Most menu items are delicious, what you expect. Good service. Don't order the hummus and you will have a good experience. It was watery, strong on garlic but otherwise flavorless, as if chickpeas were dumped into a blender with garlic, quickly pulsed, then sprinkled with a touch of paprika. Really disappointing. read more

This spot may be a nice place but the cooks who are cooking the food are completely disregarding the health and safety codes put in place by the health department. The same person that took our order also prepared the food with no gloves or a mask. read more

I like this place, and we just got back from 2 weeks in Greece. So I'm driving down Fifth Avenue, and I see Greek Express. I keep meaning to try it, but never seem stop in. I'm hungry for something tasty, healthy and filling, and this fits the bill. Know what...?!? It was good. Tasty. Really solid. I'll go again, probably once a week since our office is nearby. Good stuff at fair prices. read more

It's a pretty good Greek restaurant. I love their beef and chicken kabobs. The seasoning for both was just right not too salty not to sweet. I would also recommend trying their spinach pie. I love the softness and flakiness of the the spinach pie's shell. The fries there is okay. read more

I've been coming here for years & i just realized that I must really enjoy spending money with people that act like their honestly pissed that you're buying something from them. In the world of choices, I choose NOT to spend another penny here! Way better food & the service is way better @ Spiro's! Later state fair reboot with attitude! read more

Greek Express is my favorite place to eat. I love Greek food but I don't think you need to to love it here! High quality flavor and ingredients for a good price. Love read more

Guys, it's no secret that I love Greek food but Greek fast food? Hmmm... When I saw them starting the remodel on this old KFC building, I was skeptical. Really skeptical. But when we tried them out 9/22/13, while they were still so new I had to create the business listing - just opened Wednesday, I was impressed. We showed up incredibly close to closing time but the staff was still very friendly. The food was prepared quickly and served to us at our table. John got the combo with a mini gyro and fries and I got the salad and mini gyro combo. They call them "mini" but they really aren't. Those pitas were stuffed full. While they were heavy on the dressing - which was okay but not preferred - they were also heavy on the meat and veggies so I thought it balanced out. His fries were crisp and hot and seasoned nicely. My salad was larger than anticipated and loaded up with all the best "Greek salad" fixings. We both left feeling rather full. While I see other reviewers have rated it lower because it isn't as great as the Greek restaurants they usually frequent, I fell that this place should really rate higher considering its actual category. Would you compare a Wendy's to a Red Robin? A Taco Bell to a sit-down Mexican restaurant? No, you really wouldn't. You expect the fast food place to be less delicious because you are getting your food quick and cheap. So, let's compare it to other establishments like it - fast food places. In terms of other fast food restaurants I've been to, this place is freaking fantastic. Staff is so much friendlier, food is so much better, design of the interior and the patio out front is so much nicer... no other fast food places compare. read more

See all

"Would you like some gyro meat added to your lettuce pita sammich???" Ahhh... This place is fast and maybe that's why it falls flat. I guess if you have no idea what Greek food is , then you might like this place .. a lot. Fortunately for Yelpers, I know Greek food too well for my own good. I grew up eating it. Greek express has the potential to be great however there is a great deal of lack of love, love that is hardly poured in the food. There is no reason whatsoever why the gyro meat comes out and served cold in the pita here and not at proper warm serving temperature. Unacceptable... and possibly unhealthy. There is inconsistency in how gyros are served. Often little meat too much lettuce.. They drizzle the pita with sauce . I love the sauce but come on... not to the point of a milk sandwich. I often say light sauce or sauce on the side. The entrees with rice and choice of meat are pretty bland especially the grilled chicken. They come very dry. Sauce won't help. For me it's 2 to 2.5 but I'll leave it at 3 since staff are pretty friendly. read more

Looking for awesome Greek food without getting out of your car?! This is the spot. Yep, they have a drive thru!! Which is awesome when you're wanting the convenience of fast food but the taste of something homemade. Their menu is easy to read and the food comes up fast considering the quality. I love getting the gyro and rice bowl, literally just gyro meat and rice (and I add the fry seasoning). Their tzatziki sauce is delish and their pitas are good, too. The inside of this place is cozy and a nice place for lunch. I definitely recommend this and after writing this, I'm totally craving it! read more

Greek Express - Greek Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

We eat at No 1 Gyro Shoppe all the time so very familiar with the food, which is very good. Tonight, we decided to stop at Greek Express, and will probably not go back. First, the prices are more. Asked for extra tzatziki sauce for the 2 gyros, and we were charged an extra $1. That's insane! Then using a credit card at the drive-thru, they make you sign. Sitting there waiting, it sounded like a daycare for teenagers. 4/26/18 gave another try and no better. Apparently no more combos because everything was charged separately. Still overpriced and bad service. No 1 Gyro Shoppe is still better read more

The food is great. I love the Greek salad, the dolmades, and the soups. Only thing is the last 2 times I went there they forgot the salad dressing!! A little thing considering how good it all tastes read more

Owners also own Acropolis (which has a drive-thru) and the other Greek Express in town. They did a nice job converting the former KFC location into something new. There are about 10 parking spaces so at peak hours I expect they'll get a lot of drive-thru business. The 6oz gyro and fries were enough for one person. Next time I'll go with the 3oz version. Fries were eaten immediately. Hot temperature with good spices. Ate the gyro about an hour after I ordered and was surprised it was still warm. read more

This is the fourth place I've been on my search for a spot on gyro in Columbus. Still going to be searching. Perhaps I'm picky though. :) There was a substantial Greek population where we just relocated from in Greensboro, NC so needless to say I've been spoiled. I checked out the menu and Yelp reviews before stopping on my way home from work. Looked solid for a straight forward gyro. I noticed this 'house sauce' listed as coming on the gyros. Of course I asked about it, it sounds like a house/ranch dressing. Who does that? Maybe it's a Midwest thing? I asked them to hold that but definitely put the tzatziki on it. Since it's meant to be on Greek gyros for sure. The gyro itself large, but I'd rather something be put together nicely rather than haphazardly. Everything was just tossed on there, it wasn't until the last third of the gyro that I encountered onion or a tomato. Half way in the tzatziki started. Lunch rush, totally not an excuse as I was the only customer inside or out. Also on a side note I nearly tossed their lemons out. Sitting on top of the tea in a disposable cup. Looked like trash to me. Nope, lemons. read more

We went through the drive-through and it was amazingly fast even though we were 5th in a line of cars. The food was delicious and big servings. In spite of them not taking off onions & tomatoes like I asked I was still happy with the quality of the items and how they tased. French fries were great! Highly recommend eating here. read more

I have driven past this place, and never bothered to stop. It took me ordering from their menu on Uber eats, to discover what I had been missing. I got the spinach pie, aka spanakopita, A cup of lentil soup, and a Cajun chicken gyro. Everything was absolutely delicious, flavorful, and on point. The lentil soup is some of the best I've ever had and will be a go to for me all fall and winter. The chicken gyro was exactly what you expect and want, tasty. I can't wait to try many of the other things on the menu, whether I stop by or order them. I definitely recommend trying this place out. read more

I am always on the hunt for a good gyro and Greek salad. I have found my place, both are absolutely amazing! Came here on the weekend, there were no customers besides my friend and I but there were some people going through the drive through. Inside is clean an cozy, a little outdated. Service was very quick and friendly. We ordered a gyro combo, a chicken Greek salad (got 2 dressings vinaigrette and garlic) and onion rings. Whoa! So fresh and so delicious. The gyro was so big and really delicious. Salad came with lots of chicken and very fresh veggies. It was so big I ate it in 2 sittings. Garlic dressing is absolutely amazing. Get it! Fries were fresh and good as were the onion rings. I am thrilled to find a Greek place that is so delicious and close to me. Some of the freshest food I have had in restaurant. It seemed like they picked the veggies that morning, literally. My belly was very happy. read more

Went to the drive through, the service was really fast. Ordered a Greek salad with chicken, the lettuce wasn't the freshest but it was a good size. It also came with pita which was delicious. The price was kind of high for what it was. I'd be curious to try a different entree. I'd give a 3.5 for an easy lunch. read more

Well-priced and delicious Greek food that I can get at a drive through window? Fantastic! The falafel wrap is amazing, and the service is fast. Strongly recommend. read more

Service was great, super nice employees. Food was great too. We had chicken gyros and fries. Will definitely be returning to try more stuff. They have a decent size menu read more

I had my 50th birthday party last night which was catered by Greek Express. I ordered the beef and chicken kabobs with rice and grilled veggies. They did an awesome job and everyone loved them! Tylor delivered and set up the food and made sure everything was in order. I highly recommend catering by Greek Express for your special event! read more

I Yelped places nearby since I needed to be at an event, and I was short on time. I ordered a falafel sandwich which was crispy and delicious. The ingredients were fresh, and the sauce was very garlicky! Yum! I ordered a combo that came with chicken soup and a drink. The chicken soup taste similar to chicken noodle soup but with orzo instead of noodles. The drive through was quick. I will return if I need a quick bite! read more

According to Yelp, 2 stars means "Meh. I've experienced better." This is exactly my experience. The gyros here are standard strip mall-style carved pieces/parts with lettuce, onions, takziki sauce and are just ok. Portions vary wildly, so you might want to ask for large if you're hungry. The falafel is just awful. They are frozen, machine made little hockey pucks, instead of fresh, hand-scooped balls, and mine were overcooked. The hummus I had added to the sandwich was pasty and dry. These made me afraid to try any of the other dishes. If you want fantastic fast Middle-Easter food, go to Pita Hut on North High near Graceland. The gyros and shawarma are whole layers of meat stacked on a spit (not meat loaf), the falafel, hummus, babagonoush, etc., are fresh every day, and they have a killer homemade green hot sauce. Nice family that runs it too. If you want a decent gyro closer to Grandview or UA, try The Gyro Shoppe on W. Henderson Road. They are over-stuffed and juicy. read more

Literally the best fries I've ever eaten, hands down. Great place to eat in, or use the drive through on the go. They have everything your average gyro shop would have, it just tastes better from here. Also, there is never really a wait. read more

Somehow I recently started coming here and I am so happy I did! I've only been through the drive thru, but every time the people working have been so wonderful! I mostly have gotten the spinach pie, chicken soup, and Greek chicken salad which are all really good. The spinach pie occasionally doesn't have enough filling but what it does have tastes great! The chicken soup isn't fancy but it tastes great especially on a sick day. The Greek salad is so tasty and always fresh. It's served with the house sauce/dressing which is seriously so amazing. The gyros are just ok, the toppings are usually pretty sloppy and the gyro meat was kind of dry, however, the chicken gyro was a home run! I'm so glad to have a healthy take-out option in Columbus and am even more thankful for the kind people working there! read more

I could have sworn I liked this place better. I hadn't been in a couple of years, so I stopped by recently for a quick lunch. I ordered chicken over rice and a side of fries. I gotta be honest: the chicken over rice tasted like bland hospital food. It was literally just some plain chicken breast and plain white rice. The chicken was barely seasoned and had no flavor. I thought I could use the Greek sauce to save the dish -- because usually the sauce can do wonders -- but even it didn't taste very good. It wasn't fresh or flavorful -- just kinda thick and blah. The good: It was fast and friendly. And the fries were hot. From the looks of the other reviews, Greek Express is a winner with some of their food. I wouldn't recommend their rice dishes. read more

BOOM: 5/5! Not gonna lie, most gyros taste pretty similar to me. Once they reach a certain quality there are marginal returns in taste. I'm giving Greek Express 5/5 stars because they are a well-oiled gyro making machine. Equipped with a Drive-Thru, a classy Fireplace inside if you want to sit down, DELICIOUS gyros, and some of the best seasoned French Fries I've ever had--always crispy and warm. Totally righteous. Costs about 6-8 bucks by the way. And all the workers are Super Friendly and helpful. I seriously love this place. I eat it way too much. Sometimes if I'm driving up Fifth Ave with no plans of going there, I am pulled in by its tractor-beam and hit the drive-thru. And I never regret it. Except that sometimes I pass out from a food coma within 30 minutes of eating it. Peace. read more

Not the my favourite taste of gyro in the area. I agree with Maurice in earlier reviews, there's wayyyyy too much sauce..."drenched" is a light word for how much in there. The gyro overall is just meh, ok, like a Big Mac from McD. There is much better gyro choice with better balanced meat, sauce and veggie within 10 min walk. Portion is decent versus price, and they have mini/ref/large size for gyros and can add sides to make it a meal. read more

Hey, this place did the trick! I don't know the last time I've been through a drive-thru so this was a refreshing return. I'd say the quality of the food is similar/the same as any run-of-the-mill local gyro shoppe or cart, but with the convenience of never having to leave your car. The prices were very reasonable for a falafel gyro and walnut baklava. Unfortunately, I found the baklava to be wayyy too "wet." It was soggy and soaked in honey - I prefer a lighter, dryer dessert myself. The gyro was tasty, really big, and had cucumber. Bonus! If I didn't live across from another great Greek place, I'd be back more often when I need a decent meal in a pinch. read more

I give this five stars, not because it is gourmet quality or authentic Greek cuisine but because it is fast, cheap, convenient, clean, and the food is of very good quality. It's your basic gyro shop but with a few special touches that elevate it, like calamari salad or two sizes of gyros. When they're not busy, the help is out cleaning and polishing. The pitas are assembled carefully with just the right amount of lettuce, tzatziki, etc. People here really have their eye on the ball. read more

Greek Express - C'mon! Look at this clean, well organized condiment bar. Someone here clearly cares. - Greek Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Heck ya gyros!!!! Tried out Greek Express for lunch today. It was not crowded when I arrived so I soaked up the menu. It was quite diverse with more offerings than I expected. I kept it simple and went with the super gyro and fries with a drink. I like how they have 3 different gyro sizes. My food too longer than expected to arrive, but when it did it was fresh and hot. The fries were a notch above most, the gyro was very tastey. I was very pleased and very full once I finished my food. Will definitely be coming back read more

Living nearby, I watched the renovation and was looking forward to a new addition to the Grandview area. I ordered a teriyaki chicken gyro for my husband and I had the falafel pita. My husband said the teriyaki chicken was just alright and my falafel pita had way too much dressing. I've also never seen flat falafales before. Interesting. Overall it was just ok... the inside was nice and the customer service was great, but the food was more aligned with a fast food experience. So, give it a shot if you're looking for a different type of fast food. read more

Please and THANK YOUUUUUU, welcome to the neighborhood. Could this have not been more needed?! And it isn't even something I knew I wanted. We ventured here during our hour lunch - and it was every ounce of yummy as I expected. I had checked out the menu prior to going just so I would be "ready." You know that girl who stares at the menu, when it essentially only offer the same 5 items? Yep - That. Girl. But damnit, I was prepared this time! The parking lot? A freaking disaster. There were no spots, so I assumed it was full inside. Nope, nada. A couple tables had people, but not enough to fill their whole parking lot (moderately sized by GV standards). My guess is it was mostly employees? I don't mean to be a drag... but spots are hard to come by in GV and if you're going to parked at your work all day, maybe just park on the street down near the alley? We had to and the extra 60sec walk was NOT that bad. Seeing a full lot is sometimes a deterrent for customers. But not us.... we were on a gyro mission! I had the mini and spinach pie - whew, I so full. The mini gyro is plenty enough by my standards. The boy had the two mini's and a side of fries. The fries weren't thaaattt bad and my spinach pie was okay, just very crusty - almost impossible to eat with a fork. Within the 30 minutes we were there, 3 people made mention that on the combo menu is says "Jumbo" but it's really a "Supreme" gyro. The lady just said it was a mistake, and it's a supreme... but if 3 people made mention, why not just fix the combo menu w/ the correct name? However, I welcome this gyro shop with open arms and will be visiting often for lunch dates! Gyro's were SO DELICIOUS! read more

Food is good. They have a menu with pictures which makes ordering for me easier. Food is prepared quickly. They have a rewards app that is tricky to use but they will help you but you have to ask. Haven't been there enough times to accumulate enough points to try the rewards program. I will keep at it though. read more

Greek Express - Plenty of parking - Greek Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

We ate in and had a Chicken Gyro and a Gyro salad. Both were excellent! The chicken was juicy and the salad tasted incredibly fresh. The staff was incredibly friendly and made our experience very enjoyable. read more

First visit and pleasantly surprised to find a very tasty gyro with feta. One of the better Greek eateries around town.

Was really excited to try this place and was mostly disappointed. Was it bad? No. Just simple. And bland. The chicken gyro had noooooo flavor. It was the plainest chicken I've ever ordered. Veggies and pita are OK. Side salad was fine - made from a giant bag of ice berg and a few veggies. Skip. read more

Not the best Gyro That I've had in the city of Columbus but it's pretty darn good definitely a Greek style restaurant the stuffed grape leaves are worth it as well read more

This is one of my go-to spots. The gyros are exactly what I want when I think about gyros. The combos are great and make ordering easy and are really good values. Service is quick and I like the condiment options for dine-in (I like to add extra seasoning to the fries and I really appreciate the ketchup cups instead of trying to open a bunch of packets). Can't go wrong here for gyros! read more

Greek Express is one of my go-to lunch spots. It's quick, delicious, and the combos are a great value. For just $6.99 I can get a mini chicken gyro (which really isn't all that 'mini'), a spinach feta pie and a drink, and I'm full. Most of the time I use the drive thru, but both indoor and outdoor seating areas are nice and always clean. I've never had a problem with service. read more

If you are ordering food from Uber eat this place just throws your food together, I had missing items, the Greek salad that I ordered was dry and missing dressing and my gyro had a long thin black hair mixed in with the chicken and lettuce. Disgusting and deplorable I would not recommend eating or ordering from this place at all. I would rate them a zero but they don't give you that option. read more
