What can I say, sometimes a dining spot randomly suggested by Waze can lead to unexpected (extremely pleasant) outcomes. When prompted for a lunch venue, I was recommended a diner by Waze on Merritt PKWY while driving back home from NY to MA. I spotted Freskos on my way to the said diner and decided to stop there instead. It was a good decision. The food is simply amazing. What was even better was the service by Chris and Peter, the owner. They are hardworking folks putting mouthwatering authentic Greek food in front of their patrons. I meant it when I told Peter that I will surely be stopping by again on my frequent trips between the Bean Town and the Big Apple! Do give them a try. They are right off Merritt PKWY in Hamden CT. read more

Found this adorable eatery thanks to my Yelp Family! Great food, service & aesthetics. Bright, clean & spacious spot. They also have an outdoor patio for dining. My hubby got the Horiatiki Salad with grilled chicken ($14) & Greek yogurt with honey & figs ($5). I got the traditional gyro ($8.99) & we tried the chilled watermelon soup, which we did not care for. I think it had fresh oregano in it, which I didn't like. The rest of the food was delicious & fresh. A bit pricey, but worth the quality & large portions. Their loukomades ($5.99 for 6) were amazing! You have to ask for them they no longer have them on the menu. Best rice pudding! Rich & creamy! Chris was very welcoming & friendly. You g lady at the counter was very nice & answered all my questions happily. We would definitely return next time we're out this way! read more

I am so impressed by the food here! I loved every thing I tried and wouldn't have changed a thing about my meal! I had: Chicken Souvlaki: chicken was tender and marinated to perfection Lemon Potatoes: the best I've ever had! Greek Fries: Shoe thing fries perfectly done and topped with small pieces of feta, that was a plus! Galaktoboureko: a big hit in my house! read more

Good food, service was good and everything was ready in a timely manner. Will be back if I'm in the area

Good food with fast service. Nothing fancy, but if you are looking for good Greek food at a reasonable price, Freskos is a very good option.

By FAR the worst gyro I have ever had in my life. Don't know if they make uber eats orders bad on purpose but wow I'm stunned at the quality of food vs what is pictured. The gyro was dry and came with no tzatziki sauce on the side like I ordered. No dill, no nothing but a sad tomato and some sad beef - they even left the onions off mine but not my friend. Never again, we got no drinks we got cold fries we got nothing for the money. If you cant handle take out don't do it. read more

I really enjoyed this place for lunch. We found out about Freskos on Groupon. It's in a little bit of a strange location but I like that there's ample parking. Almost looks like a corporate area on the outside. It's super cute inside and nicely decorated, about 8 tables to eat at. You order at the counter and then bring your food to you or you can do take out. We got a gyro and a chicken souvlaki pita with some fries. The food was fresh and yummy. The girl at the counter was super friendly and answered any questions we had. We plan on coming back to try more, looks like there's little containers of hummus and feta you can get to go too. read more

I always find myself craving a Greek salad with avgolemono soup, it's one of my favorites! And it is so hard to find a really good soup in my opinion as well as a Greek salad with perfectly cooked - not dry chicken. This one was amazing and I will surely be back for more of it. read more

Really cute Greek spot. Good for grab and go or a quick bite outside. The owner cleaned and sanitized no less than twice during the hour we were there. Great outdoor seating and right off the highway. The food is incredibly authentic Greek, very fresh and good portions. Highly recommend for a quick healthy bite to eat. read more

The $6 gyro Monday deal is amazing. The beef/lamb mixture is perfectly moist and the pita bread is a perfect pillow. The traditional lemon soup is a fan favorite in my home and ordered anytime someone is under the weather or simply craving the soup. The owner is so sweet and always looking for ways to make the experience better not only for clients, but also his employees. read more

This is a great little place for quick Greek bites. It's small, relatively family friendly, and best for lunch.

5 stars again for Fresko's during the Covid19 pandemic, we ordered the family meal deal of 4 sandwiches, a Greek salad, fries for 4, and baklava for $55, I gave my card over the phone to pay, pulled up and they put the bag in my car for me, contactless yet still just as delicious A+ read more

Absolutely loved Freskos in Hamden CT. We stopped by on a Saturday for an early lunch. The place was super busy but our food came out fast. I loved that they had a tofu option for their gyros and so many options for those that don't eat red meat. I was so impressed by the freshness of the gyro and the lemon potato wedges. I can't wait to come back and try more gyros. read more

Clean, affordable, and eco-friendly (more or less). I love the place because it promotes eco-friendly eating for customers. For instance, paper straws instead of plastic straws! Also, I was able to bring in my own container and have them fill it with their smoothie blend. I'm happy that I'm able to be waste free here and still have a good time. The only thing is that they have plastic eating utensils and plastic containers to hold their salads - my suggestion? Cardboard take out containers and wood utensils! Nevertheless, I'm very excited and happy that their staff were able to share the same support towards being waste free. The cost for the salads, sandwiches, and pizzas are fairly affordable if not a little below average to everywhere else. I definitely recommend their salads with meat. It's 5.99 for the salad and then an additional $3 for meat. It's a little steep for the cost of a salad but definitely worth it! I got their mixed berry smoothie and it was about $6 for a 16 oz. The price is a little yikes but it tastes very fresh and healthy! read more

Not great. Old baklava - not crispy at all. Tzatziki sauce was very plain- no dill, just yogurt. Lemon fries were good.

Really enjoyed our experience here. They have a simple online ordering feature that allows you to easily browse the menu. The food was ready even faster than the online order feature anticipated. We ordered the Classic Gyro and the Chicken Souvlaki - both were tasty and filling. The real stand out for me though was the fried feta- essentially an elevated mozzarella stick with just the right amount of tang and a little hint of sweetness from the red pepper. read more

Great place with good Greek food, friendly service and always a clean and casual ambiance!

We came across Freskos by way of a road trip enroute to Newport, RI. I will do almost anything for authentic and good Greek food, and Freskos totally fits the bill. First off, you walk in and look at the pictures on the wall and you feel like you're in Santorini. Than the food comes and you truly are in Greece again. From the horiatiki salad to the gyro and my gigante beans. But the real deal was while we were ordering I was watching coffee being made and yes, it was just like being back in Greece. Try the Grape Leafs, omg delish! The owner was there and he couldn't be any nicer! Forget road trip, I would (and will) get back in the car for Freskos!! Thank you for a time transport back to Greece while eating lunch. Yes, it's that good. read more

I'm so glad I found this place on Yelp and tried it. The restaurant was very clean and the staff was very friendly. I tried the gyro and made it a meal which included a side and drink. The sandwich was delicious and the fries were good as well. I have also tried the greek salad with gyro meat and was impressed with how much you got. I look forward to going back and trying something else. read more

Food is fresh, delicious and comparatively reasonably priced. The dining room has plenty of seating, pleasant and in the warmer months, outside is wonderful too. Prices are reasonable and staff is very friendly! read more

I made the 40 minute trek from Bristol to Hamden to check out this place. A friend of mine suggested Freskos to me possibly about two years ago! it took me some time to get down there but, boy was it worth it. When I was told that this was the best gyro that you could get around here, he was not lying. I was impressed with this place all around. Everything from Chris the guy who ran the place that gave me a few good suggestions along the way to the friendly patrons that were very kind and generous. I had a big helping of food... A lamb meat gyro, a salad and a side of tzatziki sauce with both chips (Chris's idea) and pita chips. The gyros were delicious and packed with meat. So good I decided to have a second one. The sauce was equipped with fresh ingredients and delicious house sauce and the tzatziki was flavorful but, not necessary to cover the gyro with. All in all I was pretty impressed with this place and I shall return! read more

Freskos - Hamden - This gyro & pita chips with tzatziki were not served to me this way because I yelled Opa in the restaurant and tried to break a dish - Greek Near Me - Hamden, Connecticut

Great delicious gyros. It can get a little slow later in the day. The service is always good and friendly.

Prices up - Quality down Apparently the economy has taken its toll here. The excellent salad and gyro of Freskos' first years are no more. Once nicely marinated and grilled shrimp are replaced by flavorless boiled knots. The outstanding feta slices now subbed by tiny cubes buried in the greens. The new pita has an odd sweet taste and is too soft to hold a sandwich. The greens are fresh, but sometimes very wet. I had these, plus the veggie rolls which were ok but at $8.50, very overpriced. Overall, my last two Fresko meals were expensive and disappointing. I miss the old Fresko's. read more

After I read an article on this restaurant, I had to try it. I wasn't disappointed! Bright, cheerful, clean and Covid responsible. I thoroughly enjoyed my e Horiatiki with grilled chicken. Perfectly dressed with Greek dressing and served with two lemon slices and grilled pita. All the ingredients tasted fresh. The small order was enough for two. I ordered their delicious walnut cake, dense, rich and again enough for two. I suspect the cake was someone's 's recipe. Finishing my delightful lunch with frothy, sweet Greek coffee. Yum! Reasonably priced, attentive, polite servers- a WIN read more

My go-to for Greek food! Their chicken souvlaki is always delicious and the Greek fries are always yummy too. I usually get takeout but the inside is cool too. read more

Freskos - Hamden - Chicken Souvlaki - Greek Near Me - Hamden, Connecticut

I LOVE Freskos!!! My job loves them for catering too! The doctors I work with love them too!! They're top notch in flavor, quality and quantity. They're my go to when I want something light and fresh. I go at least twice a month for lunch and sometimes even for dinner. Management is excellent, exceptional service. I went for lunch a couple weeks ago, they were taking a tad bit long and without me saying a peep, the owner himself gave me my food and a gift card, he made it right without hesitation or me even saying a word. I LOVE THAT!! I'm a huge fan and I'll forever support small business like this. read more

Very good Greek food here. I have had the gyros and chicken souvlaki and both are very good and reasonably portioned. I also tried the hummus last time and it is really good if you want to try some homemade hummus. It's a bit pricey but it's good. Very nice and friendly staff, tons of parking. read more

I did it!!! Resisted long enough to take a picture this time Oh darn!! It was so good again I inhaled in 30sec without one drip on myself AND forgot to take a pic again. Will really try to control myself next time This souvlaki was SOOOOO good I literally inhaled it before I remembered to take a picture. Oops. Perfect. Charred, perfectly seasoned & tender chicken. The most A M A Z E tzatziki sauce... EVER. Slivers of onion and tomato. Need. I. Say. More read more

There don't seem to be many Greek restaurants in New Haven /Hamden area but if you can get to this one you don't really need to. It's a walk up counter kind of place and currently taking Covid precautions. The restaurant was cute looking with a strong Greek music, Greek words, and menu that shows nice selection. The food is priced well and felt it was worth what we paid. They were also having a sale on Greek iced tea which was tasty. We found staff was friendly and helpful. We purchased gyro, Greek fries and souvlaki. The gyro and souvlaki were absolutely delicious easily filling us up. The Greek fries had great toppings but to be honest the fries were not a good match for the seasonings but this was really the only hiccup. Definitely worth 5 stars and will hopefully return read more

Freskos has updated their menu and now they have a few more vegetarian/vegan options. With all the fake meat options getting popular and replacing the actual vegetarian food options, it's very rare to get a good vegetarian burger now. This place now serves a Greek vegetarian burger that can be made vegan. It has become my favorite burger in town. They have also added Greek pizza (I am not a fan) and Green salad options. They always have 3-4 dessert options that taste delicious. read more

My go-to for fresh greek food. Taramosalata is just right - not too salty - an the staff is always nice. I would highly recommend!

One of the only Greek spots in the area which I'm glad it's so close to my work. Ever since I visited Greece I get cravings, and Freskos helps curb them. The location is on the corner with parking behind it. There are a few tables outside to enjoy in nicer weather, and nice spots inside too. Good spot for quick lunch. I've been here a few times and usually get the same thing. It's a small menu which is nice because you can figure out what you want pretty quickly. I ordered a side of pita to enjoy with a side of tzatziki. The pita got chewy which was a bummer. I recommend eating it right away or else this will happen. The 3 stars is mainly because every time I order the chicken souvlaki it's different. The last time I had a puny few bits of meat. For 8 bucks I was surprised it didn't come with a small salad or like 1 dolma it something. It was fine. But just fine. Service is always friendly and timely. Place is clean and convenient. I was debating over 3 or 4 stars because it's been pretty inconsistent. Just "meh". My first visit was a solid 4-5. But it's been falling flat. Still a great Greek food option in the area, so I'll be back for my cravings but with tad lower expectations and maybe a new order. read more
