Greco offers pitas that you can customize with marinated and juicy chicken, pork, lamb or beef with toppings of your choice. They also have hearty plates of Greek salad, tzatziki and pita bread. You should also try their desserts-loukoumades which are sweet Greek donuts topped with honey, cinnamon chocolate and nuts. Their meats and salad ingredients are fresh and I've never ordered a plate I didn't enjoy. There is limited seating inside and outside so keep that in mind. If you're confused about what to order or want recommendations their staff are really helpful-all you have to do is ask.

I was in Boston for a little bit and stopped here to grab a quick lunch. It's a very beautiful and…read morefast restaurant, but I couldn't get past how messy it was inside. It wasn't busy so I wouldnt think there wouldn't be napkins on the floor and the table a bit sticky. I got the pork Gyro and it had good flavor, but a lot of onions as well. The fries inside were easily my favorite part and were cooked well. The orange Blossom lemonade was very refreshing and floral, but I don't think that I would get it again. The baklava was a perfect texture and just the right serving. I'd go back if I were in the area again

7/5/26: After seeing Saloniki's frozen yogurt all over Instagram, I finally decided to give it a…read moretry. We ordered two flavors: Olive Oil & Sea Salt and Caramel & Pistachio, both priced at $7. I'll admit, it's a fun concept and a nice addition to the menu. The Olive Oil & Sea Salt was refreshing and had a subtle savory touch that made it different from your typical frozen yogurt. The Caramel & Pistachio was my favorite of the two, with the crunchy pistachios adding a nice texture and the caramel giving it just enough sweetness. That said, I had a hard time justifying the price. While the frozen yogurt tasted good, the serving size was fairly small, and I never really felt like I was getting $7 worth of dessert. It felt more like an Instagram-worthy upsell than something I'd go out of my way to order again. I'm glad I tried it because I was curious after seeing so many posts online, and now I can officially check it off my list. If you're already at Saloniki and want to try something a little different, I'd say it's worth ordering once just for the experience. Overall, I'd give it 3/5 stars. It's refreshing, unique, and a fun twist on frozen yogurt, but I don't think the value matches the price. I probably wouldn't come back specifically for the frozen yogurt again.

I especially enjoy coming here in the summer when the outdoor patio is open. It has such a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere and makes for a great meal in the South End. The service has always been very good as well. Definitely a place I'm happy to come back to again and again.

The waitress walked us through the menu recommending her favorites as well as explaining the specials. It was recommended to have 2-3 small plates per person.

Note: Inside seating is very cramped. If it is a nice day out, I would recommend grabbing a seat outside.

I LOVE THE GREEK DONUTS AT SALONIKI GREEK! Omg! I'm…read moreabsolutely obsessed w/ their donuts, specifically the cinnamon + honey one. Saloniki Greek is a local chain in the Boston Area that was founded in 2016, w/ this being their first location! Now they have expanded w/ 5 locations total-- Fenway, Newbury St/Back Bay, Downtown, Cambridge (MIT), & Cambridge (Harvard Sq). The first time I had it was at their Newbury St location, & it was my first time the other day trying it from here... safe to say they definitely NAILED IT! I actually think this time around, Fenway made the donuts better hahaha. It was pretty chill the day we visited so ordering was a breeze & took ~5ish minutes for our donuts to be ready. They come piping hot & are the perfect dessert for after ANY meal. I've had their gyros before but always find myself coming back for their Greek donuts, highly recommend! ***Also, if you have a Student ID, you can get a free order of Greek fries if you order either a salad, sandwich, or plate. ***

Aceituna Grill is a small, local chain in the Boston area with four locations. The menu has three main Mediterranean options (pita roll-up, rice plate, salad plate) where you can mix and match with different proteins and sides. I ordered a salad plate with falafel for protein. It came with pita bread and two sides so I got hummus and fried cauliflower. Everything was fresh and it was a TON of food for $15ish which you can easily make into two meals. We ordered at the counter and ate in the restaurant. Service was quick and the restaurant was clean. I highly recommend if you're looking for a healthy food option to check out Aceituna Grill!

It is located in a busy area, which made for a livelier experience. When we arrived, we eyed some outdoor seats, so we rushed inside to order food hoping they'd still be available. I was going to order one of their pre made bowls but I couldn't resist the freedom of building my own. I went with a super green and brown rice base, harissa chicken as my protein, roasted eggplant, harissa, and crazy feta for the sides, with all the toppings, and a garlic sauce. I got a side of harissa pita chips with a green dipping sauce. It is by far one of the best lunches I have had in my life! There's just so many flavors in one bowl, and everything was very fresh. The harissa chicken is very tender and flavorful. I heard that harissa chips are going away....I am willing to sign any campaign to have them stay on the menu permanently. We did end up getting the seats outside but they really do need more chairs. I'm not sure if they get relocated to other places over time, but I think there were 8 tables (2-4 people) and 4 chairs. The prices are good for the quality of food you're getting. Their drinks are unique and good as well. We mixed a couple lemonades together, which enhanced the flavors.

We were seated promptly and the vibes were really great since it was commencement weekend in Boston with several large parties celebrating the occasion. The passion martini was a great way to start the early evening dinner, followed by a dozen of their freshly-shucked oysters. We ordered a few other items: - Crispy Eggplant: definitely the highlight of the meal for us; the tempura-style fried eggplant slices with the creamy, tangy yogurt laced with something sweet (honey?), and then topped with cheese - Fattoush Salad: nice and bright, nothing too spectacular about this, but definitely a nice hit of freshness there - Beef Shish Kebab: the meat was well seasoned, although I would say the portion seemed small for the price. - Manakish: flavorful and hot, and was a great way to soak up any of the remaining sauce and dressing from the other dishes Overall, would definitely come back for the oysters and the eggplant as a light meal with drinks before a larger meal someplace else later in the evening.

I am disappointed, from the very start to the end my experience was quite bad. The kitchen did not allow a bread substitution for the sandwich we ordered, they did not do waffles at this location either, and when we got our food the portion sizes were very small. The salmon was very overpriced for how much they offered; $27 for a piece of salmon only a few inches across was insulting, but apparently that is just how it is served there (picture below, you can see the pieces of broccoli are almost as big as the fish!) The other dish we got was the chicken sandwich, which is cut into two halves. The first half was normal but there was basically no chicken on the second half of the sandwich, it was essentially all bread. We brought it up to a manager and they got us a new piece of chicken, which fit entirely alongside the old piece of chicken on the bun because it was so small. On top of that we had to wait around nearly half an hour after finishing and had to flag down a waiter to get our check and go. The service overall was very slow. I will never come back to this restaurant.
