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.

Total disappointment... This place WAS going to get a great review. I've encountered the Simple Greek three times thus far. The first time was great! They were apart of a delivery service, and it was so awesome to have great Greek food delivered to my door. The chicken was overcooked, but I still enjoyed the gyro. So... Of course I wanted to order again. I put an order in on Mr. Delivery through the Eat24 app. Typically, it takes some time for actual restaurants to deliver the food, but no big deal. By the time my 'estimated delivery time' came about, I get a phone call from Mr. Delivery... They've called to tell me the restaurant isn't currently taking delivery orders, and my money would be refunded... Okay, I understand, maybe someone was short staffed on the restaurant side or the delivery side. I was disappointed, and still hungry... But not angry. A couple days go by, and I figured there's no way that hiccup can happen again. So this time I ordered Mr. Delivery through GrubHub. At least they didn't wait for my delivery time to call to say the restaurant will not deliver. I guess the restaurant decided to not participate in the delivery game any longer... That's cool, but maybe have your vendor take the restaurant off of their websites, so customers don't place orders. Both times- I prepaid with my credit card and included the tip. Which I normally do since I'm a frequent online food orderer. Long story short, I'm out $45, yes $45 until the whole bank processing time is completed... and HUNGRY! DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS RESTAURANT ONLINE.

This was a tough one to review. The restaurant needs a makeover. It is disorganized and dirty. The restaurant had so many flies flying around, I can't believe my husband ordered food from here. With that being said, I was surprised that it was actually pretty good. The gryo was tasty. They are set up like subway. You add whatever you want to the gryo. The veggies were fresh as well which was a nice surprise. I am torn on recommending this place. I would give it 2.5 stars.

Great lunch spot in market square. Quick, tasty, and simple. The rice and salad bowls are great, as are the gyros. Downside is that it could be a buck or two cheaper. The grape leaves aren't that great, which is disappointing. Would be nice to be able to get a greek salad with no meat and tons of vegetables for a few bucks cheaper than their bowls. In the end, one of the better spots in market square to grab a quick bite.

It may be a good idea for Mr Lemonis to come by to do a quick run through. why did the restaurant open 20+ min past its stated opening time? the restaurant was kind of dirty, empty ketchup container, no napkins at table, no cheese pies, place looked disorganized....the food was good, but i expected a better experience. Also... napkins instead of paper towels in bathroom... and the place was suppose to open at 2 for lunch on 4th of Jul.... Isnt that kind of late???

The Simple Greek was good. That's it. The staff wasn't organized but they were friendly enough. My friend ordered some steak and they were out (not a big deal) but it took everyone in the kitchen to figure it out and they looked terrified when she ordered it, which was weird. I had a gyro and it was good, they did load it with too much meat for my taste, but I'm sure a lot of people like that. They do have a nice outdoor area that looks across the farmer's market, so that was pleasant. Like I said, it was good. But nothing special.

Great lunch spot in Market Square. Friendly, fast service and fresh food. I love the concept of their "rice bowl," which comes with a lemon rice (lentils optional), your choice of protein, and then various delicious toppings such as olives, feta, onions, green beans, etc. The bowl is topped off with your choice of sauce as well. Great decor and a nice addition to downtown. I will be returning soon!

These guys do a good job of making quick gyro and other items. HOWEVER they need to know the difference between sour cream and yogurt. Today I asked for yogurt and they gave me sour cream...even after I questioned what they were putting on my salad. Otherwise, a nice quick downtown lunchtime option.

Went in at 11:05 to try the new menu and the girl looked at us like why are you here and said they don't open till 11. We told her it was after 11 and she said "Oh than 20 more minutes". How do you just randomly change your opening time. Not very organized obviously. We really wanted to try their new menu but just left and went somewhere else. Not very good customer service.

Delicious salads and pitas! I have come here for lunch during the week and the line can get a little out of control... I would like to give them some advice to make the queuing a little faster but it's worth the wait for their salads. It's basically what you would expect at a greek restaurant, I do like that you can choose what you want on your pita/salad. I've had both the pita and the salad before, they offer different meats and proteins and then your choice of mix-ins.

As a first time visitor to Pittsburgh, I asked the hotel concierge for a good place for lunch and she pointed me to Market Square with it's host of choices. I honed in on The Simple Greek as I prefer to skip chains whenever possible and there were a fair number of these to be found in the square. Additionally the line was at to the door so either it was really good or grossly inefficient. I am happy to report the former rather than the latter. The line actually moves pretty quickly but I did feel some pressure to know exactly what I wanted to order to keep things moving and not screw it up for all the regulars in line. I selected a gyro salad bowl on to which I had green beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, feta cheese with Tzatziki sauce added. Everything was quite fresh and yummy. Despite the line, there were several free seats available for eating there. Most folks seem to be taking it to go to chow back at their desk. I found their prices to be quite reasonable and the meal overall quite satisfying.

I don't like lines. Who does? I especially don't like lunch lines at high noon in Market Square. Yet there I was, at the stroke of 12:30, with four companions. What to do? Well, we met in front of Simple Greek, so we thought we'd take a peek inside, where we found ZERO line! To be honest, I'm not sure why, given that after thoroughly enjoying a greek/lentil salad, I left thinking it should be more popular. It's a little pricey for what you get, but sometimes it's worth it to splurge for a warm, soft pita, great service and awesome flavors. Check it aht!

Have you been to Subway? Imagine that system but with gyros and Greek salads. You go in and pick if you want white pita, wheat pitas, or a salad. Then you go and pick your meat, tzaki sauce (they have 2 choices yogurt or sour cream based), and veggies. There will be a line here at lunch, do NOT let that intimidate you, it typically moves very quickly and the staff is good at keeping it moving. They also have alot of outdoor seating right there in Market square. I highly reccomend grabbing your gyro and sitting outside on a nice summer day and enjoy the ambiance of Market square without the need to fight for a table and enjoying a great gyro.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE. I would give it 8 stars. This place is so GREAT, so much that it deserves ALL CAPS OH MY GOD. It's basically set up just like a Greek chipotle and the food is soo delicious and fresh. For basically the same price as a burrito bowl ($8.50 with tax) you can have truly delicious Greek food. I went for the rice bowl with lentils and chicken. They give you a huge portion of meat (no skimping here!) and all the greek yogurt/veggies/feta/olives you want! Be careful though, olives are not pitted. Sorry molars ... And when I teetered back and forth over getting a side of hummus, the gal putting my bowl together said to just get some hummus in the bowl since it comes with pita, so I didn't' have to pay more. (My wallet thanks ye kind lady!) Super excited to go back!

Gross. The chicken was bland and super dry, the grape leaves tasted like dry cat food smells, and the whole expensive ($15) meal smells vaguely of fish. Can't even bring myself to take another bite, and I'm a pretty gracious person with food.

Just ate there for the first time. It was just ok. I got a chicken bowl. Chicken and lentil rice were both really dry. I did come at 2:30 pm at the end of the lunch rush, so maybe this had something to do with it. The green bean garnish was just ok, the cucumbers and tomatoes were very fresh and tasty. I also ordered fries. You get a lot of them, but they were not cooked long enough at all. Soggy and undercooked. I will try them again during a "lunch rush" now that I know how to order and see if its any better. The food probably won't be sitting around as long.
