Love the food, good portions, reasonably priced. Have never been disappointed as we have been with other takeout restaurants.

Demos in Watertown was really disappointing. We ordered two gyros, one lamb and one falafel, and the total came to about $30. The falafel gyro only had two small pieces of falafel and it was very dry. The tomato in it tasted old and not fresh. The lamb gyro also tasted old and not very good. The fries were undercooked and seemed like they had been sitting for a while. Overall it felt like a waste of money. For the price, the quality and freshness of the food should have been much bett read more

I've been there twice in the last month with a friend each time we've had a phenomenal meal great service really clean great ambience inside all the staff is really helpful. We even forgot our credit card they brought it to the table. Greek salad is the best one I've had in years and I've had it from a lot of places. I've been going there often over the last 30 years of my life, but I've moved out of the area recently came back and it's better than ever have had the lamb kebab the beef kebab the chicken kebab the rice pilaf the green beans the salad the fresh warm pita bread everything is so great really is I would recommend anyone definitely worth the drive. Very convenient right in Watertown Square parking on the street parking behind. I always forget to take pictures which I so regret. I just never remember when I get food, I'm just so happy. I just eat it. read more

Everything was absolutely delicious. Fresh and delicious is what everyone was saying. Two brothers run the show and they are the nicest guys and so customer service oriented which means a lot to me! We drove almost an hour to meet up with some family members we hadn't seen in awhile! It was the perfect spot to have chosen for lunch. Great food, great service what more can one ask for! read more

I haven't visited in many years 10 yrs at least All of the food looks amazing- bright and lively - The presentation is spot on - always has been for so many years I just didn't enjoy any of this meal. The salad was bland - no taste I had 2 skewers lamb kabobs with lemon potatoes The lamb was well done-' and the potatoes were not that tasty or lemon taste I ordered a root-beer soda Came in a fountain glass and that also seemed flat water like flavor My guest had the chicken parm with rice Nothing to mention further read more

One of the best Greek restaurants in MA! There was so much on the menu that I wanted to try and the staff let us completely customize our meal so that we could try a bunch of different menu items! They were super friendly and accommodating. The food was outstanding especially the spanakopita and shrimp skewers. Great portions too! Note, there is street parking, but I had no problem finding a spot on a Saturday night. Plenty of seating inside. Very casual and informal. Will definitely be back! read more

Food overpriced and sparse. Got kabob salad no dressing but called and said it was on the very small salad. Got 4 pieces of chicken and had to pay for extra bread no dressing. Falfel was burnt and very little taste. Paid extra for more chicken additional skewer and more bread. New to area and didnt know ordering and got no help from who I ordered from. Im often go to Nicks in Winthrop for kabob and very disappointed. So $40 dollars later Im still hungry. Parking was awful so it wasnt worth stopping. read more

February 5th, 2025. I had a 20 item to go order for a business lunch in Watertown. Demo's worked with me to arrange an exact pick-up time, and to get every single item correct, including special order items. All the meals were hot or cold as ordered, and the food was fresh and delicious. There were zero complaints, and that's saying something in a group of twenty. We will be back! read more

The food was really authentic and totally delicious! Super nice staff. Will definitely come again. Thank you

Demos has been transformed from a good restaurant into a great one. Everything is fresh and beautifully prepared. The menu has a wide range of traditional Greek entrees and appetizers + more. The staff is kind, attentive and considerate. The two brothers have reimagined this restaurant by keeping its family friendly neighborhood feeling and connections, but upping its game cuisine-wise. In doing so they have achieved that rare sweet spot in fine dining:-affordable prices and top tier cuisine. read more

I had dinner with friends. Demos has a casual atmosphere; it's cafeteria style. I've had their skewers before and they're excellent, but, tonight I tried the pastitio. It comes with a Greek salad and a side, I went with the rice. It was delicious. After you order and pay, your food is brought to your table. The service was prompt and polite. Next time, maybe the Lemonato. read more

Amazing fresh, hot, delicious Greek food! Not a fancy place but so worth it. Th grape leaves are to die for.

Demos is a phenomenal establishment that serves what I consider the best Greek Food around. When you consider the quality of food, the portions provided, the price you pay along with the friendly staff, this place is not only a place for great food but a place when you get more for your dollar. Manny, the owner, makes certain that the customer is taken care of by making them feel like they are dining at home. The place is clean and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. If you're looking for a place to go when you are hungry, this is it. It has certainly become my go to place and I cannot recommend it enough! read more

I put in a large order of shish-kabobs, Gyros, Salad and spinach pies for a family gathering at my home this past Sunday. Everything was wonderful! The food was carefully packaged and so fresh! It was a last minute decision but one my family and I agree was a very good one. Thank you Manny/staff -great (delicious) job!!! read more

Tonight we decide to grab takeout at Demos, a Watertown staple for many many years. The restaurant is clean and very quiet even though there were a half a dozen people eating in. My order of one chicken skewer and salad, and two chicken skewer dinner with rice and salad was ready when I arrived. Salads come with dressing on which makes some of the lettuce look undesirable but overall the salad is good. The dressing is oil based and ok but not my favorite. The salad does not come with pepperoncini and that stinks. The rice is very fresh. It was light and fluffy and flavorful. The chicken was better than I remembered. The chunks of chicken were large and the chicken was moist and tender. There were a couple of bites that were tough but most pieces could be cut with a fork. There was a nice char on the chicken which added to the overall flavor. Demos is very consistent and always a great place to grab a quick meal. read more

I went there last night with my girlfriend for the first time. The service was A++, the guys behind the counter were so nice and greeted us as soon as we walked through the door. The food was amazing, we love Mediterranean food. Their food is the best we've ever had. If you look at the menu, you may think the prices are high but for the amount of food that you get the prices definitely worth it we both had to take food home and we ate the rest for lunch today. read more

Today my salad was romaine and mesclun. It wasn't the iceberg that I have loved for the 31 years I've been coming to this place. The food was still great. This salad was fresh but it wasn't the salad that I thought was famous at Demos. I understand that the owners might want to 'class it up.' Iceberg gets a bad rap but it's the crunch and what we've come to expect at Demos. Crazy as it sounds, I'm less likely to get Demos now that this salad is different. read more

Always stellar. Their chicken is never advance cooked. Always a long week compared to other places, but worth it.

I've been getting take out from here for years. A friend referred me, and they have been going there for years as well. Both of us live promoting local businesses. Back then I ate meat and always got the lamb chops, now vegan they still can satisfy my needs. Ordered a grilled veggie sandwich in a pillowy soft pita. Fried zucchini with their red sauce, rice and more of that red sauce. Everything cooked to my specifications, and enough food for another meal. I've had the Greek salad there, fresh and tasty. Oh and the baklava yummy too. I've had the chicken parm, good with massive amounts of pasta. This restaurant is not to be confused with a restaurant with the same name in the next town over. THEY ARE VERY DIFFERENT! Thanks Demo's! read more

I'm sorry but this is some of the worst takeout, let alone Greek food, I've ever had in the area. I ordered a salad with gyro, the salad was completely wilted and inedible. The avgolemono tastes like a cup of hot water that may or may not have had a lemon placed in it. I ended up throwing everything out except for the side of tzatziki. I'm kind of amazed at how bad this is. read more

I am Greek, so I know good Greek food, And Demo's is the perfect spot if you are craving Greek. The inside of the restaurant is updated and beautiful. Demo's offers a wide range of choices, however, I always get the chicken souvlaki with rice and Greek salad/pita bread. My husband always gets the gyro, and he loves it, and my son got the Double Burger and he wolfed it down. The owner is a Greek, super nice guy. The service there is warm and friendly. I wish we lived closer! read more

Manny was great and so was the rest of his staff. I called him at 10:45am to prep and cook for 30 people. He double checked my order and made sure I got everything I needed. Helped me pack the food into the car and and had everything ready in about 1 hour. They have top notch service there. The rice and rice gravy was terrific. The lemon potatoes were soft and flavorful. The green beans were tasty and still had a nice snap from it. The pita was solid especially with the sauces he gave us. The skewers were absolutely phenomenal! Chicken was tender and perfectly seasoned. The steak blew us out of the water though, nicely seared from the charcoal grill with the perfect amount of seasoning. Everyone was very pleased overall with Demos. I will definitely return (currently looking at their menu now for dinner). read more

Great food and great service! Clean place! Enjoyed the whole experience! We had no idea what to order but they were very helpful in helping us make our decision. Great call- pork kabobs! read more

Amazing, so good. Such nice people working there. Very good kebab and tasty gyros. Get the hummus and feta and olives all together, life changing. I also live the overall vibe of the place. Bathrooms very nice and very clean. Optimal location for eating. read more

We have visited Demos a couple of times due to its convenient location on our way home from work, and we've always been very happy with the food there. The restaurant has a casual, simple diner feel, and the food is good and the portion sizes generous. We've tried the moussaka, the spanakopita, and the gyros and all were excellent. read more

Haven't been here in a while because I did not like the ambience of the previous place but since they have totally remodeled the entire restaurant, it looks absolutely great! Of coarse I ordered the lamb shish kebab that came with two skewers and a side salad and a plate of rice pilaf that were absolutely perfect. The lamb was perfectly cooked and pink in the middle and not too salty. Prices were very good and actually I got more here than another place in Watertown. This is my new go to place for Mediterranean food! read more

Demos Watertown - Lamb shish kebab with rice - Mediterranean Near Me - Watertown, Massachusetts

Decent food& reasonable prices. Not particularly memorable. Varied menu. Been around for awhile, which is something.

Walking into Demos I was having much higher expectations for what I experienced. Understanding they have come off of a remodel, the decor is nice and aspects of the meal were good but so many other misses it killed the experience. For my salad, as simple as a greek salad is they seem to not be able to hit it. A lone cucumber, a single olive, a wedge of tomato with a ton of iceberg lettuce and enough onions is NOT a greek salad. It has feta, but after about half a plate of it I decided to let it suffer in peace. The gyro had some high notes, but also so many lows it just overall made it a meh. The lamb itself was good, but then they pile in a ton of bland mediocre fries. A gyro doesn't need fries, and why you add bad ones is beyond me. You could have given another piece of lamb and I wouldn't have noticed. As for tomato there wasn't a lot and given the quality of the tomato I guess I understand why. But sure they love their onions here. If there was lettuce I couldn't tell. Yet there was an abundance of tzatziki which by the end became a pita with just onion and sauce I couldn't finish. Looking at pictures of the chicken, and even the lamb from the gyro, Demos looks like it can do some stuff well. But at least the things I seemed to get served were not able to meet any of it. I would like to give it 3 stars but I honestly can't say my meal was even ok. So a 2 star meh is what you get. read more

If they get your order right, you're in for a treat. But the last few times I've been in there, they get it wrong. No cheese usually means extra cheese, and some of the portions have gotten pitiful. I get it---prices have increased, and so have theirs. They've raised their prices, but the quality has diminished. This place used to be the best, but now the new owners have been lacking on maintaining the tradition. A fair experience, bordering on disappointing. read more

Service is great. But the food is even better. The lamb shank, the rice with tomato sauce, the vege skewers...all excellent. Go there all of the time. Was my father's go to place for a quick great meal. Prices are just fine. Salads good too. Getting hungry taking about it read more
