I love love love this restaurant and the people who own it! I remember when they started Meraki in Eagle River (which quickly became my family's daily destination) then the pandemic hit. Man I was so sad when they had to close their doors. After they had to shut their doors they pivoted and did door dash. Then they were sharing a restaurant with wing n things on boniface (which was weird and I'm sure it sucked to do it with those crazy ppl lol) But now they have a reopened their own restaurant on the south side! (Which sucks because its soooo far from me) But to watch this family, get back up, again, and again. All due to their integrity and commitment to make quality Greek food here in Alaska! Amazing place, and the Phoenix is best choice for your logo! read more

I would give this place more than five stars if possible! I'm an absolute fiend for middle eastern and Mediterranean food. I grew up on gyros and when I travel, I often gravitate toward that style of cuisine. So when I say this is THE BEST chicken souvlaki I've ever had, I don't say it lightly. The chicken is extraordinarily tender and so well seasoned. The tzatziki is delicious. The sumac onion and lemon wedge are just the cherry on top. My personal preference would've been for a salad instead of fries for the platter ($26), but I also didn't ask for it, so that's on me. Dad had the spicy pork yerro ($19), and said it was "awesome." A combination of flavors you don't get often, and tasty to boot. We polished off the meal with the largest piece of baklava I've ever seen ($15). It sits in an orange blossom honey and is just as tasty as it looks. Dessert is definitely on the pricy side - we could've gotten outta there pretty reasonably without it. I'll be back to try more of the menu. Their dips look incredible and the halloumi yerro is on my must-have list. Service was decent but depended on the dining room and takeout situation since there's only one server. I loved the response I got when I called about their hours earlier. (The menu photos show a 7:30pm close while Yelp indicates 9:30.) The answer? 9-10 "depending on the meats." Hope these guys stick around because the food is incredible. Highly recommend! read more

I've been wanting to visit Meraki for a hot minute. I love Greek food, but convincing my husband to try food he is unfamiliar with is really, REALLY difficult- I had to wait for the right moment... vacation. When the mood was right, the sun was shining and he was feeling particularly chipper, I mapped out my plan for the the day, we'd have lunch at the "restaurant" that was in the same plaza as one of his favorite cannabis stores, and then we could spend the rest of the day paddling around on a south side like while he was in a blissful haze. That sounded like a good plan to him when presented without the detail that the restaurant was food foreign to him - that I knew he would like if I could just get him to try it. Fast forward - The ambiance was sunny and casual, perfect. My husband wouldn't be inclined to complain about it being uninviting. And we were greeted by the most pleasant gentleman who was both our host and server. He made some suggestions, all but one turned out to be perfect. The mixed meat platter absolutely floored my husband. He LOVED pork in particular. The zucchini balls were terrible- neither of us liked them. But the tray of sauces was really excellent as well. The service was so great and the food was wonderful. It was soooo much food, we couldn't finish it all. The potatoes on the meat tray we so tasty as well. Everything was well seasoned. Definitely recommend. read more

Meraki Hellenic Grill is such a delight to have in South Anchorage. I had been wanting to try them for the better part of a year, but my hermit nature was a hinderance from years of jet setting across the nation. My husband venture out and brought home some food on a day I wasn't feeling particularly well and it was exactly the pick me up that I needed. He ordered the humongous Chicken Souvlaki platter which was large enough for us to share and have a lunch for one the following day. The flavors oh my God the flavors, it was so fresh and zesty tasting, a total flavor bomb in my mouth! My husband said that they were incredibly kind, speedy, and friendly. He also mentioned that the restaurant itself was IMMACULATE, which I appreciate immensely. My main reason for 4 out of 5 stars was this place is expensive, more than I would expect. I can't wait to check this place out in person soon! read more

Authentic, locally owned, high quality Greek food, I have nothing but good things to say about Meraki Grill. The special Greek dip was a perfect appetizer to a hearty, healthy, and tasty wrap. The staff was attentive, food arrived quickly, and the attention to detail in the quality of food and decor of the space was perfect. I will be back! read more

This is a new restaurant that has opened up very near to my house and I have been wanting to try and I finally got to try it yesterday. I placed a pick up order for the chicken yerros it came with a large cucumber salad, carrot, lettuce, salad & sauce/dressing. And I also ordered the roasted eggplant dip with pita bread. And I was not disappointed first of all the portions were phenomenal. this homeo lasted me from what would be called lunch into dinner and some of my teenagers ate some of the pita bread as well. The seasoned chicken and veggies were a perfect combination of flavors. The roasted eggplant was probably my favorite. I love onion and garlic the more the better! I'm not too sure if they make their breads in house but it was delicious. The only negative thing for me with my meal was the sauce or salad dressing. It was just two vinegary for me, so I know next time and there will be a next time I will request tzatziki sauce as a sub. The inside looks quite nice. There was quite a few people at the tables and people picking up order so I can tell this is becoming a popular spot. Looking forward to trying different plates from here in the near future. read more

Today I got the chicken Yurro. This thing was huge! Came with a side salad. The salad was just lettuce, tomato and cucumber. Not a Greek salad which I would have liked. The yurro had lots and lots of chicken, some kind of sauce, lettuce, tomato, red onion and some fries inside. It was pretty good!! read more

I went here for lunch with a friend today. Meraki Hellenic Grill is located off of Old Seward Hwy past Huffman going towards DeArmoun Rd. It is housed in an unassuming strip mall next to the Southside Grill. The interior of the dining area is small but clean and spotless, with Greek-themed decor displayed on the walls. The manager of the restaurant, who I believe is the owner, was very friendly but very busy as he was the only one serving orders to the diners. This would explain the "Help Wanted" sign on the front door needing a waiter-waitress. We took a table against the wall at the back of the restaurant which gave us a clear view of the dining area. The menu is short but versatile with specials on dishes written on a small blackboard that change often. For the appetizer, we picked Dolmades (grape leaves stuffed with rice and spices) which was listed as one of the specials. They were gone in a few minutes as soon as it arrived at our table. The Dolmades were covered with olive oil and parsley on the side. A large slice of lemon was also provided for added flavor. Absolutely delicious. For the main dishes, I decided to order the Doner Kebab Yerro, probably more recognizable when spelled "gyro" (lamb/beef mixture with onions, tomatoes, tzatziki, parsley, and fries wrapped in a pita). Honestly, this has got to be the best Yerro I've had in recent memory. There is a slab of meat on display (Halal?) behind the register that reminds me of the Middle Eastern markets I've seen in New York City. The meat was sliced from this display and was so tender and flavorful. The tzatzkiki sauce and the thin sliced fries were outstanding complements to the pita. The salad on the side was also delicious with their homemade balsamic dressing. My friend ordered the Pork Yerro and said that this was amazing. The pork was roasted traditional spitfire style and reminded me of sliced pork belly. Normally, I would eat entrees and there would still be enough for a second meal. Not this time. Both of us ate everything that was set in front of us. I am still thinking about the meal as I type this review. That's how incredible the food was. However, what really made the experience memorable and stand out for us was the owner/manager himself. Being short-handed without waitstaff, he was the only one to serve everyone during the lunch rush and worked so hard but remained friendly. Upon leaving, he was having technical problems with the computerized register at the front counter. He was unable to close out our check after trying to ring up the transaction. He had no luck and told us not to worry about it. After having such a great meal and seeing how he worked so hard in the dining room, I would've felt bad to leave without paying. We flat out refused and asked how much the bill was. He said it was $30 for the meals and the appetizers, we gave him $40 and told him to keep the change. I hope he gets the register fixed soon as I don't think the other diners realized that the poor guy could not ring up the checks for those on the way out. It's individuals like this that encourage me to support this restaurant and send the word out to everyone about this place. read more

Real rating: 4.5/5 The place is small, only less than 10 tables but it neat and nice looking. There was one server and she was very nice. We didn't have to wait too long for our food. The food was really good. The Hellenic Mix Grill platter was huge ($49) can definitely be shared between 2 people. It had the 3 types of meat: chicken, pork and lamb/beef. The meats sat on top of thin steak fries, which was nice because they crisped up due to the thinness. The pita bread was fluffy and delicious. Everything was seasoned well, except my hubby thinks the chicken could've had a bit more "oomph". I appreciate that it wasn't dry and it tasted fresh. I'm also a sucker for a good Tatziki and they had pretty good tatziki. We had to ask for another one since the one they came with the platter was not enough. Overall, love the food and would come back again especially if I'm craving some delicious Greek food. read more

Meraki Grill - A Hidden Gem! Wow! It's been a long time since I've had food this delicious. We ordered the grill for $45, and it was easily enough for two--plus leftovers! The chicken could've used a bit more flavor, but the other meats were absolutely fantastic. The tomatoes, peppers, onions, and fries were all incredibly tasty. While we were eating, two other customers even stood up to congratulate the chef! Service was excellent--the hostess was beyond kind, and our server was professional and reserved. The restaurant is small but cozy. This is officially my new favorite spot in the south area--I'll definitely be back! read more

Meraki Grill - Greek Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

After another about a year hiatus we finally have the best Greek food in town back in our lives! Meraki has no moved from the east side to the southside & are located in a strip mall in the Huffman area. If y'all can remember this restaurant was originally located in Eagle River (personally this was my favorite location since that's where I live haha) & closed down during 2021. They again have their own storefront, and this one has a decent amount of seating for in house dining. It also seems like they've decide to undergo a name change to Meraki Afrah from Meraki Hellenic Grill. While they have a new name & a new location the food is the same excellent & delicious. Lucky for me I'm in the Huffman area at least once a week so I was able to order take out in one of the first few weeks of their reopening. One of the owners answered the phone & she's always very helpful & kind. My food was ready fairly quickly as well. I ordered a pork yerro & tyrokafteri (spicy feta dip). The yerro was packed with meat, veggies & my favorite a few French fries. It comes with a nice side salad so you get the best of both worlds. The dip was so flavorful. I love tyrokafteri & this one definitely packs a good amount of spice & tons of feta cheese. It's $15, but it's also a good sized portion from the photo you can see it's packed in a large dip container so it is portioned out. Fun fact gyros in Greece are either pork or chicken. A lamb or lamb & beef mixture would actually be referred to as doner kebab, which Meraki serves some times as a special. There's only a handful of restaurants that use a vertical rotisserie & stack their own meat for their gyros/doner kebab/shawrma & Meraki is one of them. A lot of places serve pre packaged emulsified kebab meat like you would find at Costco or Freddie's. So when you order a meal from here you're getting the real deal, hand shaved meat. This is definitely my favorite spot for Greek food in town, and I highly recommend you give them a try. For a sit down meal down skip out on the grilled octopus or calamaraki! read more

I went here with a few co-workers for lunch. Initially I was a little concerned as it was quiet, but by the time we left, it was quite busy. I went with the Pork Yerros. Which is sliced spit fired pork built on grilled pita, tzatziki, onions, tomatoes, and fries inside. The last couple times I've had gyros, they've had fries in them and I'm beginning to be a fan. This gyro was stuffed with pork and the tzatziki tasted great. It was a perfect balance of flavors. The salad tasted great as well. My only complaint is that there wasn't a similar gyro with lamb. However, that wouldn't stop me from coming back. The service was great as well. There are several items on the menu I wouldn't mind trying in the future. If you're in the mood for greek food, you won't be disappointed with Meraki Hellenic Grill. read more

I can't believe this Greek food gem has been in South Anchorage for two years and I'm just discovering it. It's family-owned and operated by a lovely Greek family who cooks using their grandmother's recipes, which makes every dish feel special. The food is outstanding--authentic, comforting, and full of flavor. read more

If you're looking for delicious food and a great atmosphere, run, don't walk, to Meraki! My husband and I had such a wonderful time enjoying a spontaneous date night here. The food was seriously incredible. We ordered the eggplant dip (a must-try!) and the Kebab Platter, and it scratched every itch we had. My only slight regret? We didn't swap the bed of fries for the salad! The fries were good, but they do offer a healthy substitute, and we were just too busy salivating to ask. Lesson learned for next time! But the real, unexpected star of the show? The Greek Orange Juice! Seriously, forget those artificial sodas. This stuff is liquid sunshine and frankly, is miles better than Fanta (yes, I said it!). Don't skip it! Beyond the delicious eats, the staff are super welcoming, and the entire restaurant is absolutely immaculate. Meraki is a total gem, go treat yourself! read more

Well we tried this place out this evening for dinner and this is what we experienced. Good - the dining area was clean and maintained, the lamb kabobs tasted great Bad - service wasn't as friendly or welcoming once we arrived waiting for seating, our order took awhile to arrive, the price did seem to be too high for the amount you receive, after dinner we asked for a to go box and received dirty box, seating is limited with 8 small tables, the server gave us the payment device and just stood by our table watching me enter a tip. While waiting for our bill a couple entered the restaurant at around 755pm and the server said to the couple "hold on" as they close at 830pm. The couple was eventually seated and served. read more

Went here for the first time with my cousin for some girl time and wanted to find a place with a strong flavor profile as my cousin's taste buds haven't worked since she caught C19 3 years ago. I had heard of this new place serving up Hreek food just recently and I suggested this spot. Upon walking in, the dining area was very clean and the ambience was welcoming and bright. Of course in catching up, it took us a while to figure out what we wanted to eat because we were talking so much. With us. It being too hungry, our server suggested we order the mixed grill platter to split between us so we had a chance to try a little bit of all the meats they offered. When the food came out, our eyes became big! There was no way this platter was made for 2! More like 3 people!! And with the price point, totally worth it. The chicken kebab and lamb kebab was chef's kiss as well as the pork which my cousin's taste buds had totally experienced great flavor from! I was excited for her!! This place is right next to Southside Grill where I love to grab breakfast from and is also tasty. My only complaint is that Meraki is so far away tucked past Huffman. They deserve more business. I need to plan a way to get here again sooner rather than later! read more

Found this place when they were colocated with a wing place that was closer to my house and loved the food.

Sit down place with casual neighborhood feel. Great service for how busy they were during the dinner rush. Platters were big servings and we easily could've taken home leftovers. They had run out of a couple of the menu items we would've tried but the chicken and pork yerros platters were both pretty good. The fries were delicious! Would try the kebab or skewer style chicken next time. read more

So delicious. Friends were here from England who visit Greece yearly. They also loved it

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
