Greek Spot — Restaurant in Sunnyvale

Unquestionably, the adage, "you are what you eat," is probably not what the owner of the revered "Greek Spot" in Sunnyvale has in mind. Of all the dining experiences one could compare to jumping off a cliff – spoiler alert - dining here leads the pack! The food served at this hapless place is as appealing as a dive into a pool filled with shards of glass.

First on the menu was the Toddler’s Frisbee, or as they call it, their rendition of a Greek salad. The vegetables were so far removed from freshness, they might as well have been fossilized relics of Byzantine ruins. Furthermore, the feta cheese, an ostensibly core element, was absent. Apparently, they regard it as an optional accessory, akin to earrings on a mosquito. The authentic Greek seasonings were barely discernible beneath the coating of a ranch dressing nightmare, which tasted a lot like disillusionment and misplaced optimism.

Next came what the restaurant laughably christens as its 'signatures' dishes - Moussaka and Spanakopita. The Moussaka was a labyrinth of culinary horrors dominated by the taste of undercooked eggplant, redefining the Abyss of Hades. Each bite was like a trudge through Tartarus, a laboriously malevolent taste journey nobody should endure.

The Spanakopita must have been prepared by a Spartan warrior with no culinary skills whatsoever, and who was probably thrown off a cliff at birth for poor cooking. Rather than the traditional dish replete with the delicate balance of spinach and feta cheese, this masterpiece was more like a pastry armor shield with vestiges of spinach and ghost whispers of feta cheese. The phyllo was drier than the island of Delos in summer and crumbled more pitifully than the ruins of Athens under the thumb of time.

Accompanying this woeful parade, the Tzatziki sauce that should have been tangy and refreshing sadly bore the taste of ignorance and deception. It was a concoction more reminiscent of expired yogurt flirting with cucumber that had lost its will to live.

Not to forget, the customer service – the final murmur in this operatic disappointment. A spasm of desolation hits you at every interaction – from the listless greeting to the nonchalant wait staff who would occasionally grace your presence like indifferent gods frequenting the land of mere mortals.

In conclusion, until a divine intervention miraculously transforms their culinary calamities into edible artistry, stepping into the "Greek Spot" is akin to embarking on your very own ill-fated Odyssey. This so-called beacon of Hellenic cuisine casts naught but a pitiful flickering shadow, one that does an absolute disservice to the glorious gastronomic heritage of Greece. The only thing Greek about the “Greek Spot” is the tragic tragedy it unfolds with its menu.

This is not a restaurant that you visit – it's more of a place you merely survive. Much like a fiery breath rushed forth from Cerberus himself, your first and only visit may feel like an enduring ordeal in culinary Hades. Mark my words, a dinner at the "Greek Spot" will make Prometheus's punishment appear but a copacetic holiday.

Regrettably, no amount of tears shed or shame felt can amend these mistakes – my only hope is that the sheer devastation voicing in this review will inspire a dramatic culinary turnaround that will save future patrons from the dismal dining experience I was forced to endure. Until then, I urge innocent epicurean explorers to consider more deserving outlets for their gastronomic adventures. "Greek Spot" is, indeed, a...

If this restaurant was not in Silicon Valley then I would have given it four stars. But considering the food I've had here, this is a far cry from what I've experienced in the last few days. I ordered the lamb gyro and a side of baba ganoush. There are two types of Mediterranean restaurants, one of them has actual meat and one of them has the ground meat that is shaped to form meat. This one has the ground meat. It wasn't very good. The fresh tomatoes and onions that seemed like they were just cut were very good. The pita was also good, because it was warm and seemed like it was fried for just a few seconds. Which was a nice touch. The baba ganoush was absolutely horrible. It was cold and served in a little plastic cup. Like something you would see in a middle school or a hospital. I asked the waitress if it was made in the store and she said yes. But it seemed like it was from a big barrel of baba ganoush. That was made in a factory. I think it's the first time that I have ever not finished a plate of baba ganoush. I'm pretty disappointed in this place considering how good the food was at the other restaurants that I've been to around here. The other restaurants were 10 butchers Korean and tres...

I love Greek food and kebabs are so good! The Greek Spot @GreekSpot2015 is a restaurant near my work and I have been coming here for years. I usually get the Gyro plate but today I felt adventurous and got the Souvlaki plate, which is three skewer of meet (pork, chicken, and beef kebab) pita, tomatoes, red onions, tzatziki, and fries. The aroma that comes from the plate is amazing! Everything smelled so good and fresh. The meat was perfectly seasoned and well cooked. The fries were crispy and also seasoned well. The tomatoes and onions were fresh produce that they prepare very recently. I also love eating here because the portion is generous and humongous, I can never finish the portion in one sitting. I love the decor of the restaurant, it's feels very authentic and Greek like. They also have have outdoor seating, I like having my meal there because it's hot and fresh. They have additional sauces if you want to add for kick and flavor to your meal. I love coming for an awesome meal. @GreekSpot2015 🍅🧅🥔🥩🐮🐄🐔🐑
