YUM! This place's gyro special tastes like a gyro straight out of Europe! And the closest thing to Doner Kabob you can get! The yogurt makes the gyro great! The hummus is to die for (feta and sundried tomato is my fav). Its a great place to stop for lunch!! don't forget to try the chocolate baklava too!

Great little Mediterranean grocery store. The owners are very friendly and they have all of the ingredients and groceries you could want. Their Feta is a steal. It's less than half of the next lowest price I could find in Squirrel Hill.

This is the best Greek take out in Pittsburgh. I usually get $5 Gyro that has very generous topping which also comes w a free drink. A true hidden gem.

Some of the best hummus I have ever tired exists at Greek Gourmet. The store is literally a block away from my place, so I am very lucky to have such a great Mediterranean one-stop market so close by. They have a variety of different kinds of hummus. I like the smoked bean hummus and the hummus with horseradish. When you first walk in, the smell of fresh olives overwhelms you. This is olive heaven! Much much better olive selection compared to Giant Eagle up the hill at a lesser cost. I need to try out their prepared pastries and desserts the next time I go, which should be in the very near future. Overall, a really great Greek market for a mid-sized city.

A welcoming family run business specializing in Greek food. They have the most diverse selection of hummus that I have ever seen: cilantro jalapeño, artichoke, sweet potato, habanero, and many others flavors. They also sell Greek desserts, olives, pita bread, and other Mediterranean specialties. The menu is simple which makes it easy to decide what to eat. I opted for a gyro. The pita was packed with meat, romaine lettuce, and a Greek tomato & onion salad. The sandwich was flavorful and refreshing. It was the best gyro that I've had in Pittsburgh.

This place is the best. HUGE portions, delicious, fresh, made to order. It is a family run business and they are adorable and lovely people, especially Yaya. I highly recommend the lamb gyro and the sun dried tomato hummus. Or the spinach and feta hummus, or the classic hummus, or the buffalo hummus, or the olive hummus... :)

There falafal is really good. What I don't like about them is they use breaded chicken in chicken gyro.

Ellie B.
My husband and I have gotten a regular gyro here on several occasions and each time they have been excellent. $5 and you get so much meat and sauce! Plus the people there are really nice. I would give this place a 5 star rating but the place could use some cleaning and organizing. Kind of looks like a dump sometimes but the food is great!

The size of their 5$ gyros are ridiculous. So much food, and solid too. Good staff

Rob L.
This is my go-to Friday lunch when I'm working at home. The gyros are huge and a solid deal at $5. The lamb is standard and the chicken is breaded which is a little odd. The sauce is heavy on the dill which makes the gyro. The hummus is worthy of 5 stars. Always solid and lots of flavors to choose from. My father-in-law, who refused to eat hummus, gave the buffalo a shot and loved it. Too bad he lives all the way out in NH. Other great flavors we've had are siracha, Gorgonzola and chive, and olive.

Great gyro and great service...I've had baklava before but the crap that comes in a box at SAMs club...I didn't really like the SAMs club version but I got to try some from this place...wow!!! Totally changed my outlook on the desert...it was like eating honey paper with walnuts...they heated it up just enough that it was ooey and delicious..mmmh Gyro was awesome...lots of meat and veggies too...great cucumber sauce ...a lil sloppy tho.,.like a sloppy Jo Ill call this one a sloppy go...haha

Andy D.
If you don't work in Squirrel Hill, I feel bad for you son. Just kidding. Kind of. Not really. Greek Gourmet on Murray Ave is my goto move for lunch. $5 for a gyro AND a drink is the best deal in the city. Can't be beat neither. Their gyros and Greek salads are fresh and generous. Also, if you like hummus, they have a selection to die for. Personal favorites are their buffalo hummus and spicy avocado. Staff is super friendly, Mike & co are great! Be sure to get a punch card! 10 gyros and the 11th is free!

Rachel C.
Holy hummus batman!! I mean, it's like a hummus party and everyone's invited. Seriously, if you're a true friend you would invite everyone to this hummus party because it's so good! Apparently with over 20 kinds of hummus, you can please them all. I tried a plethora of different ones but loved the buffalo, garlic and horseradish one the best. I went home with the horseradish and have been happily eating it every day since. Man does that horsey sauce give you a kick in the butt, but it's goooood! I also had a gyro with all the fixin's. The pita bread, soft and chewy. The lamb, loads of it and nice and moist, no dry meat here! The sauce (maybe to me one of the most important parts) was awesome! Love me some cucumber yogurt greek sauce... load me up with it and I'm good to go! Plus, it's cheap cheap cheap, with gyro's at around $5 and the hummus being around $3. You won't break the bank with this lunch/dinner/snack! It's a family run business and the owner is SUPER friendly and easy to talk to. it's so awesome to see an owner that's so passionate about the business and happy to be there. I know I'll be back for my stock of hummus, I'm hooked and I can't turn back now!!

4.5! The hummus is SOOOOOOO good. Oh and I just had the most amazing gyro wrap there today too actually. I'm pretty sure it's family run, which is always nice. The space is a little small and old, but there are a few tables to enjoy your food there if you can't wait until you get home to eat (like me). We'll definitely be stocking our fridge with this place's hummus.

Josh F.
Paid $5 for a giant, delicious gyro. I've eaten my fair share of gyros and this one tops the list. Tons of meat, fresh tomatoes, fresh pita, and delicious tzatziki. And they have a huge selection of homemade hummus. We bought the jalapeño-cilantro, spicy avocado, and horseradish. They were all great, but the horseradish really stood out. Want to try to jerk hummus and curry hummus next. Definitely a gem.
(5)
Dania P.
Love The Greek Gourmet! You can get a gyro and drink for $5! You don't have to get the standard Gyro-any of their Gyro sandos are only $5-which is a steal if you are in a pinch for dinner or lunch. Also-they are DELICIOUS! In addition to yummy gyros and friendly service they have a variety of hummus choices. MMMMM. If you are a lover of hummus like me you will super like this. The hub's favorite was honey habanero, my personal fave was spinach and feta hummus-but the gal at the counter let us know they come out with seasonal treats and will soon be having a sweet potato hummus- I'd try it :) The only down side to this place is there is only a small seating area (like one bar with two stools) so get it to go an enjoy it in one of Pitt's fabulous parks or come with a small party!

Bennett R.
LOVE IT! There's a million places to get falafel and humus in squirrel hill, but as far as I'm concerned the rest can take a hike, this is my spot. Everything they sell is delicious - all the humuses (humi??!?), tabbouleh, falafel, gyros, pastisio, mousakka . . . my only problem going there is I leave with way too much food! Also I really love family run businesses. My boy friend said he wasn't sure he likes Greek food. Grandma looked at him like he was stupid and told him to go wait outside. They have pizza next door for people who don't like Greek food. Love the food, and love that spicy granny too!

This is the BEST Greek Take Out Ever ! I ordered the Greek Salad with Gyro Meat. And not only was it GREAT , But very reasonably priced and BIG. All the ingredients are fresh , and the staff is friendly and fast. I will be back to get the world famous Gyro and Hummus, but for now , i'm full. You have to give this place a try. I don't think you will be disapointed.

I have never liked gyros until I got a chicken gyro at this place and it was so delicious. The man who worked there was so friendly and helpful. Overall, if you have never tried this place, you should at least once.

Satiates all of my Mediterranean cravings from hummus and olives to pastries. As previous reviews have mentioned, it is a bit more expensive but you know how the saying goes, "you get what you pay for". Paying more is definitely worth it when the quality of the product is superlative.

Love the gyros, they are huge and very yummy. I've had the falafel and chicken and like them both. Other favorites include the Jamaican Jerk hummus and the tabbouleh.

The Greek Gourmet is the go-to place for hummus. Forget Trader Joe's, forget Whole Foods, definitely forget Giant Eagle. All their hummus is made in-house (yes apparently there's a difference between something made in-house and something that's housemade; housemade can be made in someone else's house). They have their hummus out for you to try before you buy it. Apparently they also are one of the sources of hummus for Whole Food's, as they were out of their smoked white bean hummus the last time I went (its absolutely delicious and the smokiness reminds me of a summertime cookout). Most of their pastries are made in-house; their meat, cheese, and spinach pies are shipped in though. They also have other things like pastas and olive oils and what not, but I'm always drooling over their prepared foods to notice anything else.
(5)
Emmy N.
Everything they make here is DELICIOUS! I have had all the sandwiches (falafel, gyro, ) and different hummus (spinach-feta, garlic, roasted red peppers, olive) and I enjoyed all of them! The sandwiches are very inexpensive also compared to eating at other places. But hummus price is not (not expensive, but not inexpensive either).
(5)
Natalie R.
Go for one reason and one reason only- The many types of excellent hummus. Every flavor I have had is good and I will update further once I've worked my way through the whole menu. The other items are meh. The service is always warm and there are always new samples to try.
(4)
Jessica W.
I'm going to say the magic four words again: Smoked white bean hummus! Smoked white bean hummus! Get it. Enjoy it. It's one of the things I'll miss most about leaving Pittsburgh. This is not an exaggeration. The staff here is super nice, and the baklava and the shredded wheat pastry (kataifi?) are the perfect size if you just want a lil' bit of something sweet. While it's no $5 footlong, I'll take Greek Gourmet's sandwich special over Subway's any day.
(5)
Mark G.
Great, great place for cheap and authentic Greek food. The special that probably catches people's attention is $5 for a gyro and can of soda. Every time I get it I'm always surprised at how much there is. I'm always full after that. The hummus is definitely the best in the city. It's all homemade and they change the varieties all the time. One of my favorite parts of going there is sampling the different hummus they have on the counter. I haven't found one I didn't like. And everyone who works there always seems happy to see customers coming in. Just a great place to get some great food.
(5)
Sean D.
Very tasty gyro. It gets stuffed full of meat, vegetables, and sauce. Honestly, the stuffing full is what brings it a bit shy of 5 stars. While I appreciate the attention to quantity, the sandwich disintegrated in my hands before I could finish it, which made for a very messy lunch.

Joseph F.
I'm a huge fan of this place, located next to mineo's I've been right next to this place dozens of times and never gave it a look, boy was I wrong. The hummus is amazing, I love the roasted garlic and I'm a big critic of hummus and this place has to have the best I've ever had. The staff is so nice and inviting and I really love their gyros. I believe it is 5 bucks for a gyro and a drink and the gyros are a pretty good size. One had me stuffed but satisfied. In an area with so much to choose from this place is still original and has some great food and really friendly owners.

I have been looking forward to trying the Greek Gourmet for over a year and half, but I just made it in a few weeks ago. The prices are crazy reasonable, and the employees are super friendly. My experience: Lamb Gyro ($5)- The lamb meat and pita were spot on. Diced tomatoes were great. The tzatziki sauce was unique. I was not a fan. It was a very heavy and creamy sauce, almost like ranch dressing. It also seemed to have a salty feta taste almost. It was very unique. Similar to Laura M, I found the spring mix off-putting and very messy. I would have much preferred romaine. A 2.5 star gyro. I want to go back and try the gyro again with a slight variation. The girl behind me ordered hers without sauce but with hummus. I think this is the way to go. So I would recommend trying a lamb gyro with tomatoes and hummus. They also have a frequent gyro card, and if you buy 10, you get one free! Small Red Pepper Hummus ($3.50)- Spectacular. I will be coming back here to buy more hummus. They had about ten flavors. I also tried the plain hummus, and it was super delicious. Some of the best hummus I have ever eaten. The employees were exceptionally friendly and upbeat and really seemed to like working there. This is a take out only place and more of a market than a restaurant. They also accept credit cards!

I could use some good 'ol home made hummus right about now!!! i love hummus!!! There's over thirty different types of hummus at the Greek gourmet... I was so thrilled and sad... I wanted to sample every flavor but that was just impossible..lol Instead I bought a gyro...the gyro has the equivalent of their signature Greek hummus added with lots of sausages....they also put a variety of spices and herbs along with their pita bread...There are too many veggies...it was so messy eating that huge sandwich! however the gyro was tasty when served with everything...and they make homemade everything...defiantly get the hummus with the pita yummy!! area is pretty cramped...so get it and get it to go!

This place is the best!!! The gyros here are incredible! And huge! For $5, you can't beat it. Make sure to grab some extra napkins! I like the falafel too, but the gyros are best. And the hummus?! Holy cow! I can't even begin to pick a favorite kind. Honey habanero? Buffalo? Cilantro jalapeno?? Last time I went, they were 3 for $10. That's a price that can't be beat, either! (The same homemade hummus from this place are sold in other stores in the area but are more expensive with a smaller variety). You can buy ingredients and other stuff in the store, but I never have. There is only a small table or two inside the restaurant, so plan on taking your tasty lunch/dinner to-go. The people who work there are incredibly nice. I heard somewhere that they do catering as well, but I'm not sure if that is true. A gem in Squirrel Hill! Highly highly highly recommended. I recently moved away from Pittsburgh, but if I'm ever back, I'll be stopping here for sure.

I stopped by today around 12:30 to grab a gyro for a quick on-the-go lunch. I asked if they had chicken gyros, to which the guy behind the counter said, "Yeah, I can make you one." Nonplussed, I said okay, and he rung me up for $5. After standing around for a couple of minutes, I saw the guy who waited on me get a hunk of meat out, unwrap it, and put it on the broiler. Noticing that the bus that I needed to catch would be there in 3 min., I asked him if my chicken gyro would be ready soon. He assured me that it would, and then proceeded to assemble it and put it on a panini press. When he gave me the finished product, I rushed out the door and managed to catch the bus just in time. Once on the bus, I unwrapped the gyro and proceeded to eat it. Upon inspection, it was large in size and bulky, and contained some surprising ingredients. Instead of iceberg or romaine lettuce leaves, it was topped with spring mix, and I didn't detect any tomatoes in it at all--or fries. The biggest surprise was the meat, however, which consisted of breaded chicken strips, most likely of the previously frozen variety. This is the first time I've ever bitten into a gyro with crunchy (crispy?) meat. The gyro also contained a generous helping of tzatziki sauce, which was applied between the meat and the spring mix. Unfortunately, it lacked the zip that's the hallmark of a well-made tzatziki, and its plentifulness made for messy eating, esp. without napkins, which I forgot to grab when beating a hasty exit to catch the bus. Overall, the flavor wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't what I'm accustomed to in a gyro. I'd be willing to give this place another try for the hummus, since that's what everyone seems to rave about here, or perhaps a pastry, since their selection looked good. For gyros, however, I'd recommend checking to see if the broiler is in use before ordering--at least, for the chicken variety, if you don't want to risk getting a gyro made with crispy chicken strips. For a solid chicken gyro containing standard ingredients and meat sliced from the spit, I recommend Lesvos in the South Side. Based on the positive reviews, I must confess that I expected better.

Ashley K.
To start off with, this place is tiny. There is only one table inside to eat at, which no one does...this is a typical grab-and-go Greek deli, with specials written on a board behind the counter. They have coolers stacked high with their food and sauces that they sell at wholesale? As well as a bakery case stuffed with spanakopita and baklava trays. A young man was taking orders and making them. I felt bad for the guy. Yia Yia was bustling around the tight spaces, making sure everyone was content. I had to wait a while for my sandwich, but oh man...the wait was worth it. My gyro was piled high with lamb, a fresh spring mix, onions, and a very nice tzatziki sauce, no tomato! For only $5. I definitely recommend this place, though Yia Yia did hustle me to pay for my food when I was leaving, though I already had.

Hannah R.
I stopped by after work on the way home, and took my food to go (there's not a lot of dining space). I wanted to post a picture of my eggplant & feta sandwich, but I scarfed it down too quickly. It was SO good. While the sandwiches are awesome, the hummus is really what makes this place. The little fridges inside are chock full of baba ganoush, salads, drinks, and more types of hummus than you knew existed. They have a combo for a sandwich & 8 oz tub of hummus for $8, which I thought was a great deal.
(5)
Joel R.
First off, the gyros here are good, and at five bucks, they are a strong value. The meat appears to be baked, sliced and grilled as opposed to spit-roasted and shaved, so the consistency is closer to meatloaf. Although I prefer the spit-roasted variety, the flavor is still very good. The rest of the sandwich was okay. Good pita, but the greens were basically a bunch of spring mix (tasted too strongly of beet) with too much tzatziki. The whole thing was sort of hastily assembled and didn't physically hold up. That would be okay if we didn't wait so long for the thing. Even before the lunch hour, our wait was very long. There was a single person working here and it showed. They were out of stock on sodas and it took about five minutes before they even knew we were there. The space itself needs repair: broken floor tile, damaged veneer, a mopping. I hate to bag on a small family-run business like this, but that stuff has to be taken care of and the service needs to be faster. I would pay more for that.

I stopped by after work on the way home, and took my food to go (there's not a lot of dining space). I wanted to post a picture of my eggplant & feta sandwich, but I scarfed it down too quickly. It was SO good. While the sandwiches are awesome, the hummus is really what makes this place. The little fridges inside are chock full of baba ganoush, salads, drinks, and more types of hummus than you knew existed. They have a combo for a sandwich & 8 oz tub of hummus for $8, which I thought was a great deal.

Best falafel I've had in years... for $6.00. Nice people, good portions, and no nonsense. Just delicious food.

This place is the best!!! The gyros here are incredible! And huge! For $5, you can't beat it. Make sure to grab some extra napkins! I like the falafel too, but the gyros are best. And the hummus?! Holy cow! I can't even begin to pick a favorite kind. Honey habanero? Buffalo? Cilantro jalapeno?? Last time I went, they were 3 for $10. That's a price that can't be beat, either! (The same homemade hummus from this place are sold in other stores in the area but are more expensive with a smaller variety). You can buy ingredients and other stuff in the store, but I never have. There is only a small table or two inside the restaurant, so plan on taking your tasty lunch/dinner to-go. The people who work there are incredibly nice. I heard somewhere that they do catering as well, but I'm not sure if that is true. A gem in Squirrel Hill! Highly highly highly recommended. I recently moved away from Pittsburgh, but if I'm ever back, I'll be stopping here for sure.

First off, the gyros here are good, and at five bucks, they are a strong value. The meat appears to be baked, sliced and grilled as opposed to spit-roasted and shaved, so the consistency is closer to meatloaf. Although I prefer the spit-roasted variety, the flavor is still very good. The rest of the sandwich was okay. Good pita, but the greens were basically a bunch of spring mix (tasted too strongly of beet) with too much tzatziki. The whole thing was sort of hastily assembled and didn't physically hold up. That would be okay if we didn't wait so long for the thing. Even before the lunch hour, our wait was very long. There was a single person working here and it showed. They were out of stock on sodas and it took about five minutes before they even knew we were there. The space itself needs repair: broken floor tile, damaged veneer, a mopping. I hate to bag on a small family-run business like this, but that stuff has to be taken care of and the service needs to be faster. I would pay more for that.

All the food at this store will make you want more. I love their Gyros, the Greek grilled cheese is wonderful and the large selection of home make hummus is as good as it gets.

Chelsey B.
I'm surprised to see that no one has commented on the Greek grilled cheese. HOLY DELICIOUS! Imagine melted cheesy deliciousness topped with their amazing hummus and greens with balsamic vinaigrette, all wrapped in their bread. I died.

The best 5 dollars gyro or falafel you can get. Simply delicious.

The gyros are not bad here - and if the sweet grandma makes it for you, they're huge! Otherwise they're a normal size, which is still very filling :). $5 with a can of soda. They have alot of different hummus flavors for purchase here too. Also, can everyone please stop calling them jai-roes?

A welcoming family run business specializing in Greek food. They have the most diverse selection of hummus that I have ever seen: cilantro jalapeño, artichoke, sweet potato, habanero, and many others flavors. They also sell Greek desserts, olives, pita bread, and other Mediterranean specialties. The menu is simple which makes it easy to decide what to eat. I opted for a gyro. The pita was packed with meat, romaine lettuce, and a Greek tomato & onion salad. The sandwich was flavorful and refreshing. It was the best gyro that I've had in Pittsburgh.

Karyn D.
This place is the best. HUGE portions, delicious, fresh, made to order. It is a family run business and they are adorable and lovely people, especially Yaya. I highly recommend the lamb gyro and the sun dried tomato hummus. Or the spinach and feta hummus, or the classic hummus, or the buffalo hummus, or the olive hummus... :)

Sayantan B.
There falafal is really good. What I don't like about them is they use breaded chicken in chicken gyro.

Rachel C.
Holy hummus batman!! I mean, it's like a hummus party and everyone's invited. Seriously, if you're a true friend you would invite everyone to this hummus party because it's so good! Apparently with over 20 kinds of hummus, you can please them all. I tried a plethora of different ones but loved the buffalo, garlic and horseradish one the best. I went home with the horseradish and have been happily eating it every day since. Man does that horsey sauce give you a kick in the butt, but it's goooood! I also had a gyro with all the fixin's. The pita bread, soft and chewy. The lamb, loads of it and nice and moist, no dry meat here! The sauce (maybe to me one of the most important parts) was awesome! Love me some cucumber yogurt greek sauce... load me up with it and I'm good to go! Plus, it's cheap cheap cheap, with gyro's at around $5 and the hummus being around $3. You won't break the bank with this lunch/dinner/snack! It's a family run business and the owner is SUPER friendly and easy to talk to. it's so awesome to see an owner that's so passionate about the business and happy to be there. I know I'll be back for my stock of hummus, I'm hooked and I can't turn back now!!

4.5! The hummus is SOOOOOOO good. Oh and I just had the most amazing gyro wrap there today too actually. I'm pretty sure it's family run, which is always nice. The space is a little small and old, but there are a few tables to enjoy your food there if you can't wait until you get home to eat (like me). We'll definitely be stocking our fridge with this place's hummus.
(4)
Josh F.
Paid $5 for a giant, delicious gyro. I've eaten my fair share of gyros and this one tops the list. Tons of meat, fresh tomatoes, fresh pita, and delicious tzatziki. And they have a huge selection of homemade hummus. We bought the jalapeño-cilantro, spicy avocado, and horseradish. They were all great, but the horseradish really stood out. Want to try to jerk hummus and curry hummus next. Definitely a gem.
(5)
Dania P.
Love The Greek Gourmet! You can get a gyro and drink for $5! You don't have to get the standard Gyro-any of their Gyro sandos are only $5-which is a steal if you are in a pinch for dinner or lunch. Also-they are DELICIOUS! In addition to yummy gyros and friendly service they have a variety of hummus choices. MMMMM. If you are a lover of hummus like me you will super like this. The hub's favorite was honey habanero, my personal fave was spinach and feta hummus-but the gal at the counter let us know they come out with seasonal treats and will soon be having a sweet potato hummus- I'd try it :) The only down side to this place is there is only a small seating area (like one bar with two stools) so get it to go an enjoy it in one of Pitt's fabulous parks or come with a small party!

Bennett R.
LOVE IT! There's a million places to get falafel and humus in squirrel hill, but as far as I'm concerned the rest can take a hike, this is my spot. Everything they sell is delicious - all the humuses (humi??!?), tabbouleh, falafel, gyros, pastisio, mousakka . . . my only problem going there is I leave with way too much food! Also I really love family run businesses. My boy friend said he wasn't sure he likes Greek food. Grandma looked at him like he was stupid and told him to go wait outside. They have pizza next door for people who don't like Greek food. Love the food, and love that spicy granny too!

Great gyro and great service...I've had baklava before but the crap that comes in a box at SAMs club...I didn't really like the SAMs club version but I got to try some from this place...wow!!! Totally changed my outlook on the desert...it was like eating honey paper with walnuts...they heated it up just enough that it was ooey and delicious..mmmh Gyro was awesome...lots of meat and veggies too...great cucumber sauce ...a lil sloppy tho.,.like a sloppy Jo Ill call this one a sloppy go...haha

If you don't work in Squirrel Hill, I feel bad for you son. Just kidding. Kind of. Not really. Greek Gourmet on Murray Ave is my goto move for lunch. $5 for a gyro AND a drink is the best deal in the city. Can't be beat neither. Their gyros and Greek salads are fresh and generous. Also, if you like hummus, they have a selection to die for. Personal favorites are their buffalo hummus and spicy avocado. Staff is super friendly, Mike & co are great! Be sure to get a punch card! 10 gyros and the 11th is free!

I have never liked gyros until I got a chicken gyro at this place and it was so delicious. The man who worked there was so friendly and helpful. Overall, if you have never tried this place, you should at least once.

Satiates all of my Mediterranean cravings from hummus and olives to pastries. As previous reviews have mentioned, it is a bit more expensive but you know how the saying goes, "you get what you pay for". Paying more is definitely worth it when the quality of the product is superlative.

Love the gyros, they are huge and very yummy. I've had the falafel and chicken and like them both. Other favorites include the Jamaican Jerk hummus and the tabbouleh.

The Greek Gourmet is the go-to place for hummus. Forget Trader Joe's, forget Whole Foods, definitely forget Giant Eagle. All their hummus is made in-house (yes apparently there's a difference between something made in-house and something that's housemade; housemade can be made in someone else's house). They have their hummus out for you to try before you buy it. Apparently they also are one of the sources of hummus for Whole Food's, as they were out of their smoked white bean hummus the last time I went (its absolutely delicious and the smokiness reminds me of a summertime cookout). Most of their pastries are made in-house; their meat, cheese, and spinach pies are shipped in though. They also have other things like pastas and olive oils and what not, but I'm always drooling over their prepared foods to notice anything else.
(5)
Emmy N.
Everything they make here is DELICIOUS! I have had all the sandwiches (falafel, gyro, ) and different hummus (spinach-feta, garlic, roasted red peppers, olive) and I enjoyed all of them! The sandwiches are very inexpensive also compared to eating at other places. But hummus price is not (not expensive, but not inexpensive either).
(5)
Natalie R.
Go for one reason and one reason only- The many types of excellent hummus. Every flavor I have had is good and I will update further once I've worked my way through the whole menu. The other items are meh. The service is always warm and there are always new samples to try.

Jessica W.
I'm going to say the magic four words again: Smoked white bean hummus! Smoked white bean hummus! Get it. Enjoy it. It's one of the things I'll miss most about leaving Pittsburgh. This is not an exaggeration. The staff here is super nice, and the baklava and the shredded wheat pastry (kataifi?) are the perfect size if you just want a lil' bit of something sweet. While it's no $5 footlong, I'll take Greek Gourmet's sandwich special over Subway's any day.

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.

YUM! This place's gyro special tastes like a gyro straight out of Europe! And the closest thing to Doner Kabob you can get! The yogurt makes the gyro great! The hummus is to die for (feta and sundried tomato is my fav). Its a great place to stop for lunch!! don't forget to try the chocolate baklava too!

Some of the best hummus I have ever tired exists at Greek Gourmet. The store is literally a block away from my place, so I am very lucky to have such a great Mediterranean one-stop market so close by. They have a variety of different kinds of hummus. I like the smoked bean hummus and the hummus with horseradish. When you first walk in, the smell of fresh olives overwhelms you. This is olive heaven! Much much better olive selection compared to Giant Eagle up the hill at a lesser cost. I need to try out their prepared pastries and desserts the next time I go, which should be in the very near future. Overall, a really great Greek market for a mid-sized city.

My husband and I have gotten a regular gyro here on several occasions and each time they have been excellent. $5 and you get so much meat and sauce! Plus the people there are really nice. I would give this place a 5 star rating but the place could use some cleaning and organizing. Kind of looks like a dump sometimes but the food is great!
(4)John B.
The size of their 5$ gyros are ridiculous. So much food, and solid too. Good staff
(4)Rob L.
This is my go-to Friday lunch when I'm working at home. The gyros are huge and a solid deal at $5. The lamb is standard and the chicken is breaded which is a little odd. The sauce is heavy on the dill which makes the gyro. The hummus is worthy of 5 stars. Always solid and lots of flavors to choose from. My father-in-law, who refused to eat hummus, gave the buffalo a shot and loved it. Too bad he lives all the way out in NH. Other great flavors we've had are siracha, Gorgonzola and chive, and olive.

This is the BEST Greek Take Out Ever ! I ordered the Greek Salad with Gyro Meat. And not only was it GREAT , But very reasonably priced and BIG. All the ingredients are fresh , and the staff is friendly and fast. I will be back to get the world famous Gyro and Hummus, but for now , i'm full. You have to give this place a try. I don't think you will be disapointed.
(5)Narayanan V.

Great, great place for cheap and authentic Greek food. The special that probably catches people's attention is $5 for a gyro and can of soda. Every time I get it I'm always surprised at how much there is. I'm always full after that. The hummus is definitely the best in the city. It's all homemade and they change the varieties all the time. One of my favorite parts of going there is sampling the different hummus they have on the counter. I haven't found one I didn't like. And everyone who works there always seems happy to see customers coming in. Just a great place to get some great food.
(5)Sean D.
Very tasty gyro. It gets stuffed full of meat, vegetables, and sauce. Honestly, the stuffing full is what brings it a bit shy of 5 stars. While I appreciate the attention to quantity, the sandwich disintegrated in my hands before I could finish it, which made for a very messy lunch.
(4)Joseph F.
I'm a huge fan of this place, located next to mineo's I've been right next to this place dozens of times and never gave it a look, boy was I wrong. The hummus is amazing, I love the roasted garlic and I'm a big critic of hummus and this place has to have the best I've ever had. The staff is so nice and inviting and I really love their gyros. I believe it is 5 bucks for a gyro and a drink and the gyros are a pretty good size. One had me stuffed but satisfied. In an area with so much to choose from this place is still original and has some great food and really friendly owners.

I think this is the best Greek restaurant in Pittsburgh. The gyros are fantastic and I love the homemade humus that comes in a variety of unique flavors like curry, avocado, and buffalo. Not really room to dine in, so it is much better as takeout.
(5)Amanda J.
I have been looking forward to trying the Greek Gourmet for over a year and half, but I just made it in a few weeks ago. The prices are crazy reasonable, and the employees are super friendly. My experience: Lamb Gyro ($5)- The lamb meat and pita were spot on. Diced tomatoes were great. The tzatziki sauce was unique. I was not a fan. It was a very heavy and creamy sauce, almost like ranch dressing. It also seemed to have a salty feta taste almost. It was very unique. Similar to Laura M, I found the spring mix off-putting and very messy. I would have much preferred romaine. A 2.5 star gyro. I want to go back and try the gyro again with a slight variation. The girl behind me ordered hers without sauce but with hummus. I think this is the way to go. So I would recommend trying a lamb gyro with tomatoes and hummus. They also have a frequent gyro card, and if you buy 10, you get one free! Small Red Pepper Hummus ($3.50)- Spectacular. I will be coming back here to buy more hummus. They had about ten flavors. I also tried the plain hummus, and it was super delicious. Some of the best hummus I have ever eaten. The employees were exceptionally friendly and upbeat and really seemed to like working there. This is a take out only place and more of a market than a restaurant. They also accept credit cards!
(4)Abelle N.
I could use some good 'ol home made hummus right about now!!! i love hummus!!! There's over thirty different types of hummus at the Greek gourmet... I was so thrilled and sad... I wanted to sample every flavor but that was just impossible..lol Instead I bought a gyro...the gyro has the equivalent of their signature Greek hummus added with lots of sausages....they also put a variety of spices and herbs along with their pita bread...There are too many veggies...it was so messy eating that huge sandwich! however the gyro was tasty when served with everything...and they make homemade everything...defiantly get the hummus with the pita yummy!! area is pretty cramped...so get it and get it to go!
(4)Curt R.

(5)Emily W.
This place is the best!!! The gyros here are incredible! And huge! For $5, you can't beat it. Make sure to grab some extra napkins! I like the falafel too, but the gyros are best. And the hummus?! Holy cow! I can't even begin to pick a favorite kind. Honey habanero? Buffalo? Cilantro jalapeno?? Last time I went, they were 3 for $10. That's a price that can't be beat, either! (The same homemade hummus from this place are sold in other stores in the area but are more expensive with a smaller variety). You can buy ingredients and other stuff in the store, but I never have. There is only a small table or two inside the restaurant, so plan on taking your tasty lunch/dinner to-go. The people who work there are incredibly nice. I heard somewhere that they do catering as well, but I'm not sure if that is true. A gem in Squirrel Hill! Highly highly highly recommended. I recently moved away from Pittsburgh, but if I'm ever back, I'll be stopping here for sure.
(5)Laura M.
I stopped by today around 12:30 to grab a gyro for a quick on-the-go lunch. I asked if they had chicken gyros, to which the guy behind the counter said, "Yeah, I can make you one." Nonplussed, I said okay, and he rung me up for $5. After standing around for a couple of minutes, I saw the guy who waited on me get a hunk of meat out, unwrap it, and put it on the broiler. Noticing that the bus that I needed to catch would be there in 3 min., I asked him if my chicken gyro would be ready soon. He assured me that it would, and then proceeded to assemble it and put it on a panini press. When he gave me the finished product, I rushed out the door and managed to catch the bus just in time. Once on the bus, I unwrapped the gyro and proceeded to eat it. Upon inspection, it was large in size and bulky, and contained some surprising ingredients. Instead of iceberg or romaine lettuce leaves, it was topped with spring mix, and I didn't detect any tomatoes in it at all--or fries. The biggest surprise was the meat, however, which consisted of breaded chicken strips, most likely of the previously frozen variety. This is the first time I've ever bitten into a gyro with crunchy (crispy?) meat. The gyro also contained a generous helping of tzatziki sauce, which was applied between the meat and the spring mix. Unfortunately, it lacked the zip that's the hallmark of a well-made tzatziki, and its plentifulness made for messy eating, esp. without napkins, which I forgot to grab when beating a hasty exit to catch the bus. Overall, the flavor wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't what I'm accustomed to in a gyro. I'd be willing to give this place another try for the hummus, since that's what everyone seems to rave about here, or perhaps a pastry, since their selection looked good. For gyros, however, I'd recommend checking to see if the broiler is in use before ordering--at least, for the chicken variety, if you don't want to risk getting a gyro made with crispy chicken strips. For a solid chicken gyro containing standard ingredients and meat sliced from the spit, I recommend Lesvos in the South Side. Based on the positive reviews, I must confess that I expected better.

To start off with, this place is tiny. There is only one table inside to eat at, which no one does...this is a typical grab-and-go Greek deli, with specials written on a board behind the counter. They have coolers stacked high with their food and sauces that they sell at wholesale? As well as a bakery case stuffed with spanakopita and baklava trays. A young man was taking orders and making them. I felt bad for the guy. Yia Yia was bustling around the tight spaces, making sure everyone was content. I had to wait a while for my sandwich, but oh man...the wait was worth it. My gyro was piled high with lamb, a fresh spring mix, onions, and a very nice tzatziki sauce, no tomato! For only $5. I definitely recommend this place, though Yia Yia did hustle me to pay for my food when I was leaving, though I already had.

I stopped by after work on the way home, and took my food to go (there's not a lot of dining space). I wanted to post a picture of my eggplant & feta sandwich, but I scarfed it down too quickly. It was SO good. While the sandwiches are awesome, the hummus is really what makes this place. The little fridges inside are chock full of baba ganoush, salads, drinks, and more types of hummus than you knew existed. They have a combo for a sandwich & 8 oz tub of hummus for $8, which I thought was a great deal.
(5)Joel R.
First off, the gyros here are good, and at five bucks, they are a strong value. The meat appears to be baked, sliced and grilled as opposed to spit-roasted and shaved, so the consistency is closer to meatloaf. Although I prefer the spit-roasted variety, the flavor is still very good. The rest of the sandwich was okay. Good pita, but the greens were basically a bunch of spring mix (tasted too strongly of beet) with too much tzatziki. The whole thing was sort of hastily assembled and didn't physically hold up. That would be okay if we didn't wait so long for the thing. Even before the lunch hour, our wait was very long. There was a single person working here and it showed. They were out of stock on sodas and it took about five minutes before they even knew we were there. The space itself needs repair: broken floor tile, damaged veneer, a mopping. I hate to bag on a small family-run business like this, but that stuff has to be taken care of and the service needs to be faster. I would pay more for that.
(3)Jeffrey L.
All the food at this store will make you want more. I love their Gyros, the Greek grilled cheese is wonderful and the large selection of home make hummus is as good as it gets.
(5)Chelsey B.
I'm surprised to see that no one has commented on the Greek grilled cheese. HOLY DELICIOUS! Imagine melted cheesy deliciousness topped with their amazing hummus and greens with balsamic vinaigrette, all wrapped in their bread. I died.
(5)Ruben S.
The best 5 dollars gyro or falafel you can get. Simply delicious.
(5)Jeanne L.
The gyros are not bad here - and if the sweet grandma makes it for you, they're huge! Otherwise they're a normal size, which is still very filling :). $5 with a can of soda. They have alot of different hummus flavors for purchase here too. Also, can everyone please stop calling them jai-roes?
(4)Michael R.
I think this is the best Greek restaurant in Pittsburgh. The gyros are fantastic and I love the homemade humus that comes in a variety of unique flavors like curry, avocado, and buffalo. Not really room to dine in, so it is much better as takeout.

I have been looking forward to trying the Greek Gourmet for over a year and half, but I just made it in a few weeks ago. The prices are crazy reasonable, and the employees are super friendly. My experience: Lamb Gyro ($5)- The lamb meat and pita were spot on. Diced tomatoes were great. The tzatziki sauce was unique. I was not a fan. It was a very heavy and creamy sauce, almost like ranch dressing. It also seemed to have a salty feta taste almost. It was very unique. Similar to Laura M, I found the spring mix off-putting and very messy. I would have much preferred romaine. A 2.5 star gyro. I want to go back and try the gyro again with a slight variation. The girl behind me ordered hers without sauce but with hummus. I think this is the way to go. So I would recommend trying a lamb gyro with tomatoes and hummus. They also have a frequent gyro card, and if you buy 10, you get one free! Small Red Pepper Hummus ($3.50)- Spectacular. I will be coming back here to buy more hummus. They had about ten flavors. I also tried the plain hummus, and it was super delicious. Some of the best hummus I have ever eaten. The employees were exceptionally friendly and upbeat and really seemed to like working there. This is a take out only place and more of a market than a restaurant. They also accept credit cards!
(4)Abelle N.
I could use some good 'ol home made hummus right about now!!! i love hummus!!! There's over thirty different types of hummus at the Greek gourmet... I was so thrilled and sad... I wanted to sample every flavor but that was just impossible..lol Instead I bought a gyro...the gyro has the equivalent of their signature Greek hummus added with lots of sausages....they also put a variety of spices and herbs along with their pita bread...There are too many veggies...it was so messy eating that huge sandwich! however the gyro was tasty when served with everything...and they make homemade everything...defiantly get the hummus with the pita yummy!! area is pretty cramped...so get it and get it to go!

I stopped by today around 12:30 to grab a gyro for a quick on-the-go lunch. I asked if they had chicken gyros, to which the guy behind the counter said, "Yeah, I can make you one." Nonplussed, I said okay, and he rung me up for $5. After standing around for a couple of minutes, I saw the guy who waited on me get a hunk of meat out, unwrap it, and put it on the broiler.

My husband and I have gotten a regular gyro here on several occasions and each time they have been excellent. $5 and you get so much meat and sauce! Plus the people there are really nice. I would give this place a 5 star rating but the place could use some cleaning and organizing. Kind of looks like a dump sometimes but the food is great!
(4)John B.
The size of their 5$ gyros are ridiculous. So much food, and solid too. Good staff

This is my go-to Friday lunch when I'm working at home. The gyros are huge and a solid deal at $5. The lamb is standard and the chicken is breaded which is a little odd. The sauce is heavy on the dill which makes the gyro. The hummus is worthy of 5 stars. Always solid and lots of flavors to choose from. My father-in-law, who refused to eat hummus, gave the buffalo a shot and loved it. Too bad he lives all the way out in NH. Other great flavors we've had are siracha, Gorgonzola and chive, and olive.
(4)Paul D.
This is the BEST Greek Take Out Ever ! I ordered the Greek Salad with Gyro Meat. And not only was it GREAT , But very reasonably priced and BIG. All the ingredients are fresh , and the staff is friendly and fast. I will be back to get the world famous Gyro and Hummus, but for now , i'm full. You have to give this place a try. I don't think you will be disapointed.
(5)Mark G.
Great, great place for cheap and authentic Greek food. The special that probably catches people's attention is $5 for a gyro and can of soda. Every time I get it I'm always surprised at how much there is. I'm always full after that. The hummus is definitely the best in the city. It's all homemade and they change the varieties all the time. One of my favorite parts of going there is sampling the different hummus they have on the counter. I haven't found one I didn't like. And everyone who works there always seems happy to see customers coming in. Just a great place to get some great food.
(5)Narayanan V.
This place supplies hummus to most of Pitt. Best place to takeout a hummus wrap or falafel any day. Also look out for 3 hummus packs for $10 deal with one of the widest range of delicious hummus. Fresh food, great taste and best value for money !
(5)Sean D.
Very tasty gyro. It gets stuffed full of meat, vegetables, and sauce. Honestly, the stuffing full is what brings it a bit shy of 5 stars. While I appreciate the attention to quantity, the sandwich disintegrated in my hands before I could finish it, which made for a very messy lunch.
(4)Joseph F.
I'm a huge fan of this place, located next to mineo's I've been right next to this place dozens of times and never gave it a look, boy was I wrong. The hummus is amazing, I love the roasted garlic and I'm a big critic of hummus and this place has to have the best I've ever had. The staff is so nice and inviting and I really love their gyros. I believe it is 5 bucks for a gyro and a drink and the gyros are a pretty good size. One had me stuffed but satisfied. In an area with so much to choose from this place is still original and has some great food and really friendly owners.

Best falafel I've had in years... for $6.00. Nice people, good portions, and no nonsense. Just delicious food.
(5)Emily W.
This place is the best!!! The gyros here are incredible! And huge! For $5, you can't beat it. Make sure to grab some extra napkins! I like the falafel too, but the gyros are best. And the hummus?! Holy cow! I can't even begin to pick a favorite kind. Honey habanero? Buffalo? Cilantro jalapeno?? Last time I went, they were 3 for $10. That's a price that can't be beat, either! (The same homemade hummus from this place are sold in other stores in the area but are more expensive with a smaller variety). You can buy ingredients and other stuff in the store, but I never have. There is only a small table or two inside the restaurant, so plan on taking your tasty lunch/dinner to-go. The people who work there are incredibly nice. I heard somewhere that they do catering as well, but I'm not sure if that is true. A gem in Squirrel Hill! Highly highly highly recommended. I recently moved away from Pittsburgh, but if I'm ever back, I'll be stopping here for sure.

A welcoming family run business specializing in Greek food. They have the most diverse selection of hummus that I have ever seen: cilantro jalapeño, artichoke, sweet potato, habanero, and many others flavors. They also sell Greek desserts, olives, pita bread, and other Mediterranean specialties. The menu is simple which makes it easy to decide what to eat. I opted for a gyro. The pita was packed with meat, romaine lettuce, and a Greek tomato & onion salad. The sandwich was flavorful and refreshing. It was the best gyro that I've had in Pittsburgh.
(4)Karyn D.
This place is the best. HUGE portions, delicious, fresh, made to order. It is a family run business and they are adorable and lovely people, especially Yaya. I highly recommend the lamb gyro and the sun dried tomato hummus. Or the spinach and feta hummus, or the classic hummus, or the buffalo hummus, or the olive hummus... :)
(5)Sayantan B.
There falafal is really good. What I don't like about them is they use breaded chicken in chicken gyro.
(3)Rachel C.
Holy hummus batman!! I mean, it's like a hummus party and everyone's invited. Seriously, if you're a true friend you would invite everyone to this hummus party because it's so good! Apparently with over 20 kinds of hummus, you can please them all. I tried a plethora of different ones but loved the buffalo, garlic and horseradish one the best. I went home with the horseradish and have been happily eating it every day since. Man does that horsey sauce give you a kick in the butt, but it's goooood! I also had a gyro with all the fixin's. The pita bread, soft and chewy. The lamb, loads of it and nice and moist, no dry meat here! The sauce (maybe to me one of the most important parts) was awesome! Love me some cucumber yogurt greek sauce... load me up with it and I'm good to go! Plus, it's cheap cheap cheap, with gyro's at around $5 and the hummus being around $3. You won't break the bank with this lunch/dinner/snack! It's a family run business and the owner is SUPER friendly and easy to talk to. it's so awesome to see an owner that's so passionate about the business and happy to be there. I know I'll be back for my stock of hummus, I'm hooked and I can't turn back now!!
(5)Jackie H.
4.5! The hummus is SOOOOOOO good. Oh and I just had the most amazing gyro wrap there today too actually. I'm pretty sure it's family run, which is always nice. The space is a little small and old, but there are a few tables to enjoy your food there if you can't wait until you get home to eat (like me). We'll definitely be stocking our fridge with this place's hummus.
(4)Josh F.
Paid $5 for a giant, delicious gyro. I've eaten my fair share of gyros and this one tops the list. Tons of meat, fresh tomatoes, fresh pita, and delicious tzatziki. And they have a huge selection of homemade hummus. We bought the jalapeño-cilantro, spicy avocado, and horseradish. They were all great, but the horseradish really stood out. Want to try to jerk hummus and curry hummus next. Definitely a gem.
(5)Dania P.
Love The Greek Gourmet! You can get a gyro and drink for $5! You don't have to get the standard Gyro-any of their Gyro sandos are only $5-which is a steal if you are in a pinch for dinner or lunch. Also-they are DELICIOUS! In addition to yummy gyros and friendly service they have a variety of hummus choices. MMMMM. If you are a lover of hummus like me you will super like this. The hub's favorite was honey habanero, my personal fave was spinach and feta hummus-but the gal at the counter let us know they come out with seasonal treats and will soon be having a sweet potato hummus- I'd try it :) The only down side to this place is there is only a small seating area (like one bar with two stools) so get it to go an enjoy it in one of Pitt's fabulous parks or come with a small party!
(4)Bennett R.
LOVE IT! There's a million places to get falafel and humus in squirrel hill, but as far as I'm concerned the rest can take a hike, this is my spot. Everything they sell is delicious - all the humuses (humi??!?), tabbouleh, falafel, gyros, pastisio, mousakka . . . my only problem going there is I leave with way too much food! Also I really love family run businesses. My boy friend said he wasn't sure he likes Greek food. Grandma looked at him like he was stupid and told him to go wait outside. They have pizza next door for people who don't like Greek food. Love the food, and love that spicy granny too!
(4)Britney C.
Great gyro and great service...I've had baklava before but the crap that comes in a box at SAMs club...I didn't really like the SAMs club version but I got to try some from this place...wow!!! Totally changed my outlook on the desert...it was like eating honey paper with walnuts...they heated it up just enough that it was ooey and delicious..mmmh Gyro was awesome...lots of meat and veggies too...great cucumber sauce ...a lil sloppy tho.,.like a sloppy Jo Ill call this one a sloppy go...haha
(5)Andy D.
If you don't work in Squirrel Hill, I feel bad for you son. Just kidding. Kind of. Not really. Greek Gourmet on Murray Ave is my goto move for lunch. $5 for a gyro AND a drink is the best deal in the city. Can't be beat neither. Their gyros and Greek salads are fresh and generous. Also, if you like hummus, they have a selection to die for. Personal favorites are their buffalo hummus and spicy avocado. Staff is super friendly, Mike & co are great! Be sure to get a punch card! 10 gyros and the 11th is free!
(5)J J.
I have never liked gyros until I got a chicken gyro at this place and it was so delicious. The man who worked there was so friendly and helpful. Overall, if you have never tried this place, you should at least once.
(5)October R.
Satiates all of my Mediterranean cravings from hummus and olives to pastries. As previous reviews have mentioned, it is a bit more expensive but you know how the saying goes, "you get what you pay for". Paying more is definitely worth it when the quality of the product is superlative.
(4)Suzanne K.
Love the gyros, they are huge and very yummy. I've had the falafel and chicken and like them both. Other favorites include the Jamaican Jerk hummus and the tabbouleh.
(5)Eric L.
The Greek Gourmet is the go-to place for hummus. Forget Trader Joe's, forget Whole Foods, definitely forget Giant Eagle. All their hummus is made in-house (yes apparently there's a difference between something made in-house and something that's housemade; housemade can be made in someone else's house). They have their hummus out for you to try before you buy it. Apparently they also are one of the sources of hummus for Whole Food's, as they were out of their smoked white bean hummus the last time I went (its absolutely delicious and the smokiness reminds me of a summertime cookout). Most of their pastries are made in-house; their meat, cheese, and spinach pies are shipped in though. They also have other things like pastas and olive oils and what not, but I'm always drooling over their prepared foods to notice anything else.
(5)Emmy N.
Everything they make here is DELICIOUS! I have had all the sandwiches (falafel, gyro, ) and different hummus (spinach-feta, garlic, roasted red peppers, olive) and I enjoyed all of them! The sandwiches are very inexpensive also compared to eating at other places. But hummus price is not (not expensive, but not inexpensive either).
(5)Natalie R.
Go for one reason and one reason only- The many types of excellent hummus. Every flavor I have had is good and I will update further once I've worked my way through the whole menu. The other items are meh. The service is always warm and there are always new samples to try.
(4)Jessica W.
I'm going to say the magic four words again: Smoked white bean hummus! Smoked white bean hummus! Get it. Enjoy it. It's one of the things I'll miss most about leaving Pittsburgh. This is not an exaggeration. The staff here is super nice, and the baklava and the shredded wheat pastry (kataifi?) are the perfect size if you just want a lil' bit of something sweet. While it's no $5 footlong, I'll take Greek Gourmet's sandwich special over Subway's any day.
