I used to work right next door to this restaurant, and I'm not a big fan of Greek food. The owner always invited me over to have food for lunch, always offered me free salads to take home for my family and friends to try. This place was great. Very unique for how small it is and the staff is really what made me love it. My wife is always asking me to go get a Greek salad from here now! read more

Great Greek food and wonderful atmosphere. Definitely must check it out if you are craving quality Greek food

We enjoyed dinner at this great restaurant twice in the last week. It is a friendly family run Greek restaurant. The food is authentic and delicious making this well worth the visit. We had the Mythology Greek beer and the house wine to complement the food. For the sweet tooth, try the baklava cheesecake, mmmmmmm! Don't forget to print the coupon from the website. read more

Visiting from Seattle during Spring Break, being first generation Greek I always look for authentic Greek food when visiting different cities. Not only was Greektown authentic, but it has such a wonderful ambiance, mainly due to the genuine and charismatic owner George. He made a run of the mill lunch truly memorable. We ordered too much food but didn't regret any of it. George recommended the calamari, said it was the best in town and I'm sure he is right. And Opa! Cheese Saganaki, the kids were hooting and hollering over the fire and our picky three-year old ate half the dish. The lamb gyro was tasty, Greek salad had tangy dressing and a nice change of pace from a French fries side. But you can't stop here, the baklava covered cheesecake, the best! Not a bite left with constant "more more more" from the kids. Topped off with an ouzo shot (thanks George) made the meal complete. Doesn't get much better than this. Thank you George (and his chef wife) for making our day. We will see you next Spring Break! read more

Excellent restaurant, great food and excellent service! Waiters were pleasant to talk to and the food was amazing, especially the lentil soup and chicken i was served. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who lives in the Phoenix area or is traveling to Phoenix for a trip. read more

We got off to a slow start. George seemed to be a bit distracted, and did not provide much information. Basically, if you want soup, you get the soup of the day and that's it. The soup we had was lentil. Frankly, it was just OK. It had rice instead of potatoes, which was a huge disappointment. But that was the last disappointment I had. Even though we came for lunch, I ordered off the dinner menu. This was my birthday lunch, and I wanted lamb. I got the lamp chops. I was somewhat disappointed that there were only four lamb chops. By the time I finished, I was really disappointed that there were only four. Those were some of the best lamb chops I had ever had in my life. Maybe it was a good thing that there were only four, Had there been more, I probably would've eaten them. That would've been a disaster. As it was, I had a room for dessert. George talked us into the cheesecake with baklava on top of it. Oh my. That was so wonderfully delicious. Basically, I have my new go to place for special events. The lamb was not cheap, But for a super treat, this is certainly the place to go. By the way, my spouse had the gyro salad and was well pleased. read more

This place has been around for a long time and I've been eating here since the 90s. It's a diamond in the rough, the building and neighborhood don't do the food justice. It's a family restaurant that's been handed down, and I have never been in there and not seen the owner. He cares about his customers and his food, and he's fun to chat with. They have a great selection of wines and beers, and there are always lots of specials. This is a great place to take a date (or the wife for date night). The atmosphere inside is intimate and welcoming. If you ask the waiter or owner what's good tonight, you get an honest answer, and I like that. I often go with their recommendations. Now, this may not sound good at first... but they have a desert called a Baklava Cheesecake. It's cheesecake with baklava on top. You'd think that would be too sweet, but it's not and it's great, one of my favorite deserts anywhere. If you're looking for upscale Mediterranean dining in a friendly and intimate atmosphere, you can't go wrong with this place. read more

The spaghetti is the best but just about everything I'v had is exceptional authentic Greek food

We decided we wanted something new. So, I of course turned to Yelp to help us. After reading some of the reviews, we decided upon Greektown. When we pulled into the parking lot there was only one car...I wasn't sure if that was a good sign or not. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted by the owner and were told that we could sit anywhere we'd like. We chose one of the booths, it was nice and cozy and private. There were several specials written up on the wall, but they were all meaty, so I took to the menu. On this particular night, I was hankering for some cheese...don't judge me. My lady was looking at the Spanikopita (baked phyllo dough stuffed with spinach and feta) and I wanted to get the Tiropita (baked phyllo dough stuffed with feta), as we were trying to decide which one to get, our server (the owner) offered to do half and half for us. Sweet!! As we were waiting for the appetizer, he brought us out some fresh pita and tasty garlic bread. When the app came out, it was piping hot and oh so good! Came with a side of Tzatziki for dipping, but I just ate mine plain. For entrees, I ordered the pasta with veggies (tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, red onion) which came with a choice of their tomato sauce or the lemony garlic. I opted for the lemony garlic. Our entrees came with little Greek salads, which came out with the meals. I liked my dish...although I did have to order a side of lemon wedges cause I love things extra tart. I can't remember exactly what my girl ordered, but I know there was rice and potatoes and tomato sauce, and she ate almost all of it. The salad was only so so...it had creamy dressing and I wanted a little more punch from it...perhaps a little acid in there to kick it up a bit. The portions were very generous and we both needed a take out container. Don't think we stopped there, though! We ordered the house-made chocolate mousse. It was DAMN delicious! We ate every last spoonful. The owner was a very nice and helpful guy, not too much and not too little. As I said before, the portions are large and the prices are not. Check it out, you'll be glad you did. read more

So this is one of those times when I don't know if I should rate this 3 or 4. The food here is still absolutley, melt in your mouth REAL Greek food. The spicy lamb and chicken breast stuffed with spinach and feta combo was outstanding. Accompanied with the red Greek wine, egg lemon soup, Greek salad, hot garlic toast AND hot pita bread. Amazing. And affordable. But here's the rub. The owner, George, didn't remember us. That was fine. But, he was the only server tonight and was totally distracted, all business, not his old friendly, chatty self that always added to the charm of this gem. We tried to engage him in conversation but he wanted no part of it. He wasn't busy. There was only one other table occupied in the whole place. But maybe that was the problem. We don't understand why this place isn't packed all the time. You couldn't ask for more authentic, delectable food and great prices. Maybe it's the location, maybe it's his attitude. But it's definitely not the food. read more

This was my first visit to Greektown. I am not from the area, and my coworker and I decided to give it a try. We were certainly not disappointed. The calamari was excellent. We also tried the Mediterranean Greek Salad and had a trio dish that was phenomenal. My favorite part of the meal was the baklava cheesecake. It was absolutely excellent and plenty for two people to share. If I'm ever back in the area, I will visit again! read more

My wife and I came for lunch today. We arrived about 1:00 because with so many great reviews and so many reviewers, I thought it might even still be full. We arrived and the place was deserted....just us two. The waiter asked how many although he could plainly see how many and took us to a table where he threw the menus down on the table and left. His attitude never got better and he reminded me of an escapee from some low class gut bomb restaurant. He took our order. My wife had calamares and I had dolomares. I must say that both (we sampled from each other) were excellent. Portions were a bit small. The salad was just iceberg lettuce with a small bit of feta sprinkled on it. No tomatoes or any of the things you'd expect on a green salad. As I said the dolomares and calamares were very good. No complains there. The waiter was as personable as a rattlesnake and when we finished our meal he took all the silver and splashed it down on the plate in front of us and then took the dishes and left. The food was good. The service was bad in negative numbers. I think I know why no one else was there. I know we won't be back. Thats a shame because the food was really quite good. read more

The food is amazing! You can't find better Greek food in Phoenix. I will definitely be back for more Greek food and music

Not sure if Friday nights are usually as crowded as this particular night, but we ended up waiting 35 minutes for them to set a table up for a party of 9, when we were told that it would be "about 10-15 minutes". The food was average. For Greek food, we usually go to Crazy Jim's on 15th Ave and Indian School, which is awesome, but doesn't have much room for large parties. The owner (I think) was very friendly and worked very hard, but we could not get over the mediocrity of the food. The two stars that I'm giving it are for the following; 1) cheesecake baklava (OUTSTANDING!!!) and 2) the friendly man who served us. Other than that, we won't be returning. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. The white chocolate baklava cheese cake was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to go back!! read more

Such a fun time! The service was amazing and friendly! The restaurant is family owned and has amazing food and so worth the price! Has a great atmosphere. I was shocked that such a great restaurant, fun, sit down restaurant was in the Sunnyslope area of Phoenix. I will definitely visit again! read more

First off, long wait for a table even though there were many empty. They said they had reservations for them but they were never filled the whole time we were there. Atmosphere what fun though, and George had a great personality. They get the whole restaurant(not a huge dining room, very intimate) involved when yelling opa or singing happy birthday. The food is, well some was good, some was bad. The dolmas were amazing, and spanakopita was baked nicely and tasty. The gyro meat was quite flavorful but the onions they put on it was chopped horrible and fell right out. The mousaka and pasteesto were very overcooked and just mush, no texture at all. The vegetables were unseasoned and overcooked as well. Received the snapper in clam sauce and although the flavor was spot on, my dish was microwaved, or as it seemed. The fish had great flavor but again was mush, and came out so hot that you know it didn't come out of a Sauté pan. Our tab was eighty dollars without any alcohol and the dishes were subpar. For that price I expected properly cooked food, on clean plates. Not microwaved fish and dirty rims. I would like to say I would come back and give another try, but we drove out to this side of town just to try it and can't envision myself doing that again. Maybe if I'm in the area. Great service, cute restaurant, disappointing entrees with a hefty price tag. read more

Great service from the owner George who was personable and friendly! We ordered carry out and we had the appetizers dolmades, mushrooms tasoula and a classic gyro....the dolmades were tender and the lemon sauce delicious! The mushrooms also were so flavorful and we loved the garlic sauce...finger licking good! The gyro was tender and very flavorful and the tsatziki sauce was perfect! Great to have found a new neighborhood restaurant with great food as well as great service....Thanks Vassiliou family! read more

This place was just like described. I can say that the owner could be offensive to you if you chose to take him that way. He's very outspoken and enthusiastic. I liked him, but I can see that some people wouldn't. Anyway, the only reason why I didn't give 5 stars is because when we first walked in we just stood there. No one greeted us, a waitress walked by, made eye contact with me and didn't say anything. She could've at least acknowledged that I was standing there and said someone would be right with us. Anyway, we finally got seated and ordered. We had the calamari appetizer. I hate seafood, but this was really good. It was fresh calamari sauteed in garlic, lemon, and olive oil. Very fresh tasting and didn't taste fishy at all. It came with a side of homemade marinara sauce. The sauce was AMAZING. I will be going back to try the pasta since the sauce was THAT great. We then ordered two classic gyros (only $7 each). I've never had one before, so this was interesting. It was huge, lots of lamb meat, perfectly cooked. It wasn't greasy or anything like others have said gyros can be. It came with a big side of greek salad. Didn't care for the sauce that came with the gyro, so I asked for more of the delicious marinara and dipped my gyro in that. Overall nice dining experience. Place was very clean and decorated with greek things and played greek music. I will definitely be going back. read more

Had to a long wait for our table & service is a bit slow but we weren't in a hurry. Once they seat you & take your order the service flows nicely. This is a family restaurant and they are all very friendly- as if to welcome us in their home and share their culture with us. Price and portion of food are reasonable. The kids loved it. We tried the Saganaki Flambeau, which is a great way to start off. They have you say "opa" before you can eat it & the while restaurant will say it with you. One kiddo had the Tortillini with meat sauce & the other a Charbroiled Chicken Ceasar's Salad. My husband had a cheese lasagna and I had the chicken gyro. All of it very delicious. They only have 3 desserts but I love baclava so the desert menu hit high marks. They only have Lager beer, which I'm more of the Ale or mild beers but boy was their beer refresh in and smooth - I forgot the name of it (it starts with an "A"). They also have a house wine for $4 a glass. George made the kids a blue sprite drink he calls, Windex. This was my first time eating here but definitely not the last. We found this place when watching "Check Please" which is great to watch - it gives you ideas of yummy places to eat, all over Arizona. It's also a great way to support the local, small, family owned businesses. We watch it religiously & visit the places they air on their show. Whoever picked this restaurant did a great job. read more

My first time at Greek Town and I was made to feel at home and welcome. George is jovial and offered us suggestions. I had the Pasteetso and found it very tasty. I also had some Saganaki Flambeau appetizer and enjoyed it very much. Don't be put off by the outside appearance of the building, since it is not flashy. But instead stop and come inside for a great eating experience. read more

**Closed for vacation 6/26/17 to 7/21/17** Really loved this place when we ate here last year during our volleyball tournament. So sad that they're closed but will definitely visit again the next time we're in town! You will love the delicious, authentic Greek food, the adorable "Windex" drinks for the kids, and George's funny, endearing banter! read more

We used to live just up the street and pop in here whenever we had the craving for authentic and excellent home cooked Greek dishes. George, the owner, always is quick witted and makes your dining experience unforgettable! Tonight I had the special, snapper with clam sauce, my wife had the mix trio, and George made my daughter a pita with chicken and cheese. Before our meal we chose to start out with dolmathes, spanakopita, and saganaki....all were incredible and NOTHING was left to waste! We were eating as if it were our last meal and that's just a testament to the incredible experience your mouth will delight in during your time spent here. We were excited to try their version of baklava, George describes it as baklava on crack, and it is! It was delicious! We took a couple of sample bites and had to take it home for later and as we went to take our leave we said our goodbyes to George and his son Dimitri as though we were saying farewell to family. Thanks for everything it was another unforgettable dining experience! read more

Great food and great service, the owner George talks to everybody and very friendly. I go for lunch since it is close to work and very convenient. Love the moussaka there but everything I have ate there has been great. Will be returning again and again and hoping to check it out for dinner soon. read more

This restaurant is 100x better than any restaurant in GreekTown Chicago!! Highly recommend you eat here. Authentic and Delicious!

I have been to Greektown about five or six times now and will continue to go back for their consistently delicious, satisfying food. I've also had the experience of ordering food for take-out which has always been fresh and ready quickly. As far as I can tell, as an American who has never been to Greece, it is authentic Greek cuisine. The owners are friendly and welcoming and appear to take pride in what they do. I continuously order the gyro because it is so tasty, filling, and comes with a yummy little salad. I have gone with several different people, some very picky, who have all loved it there-- from the food and the service to the charming paintings on the walls. I have also had the delicious calamari which far exceeds the quality found at most restaurants as it is not thickly battered and deep fried to the point where you're not even sure it's calamari at all. Also incredible is the baklava (and I never enjoyed baklava before). I had it once with cheesecake and it was incredible and took me a couple of days to eat at home because it was rich and filling. Do yourself a favor and try this place. I am about 99% sure you will be supporting a family rather than a chain and you will get to taste some amazing food which, again, I'm about 99% sure is authentic. read more

we got two classic gyros (one with fries; one with side salad). george (owner) was so friendly and helpful. he recommended we cap off our meal with baklava on top of a cheesecake with whipped cream -- all homemade. man, it did not disappoint. we were sufficiently fat and happy from the gyros, and then found ourselves fighting over the last bites of the dessert. (i won.) no better way to finish a meal if you ask me. read more

We have been going to Greektown for over 30 years and have eaten Greek food all over the world and this is the best we have ever had. The dolmades are amazing. Gyros are incredible and the gyro salad is a favorite. No matter what you order you will be happy. Quality is wonderful and quantity is generous. read more

we love George and his willingness to mix and match and create new things. The lamb is always good and the Chicken George is great. The Lemon Chicken soup is the best. It was my partners birthday and George gave us a fantastic baklava Cheesecake for dessert. read more

I went to this place when I lived in Phoenix in the 80's and I went back on a recent visit. Great food and George is so accommodating. I will always eat here when I am in Phoenix. read more

We love this restaurant. Live close by and go there 1-2 times a week. Try the Dolmades. So good! Friendly, family owned business. Great food, great service. Good value for the price. We've never had a bad meal there. read more

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! The gyro meat is the best I have ever tasted and quiet frankly I can't eat it any where else, the tziki sauce is amazing. Love the warm pita and eggplant dip, as well as the dolmades and spanikopites!!! And don't forget the baklava! And only a boost the the delicious food is the service, particularly the owner who I often see other places around town. He is just a really good, sincerely nice person :) read more

Entree came as appetizer. And appetizer as entree. Tablecloth was dirty when I sat at table. Chairs are extremely uncomfortable. Staff never came to check on me. I'll pass next time read more

This has become a regular lunch spot. What a discovery, the kind of place you might just drive by, because it does not have a flashy exterior, but you would be missing out! Great food, personal and personable service and good prices. I definitely recommend it. read more

Good place, very nice family running the restaurant. They will talk to you and are super friendly. The food, not my favorite. We had a few dishes in a group of five and we all thought the food was just ok, nothing special worth going out of your way for. read more

Had an excellent salad here for lunch - the Mediterranean Greek. It was pretty big, and with chicken on top was only $10. It came with a nice warm pita, side of tzatiki and dressing. They gave me extra tzatiki at no-cost. It's a family-owned place and I enjoyed meeting the owner (who worked behind the bar). read more
