I was doing the tourist thing up in Seattle (hey, we all do it sometimes) and we stopped by this place after visiting the Space Needle. We were hungry and just wanted something quick before we headed out. I was surprised to find that the food was REALLY good. I got the falafal pita with salad, and a piece of baklava for dessert. My brother got a gyro and fries, and SIL got some kind of chicken pita with fries. Being a vegetarian, I didn't try either of their sandwiches, but they both said they were good. I DID steal some fries though, and thought the seasoning was great. I was really impressed with the texture of my falafal pita. The pita was hot and soft, and the falafal was not too hard, and very tasty! The salad was salad - I thought my lettuce had a couple of less than fresh spots on it, but overall, I can't complain (but, it's hard to screw up a salad). My only complaint is I didn't really think it was that fast. I thought our food took a while to come out - at least, longer than I expected. Not terrible though. The waitress could have been a little friendlier, but she wasn't a total failure or anything. All in all - we were happy! read more

Happiness is succulent lamb chops and fresh pita bread. Greater happiness is that delicious Washington based ale served with the lamb chops and the pita bread. I had the best time dipping the pita bread into the fresh salad dressing they keep on every table. Grecian Corner doesn't compare to L.A.'s Papa Cristo's, but they rank very high on my yum list. read more

Grecian Corner - Lamb chops - Greek Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Grecian Corner is across the street from the Space Needle. The place is actually pretty classy inside. A great place for tourist, locals and fun for lunch dates. The menu is packed with sensational traditional Mediterranean fast foods (such as dolmades, avgolemono, gyros, assorted kebabs, vegetarian food, calamari, baklava, etc...) and some American favorites (like burgers and chicken tenders). There were plenty good offerings and I went with a gyro, fries & coke zero. They served waffle fries with a light seasoning. I'm thinking salt, garlic and thyme. There must be plentry stuff in the gyro too. Because it's super flavorful even with raw salad vegetables and thick yogurt added into the pita roll. A great mix of spices in everything that is just completely delicious. Nice, quick and friendly service. Highly recommended. Dine In or Take out. Spring and Summer Hours Monday to Friday 11am - 9pm, Saturday 11am - 7pm, Sunday 11am - 5pm Fall and Winter Hours Monday 11am - 5pm, Tuesday to Friday 11am - 9pm, Closed Sundays read more

Annoyed that I drove and walked by so many times when it was not time to eat. After an underwhelming TurkFest, we walked over from the Center and had a great lunch. Fresh vegetables, great dolmathes, succulent chicken and great dressing were the start. They shave the Gyro meat so it is presented the way it is supposed to be, unlike those gross thick bacon strip presentations at the lousy Gyro joints. The best surprise was the Kefta. So good, juicy and perfect. You have a new fan. read more

The Grecian Conner has a very good lunch menu. The gyros are pretty good and the check skewers plate is really good. Every meal comes with a salad or fries. The only thing they need to improve is more space. At lunch time it can get really crowded. read more

Grecian Corner is a pretty good takeout spot for lunch, especially if you're in the mood for quantity. Just be careful about what you get. Most of their menu, I think, isn't really a good value per dollar - everything feels just a little higher than my brain thinks it 'ought' to be. But the gyro with salad or fries? Deal for the money territory. Priced right and delivers in spades. First, you can't go wrong with the salad or fries. Pick either, they're both good and you get a lot. The gyros themselves? Adequate, I think. They're not bad, they're about 95% meat if that's your thing, but I'm just not feeling them as great gyros. And I love meaty gyros. Also not a huge fan of the falafel here. Still, with the generous portion size, friendly staff, and speedy take-out I've never been let down. Worth a look if you want some solid take-out gyros, and they've got a great location to sit down and eat if you want to stay a while, too. read more

Bad service, we got treated like dirt when we ordered. The waitress acted like we were an inconvieniece. We were told that everything had to be packaged to go and then she served all the pepple around us on plates. They were all out of salad at 4:00 in the afternoon. The gyros was cold and bland and It took over 20 mins to get made. Stay away, better food and service at nearby subway. They have a great location and know it and do not need to give good friendly service or serve good food, stay away. read more

Quiet, with great food and the best part, the price is really good! read more

Grecian Corner - Greek Near Me - Seattle, Washington

service was awesome -- super friendly and helpful. best greek food i've found in seattle and ive definitely been looking. prices are great; $12 for a sandwich is a STEAL in seattle so don't let others scare u away. 10/10 loved!! read more

Authentic Greek food that was fantastic! Try the Greek salad and gyros. We did not go away hungry!

First of all the location is PERFECT. It's so close to the space needle, chihuly garden and glass, and the emp museum (all great tourist attractions by the way). We ordered at the front, sat down outside because the view was marvelous, and waiting for our food in the comfortable atmosphere. Staff was super nice and engaged in conversation. They truly seem like the care about their customers. The food was INCREDIBLE. I tried the falafel pits and it was cooked perfectly. All pitas come with a side of fries or Greek salad, and both options are so tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who is near by visiting, and even to locals! read more

Delicious affordable gyros next to the Space Needle! A group of us will go out for Gyro Thursday at the Grecian Corner because they are the best around. We use to go to another place I won't mention off Blanchard, but turns out Grecian Corner has the freshest meat and fluffiest pita. read more

Amazing Greek food! So delicious. The food was perfect, the staff was great and it is right next to the Space Needle so it is a perfect pick me up when you are going to or coming from that area. Go there! read more

I only have wonderful things to say about this restaurant. I went two nights in a row: on the first night they were about to close and the owner Tina was kind enough to offer to make me something to go. I didn't feel rushed to make a selection at all. I loved it so much that I came back the second day for another to go order for myself and a friend. Loui and Tina were kind and friendly. The food is well portioned, tasty and affordable! I hadn't tried Baklava before and their's is delicious. I can't wait to try more menu items. Highly recommended!!! read more

Big one wanted Greek on our way to an event at Seattle Center. She really liked her Gyro and fries (I tried it, it was alright - I don't like fries in my Gyro). I really wanted soup and they had none (waitress was actually kinda rude about it). I ordered the hummus, tzatiki, pita plate. Hummus tasted liked Costco, tzatiki was way to garlickly (and I love garlic). Overall, disappointing for $20. read more

This was a nice little escape from the touristy attractions nearby. The staff are friendly, efficient, and it was the best Greek food that I've had since most of the spots back home, in Hawai'i, are dry and bland. read more

First time in Seattle. Amazing. Falafel pita: perfect made... If you like heat ask to make it spicy. Great taste. Right across from space needle... Bakalava: I have had them in Detroit, chicago, la, Houston and in San Fran... However the one they have here is by far the best... They syrup is home made by mother and son makes baklava... You have to try Baklava. If you vegetarian thn definitely Pita falafal is the way to go... Love it love it love it. read more

The food we had here was not horrible, but not yummy, either. The pita bread was definitely not homemade and the hummus pretty flavorless and salty. It's sustenance when hungry only. Totally overpriced - they wanted 2.00 for one piece of pita bread when they didn't serve enough with the hummus. We're on vacation in Seattle and this is the only place we were not impressed with. read more

Just went here today and I am not exaggerating when I say that I couldn't and still cannot stop thinking about that lamb gyro I had! Because of this, I just had to write a review! Seriously the most flavorful, tender, and perfectly sliced meat and perfect ratios all across on the gyro, especially their delicious sauce! Each bite was super consistent, which so many places I have gone to for gyros in the past have not been able to perfect. Also, I've never had such a wonderfully wrapped gyro either-- even with the plentiful portion nothing had a chance of falling out because of the masterful wrapping. I appreciate their attention to detail, from the way they cut their meat to the toasting of the pita bread. Additionally, service was nothing but wonderful. The person who rang us up was so sweet, patient, and got our food to us at a more than reasonable speed. It is easy to see that they are proud of what they serve! It's definitely a family run business, and this family puts their heart and skill into their food as it shines through in quality and taste. Worth every penny for their amazing gyros (honestly though, being a family run business with a location like theirs, rent must be intense so I don't mind paying a little more for quality and supporting their biz) and refreshing side salad with their wonderful vinaigrette! I am already craving another one of their amazing gyros so I will definitely be back soon all the way from Kitsap County! read more

This was my first stop for food in my recent trip to Washington State. I just came to see the USS Constellation (my dad's ship, back in the day) in Bremerton before it was chopped up into scrap, but my dad wanted to check out the city as well (and hey, why not?). After about twenty minutes in the Seattle Center we just wanted to sit down and get something to eat. We weren't worried about it being the best food in Seattle, or even particularly good. In fact, I assumed based on the surroundings that it would be pretty awful. In truth, it wasn't half bad. We both had a gyro and fries plate; the meat itself was cooked well, and the sandwich wasn't loaded up with filler ingredients. The pitas are just pulled out of a bag and warmed up, though, not made fresh. The waffle fries were filling, but needed salt. The service was pretty good. Tolerant of our shell-shockedness in our first experience of downtown Seattle, which was definitely something we needed. I wish I could give 3.5 stars. The food wasn't remarkable or even something I'd consider seeking out again if I were in the area, but it wasn't completely "meh" either. I think "A-OK" sums it up better than any of the other rating shorthand, so three stars it is. read more

Right across from the Space Needle, this unassuming Grecian Corner is located. My boyfriend and I walked in, ordered our lunch at the counter, and then waited briefly for our table to be cleared off. I ordered Spanakopita, which came with Greek salad. There were 2 medium-sized and deep-fried triangles of Spanakopita. They were both super crispy, filled with lots of spinach, feta, and spices. I was expecting a baked and square-shaped one, but theirs were pretty awesome as well. My boyfriend's got a regular gyro with a side salad. The gyro did not blow my socks off, but I did enjoy the flavour. If you are hungry and don't want to eat at the Armory, I believe this place is a nice alternative. read more

Food was good but was slow coming out. A bit on the expensive end as well. I'd been coming up on a 24 hr fast so about anything would have done. read more

Really delicious food, and good portion sizes. I love getting just the regular gyro when I have a hankering for greek food. It's a pretty nice location and is right near where my friend works, so it's a great place to meet for lunch. The seating area is quite cramped, but the decor is nice. read more

Grecian Corner - Gyro and Greek Salad - Greek Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We took the eggplant pita and it was very tasty, but you have to love feta cheese. Nevertheless, the waitress were not very friendly, she had a nonchalant behavior. read more

Had the gyro with the Greek salad. Gyro was really good but the Greek salad dressing was the best tasted in a while. Very busy at lunch but a great alternative to the Center House / Armory food offerings. read more

I love a place where after 1 visit they remember your name. I'm not saying that Loui and Tina will remember your name after your first visit, but they did me...could have something to do with the night my wife and I had dinner there and then talked to them for almost an hour after they closed up shop but I digress. Now I'm not a Greek food connoisseur by any stretch but I've had enough items over the years to know that most offerings are mediocre to passable at best and a smaller margin is just plain awful. Then there are those that you can qualify as good. Grecian Corner does not fit into any of these categories...their food is GREAT! My initial impression when I walked in was that it was going to be a 1 time visit and then probably never go back. I'm not usually a fan of 'in a plaza near the city's mega tourist attractions' kind of establishment, but my wife kept raving about it so I met her for dinner. She ordered the Lamb Chops with the Greek Salad and I ordered the Falafel Pita with Seasoned Fries. Being a fairly slow night, the food came out quickly and I immediately dove into the fries. KILLER!!! The fries: Waffle cut medallions of golden fried starchy goodness. Unseasoned these fries would kick ass, a solid 8. The special recipe Greek Seasoning just ramped them to 11. Man were they good. The Falafel: Hot (seriously, not just warm, hot as in you have to let it cool for a minute before you pick it up), soft, tender pita bread with just the right amount of golden-brown crispiness in parts to give a textural contrast. Inside were 3 large falafels; crispy shells on the outside, fluffy, steamy goodness on the inside. Slathered in the best Tzatziki (house made of course) this anglo boy has ever had. Just for good measure were some tomatoes and onions. Lamb Chops: In 1 word, tender. As you would expect from lamb...but these were cooked to perfection. Seared on the outside, juicy on the inside and seasoned with what seemed to be the same seasoning on the fries. The salad: Crisp Romaine. Tomatoes. Red Onion. Bell Pepper. Feta. Olive. Greek Seasoning. Oil and balsamic vinaigrette. 'Nuff said. It's the what you expect...only perfect. I could eat 3 servings of this easily. Baklava: I thought my wife was going to go into a coma from delirium. Her exact words were, "This is the best baklava ever. I've never tasted better baklava." Personally having never tasted bad baklava I'm not one to dispute her claim. Phyllo, honey and nuts. What's not to like? (unless you happen to be allergic to nuts...then you have my deepest sympathies) Ok...time to wrap this up. She took me there on a Thursday (2/7/08) for dinner and I was taking my coworkers there on Friday for lunch. They had the unfortunate first impression of coming in here on 'Barack-Obama-visits-Seattle' day and GC was PACKED! Then we went back the following Tuesday and Wednesday for lunch and things went smoothly. I just went back today to meet my wife for lunch. It's safe to say I like it. What else? The gyro is the most tender and succulent gyro meat I've ever had. The Spanakopita was magnificent. HUGE individually rolled portion, beautifully crispy and delightfully in it's simplicity. The bottom line...go there! Tell them Jason and Georgia sent you (and say HI! to them for us will ya?) read more

I use to frequent Grecian Corner often and must say the owners Louie & Tina, are the nicest people in the world. This place has the best gyros and baklawa. This place is really popular so you might have to wait in a long line during lunch rush but the food is totally worth it. read more

Using the Yelp monocle (in the Yelp app), we decided to give this place a try a couple weeks ago. The restaurant space was reasonable comfortable, but clearly intended for short meals. Service was good, with one lady waiting all the tables at the time we went. Food on the other hand was merely ok. The gyros looked like the gyro patties you buy frozen, and didn't pack much punch at all. All the sandwiches we had had fries in them, which I'm never really for or against. The fries on the side of the sandwiches were pretty good though. Our Greek salad, likewise, was nothing to write home about. In all, I think I will try somewhere else next time I'm there, but you could probably count on having a safe, reasonably tasty meal here. read more

--Star rating is always in comparison to other similarly priced establishments-- Odd little place. Being in the middle of the tourist action at the base of an office building I thought they'd know how to do some fast turn-around. This was _not_ the case. I got the souvlaki pita, my husband got the gyro pita. Both came with salad. The salad was a bit of nothing and the Good Seasons dressing (literally the Good Seasonings shake bottle) on the table did nothing to inspire confidence. I enjoyed my Souvlaki although the tzatziki didn't really add anything to the meal. My husband's gyros were just OK. I don't think he bothered to finish the whole thing although it was inoffensive. I will say this place was a clean, cool, quiet oasis from the press of people outside. The tables also afford some excellent people-watching through the ground-level windows. read more

Painfully slow!! Chefs and servers would rather chit chat than cook... Restaurant was empty, yet still took 30 min or so for a gyro..which technically is "fast food." We were here at 5:30pm on a Saturday. However, once the food actually arrived I was impressed! Good portions and incredible flavor! read more

Grecian Corner - 15-20 min of this - Greek Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Not impressed. Gyro was so so & dry. $1.50 for extra taziki to make it palpable. Service is sub par. They don't even give you a glass of water when you sit down unless you ask for it. Wouldn't recommend this place read more

First time trying this place out. I won't be going back. I ordered a gyro and feta fries. The "best part" of the meal was that they gave you a lot of fries but they were cold. My gyro was also cold, very dry with barely any tzatziki sauce. read more

Excellent variety to choose from and everything was prepared fresh. Great choice for a quick meal by the needle

Not bad for the price. Actually, their fries are really good. Their gyros are alright. If you want a quick lunch, you could do worse. read more

Good food. Wish they had Ranch and mayonnaise. I don't think I got double meat like I get paid for. Prices seem a little high but I guess that's what it is like for being next to the Seattle Space Needle read more

I hadn't been here in over a year, since I was pregnant, so it made me wonder if pregnancy made it yummier at the time or if it indeed was better a year ago. Service was the same as it always was, quiet and slightly unfriendly. The chicken souvlaki pita, which I've order before, was very disappointing. The texture of the chicken was rubbery and dry, almost like it was jerky. Can we say overmarrinated?! While I love tzatziki sauce there was too much on the pita, all you tasted was the marinade and tzatziki. As for the fries, which to my surprise were not the amazing waffle cut fries they used to give you, but now are crinkle cut fries that are so chunky they don't have an opportunity to crisp up like the waffle cuts did before, were also very disappointing! I've experienced better here before, but like I said it was a year ago and I'm not willing to have another subpar lunch just to see if this visit was a fluke. read more

Grecian corner is my favorite greek place I have found in Seattle. I'm pretty simple on my orders there (lamb gyro), but it's high quality and tasty. I'm not a huge fan of the fries in my gyro, but it's really not a turn off with the over all quality being so good. I normally get a side of fries anyways, and my girlfriend enjoys the same meal with a salad instead. Hours are sometimes funny, so make sure you check. I can't tell you how many times I'm near the needle and think to go get a gyro only to find they are closed. Definately worth giving them a go though. read more

I've had their falafel pita and their rack of lamb pita and both never disappoint. The people who run this place are always friendly and the place is clean/inviting. I wouldn't hesitate on stopping by for dinner or lunch as I have never been let down. read more

Grecian Corner - Rack of Lamb Pita - Greek Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Stumbled into this place on my way to Subway for a quick dinner. The service was fast and great. They were extremely friendly and went above what you would expect. It had a pretty cool atmosphere with some greek decor and artwork scattered throughout. I ordered the gyro and fry combo and while I'm no gyro expert, I really enjoyed it. It had a good amount of meat and the sauce wasn't overpowering. Overall a really good flavor. On top of the food and service, you get a pretty good up close view of the Needle. I will definitely be coming back here in the future. read more
