. The dip was delectably salty like a good spinach artichoke dip should be. I wanted to eat it with a spoon. The American Gyro has the traditional beef/lamb mix, a sauce and topped with onions and tomatoes. There was a generous portion of gyro meat and plenty of that sauce. It was absolutely delicious. I saw that this establishment is open until 3am on Saturdays which I am sure they make a killing on these days because these gyros would be the perfect ending to a night at the bar. I can't wait to return again.
(5)Deanna E.
Ok I am home sick today and decided I wanted some comfort food. I thought I'd give this place another try. Delivery was late about 25mins, but I really don't mind, especially if the food is good. -American Gyro: Very good I liked how the edges of the meat were really crispy. -Drink I wanted Coke Zero they gave me Diet Coke, BIG difference! Yuck. -Feta Fries: SO GOOD. They are worth $6.00. -Chocolate Baklava: Easily my favorite dessert. At first I was reluctant to pay 3.50 for one triangle but there's a lot of chocolate. This really hit the spot.
(4)Beth M.
This place is great, and I find myself ordering carry out maybe an embarrassing amount. I love love love their Greek Salad and all of their meat dishes. They have a dip trio that includes this cheesy feta concoction which is insane.
(4)Allison F.
If you're looking for a fast and delicious lunch or dinner- this is a great stop. Authentic flavor and all of the ingredients are FRESH. The American gyro and the Philly gyro are our favorites. The fries are also fresh and tasty. For dessert- the cheesecake is so so. The baklava is outstanding. Large portions but worth being stuffed!!!
(5)Jacki G.
I've tried several items on the menu including gyros, salads, fries, Diwali, and Greek platters, all have been delicious! Great for takeout or delivery
(4)Britney M.
I used to really enjoy this place until they started charging me almost $7 for a pita, lettuce, cucumber, and sauce. How about create a vegetarian sandwich that's reasonably priced?! Also, the delivery drivers will make up hours every other time you call in case they are feeling lazy and don't want to take out an order.
(1)Anthony B.
Everything I've had from here is absolutely phenomenal... and they deliver! Open late for after-the-bar or mid-party munchies, this is one of my perennial favorites. I live in Cuyahoga Falls now, and I still travel the 45 minutes or so just to eat their delicious food!
(5)Cara L.
I almost want to try every gyro place just to prove that Greek Village is the best. I can't explain in words how amazing I find this place. I love the american gyro, the roasted red pepper hummus and the feta fries! I always recommend this place to anyone who wants a gyro in Cleveland. The extra plus side to this place is that they deliver!!
(5)Carrie B.
Let's face it, this place is all about the gyros. I've tried different items on the menu, but they were so so and I wouldn't be moved to order them again. The gyros however are delicious! They shave the meat right off the skewer to order and its plentiful and juicy. This is my go to gyro spot.
(4)Danielle S.
What a great place for delicious, greasy food! I got a late-night lamb gyro the other night with an order of fries. Yes, it made my stomach a little uneasy, but what do you expect from this kind of food? It hit the spot. But watch out. There are so many onions that you will still taste them after two teeth brushings, haha.
(3)Tom M.
Update...after initial contact and NUMEROUS emails to the business...owner has still not kept his word. Spoke to some friends in Medina (their newest location) and they tried it once...same service, product and pricing issues! I renew my suggestion...RUN AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! There are many authentic Greek restaurants and even more Gyros available that are not only better priced, but made with attention to details and respect for the customer!
(1)Justin W.
The food is amazing. The delivery service, not so much. It is hit or miss. Usually takes an hour to get food but has taken 2 at times. I have had staff demand to use my phone to call the next stop. If the food wasn't so good I probably wouldn't keep coming back.
(3)Amanda H.
I was introduced to this place by my fiance as a late night food place for us to hit up after a night out. His only complaint is that the food can be very salty. I have been here a handful of times now and mostly for a take home dinner option during the week. I always get a chicken gyro and hummus...never been disappointed. Both are awesome. My fiance typically gets a platter of some sort...TONS of food on it! Excited to hear the owner is opening a spot downtown on West 9th Street. Only draw back, sometimes parking can be a pain depending on the time you go there.
(4)Jeremy K.
Best Gyros around. Finding an actual authentic Gyro place isnt easy but Greek Village is fantastic. Good portion size as well. They have a ton of different crazy gyro options to try out. They also deliver and are open late. Tey the double meat option for a couple bucks more. Sure to fill you up.
(4)Alex F.
I ordered delivery from there one day and it was fantastic. The food came in under 10 minutes which was a huge plus. The gyro itself was perfect. Nothing was too overpowering and baklava was a nice little treat at the end. Definitely will order again
(5)Sarah D.
We eat here even few months and have never had anything to complain about, last night was no different. The order was correct, with 3 changes. Also I sat down to wait and the food was done in 5 min. The quickest its ever been and it was 6:15. Just plain awesome as usual. Thanks guys.
(5)Ritu D.
I absolutely LOVE this place!! I've had it on multiple occasions. I've dined in, carried out, and actually had it delivered last night (to downtown through grubhub!! I was feeling lazy and was super pumped when I saw them on the list of restaurants!!!). The food is GREAT, the people who work there are SO friendly, delivery was fast and everything was fresh, and everything is very decently priced (I'm talking everything under 10 dollars - except the platters/combos)! We were talking about GVG the other day, which prompted me to get food delivered last night. Amazing as always. I know their specialty is their Gyros, but it's SUPER veggie friendly, too :) I always get their veggie wrap - lettuce, tomatoes, cukes, onions, greek spread, feta (you can add more toppings), on a warm pita. Their seasoned fries are decent, I've only had them once and wasn't all that impressed, so haven't had them since. I lovelovelove their spanakopita! And, their hot spinach and artichoke dip is ridiculously creamy and delicious - served with pita triangles that are flash fried and add to the awesomeness. I wasn't crazy impressed with the Tyrokafteri (spicy feta dip) - basically tasted like feta with hot sauce mixed in. Still tasted good, though... I mean it's CHEESE.. and hot sauce! And it came with the delish, fried pitas! They just opened a location in broadview heights. I hope they continue to expand and open new locations :) (maaaaybeeee a downtown one??? I'd probably be their number one customer!) - but for now, I'll continue making my way over to the Lakewood location :)
(5)Tony L.
Really disappointing, Tommy would not be happy, phone wrang girl took it off hook, Eric working was out front as they were getting orders, service is horrible I was alone in the restaurant for 10 min bymyself as phone wrang and Internet orders came in, would love for Tom to call people that ordered on Saturday night at 10pm, employees are ruining ur business, I ordered Mediterranean salad small gyro took 45 mins as I sat here waiting, every time the phone rings girl complains, sad I grew up with Toms family in Lakewood things so unacceptable! I love this place sad to see it ruined, Eric walked back in St 1045 with a six pack of to go beer from richland, didn't get my gyro meet with my salad and was actually so disgusted I threw out my order.
(1)Patrick G.
Be prepared to wait more then the estimated delivery time. I do like this place and have been a customer for years but delivery sometimes is a problem and can get frustrating.
(3)Bex C.
Well well well...1st of all, I'm visiting from Texas so I've never been here before. We were wanting delivery from somewhere unique. I chose this place because it had 4 stars and good reviews. Well I ordered at 9:08pm on the PayPal app. And they didn't deliver until 11:30pm. I had called numerous times throughout asking for the status of the order and they just kept saying it was on the way and it was just a busy night. I'm not sure how busy Monday nights can be... when we got the order, the order was incorrect. I had ordered 2 "Arizona" drinks and 1 pepsi- we received 3 coca colas. I had also ordered a side salad with ranch and received tomato, feta cheese, and cucumbers with some yellow sauce. My plate was ok tasting, it wasn't really amazing. But I give this review an extra star because the side potatoes were delicious and my food was still warm despite them taking 2.5 hours to deliver. My boyfriend gyro was made "dirty" which just had a bunch of fries added inside it, looked like more fries than meat. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone visiting Cleveland.
(2)Tim H.
Friendly staff, great gyros, and not a budget buster. If you're in the mood for a gyro they got you covered. Beware the onion. You'll be noticeably stinky well into the night after one of these. But that's the price you pay.
(4)Nikki L.
Delicious spinach dip, vegetarian moussaka... Small place no frills or alcoholic beverages. Would eat there again perfect for take out.
(4)Ian S.
Quality of the gyros is fantastic. Well seasoned, authentic, great portion. Quality of deserts is excellent as well. Eating in the restaurant is great. The tables are awkward and uncomfortable but the food is worth it. The place is small, but not crowded or cramped. The problem comes from their delivery service. The food arrives on time, but is usually wrong. My company ordered several times from this restaurant, and 6 times out of ten the order was not correct. You guys need to analyze the root cause of the problem with your delivery service on large orders, before you loose customers. Also, thankfully, they don't ruin gyros by putting lettuce in the mix. KEEP DOING THIS! Lettuce on a gyro is criminal!
(3)Milos M.
I've used to go to this restaurant 3 times a week when I went to Lakewood High and order either the mykonos, the village, or the....(the one with mustard and fries) gyros. They do gyros right and unique. From chicken to pork to the american with beef and lamb and on top of that 10+ specialty gyros as well. Oh and you can also get a WHEAT pita, yes a WHEAT PITA. They're french fries are amazing, although I recommend to eat them at the restaurant because they can get soggy when they get wrapped to go, tasty salt and oregano fries. The Hummus and Roasted Red Pepper Hummus is amazing, so delicious. The baklava is their 2nd best item, you can tell if it's good baklava if they took the time to fill each layer inbetween instead of doing what most people do and just put the sheets together and fill one layer. Atmosphere, very Mediterranean Greek with the white and blue like the flag, very beautiful music generally playing and of course they had the world cup soccer games playing on the TV when I was there a few days ago. The staff are very friendly and do a great job always whenever I get an order. Although I haven't gone here that much being on a workout diet, I still get the hummus with wheat pita every now and then and the village salad with american meat. I've probably spent well over 500 dollars together eating there, I haven't had one issue there ever.
(5)Jesco D.
Greek Village rules. Best gyros in town. Fries could be better, not over cooked and burnt. Gyros still rule though.
(4)Stacy P.
I have to first state that due to my diet restrictions, my reviews are based on what I can specifically eat and how/if the restaurant is able to accommodate their menu to meet my needs. This generally means that I cannot eat what a place is known for. I ordered the chicken kabobs with some rice and hummus. The chicken was dry and had no taste what so ever. The rice was ok and the biggest disappointment was the hummus. It was just bland. If you want to sit down and eat inside, there is very limited seating and it was extremely hot inside, so I ended up taking the food to go. The people I went with said that the Gyro was great. Based on my meal, I think I will try another Greek restaurant.
(1)Bonnie B.
I'm beyond perplexed. I was placing an order for their regular American gyro and said "I'll have it with lettuce, tomato, tzatziki sauce, no onion". To which the girl behind the counter said, ok that will be extra. I said what will be extra? She said, the lettuce. Ummm, what? Isn't lettuce a given? That's like going to Subway or Jimmy John's or Dave's Cosmic Subs and them charging you extra, for LETTUCE. So, for $7.00 you get pita and meat. I was so annoyed by what had just happened, I walked out, gyro-less. Not because of the $0.50 extra cents for the lettuce (probably another $.50 for the tomatoes and another $.50 for the tzatziki sauce... I couldn't get past the ridiculousness of the lettuce charge to find out...), and went to Subway. I can see extra for out-of-the-box add on's like cheese, olives, mushrooms....but LETTUCE?! Poorly run business. Oh and by the way, there wasn't another soul in the place... probably because they charge $0.50 for lettuce.
(1)Andrew P.
Hole in the wall gyro place. I've never seen this many versions of a gyro. At least 15 with just one type of meat. Of which they have at least 3. If you enjoy variety. This is your place. Genuine Greek music playing on full blast. Bathroom must be in the back. Good food. Good prices.
(4)Jason W.
Great, authentic Greek cuisine made fresh to order! Tommy, the owner is very friendly and a great cook. You can't go wrong with the American gyro, but the Greek gyro (marinated pork) is also very delicious! It can be a bit fatty sometimes though, but that's the nature of the beast. The chicken gyro can be good, but can also be a bit dry sometimes. I've had the (American) philly gyro and it was overstuffed with tasty goodness! The dolmades (stuffed grape leaves) are awesome! If you get them along with a gyro and beverage, your meal is set! Side salads are also fresh and crisp! They're open late! (3am on weekends) Great late night meal! Opa!
(4)Janet W.
This place is always fresh, great food & friendly! Never any issues! Will always recommend!
(5)Deaja S.
Love this place the Greek fries are seasoned to perfection the gyros are awesome it's a must try in Lakewood
(4)Andrea Z.
Oh yeah! Love me some GVG! I can't believe I never knew about this place until a couple of months ago. Back in March I was having gyro withdrawals after eating at an AMAZING place in Florida (see Plaka review). If only I had known I had a place right in my backyard that was competitively delicious! Fast, fresh, amazing and cheap food. The owner and staff are all super friendly and they are open til at least 11 most nights. Altogether awesome place to take care of your gyro cravings. We've had the chicken gyro, American, and Greek gyros. All fantastic. They even have a decent selection of Greek imported foods and beers for takeout. It's going to be dangerous living within a half mile of this place now...must. resist. the. urge. to GVG! Oh what the hell....get you some!
(5)Christopher R.
I will never eat here again. They have consistently messed up my orders over the past year, sending the meat dishes instead of the vegetarian ones, as well as the wrong salads, and forgetting to put feta in the spanakopita. They are terribly over priced for the amount and quality of food you get. After calling an complaining, asking for my money back, they continually wanted to send a new order to me. Even when I drove the food back personally, the cook still wanted to make a new dish. Sorry, but no thank you. It's disappointing because this place was so good a few years ago.
(1)Chris K.
I have been a loyal customer to the Greek Village Grill for years. I frequently get takeout or delivery from there (at least once a month). I experienced the rudest driver tonight that I could possibly imagine. Despite ordering online and having the opportunity to add specific instructions for the delivery (I live in one of the high rises on Lake and we have a particular entrance to use for deliveries), I was called by the driver and berated for information that I had already specified. Upon delivery, not knowing that the driver was the one that called me (I assumed someone at the establishment), I told her about my experience and that I wished she convey my experience to management. She proceeded to look under the receipt and find the information that she needed to successfully deliver my order and then used the fact that it was "under the receipt" to defend her performance. Are you kidding me? The gyros offered here are tasty and offered at a fair price. The customer experience that I had was abysmal and is demonstrative of a downward trend that I have noticed. It's a shame. I do enjoy their gyros. Honestly, I don't even want to eat the food this driver delivered. Who knows what such an angry and incompetent person may have done to it?
(2)Catie T.
Yummy gyros. Fries are usually a little undercooked for my taste. Prices could be a little cheaper. Overall a good place to order from every now and then when you're craving a gyro! Nice that they deliver. The spinach artichoke dip is delicious.
(3)Christina T.
Absolute quickest delivery in lakewood! They always say 30 to 45 minutes but it's always like 15 to 20. I've had almost everything but i love the hummus, athenian platter, the fries, the village salad, Greek green beans just to name a few... and tonight i asked the girl to pick me a bottle of red wine and it went perfectly with my dinner.. Thanks guys! Please keep up the great work!
(5)Murray R.
I went to a potluck today and needed to bring grub. Seeing as how the peeps i was visiting don't want dog hair in their food, i decided cooking at home was not an option. What to bring....everyone loves Greek food! I stopped on the way and ordered three portions of spanakopita, one grape leaves portion and two little containers of powdered cookies. It took all of ten minutes. Bravo! The service was very friendly even in this stifling heat. Total was 15 bucks and i think everyone got a taste of these goodies. And no dog hair. I didn't think this place would make it based on location and the economy, but it seems to be thriving. I wish them many more years of success.
(5)Lilly S.
Tasty and affordable. Not the best Greek ever but it's also not expensive so you get a good meal for the price. Honestly, huge portions. Bigger than necessary but I'm fine with that. Very nice employees and a very small place so i always get carry out but if you're nearby, it's a good place for a meal.
(4)Hadley M.
Skip this place. I have been there twice. First time they screwed up my order. It was to go.... found out when I got home. Second time they did it again. We won't get fooled again!
(1)Sara H.
I had a gyro and an order of spanakopita. The gyro was quite good. The meat was VERY generous and shaved fresh right off the rotating spit. It could have used a few more tomatoes, but was still very good. The spanakopita were awesome!!! Just two dollars for 7 or 8 triangles. They were very fresh, crisp and yummy! Total meal $6.50. I will be back and will try one of their delicious looking dips!
(4)Aries L.
Um...nah...not impressed. I ordered the Chicken Souvlaki and some almond cookies. I took a bite of of the chicken and I don't know what type of seasoning that was combined and used when cooking the chicken it made me gag. It was too much going on, I couldn't even force myself to eat. It left a bad taste in my mouth the whole day even after I brushed my teeth and tongue and used listerine! The cookies were horrible too...only took one bite and threw everything away.
(1)Allison G.
Had a gyro and fries for lunch today, and they were so delicious and fresh-tasting. This place has awesome Greek food, large portions, fair prices, and really friendly staff. It's a gem! If you want to eat in there are about 3-4 small tables, but it's mostly for take-out I think.
(4)Nicholas B.
amazing food and environment. the amount and quality of food and meat you get is unmatched. feel like i'm really in greece when i'm eating there.
(5)Terinee B.
This mom & pop greek restaurant was phenomenal!!! I got a JUMBO gyro,which was enough for me to eat and take some home as well. The gyro meat was seasoned beyond perfection. Even after I was full, I found myself still nibbling on the meat, just because the taste was so tempting. The staff there was very down to earth and made our time there even better. The fries were pretty good as well. Even better - they are open late and they deliver!!!! I wish I would have found this place sooner!
(5)Alessandro S.
Stopped here for carry out after getting a haircut on the west side. (Yes, I did remember my passport). I was very impressed with the chicken and pork souvlaki platters -- perfectly cooked and nicely seasoned, served with a fluffly rice pilaf, very ripe tomato slices and tzatziki and pita. Everything was great -- the pita tasted homemade, the greek salad was very fresh and loaded with quality feta. Unfortunately the tzatziki tasted like it had sour cream or mayo rather than yogurt in it -- neither of which I eat. Also,next time I would order the same thing minus the huge clump of raw onions in each container which smelled my car. Cute hole-in-the-wall atmosphere with Greek decor, although I don't think I'd ever actually stay to eat -- it was super sweaty warm inside w/ open grill smell permeating the air. Big boon: they have Greek Mythos beer which goes perfectly w/ Greek food. Now, will they please open a branch on the east side?
(4)Rob S.
Awesome local Greek place. I've gotten takeout from here a couple times, and they totally remind me of my now-closed favorite gyro shack from my time in New York City. I am very, very happy to have a sweet place like this literally on my drive home from work. Quality and quickness are great, as is pricing. AND they offer a seven-pound mega-gyro challenge that I will take when I want to throw off the shackles of any semblance of a healthy lifestyle.
(4)Rick E.
It's like a tale of two restaurants. (With apologies to Charles Dickens). Our first visit there several months ago was good. This last visit did not reach the level of ever returning to this place. My companion and I went in for a quick dinner bite. Ordered Greek salad with gyro meat topping and the baked feta cheese with pita bread. Where do I start. Absolutely no hospitality- no greeting, smiles, even an "f" you would have been better than the complete lack of acknowledgement we were in their restaurant. We noticed the cook didn't slice off fresh gyro meat for our order but our salads came with dried-up gyro meat that you would have to assume was cut much earlier. The baked feta was not hot and dry as we'll. we felt like we were eating leftovers. Took our money and said nothing at the conclusion of our meal. Would I go back? All I can say is "Never on a Sunday-or Monday, or Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday or Friday or Saturday!
(1)Brian M.
Fantastic food and good pricing. Pleasant people offering solid, friendly service. They even sell meat etc. to go. That helps people like me who live 40 minutes away.
(5)Joe S.
LET ME SAVE YOU MONEY DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! Gyro: not shaved off the spit but stored somewhere and warmed to within an inch of its life to where it was burned. Chicken Gyro: Dry and barely warmed. I am guessing it was cooked at 11AM and warmed on the grill at dinner around 6pm. Flavorless chicken. If it were not for the strong onions on both there would have been no flavor. Saganaki: If you like slightly warmed frozen feta cheese on a grill with no flaming finish this is your place. This slab of cheeses was barely warm and had some type of funky spices on it that made it look like foccia bread. Its supposed to be melting and flavorful. Never going back and PS to the owner, when its 75 degrees outside at least turn on the ceiling fans. Best part of the experience other than leaving was you cannot screw up a bottle of soda. THIS IS NOT GREEK FOOD!
(1)Kenneth B.
hidden gem! one of few greek places on westside. great to hear staff chatting in greek. moussaka and pastitsio are great.
(4)Lloyd J.
Went there for lunch. Had a great Gyro and a special of the day. It was very authentic and very tasty. Young lady at the counter was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back.
(5)J. R.
Looking for take-out that is fairly speedy but delicious? This is the place to go. I've stopped by for take-out about a dozen times on a friend's recommendation and have never been disappointed. Usually I have the moussaka with green beans, grape leaves (with a yogurt cucumber dipping sauce), or a gyro-- all are A1. Can't go wrong!
(4)Joe A.
Super rad. Speedy delivery, cheap, friendly service, and awesome food. Everything I ever wanted in a greasy gyro place.
(5)Sarah F.
I like what the owner is trying to do with the place, I really can respect that. And I've given Greek Village many tries before coming up with this review. I always get a stomachache after eating here. And each time, its been different food. And the counter service is 50/50 at best, sometimes they're really nice, others I felt like I was an outsider. Not cool Zeus, not cool.

The 5 stars is for the food. Best Gyro I have had ever. The owner or cook or whatever needs to lose the female groupie hanger on. The intimate conversation between the two across the counter makes the customer feel as though they are intruding on something private. Not a comfortable feeling when the groupie keeps giving you looks like "hurry up and order your food and get the hell out"

Talk about amazing cheap eats! If you like Greek food, you WILL love this place. Generous portions. I went there for lunch today. Had the Gyro with lamb (as good as it gets) for $4!! I tried the hummus - all I can say is WOW!! Also had a huge tray of their FRESH CUT fries for $1.50 (also very good)!! For dessert, a chocolate covered baklava (made by the owners mom) - yummy!! Friday, Saturday - they are open until 4am - forget the late night pizza, get a gyro!!

Plenty of options when it comes to the gyros which are a solid product. Open late and will not disappoint.

For those who've never tried this cuisine, based on our experience you'll have the best first impression of Greek foods by starting with the 4 and 5 star choices. . The Greek Village Grille wasn't my first time scaling the craggy edges up Mt. Olympus. In addition to stateside Greek restaurants and stands I've made my own pita bread, gyro meat, tzatziki sauce, mousaka and baklava only because the hit-or-miss of the flavorful foods of Greece became too bothersome. I had quite good results with my own---but would love to find a place that could serve it up without my lifting a single phyllo sheet. The results here ranged from Oh, YES!---to Oh, NO! GREAT ....... all 5 star ~ PITA (white) extraordinary---none better...like little pillows for Aphrodite ~ AMERICAN GYRO MEAT the flavor of the lamb and beef combination was nothing short of mythological perfection...no mutton hint at all...fairly thin-sliced---the best and only way ~ TZATZIKI SAUCE the other "nectar of the gods" ...where did they get this recipe from? Zeus, himself? IN-BETWEEN ....... would order again ~ SPANAKOPITA * * * * very good preparation...phyllo texture just right with slightly crisp exterior...but filling a little too-undercooked---would have been much better with just another 2-3 minutes cooking time added ~ DOLMADES * * * perfect leaves...a touch too-intensely flavored ... fabulously seasoned, but better if a little less used...rice too soft ~ FRIES * * * unfortunately, cooled down too much by the time we got it home ...I'll bet they're very good fresh, eaten in THE WRATH OF HADES ... XXXXX (5 Don't Do It's) ~ GREEK GYRO, Dirty Style Instead, got what I'd call the DIRTY GREEK. No edible pork pieces. A scary mix of scraps---fat, gristle, and sinew---that would normally be trimmed off and thrown away. A stew straight from the netherworld, I picked through it for meat---a tiny bit here, a few shreds there. After ending up with the equivalent of maybe a couple of bites, I gave up. Had this been the only choice made off their menu, I'd be afraid to try anything else, so very likely would never return. (After this visit I read an earlier review by someone who liked this gyro and wrote that the fat or other (?) was the "nature of the beast", or something like that. Not for me. Never ate food like this growing up---or now---or ever. I've never even fed anything like this to my dogs. If I did, they'd look up at me puzzled, then walk away from their bowls. For anyone who doesn't mind scraps in their food---awlgh---be my guest.) ****WHAT SAVED THEIR STAR STATUS**** ~ AMERICAN GYRO Regular Style * * * * * blend of roasted lamb and beef topped with tomato, raw onion, and tzatziki sauce, wrapped in their pita. Excellent. Will be back for this, but will steer clear of ANYTHING with pork. .

Stopped for the first time for lunch today. It is not a very large place, and appears more to be for take out rather than eat in. Tried the American gyro. It was good, but a little greasy and messy. However, it had great flavor and a generous portion of meat. Also tried a pork souvlaki stick. It was served with a lemon wedge. It was moist and had a nice flavor. The person I was with tried the Chicken Soulvaki. They enjoyed it, but found it rather awkward trying to get the chicken off the skewer for the sandwich. The place had a steady stream of people while I was there. The prices were reasonable. From 11am to 3pm, the regular size gyro is a dollar off. I would go back again. Don't forget the napkins!

When hungry for a greek treat, go Greek Village Grille! Can't go wrong with this place as far as food is concerned. I drive by this place almost daily and wonder everyday, how the food was here. So today on my day off, I decided I give it a go. So I ordered that Gyro with lamb and beef. And to say the least, it was delicious. I wish they had more seating and more than just bar stool height tables and chairs. That's why it gets four instead of five stars. Food wise, it stands with the best gyros I've had. They have chicken, pork and my fave lamb and beef. Greek salad withe feta cheese, hummus and ah-so tempting baklava. Murray's review says they are open till 4am. If I was up that late and was hungry, I'd go there.

Yes, back again today and finally I forced myself to try something different than the American Gyro. Got a combination chicken/pork gyro (hey, I didn't say I made a DRASTIC change) and, man, it was awesome as usual. This place has got it going on. It's not Lola but what it is is special all the same. I've said it before and will say it again, great food, very reasonable prices, extremely nice people...what, you need a written invitation??? GO!!! Enjoy. You're welcome. :)

Lets just say I immediately called my doctor after eating a gyro from here. Got delivery and the Gyro was very close to falling out of the bag due to all the grease that had leaked through the bag. I was disgusted, and quite honestly, apologetic to my arteries. Sorry Greek Village Grille, I'll stick to waiting for my girlfriends family's greek cooking. is there a, "good for: high cholesterol" box I can check?

I've eaten here twice so far, and both times I was really pleased with the service and the food. Really sizable Gyros and Souvlaki for less than $5!! Right on! This is the real deal, carved off of a vertical rotating spit. The "Greek" gyro made with pork rather than the usual Lamb/Beef meat alloy was a great surprise. Moist chunks of seasoned pork go really well with the standard toppings (though moist chunks of pork go well with pretty much anything, don't they?) The fresh-cut Greek-seasoned fries are good, and though I personally haven't strayed off of the sandwich menu, I've been told by reliable sources that their dips (hummus, etc.) are amazing. Hard to say if these gyros are better than my beloved Mezza's in Westlake. At the very least, they're just as delicious.

We've ordered delivery from Greek Village twice this week, and I have to say we're very impressed. Cheap (and huge!) Gyros, delicious Dolmades, super fast delivery, and they're open late - all great, in my book. I hope they stick around, because we love 'em!

Despite catching them on the first day of their new menu and after being on local news the same morning, I really enjoyed this place. A few kinks with the new menu, but otherwise exceptional. Loved the variety (much more than just gyros), and the staff was great. When you have a good staff, it shows, and this place has a great staff. Your best bet is probably to call ahead for take-out, though they do offer dining inside. Whatever you decide, just decide and give this place a try!

The first several times I ate here was after a night of drinking, and let's be honest, almost everything tastes better after you've been out drinking all night. They are open until 4 AM on Friday & Saturday night, so there is usually at least a handful of people in there shortly after last call. Upon visiting for dinner, and completely sober may I add, I can say this is not just a late night spot to fill your belly before you slip into your alcohol induce slumber. This is essentially a take out place so I won't hold it against them that they only have 3 (possibly 4) bar height tables with 2 bar height chairs per table. They are basically there so you have somewhere to sit while you wait for your order, not necessarily so that you can eat-in. The menus is rather diverse. You have your choice of gyro style: 1.) regular (tomato, onion & tzatziki sauce OR 2.) dirty (onion, yellow mustard & fries). I'll admit I've never been adventurous enough to try the dirty option. They offer your classic lamb/beef as well as marinated pork, marinated chicken, marinated charcoal-grilled pork, marinated charcoal-grilled chicken, Greek seasoned country pork sausage, ground beef & a vegetarian option. As you can see your options are plentiful. They also offer a jumbo gyro which is double the meat, but trust me you don't need it unless you haven't eaten for days. They also have something called the Mount Olympus, which is described as "The Ultimate Gyro" & will run you $20. It frightens me to imagine the immensity of this beast of a gyro. They also offer a wide selection of hummus, dips, salads, entrees/platters, side dishes & desserts. The only dish other than their gyros that I can vouch for are their dolmades (seasoned rice wrapped in grape leaves), and they are delicious. The prices are very reasonable, $5 for any style/choice of meat gyro. The portions are huge, several pieces of meat always sneak out of my pita & onto my plate. The quality of the food is excellent & the service is ultra quick.

Let's just say we will go back! We were craving Greek food so we went. Gyro was good, salad was a Greek salad can't goof that up. The Greek fries were great and the best was the Pastitsio. Oh, the feta saganaki was very good.

This place reminds me of when Angelo's Pizza used to be decent. When they had the white boxes with blue writing. The Greek Village Grille is housed in the former location of Angelo's. The food is pretty good and at good prices. I cannot figure out for the life of me why people wait in line forever for Steve's gyros at Westside Market. This place has gyros that are just as good and you don't have to waste your life away in line for them. If you are drinking next door at the Richland Cafe, you can place an order at the bar and Greek Village will run it over to you. Richland is a decent place to drink. They now carry craft beers and redid the interior. One of my friends met a girl at the Richland and took her across the street to the Lakewood High football field and had sex with her on the 50 yard line. A very romantic night indeed. Another friend recently met a girl at the Richland and took her home for romance. He described a certain move she performed as something out of the Matrix. I think I may start hanging out at the Richland! And eating gyros from Greek Village!
