I hate when there is no 0 or below stars . My wife is Greek so I know Greek Food . I’m familiar with the DMV DC Marylnd Virginia . And by far this is my worst experience in many years . I would say one thing . The waiters were So courteous and nice. We ordered 3 appetizers. Falafel hummus and kalamata olives with feta cheese.
The hummus tasted like evening expect hummus and the worst was how did it look that was disgusting. The falafel where the frozen but I would say its okay to use this kind of falafel. But why someone precook falafel? Guys again the taste was more than awful. If you tried falafel before you will understand what i’m saying.
My friends ordered the gyro plats. Which is the typical Greek food. And I was surprised when I took a bite from my friends plats. A Greek restaurant using processed gyro meat. That is at the highest 45% meat. Even if it taste good that's the worst kind of thing you can put in your body. When you say gyro its the most famous Greek food . The gyro in the pita bread with tzatziki sauce. I ordered the lamb chops. The lamb chops we so don't that I did end up eating salad and rice instead of enjoying my food. I don't mind paying the price to eat a plat that is not salads and rice. The last person ordered a chicken kebab. And again its plain flavorless chicken like basically chicken breast in skewers with salt and oregano after being grilled. The pita was cold. Like not even warmed before being served to customers.
So basically I’m sure of one thing. They don't have a chef. Even the worst chef would make his own gyro.
They use the most basic restaurant depot supplies.
I never wrote down a bad review in my life. I’m more I don't like a place I just make sure I don't go there again. But yesterday night I was out with 3 of my best friend. And I choose the Greek Mediterranean and it turned out to be a true disaster. One of my friends just got sick after 1hours of eating there.
It was just when you eat something and your body reject it.
We end up paying 120$ check.
Please don't go there read this carefully before you go there. This is a true trap. This a one time place that you would never go back.
I feel so bad about all these 5 stars reviews. People are being so dishonest and it's disappointing cause I went there after reading reviews.
Again this has nothing to do with the stuff.they were very...
Read moreI literally didn’t have time to take pics because their Greek Gyro Special is so freaking good.
Been coming here for years and the consistency is 10/10
The bread they use is absolutely perfect. Super soft and warmed up with a slight chew. Kind of makes me think of gorditas 🤔.
The meat is sliced to ordered and always has little crispy bits of the sides. It’s always a super generous portion too. The seasoning and spice blend is so perfect and the texture is soft with a bit of crunch.
Then the vegetables are the real unsung hero here. I’m not usually a salad person but the lettuce and tomato give the whole wrap a freshness and a lightness to the whole thing. It’s still a super rich rib sticking situation, but the lettuce and tomatoes give you just enough freshness to cleanse your palate.
The sauce is really the star of the show in my opinion. Idk what goes in but it’s freaking perfect. Garlicky, herby, acidity from the yogurt and lemon juice. Holy crap this takes it to the next level.
It’s a dense thick wrap that definitely fills you up. I also usually order the Greek fries and they’re great with hot sauce and ketchup (hope that’s not a Greek cuisine sin 😇).
The rice pudding is also spectacular. Drenched in cinnamon and the sweetness level is perfect (fellow Asian ppl you know what I mean).
The thing that really motivated me to write this review (besides having the best gyro I’ve ever had in Boston) was their hospitality.
We got our usual order this past weekend from them and as we are opening up our Greek fries in the car, we realize they’re just regular fries (no cheese/ herbs).
Obviously not a big deal, but I decided to call them and just let them know to see how they would react. Once I let them know the dude over the phone (big shout out to you homie) was super nice about it and totally owned it.
He told us if we can come back they’ll make it right and when we came back he not only gave us a fresh order of green fries but also gave us 2 free desserts with full generosity.
Hospitality feels like a dying and under appreciated art these days and that’s really a shame. I hope this review inspires you to support a gem like Greek Corner and for the restaurant to know that their generosity is...

In the vast sea of culinary establishments, The Greek Corner Restaurant emerges as a beacon of authentic Greek flavors, transporting diners to the sun-kissed landscapes of Greece with every bite. Having recently returned from a Grecian adventure, my taste buds were yearning for the hearty and robust flavors I had grown fond of. My visit to The Greek Corner did more than just satiate this yearning—it was a delightful voyage through a unique culinary tradition.
The stars of my meal were undoubtedly the moussaka and gyro. The moussaka was a layered paradise of scrumptious flavors, crowned with a bechamel sauce that was nothing short of a creamy dream. Its delightful milkiness paired with the robustness of the meat, eggplant, and potatoes created a harmonious dance of flavors that beckoned forkful after forkful.
On the other hand, the gyro was a masterful display of Greek culinary expertise. Wrapped in a soft, warm pita, the meat was tender and seasoned to perfection, evoking memories of bustling Athens eateries. The homemade tzatziki sauce was the proverbial cherry on top—cool, creamy, and packed with a zesty tang that brightened the hearty flavors of the gyro.
However, every rose has its thorns, and for me, it was the Greek fries. My personal preference leans towards a crispy, crunchy texture, but these fries seemed to steer towards a softer semblance, possibly a characteristic of the potato variety used. Despite this minor hiccup, my culinary journey remained largely undeterred.
One can't help but appreciate the friendly and knowledgeable service provided at The Greek Corner. The servers were more than just order takers—they were guides through the Greek culinary landscape, enhancing the dining experience manifold.
I eagerly look forward to my next visit to The Greek Corner Restaurant, for there’s still a myriad of flavors waiting to be explored. The authenticity and warmth encapsulated in this quaint eatery promise many more delightful...
