Greek Express was highly recommended by a Greek friend of my Mom's. I tell you what - it was absolutely fantastic! The Melitzana was unbelievably good, the Dolmades were good (but I make my own). I had a Gyro platter, my Mom had the Greek Express Mixed Grill. We both also got Greek salads included. The food was fresh, the portions are very large, and it has a personality all of its own. Note this isn't a "restaurant", there are four tables in a tiny space, but it looked like it's mostly take-out / delivery. We ate there because we were starved. The owner was wonderful - what a nice guy! Everyone was friendly, enthusiastic and charming. They treated us like family and were incredibly welcoming. We picked up take out menus, and will definitely be coming back. Very highly recommended! (Thanks to the Gabriels for the recommendation!) read more

What can I say other than oh my AWESOME gyro! Quick delivery and wonderful service! This gem is a must try

I love this place! It's quiet and the food never disappoints. So far nothing negative to say about my dine-in or takeout experience.

Greek Express is a quaint little restaurant on Riverdale Avenue that serves great Greek food at very reasonable prices. The restaurant itself is very small (but they are expanding next door), take-out/delivery is probably the best option. The Gyro is probably one of the best I have ever had. My one complaint is one of the workers will rudely correct you if you don't pronounce "gyro" correctly. read more

I love this place especially their desserts! Always end up getting more dessert. I recommend this place to anyone who visits riverdale. Can't go wrong with this place. read more

The best chicken gyro("chicken wrap") we moved and tried to find another Greek spot but keep coming back to them . Perfect amount of meat , veggies and sauce and always fresh . read more

I hate being a party pooper, but overall Greek express might be more of a 3.5 star. I rounded to 4 because service was great (you really feel the mom and pop hospitality) and everything was really fresh and home made (get the baklava!!!!). However, value for money wise and portions were not anything outstanding. I would definitely recommend getting their home made baklava. Amazing flaky layers with fresh pistachios and that sweet honey sauce. I loved that the entire pastry was NOT soaking in syrup like baklava in most other places, indicating how freshly homemade theirs was. read more

The place was cute and rather empty for lunch on a weekday. The decor was bright and welcoming. The service was great and super friendly. I ordered a spanakopita, chicken gyro sandwich, and falafel which I shared with a friend. The serving size was great very hearty but I was SO underwhelmed with taste. Everything was so bland and the falafel was so dry. The consistency of the spanakopita was great but there was NO flavor. Not what I was expecting at all to be honest. I probably wouldn't come back. read more

Great, intimate, and authentic Greek food. The owner and his son are exceptionally welcoming. Warm vibe, friendly service, and an all around amazing place! We just left there from our first experience and are now regulars. This place brings a sense of community to Riverdale Ave. A must visit! ! read more

Greek express is Greek owned and operated fresh true Greek food. Enjoy their appetizers, Sandwiches, Salads, Platters, and Desserts. I've always had a great experience here. Prices are reasonable and the food is exceptional. Greek Express is a great addition to Riverdale read more

One of the worst take out meals I have had in a long time. First, they messed up our order. My lamb pita platter was sent with the salad it was supposed to have. Second, the falafels and fries in my wife's platter were deep fried what must have been very old oil. She spent the next sick at home. Thus is one place I will never go back to. read more

First time ordering and highly recommend! Food was delicious and baklava melted in your mouth! read more

I'm a big fan of this place. Calling in your order is a good idea because you'll have to wait. This place is always busy. They have great souvlaki and gyros. Their fries are quite delicious too but that's not Greek :) I usually get their food for take out because it's a very small restaurant with only about 4 tables. read more

Fabulous family run authentic greek experience. Gran a bottle of wine across the street and have an amazing me for a reasonable price. The eggplant rocks! read more

This place is a cute little spot. The waiters are so sweet! I got the vegetarian mix platter and it was delicious! Reviews are correct the fries are so good. The tahini sauce was pure perfection. Highly recommend you stop by and try a little of everything. read more

Great local place with amazing food. Food is always fresh and prepared to orser. Gyros plate is always filling! Customer service is on the fence the old men in the restaurant are more attentive then the young females who work there! read more

I have eaten here plenty of times, the falafel were good. Today, I ordered take out and the falafel was hard and tasted like packaged. I will never go there again. If they didn't have fresh homemade falafel, why didn't the saw they didn't have them . Bye Greek Express. read more

The only reason I don't order from here every day is because my boyfriend isn't having it. (Lame) The food is always fresh and tasty, the prices are reasonable, and delivery is quick. What's better than that? I'm a big fan of the white bean salad, the zucchini fritters (it has a really long name that I forget), melitzana (eggplant and chickpea spread) and the vegetarian platter- a perfect taste of all of their best veggie options. My meat-eating man loves the pork souvlaki and gyro the most. (Mmmmm writing this review is making me hungry.) Oh, they're also super sweet. I'm always a sucker for good service. read more

Awww Greek Express is so cute! Every time I go I find something else (hanging out the wall, on a shelf, a painting detail) to point out. The place is a hole in the wall - only 4 tables, the owner's always there, a TV playing soccer all the time.... but its amazing authentic greek food. It reminds my boyfriend and I of the cafes in Santorini and Mykonos when we went to Greece 2 summers ago. The menu is surprisingly extensive, and the prices are reasonable/cheap. Everything is cooked to order, so it takes kind of a long time. Also, all of the items on the menu are in Greek, but most are translated to English. Everyone that works there knows everything about the menu anyway. The pita bread is hot, crusty, and plentiful... they don't stop bringing you more. I love it here, I'm smiling just typing this review! read more

Great Greek food. And very fast delivery. We order from this place all the time and have never had an issue. My wife loves the Falafel on Whole Wheat Pita and I really like the Gyro. The Chicken Souvlaki platter is perfect for our 3yo which leaves a lunch left-over for us! Their rice is delish. I look forward to their expansion so we can eat -in sometime soon! read more

I ordered food from Greek Express in a moment of weakness when I was missing the good eats from Christos Gyros. I disregarded the bad reviews and ordered hummus and falafel sandwich. The falafel was very mealy and with a bitter aftertaste. How do you mess up hummus? It's one of you're signature dishes if you're a Greek restaurant. The food also arrived waaaay too fast which is something I find suspicious. Overall, I would not order takeout again and would consider it an "I'm only eating this cause it was $30 and I'm starving" meal. read more

I liked this place until I saw my credit card bill. Lunch for 2 was $21.15. I was charged exactly double: $42.30. By the way, it was my first time there. I am still waiting for my refund. Moral of the story: Keep your receipts!! read more

I was really impressed with the service. If you want to experience true Greek hospitality, you should definitely stop by. The food was a mixed bag. The feta cheese was simply amazing; very well seasoned with a pinch of olive oil. However the chicken and rice was a little bland. So were the sauces that came with the order. Great place to grab a salad topped with feta! Also if you're coming during winter like we did - wear a sweater. This Greek spot likes a cold dining room! read more

I think this place is a great small Greek restaurant. It is not huge (maybe about 15 tables) but it has a good selection, great flavor, and offers take out. We brought my mother in law (who is Greek I might add) down to Riverdale to check out the neighborhood and we figured this was or best option for lunch. We had lemon chicken soup, zucchini fritters, spinach pie, gyro, and Greek chicken. Everyone was super happy with their meal (including my mother in law, which should be a testament all on its own.) I found the food nice and light (not to oily) and with a great balance of flavors. I will say that we only got the Greek dishes. The owners are from a Greek island and so clearly their wheelhouse is Greek island cuisine. In general, I was very happy with the meal and the prices so I will be back. It's not the best Greek restaurant I have been to, but I think this is a really great option on the north side of town when you don't want to go all way to Astoria. read more

Just a great food experience and a wonderful hole-in-the-wall experience. The entire store is run by a mom-pop duo and all of their food is served fresh, delicious and full of love and flavors. For my skeptical viewers, I am biased towards family joints, but this restaurant embodies everything that is great about a true family run dinner joint. The initial hummus platter was incredibly unique with garlic hummus, roe hummus (which was certainly tasty, although a hit or miss for some), regular (for lack of a better description) and with peppers. We also shared a meat assortment dish with some of the juiciest chicken kebobs, lamb-beef gyros and beef patties (forgot the official term). The shrimp gyro was mildly forgettable, unfortunately, but the moussaka was amazing! I normally do not like baklava, but after trying my first fresh, non soggy honey goodness, I can see why people go nuts for these dessert items. The baklava was warm, felt like it came straight out of the oven and extremely crunchy and delicious. My sweet tooth almost fell out after eating such an amazing dessert. Overall, this place will definitely satisfy that hunger for authentic Greek food and your wallet will love you! Food: 5 stars Service: 4 stars Price: 4 stars Ambiance: 3 stars read more

Have now ordered from Greek Express three times and have not been disappointed yet! The food is consistently delicious, and everyone I've spoken to (over phone) and deliveryman have been extremely nice and go out of their way to accommodate (I needed a receipt and the deliveryman offered to go back to the restaurant and get one.. nice!). I walked by today and snapped a picture so everyone can see what it looks like- make sure you don't pass it by! read more

Good spot for Greek food! Owner was very polite and visited our table. Friendly staff and good customer service.

My Bf passed by this place many times and we decided to go Sunday! We were greeted by John very nice waiter and the place is adorable... I loved the decor. The food was very good and of course the cookies! We no longer have to go to Queens for Greek Food! I only wish the place were a tad bigger for bigger parties.. OPA! read more

Delicious. Coming from Astoria it's tough to compete but quality food. One stat loss due to slow service, but will be back. read more

Just had a chicken souvlaki sandwich. It was delicious. Very delicious. The guy behind the counter seemed really helpful with people in the phone. read more

I'm really ashamed to call these Greek I don't know how to start from the Gyro? In Greece this gyro we feed the dogs the pita ta bread a mushy horribe taste like row bread why you still in business my friend sad!!!!! read more

Meh, average Greek place, mostly for take out it's so small inside there is not much place to actually dine in. They serve decent chicken gyros but other things we have tried are not worth it and I don't recommend it - an example is the Greek salad with cucumbers and tomatoes and lettuce. Actually was tasteless and overpriced. Their calamari are ok. French fries are also ok. If you're going to get something get the gyros and stick with that. Person answering the phone for orders seems a bit lost so I'd make sure I check my order on the phone with her by repeating back as well as when I pick it up. I do like however how well they packaged the food when we ordered take out, which can be hard to do (often you just get a container with the food all over the place). Lastly, I've had better tzaziki sauce. read more

I tried feta cheese and pork souvlaki and they were both great. Souvlaki might be more expensive than in Greece but it's still really good value for money. read more

I loved this place! I found it through yelp while looking for a place to go with my family. The owner, servers and rest of the staff were very courteous and friendly. They were beyond respectful and so so sweet to my grandmother: making her laugh and giving her special attention. They were very generous in helping us in to make special seating arrangements for her. The server and rest of the staff were attentive, and we never felt rushed. The food was also very good! I got the chicken skewers. My sister had a gyro, which was delicious. Other members of my family had a salad and the falafel wrap. All of it, including the deserts, were perfectly made! read more

First of all I just want to say that as soon as you walk in you actually feel like your in Greece. Second of all it's the cutest place very clean has a warm home style feeling. I was greeted by and older gentlemen who advised me to have a seat while I ordered to take out after ordering I felt like having a coffee it was made for me right away !!! The food amazing enough said read more

I have been going to Greek Express since they opened and love the food! I have gone for lunch with friends and have also ordered take-out and everyone enjoys the meal. I am happy that they are in the neighborhood. read more

Everything was fresh and tasty. Feels like a little place in Greece with beautiful blue and white decor. The owner brought us extra fresh hot pita bread so we can fifnish all the dishes and we certainly did! This place is casual though food is as authentic as top notch Greek restaurants I went elsewhere. Such a treasure in this neighborhood!!! read more

Very disorganized. They get your order wrong, promise to correct it and then fail at that too.

Delicious calamari, gyro is amazing and the vegetarian mix is so special. The zucchini cakes were so minty and delicious The French fries are the best in the neighborhood. If u like bartered fries you will love these. Their fried halloumi is life changing. I've been there before but this time was better. Such a memorable meal read more

My husband and I fell in love with this place, and decided to move to Riverdale based on our first experience here. The Greek owner, Manos, is wonderful. He really puts himself into this retirement passion project. We're considering asking him to be our child's surrogate grandfather... mostly kidding ‍ The gyro plate, lemon chicken soup, and Greek salad are outstanding. You can tell it's quality, authentic Greek food. End your meal with some of the baklava and little cookies and some Greek coffee. read more
