I ordered the avgolemono soup and the gyro platter (lamb) with pilaf and greek potatoes. The avgolemono soup was hands-down the best I've had at any local restaurant that has it. It was a little 'soupier' than in some restaurants, which I liked, and wasn't artificially yellow. Very tasty, just the right amount of lemon, and had a velvety mouth-feel that I enjoyed. The gyro wrap was also very good. Tzatziki both under and on top so no bite was devoid of sauce. Very messy. :) The greek potatoes were perfectly cooked and had just the right balance of spice and lemon, and the pilaf was very good, although I couldn't finish all of it because I was too busy devouring everything else. The site will not allow me to upload the second picture, showing the entree, so you'll have to be satisfied with just the soup. I'd go there JUST for the soup, honestly. read more

My son and I were craving a Gyro and the place we used to go in Dacula was closed, but this one was listed also in Dacula so we gave it a try. So glad we did!!! Just down the street from the high school this is a small place just off Atlanta Highway easy to find with a large storefront and ample parking. Once inside it's decorated pretty simple, ordering is up front but I got food to go so called ahead and ordered what we wanted. We were craving.Gyros so we got two of them., one with everything including fries, and the other I left off the fries, but had a ample amount of lamb, tzatziki sauce, lettuce, tomato, and it was huge!!!! The pita bread was thick and soft with a perfect chew this was probably a half a pound or more total weight. Every bite was sensational. I added a little extra tomato for mine and this really hit the spot. We also got the appetizer falafel's, which came with the mustard sauce, and these were spot on a Greek delicacy. For dessert we had the Galaktoboureko- phyllo dough with a custard and a citrusy syrup and OMG this was phenomenal!! This was a huge piece for $8.95 and it fed three of us with a couple of bites were saving till tomorrow, but an absolute delight. I don't eat a lot of desserts, but I could get addicted to this as I already liked baklava and I haven't tried those yet, but that's next. The girl upfront was super friendly and had my order ready when I got there and so glad I made the 25 minute ride from Winder to try this out. This was the first time here and there will be many more to come. I'm looking at the menu again to see what I'm gonna order the next time but knowing me, I will go right back to another Gyro because that is one of my favorite wraps, and so glad we found this place. Highly recommend.!!!!! read more

This is my third time here and it just keeps getting better. The family atmosphere starts as soon as you walk in the door. The service is all smiles and love. Gracious! The Flaming Cheese is a must have. The hummus is excellent. The chicken is flavored perfectly and is moist. There is not one bad thing on the menu and it is ALL homemade. Go, you won't be sorry. Go now. read more

Two recent carry outs. Delicious food; good portions, fairly reasonable prices. Spanikopita was excellent and huge. We ordered gyros (lamb and chicken), souvlaki, Greek salad and extra rice. No complaints whatsoever from our dinner guests! Will definitely return. read more

I have driven by My Big Fat Greek Taverna for a few years and always planned to try their food. I finally tried it on 07/25/2026. My 94-year-old mother wanted some Greek food and after reading many good reviews, I decided to give it a try. I went into the restaurant to pick up my food and was met by a friendly employee. The food wasn't ready, so I looked around the restaurant - it looked nice and clean. After a few minutes, she brought my order to me. Our takeout order totaled $132.39, so we expected a quality meal. When we opened the containers, several dishes looked overcooked and dry. After a few bites realized one of the dishes was pretty much inedible and the others, including the baklavas, were terrible (over cooked and dry, or old tasting and chewy/tough pie and pastry crust). Here's what we ordered: - Mousaka Platter: Not much eggplant and what was there seemed to be overcooked - mainly potatoes. Rice pilaf didn't have much flavor. Lemon potatoes were good. - Spanakopita Platter: Pretty much inedible - ate some to see if perhaps it may get better - it didn't. Pastry was chewy and tough - not flakey. Terrible flavor. Rice pilaf didn't have much flavor. Lemon potatoes were good. - 2 Chicken Shish Kebob Platters: Chicken in both platters was overcooked and dry. The mustard sauce seemed to be mayonnaise with a little mustard and maybe some lemon flavor. - 3 Baklavas: I love baklavas - these were not flakey at all and seemed they may have been sitting on the counter too long. I had to cut them with a steak knife (first time in my life). Flavor was good. When I contacted the restaurant, the manager declined to provide her name and stated that they do not issue refunds on takeout orders regardless of the circumstances. That was especially disappointing given the quality of the meal. So, apparently, they can box up anything and if it's terrible - too bad for you. Wasted $132.39! A few hours after eating some of the spanakopita, I became nauseated and woke up the next morning with an upset stomach. I can't say for certain it was caused by the food, but the timing was concerning. Based on this experience, I can't recommend this restaurant and won't be returning. read more

I hate to update my review, but my recent meal here was very disappointing. The past several times, it's been mildly unpleasant to have to be seated and then go order at the counter. I dislike paying for a meal before even being served it because there's no telling if the tip was deserved. I can deal with ordering at the counter if the staff is still knowledgeable and prompt. There was only one table occupied and it took 30 minutes to receive our meals ... staggered. One entree, followed by a long wait, then one more, which basically meant the 6th meal (easily the most simple, a side salad) served was brought out as the 1st person had already finished eating. No apologies at all, and all I could think was, "well, they already got their tip, why would they care." We also watched the other tables fill up and inexplicably receive their meals promptly. The green beans are awful. They used to be one of my favorite things here, but this time they tasted like a tin can of spaghettio sauce mixed with a tin can of green beans, and more carrot than green bean. One of our party ordered the salmon special, and you could just look at the salmon and know that it would be painfully dry. It was difficult to even swallow. I loved this restaurant and I want to support local business, but I think that the menu prices should be balanced by it being ordering-at-the-counter rather than being waited on. read more

This place has the best spanakopita that I've ever tried Homemade and heavenly. They use real feta cheese and there is so much lovely depth to the seasonings used in the spinach blend! The portion was generous, the crust hot and flaky!! My traditional gyro was also very yummy and big enough to have leftovers! The tzatziki dip was absolutely delicious and clearly super freshly made! My boyfriend got the cabbage rolls and he loved them. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful inside and has the cutest greek theme. Our server was attentive and service was quick. I think my only regret is not bringing home some of the gorgeous baklava! read more

A pay first, choose a table and eat place. We were craving gyros and decided to try this place. The place was ample and clean. The restrooms were spacious and somewhat clean. The service was great and gave good suggestions. The food was wonderful and had great flavor (Bonus points: The name of the restaurant had a great pun to it. Lol!) A must try! read more

We had a great experience! We ordered the Saganaki and the Opa combo platter. It was plenty of food for two of us. Service was prompt and they checked in with us multiple times after food was delivered. The dining area is clean and decorated to make you feel like you are in Greece! I recommend giving it a try! We will be back! read more

The food was excellent and the staff very personable!!! It's a cute place tucked in Dacula. We had the feta salad and 2 gyros - delicious!!!

My husband picked this up for dinner so I can't comment on the inside but the food was delicious! Even after he drove 15 min home, the food was still hot. We had the spinach pie, and you could tell it was homemade, delicious! He had the gyro platter and it was the best gyro meat we have ever had. I had the Mousaka and it was awesome! Definitely give this place a try if you are craving some Greek food! read more

I've been supporting this business since they opened. Most of my experiences have been great. Both food and service have been outstanding. I usually do take out. I order on line and go pick it up. The ambiance seems great. The place is clean and the staff are friendly enough. On my visit last week I was very disappointed unfortunately. The standard pickup time is 30 mins. I placed my order at 6:30, with pickup scheduled for 7:00 pm. I arrived at 7:30 to be told they had no order for me, but if I waited they will prepare it. Although I was quite annoyed I opted to wait. Approximately 20 mins later I get my order. After I got home and started eating I realized that there's not much, outside of the meat in my gyro, it's way too flat. I open it up to find this...(see pics). Where's the lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. There were a few fries. I spent a total $25 in their establishment, this is not okay. I think I should be reimbursed for at least the gyro. I'd hate to stop supporting them, but this is not okay. read more

The food is so good and plentiful that it's worth having to get up and order. After they served our meals they came by several times to make sure we were ok. The decor is really adorable. read more

Very charmingly decorated little restaurant. The appetizers did seem a bit costly for the amount but were high quality, so.. okay. We got feta and olives and also the hummus plate. Pita bread seemed a little gummy but pretty tasty. My meal was chicken shish kebab and was very delicious and reasonably healthy. Sister got the spanokopita dinner which she liked but said it was too high in carbs.... rice, potatoes and spanokopita with lots of crust. Other sis got the gyro platter which she said was very good. We overdid the desserts. The wedding cookies were not so good...very, crumbly, dry and had no almond flavor. The kormos was yummy. The tiramisu was delicious, my favorite. The Ekmek Kataifi (sp?) was ... not so great... my least favorite. But I am picky, so overall this was a great Greek restaurant! read more

This was our second time here. The first time, the gyros were a bit dry, from the meat to the taziki sauce, and they didn't improve any on this visit. Taziki sauce should be fluid, not thick and viscous. It should also taste more like cucumbers. The tomatoes were anemic and had no taste. Also, this is the first Greek restaurant we've ever been to where french fries are put into the pita, and they were soggy and unsalted. If you're looking for a really great gyro and you're over in the Snellville area, there's a drive thru place on 78 that has really spetacular gyros and platters - and it's a lot less money. The third time probably won't be the charm here, so this is our last visit. read more

The service was suspended. As we walked in to the small but nicely decorated restaurant we felt welcomed. We wanted to try a little of everything so ordered the Opa Platter. It was enough to share (at least for us). The hummus was delicious and the pita warm. We finished with some sweet. All is well great. We will be back soon and often. read more

Incredible experience at this new-to-us locally owned and family operated Greek restaurant in Dacula. We have had several mediocre meals since our previous favorite Greek place closed, so we did not know what to expect, but from the moment we walked in we were blown away. The atmosphere is small, but warm and inviting... and Maria and Panos make you feel like old friends the minute you enter their doors! They assist if you have menu questions and make recommendations if you request. And the FOOD!! OMG! We have never had better!!! It was delicious and so fresh! Everything is homemade and incredible. Just GOOOOOO!! read more

First time here after getting off the plane. I needed something to eat near by. Service and food were great. No problems.

Wow, totally impressed!! If you like Greek food, this is the place to go. Authentic, fresh and so flavorful. The owners are from Greece so you know it's going to be delicious! We had the flaming cheese appetizer-so good! And lamb gyros with lemon potatoes. Amazing! And the Taziki sauce was perfect! We will absolutely be back! Looking forward to trying other Greek dishes here. read more

What a little gem! I have lived in the area off and on since this was Amy's country kitchen, then the barbeque, now I moved farther and this gem opened up. The family who owns this is SO nice and the food was great. I have had the gyro, the soup, Greek salad, bacon kotomaki & chicken souvlaki. My two favorites were the kotomaki and the Greek potatoes that came with my gyro. I could just eat the potatoes all day long. I will be back I am sure for another go! read more

Food was not authentic but not bad at all.The gyros were a little small but the rest was pretty good. The baklava was to die for. Service blue's excellent. If they would get rid of the basic regular French fries and do a more authentic potato that would make the place awesome! read more

Update. I ordered a gyro and it was terrible. So disappointed from previous visits. The meat was dried out and cold, the fries were little crumbs, cold and soggy. Such a turn off. Probably not going back. Owner must have been off that day. His kitchen needs to get back on track. read more

The gyros are always fresh and delicious, the best I ever had. Service is always great. Fast and friendly. I highly recommend if you like authentic Greek food. read more

This is authentic Greek food, folks. Do not let the small parking lot dissuade you - you NEED to eat here! The souvlaki (chicken, pork, and bifteki), gyro, pita, pastitsio, lemon potatoes, lemon soup, tzatziki, and desserts are AMAZING! The service is taken care of by the owners and they do a fantastic job! The interior of the restaurant is done to make you think you are eating on a veranda in Greece! Very nice! Please make sure you try this local place out in Dacula - you will NOT be disappointed! read more

The food was average at best. I felt it was over priced for what they gave me. I probably wouldn't be back.

So disappointing! I was hopeful when I saw the 4.5 star rating. However, the gyro meat was prepackaged or preformed, and was not very plentiful and not freshly shaved off the spindle. The platter included rice with frozen peas, carrots, and corn. This was not mentioned in the menu. The price to value was not there. read more

No other place is as more authentic. I love the stuffed cabbage and Greek potatoes so much!

The food was the best Greek food I've ever had outside of the country! It had a very Greek vibe with lots of decoration. The staff was extremely nice and accommodating, they filled up my 2 big water bottle jugs that were each a gallon for no cost. 100% recommend! read more

I have been to good greek restaurants, but this is just a pathetic cousin of a good greek restaurant. Food was ''meh'' service was poor, and when we asked for a sample taste of one of the sauces, we were told ''no. You can buy a side if you wsnt a taste''. There are lots of good places in and around Dacula to eat. No reason to waste money here read more

Food was not good and was not authentic Greek. The service was ok and Ambiance was so so

I stopped by for lunch with a friend--parking was a bit tricky, but everything else was great. I ordered the Chicken Shish Kabob, and my friend had the Rolled Cabbage. We shared both dishes. The food took a little while to arrive, which was a good sign that it was freshly prepared. It was delicious and full of flavor. The decor gave off a nice Santorini feel, which added to the experience. I'll definitely be back. If you haven't tried this place yet, you should--it won't disappoint! read more

Fresh, authentic Greek food! The prices are a bit high for the amount, but we happily pay it for fresh and healthy food!

Went here with a Greek friend about two weeks ago, I'm still raving to friends about it. He picked our food for us. The most amazing was the flaming cheese in the cast iron skillet (I don't know the name). Gyro and potatoes were delicious. Greek coffee-a must try! They delivered us a delicious crumble dessert (on the house). Service was great- nice, nice folks. Highly recommend this great new Greek place in Dacula. Wanted to add an extra note: absolutely love what they've done with the place. They have worked really hard to updo the inside and out. read more
