Portions are huge. So come hungry, but expect leftovers! Food is very light on the stomach, and they did not skimp on the meat portions either. There is a small yet intimate dining area. Don't expect to be served quickly because this place is a small family restaurant, so if you're impatient, look somewhere else. The service was on the spot, and the server was sweet. She was attentive in the beginning and gave us our space when she knew we were busy grinding. Our favorite was the Tvrokafteri. Not too spicy! Just enough spice If you're sensitive to "heat" just stick to the hummus cause that was good too. Yum! read more

The service was great with a warm welcome by Mandy, and explanation of the specials. We had a eggplant dip- nice and smoky and a yerros ( gyros) of pork and a yerros platter. Definitely enough for take home for lunch. Can't wait to come back . read more

Meraki Grill - Yerros platter - pork! Yum - Greek Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I didn't realize this is the same place I reviewed over four years ago. It was in a different location at the time so I consider this a new review. They are still considering it to be their soft opening at this point and that's just due to staffing and some other limitations at the moment. I'm going to write this based on what they do have to offer right now. It's a cute little intimate setting with not a lot of space so big parties aren't going to work here. The waitress was very friendly and welcoming. The menu is limited. We started with the four dip appetizer. There is a Tzatziki, a spicy Tzatziki, hummus, and an eggplant dip. All of them were fantastic. We all ordered the lamb gyro wrap. We then got the dessert that I could not pronounce or understand it when she said it. It was basically a phyllo dough on bottom and top with a custard in the middle and honey on top. It was refreshing and pretty good. Overall, it was a great experience and I'll be looking forward to when they get a full menu and some additional help staffing wise. They don't have any alcohol at this point so obviously that would be a plus as well. They have room to grow, I hope they can! read more

I came from California to visit my best friend in Wasilla. On the way there from the airport in Anchorage she took me here. She said they had been closed since the pandemic started and that they opened again and she hadn't gone back yet. We went together and it was definitely memorable. The people were friendly and the food was so authentic with flavors I've never been so delighted to taste. We got 2 platters, one with pork and one with chicken skewers. We also got 2 lamb gyros which were INCREDIBLE! The meat on those is unrivaled. This is a must try spot in Anchorage and I plan to go again when I visit. read more

Delicious food, friendly staff. Service was not super fast, but the restaurant was very busy.

We eat at the Southside Grill pretty frequently and we noticed this new Greek restaurant had opened, hubs and I kept this new place in the back of our minds. Friday hubs wanted to try this new place but I knew they didn't serve wine, so we passed (long week, don't judge, lol). Anyways, Saturday I had to run to Mill and Feed for peanuts for the blue jays and I was hungry. Let the hubs know I was going to get takeout from "the new Greek place next to Southside Grill". He thought the idea was great, wow, the idea was more than great! So glad we tried this place. I got two kebabs (lamb/beef mix), feta fries and the dip sampler. The wait time was 25 minutes. No problem, I went home unloaded the peanuts and other things from Mill and Feed, talked to the neighbors for a minute then headed back to the restaurant. Food would still be about ten minutes, I sat at the chairs by the entrance waiting for my food and the owner brought me a glass of water I didn't realize I needed. A nice touch for a takeout order. While I was waiting I took a look at the other patrons. There were three separate parties and everyone was enjoying their meal. The lighting is bright and the dining area is pretty large. It had a good vibe. Got the food, brought it home and hubs and I devoured it! So f'ing delicious! We have another favorite gyro place and this may have changed our minds. Loved the fresh salad on the side and the dips were all really delicious. The food tasted fresh and earthy and vibrant. So happy this place is so close to home. We'll be back many times, for sure. read more

Wow! This place is absolutely amazing. The food is outstanding, the service is impeccable, and the ambiance fits the environment perfectly. This is a family run restaurant that puts love into every single item of food that they make. read more

Ok so I came here because everyone was raving about it. They were so absolutely correct in raving about Meraki. Such good food! The octopus was simply divine. Such a good find in south Anchorage. If you find yourself close by, pop in and grab a nice Hellenic meal. Outstanding! read more

Another great restaurant in an Anchorage strip mall! The food is amazing. We had the eggplant dip appetizer, served with fresh, warm pita bread. Then the "yeero" (alternate spelling of gyro?) sandwiches. These are huge, again served in fresh, warm pita bread. I had the chicken, which was prepared by rotisserie and was crispy and flavorful. My friend had the spicy pork, she loved it. The service was excellent, our server was attentive and pleasant. The ambiance is warm and friendly, also clean and comfortable. I'll be going back here! read more

The Greek salad was alright, needed to be cut into smaller pieces. Service was good, place was clean

What a great addition to the Eagle River food scene! The interior in here is very bright and very Spartan. It seems like most folks get takeout. Having said that, the service was very friendly! I got the lamb kebab platter. I opted for a salad instead of fries. The food was very delicious! I just wish the portions were a tad bit more generous. (Judging by other reviews though: either A) I'm a pig or B) I ordered the wrong thing? This doesn't seem to be a quibble others have, quite the opposite) I'll definitely be back when I'm in the ER hood! read more

Wow! My daughter and I went to Meraki Afrah for the first time and it was one of the best meals we've had in DECADES. No joke! Owner (Fredo/Freda?) was phenomenal. He did all the front room tasks himself, from taking orders, bringing food out, checking in, payment processing, even bussing the tables afterwards. Outgoing chap, super busy...but the meals were out of this world delicious. I opted for the spicy pork platter (I hesitated about the pork b/c usually it is loaded with fat but theirs had none at all) and my daughter got the wrap. The amount of food provided floored us. Everyone else took out what they couldn't finish. Do yourself a favor and come early or close the place down and chat with the owner. Fascinating fellow. Appreciates veterans. I would seriously volunteer in their kitchen just to learn how they deliver such exquisite flavors. Guarantee we will return...got a chuckle out of their spelling of Yurro, which he did on purpose b/c so many mispronounce Gyro... read more

First and foremost, I judge Greek restaurants on their Greek salad, and this place is definitely authentic! There is no romaine lettuce in true Greek salad. Having been to Greece before where I was introduced to the Greek salad, I am always disappointed when I see romaine in the description at restaurants - not here! I had driven by weeks ago and made a mental note to come back and give this place a try and was especially convinced once I reviewed their menu. This place is delicious and there truly isn't another restaurant like it in this town, surrounding towns, or probably even in the entire state of Alaska. I ordered the Chicken Yerro and upgraded to the feta fries because.... well, feta. I took a seat and noticed the delicious sounding special and will be back to try the spicy pork yerro! read more

Meraki Hellenic Grill is unlike any other dining establishment in Alaska. Let's start with the food. Or rather, the below photo depicting what we ordered our first time here. Just let it do the talking. Where else can you gorge yourself on this veritable mountain of food? Mind you, this was a single entree and my wife and I were sufficiently full despite our ravenous appetites. There's something to be said about the quality and freshness of the ingredients here. Most of their selections obviously center around grilled meat, and they do it well here. Just the smells permeating from the kitchen are enough to get you to wanna order everything off their menu. I was remiss not to order any of their appetizers, although my stomach capacity had already reached its limit. But I'll definitely be back for their dolmades along with their salads. Glancing over at another table during my visit, my eyes locked onto a beautiful arrangement of vegetables blessed by a sizeable brick of cheese. Now that's the kind of salad I'd wanna eat. read more

Meraki Grill - Lamb kebab platter. - Greek Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Omggggg this place is so good! I pass this place daily so I finally stopped in (two days in a row). The first time I came I got the pork yerro, it was huge and the flavor was so good, the meat has this great grill taste. The next day I got the platter #1and the eggplant dip both were so full of flavor the platter had so much food you can definitely share with someone. This could be dangerous as I'm just up the street from this place. read more

I hate writing this review. Perhaps my expectations were too high. I wanted to like this place. We ordered three lamb gyros to go. They came with a salad and salad dressing that was outstanding 5/5. Now we have to talk about the gyros. A pita with onions, tomatoes, a bland taziki sauce, and a sad elongated lamb burger thing with a disturbing texture 1/5. $45. I would only go back at gunpoint. read more

Tried this little place with a friend for lunch. The inside is a little small but looks very nice. I ordered the lamb kabob and it was delicious!!

Meraki Grill - Lamb Kabob and fries - Greek Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I discovered this new Greek restaurant and was completely amazed and satisfied. I'm Greek and the cooking and taste is AUTHENTIC. And the owners are very kind and friendly! We had a nice chat. A few days later, my mother died and I felt that having a real Greek dinner would comfort me. I placed an order and told them about my mother. The warmth I received was genuine. They threw in some baklava as a gift. I highly recommend this business! read more

Quick service and tasty food. Definitely worth trying. Great portions and unpretentious and satisfying. And...you can't go wrong with the basic Greek fare and the steak fries with feta. Good for times when you want to kickback and not have to dress up to grab a bite. Recommend. read more

So for starters I never eat anything in Eagle River... like ever. Unless it's McDonald's. Eagle River is really wack when it comes to food and it PAINS me to drive to Anchorage every damn time. Look no further man. This Greek shop is BOMB. Straight bomb. I ordered the pork gyro with calamari and fries. Man I was far from disappointed. The pork was so damn tender y'all. Flavorful and just juicy with each bite. Everything went so well together the fresh tomatoes the onions and the bread. A helluva serving of pork to. They are NOT stingy and you get your money worth. The calamari was perfect personally. It wasn't chewy like rubber it was very fresh. Fries were excellent with a garnish of parsley to top it off. The owners are super nice and *drumroll* they are Greek. They have a spit in the back with the lovely lamb and pork just soaking up all that flavor. My meal cost $25 though it may seem pricy it was worth it. This Greek food was on par with food I've had in NYC & Jersey. I'm so happy Eagle River finally has a restaurant worth going. Pce y'all. read more

Excellent service and delicious food in a pleasant setting. Excellent taste of Greece cuisine!

Meraki Hellenic Grill has been the first ever authentic Greek inspired restaurant I have been too. Their food was absolutely amazing! My father, brother and I all went in today cause we love trying new things and we were even more than satisfied with what was brought to us. The food tasted healthy and fresh, as if the veggies were just picked that morning. Their dressings on the salads were superb, and are even House made. Not only was the food to die for but the service was kind and welcoming. Making sure you always had a full glass of water and asking if the dishes were good. The restaurant is a bit small and doesn't accommodate much people but even so, the decor is remarkable. Very modern and clean cut. When you walk in you instantly take notice of the alive flowers they put in vases, showing a great sign the care and have the ability to clean up. Not only does the flowers shock me but the floors and all tables are washed clean so there isn't a single crumb left behind. I highly recommend going out of the way to eat here, it is superb! read more

A hidden gem in Eagle River. The menu is small, but manageable for this small place with few employees. Their Calamaraki beats out Piccolino's, with homemade tartar sauce. They have other appetizers such as fried feta, doulmathakia, and other Greek appetizers. Their entree salads (e.g.: Hellenic - marinated salad of fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, bell peppers, in an olive oil vinaigrette topped with imported feta and Greek oregano; Roka Parmezana - mixed greens with raisins, sun dried tomatoes, Granada Padana and balsamic vinaigrette), are huge, but the Hellenic and a traditional dinner salad are available as sides, heaping in a soup sized bowl. Their entrees (including entree salads) range between $13-$20, and are either "yerros" (giros) - Spit fired marinated chicken, or pork or lamb kabob - basically a lamb sausage that had been grilled on a stick; or platters, again, spit fired marinated chicken or pork, or lamb kabob, an a Hellenic mixed grill that includes all 3 meats.. You can see the fresh spits of chicken and pork in the back beyond the eating bar. The Yerros are huge, and have traditional char grilled marinated meat wrapped in a pita with onions, tomato, tzatziki, and a few steak fries, and are accompanied by a choice of steak fries or a house salad, that can be upgraded to an Hellenic salad or feta fries for $3. The platters are ENORMOUS, and unless you have a voracious appetite and a huge capacity for food, they should be shared. There is literally 3 times more meat on the platters than on the yerros, plus pita triangles and the same sides and upgrades. As I said before, the restaurant set up is small (my husband said that it reminds him of a European cafè) with 2 round high-tops that seat 4, and 2 low 2-tops and a bar that seats about 4 that faces into the kitchen. There is one server who is one of the owners. With only 3 people working, the service is fast, with spot on refills of water or other beverages (no alcohol at this time). A note about the Hellenic Salad: It was originally only available as an entree salad (huge), or a sub for fries or house salad, but there must have been enough requests for a smaller version can be ordered on it's own (not as a sub for fries) that they have added it as a side. Pros: Over the top value for the price paid (crazy amount of food for under $20) Fast service Delicious Take out Cons: Over the top value for the price paid (crazy amount of food for under $20) Can they sustain this and still be profitable? Small, with limited seating Will they lose business as it picks up due to lack of seating read more
