The Greek Spot — Restaurant in Washington

The Greek Spot offers a wide array of good-tasting menu options, but the food quality doesn't justify the higher-than-average prices.

That's not to say that the Greek Spot is bad. In fact, I thought it was quite good! The vegetables tasted fresh, the seasoning on the fries was fantastic, and the meat was well-seasoned and tender. Food was ready quickly and the staff were responsive and knowledgeable about menu questions. There is adequate seating available- I won't say plentiful (I went at a time that was pretty slow), but outdoor seating and indoor seating for pairs or very small groups is available.

The portions were less than I expected from the cost. Having read other reviews I was expecting a full tray of fries and a bursting full pita, but got neither. The fries, which were fantastic, went quickly, and the only moderately-full pita left me wanting something more to eat (I'm usually a pretty light lunch-eater!). The less-than-generous portions combined with the slightly above-average cost for most of the menu options make it unlikely that this Greek Spot will become my go-to Greek spot.

If you're looking for something a bit more out of the way and are willing to spend a few dollars extra for lunch, the Greek Spot is likely to satisfy, but not dazzle you with an appealing location, common menu options, and maybe you will, maybe you...

I got the side sampler and the lamb and beef gyro. I'm so happy. Side sampler included tzatziki, hommos, a couple bars of cheese, spicy feta, a chickpea salad, and dolmas! Great deal and delicious, The only reason I dock a star is bc it did not include olives (well, it had three individual olives) which are listed on the online description as well as the ordering app I use. I can't eat too much chickpea stuff so would've preferred olives over the chickpea salad... All the pros outweight this one misstep though! I recently got Greek from a restaurant owned by a Michelin star chef... Was thoroughly unimpressed. Tiny container of one of these sides for just a few dollars less than Greek Spot's beautiful spread, and it was inedible. I was very impressed with the quality and portion size. Came with extra side of pita.

I also got the lamb and beef gyro with feta sauce, so nice and hefty. I really enjoyed the feta sauce. Generous on the feta. Again, fantastic value and portion.

I got this a few days ago and I am STILL finishing...

First off the service was amazing, one of the best Gyro's I've had since I moved to the DMV. I like the meat to hit the flat top for a minute or two before assembly and they alsp put the pita on longer(which I didn't ask for but man am I glad they did) As someone who has been eating them since birth, I found it so good I was dancing on the sidewalk. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the cheese pie or Tiropita was good but the oil they had used was no longer good. It tasted like it had turned and left a stale oil flavor almost rotten, that I couldn't get past. Sorry to say I ate half and had to toss the rest. But I will say this. Most places do not carry it because so many Americans do not know what it is and they are missing out. ( please do not take it off of the Menu, I'll be making a monthly trip just for it) Like you know what Spanakopita is but not the better cheese version. But I will be back for sure. I need to try more...
