If you think you've had great Greek food in Connecticut, go to The Greek in Bethel and recalibrate your expectations. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the difference. The restaurant is spotless. Not just tidy -- immaculate. The kind of clean that tells you the kitchen runs with discipline and pride. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the family who runs it greets you with genuine hospitality. You can see it in their faces. This is not just a business. This is their culture, their heritage, and their reputation on every plate. Now the food. I ordered the lamb gyro platter, and it was exactly what authentic Greek comfort food should be. The lamb was deeply savory, beautifully seasoned, and sliced generously. Tender, flavorful, and aromatic without being greasy or heavy. Every bite tasted balanced and intentional. This wasn't fast-casual gyro. This was traditional, done right. My wife had the Greek chicken Caesar, and it was outstanding. The chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy, and seasoned with that unmistakable Mediterranean brightness. The greens were crisp, the flavors bold but clean. It felt fresh, not weighed down. We shared the falafel appetizer, and it disappeared quickly. Crisp golden exterior, tender and herbaceous inside, properly seasoned with real depth. Not dry. Not bland. Exactly how falafel should taste. Then came dessert. The rice pudding was creamy and comforting, subtly sweet, and clearly house-made. But the orange cake stole the night. Thin, delicate layers of phyllo soaked with honey and bright orange. Simple ingredients, flawless execution. It was light yet rich with citrus aroma, sweet but not overpowering. The kind of dessert that makes you pause mid-bite because it is that good. You do not rush this cake. You savor it. What truly sets The Greek apart is the authenticity of their ingredients. They import nearly everything from Greece -- herbs, spices, oils, vinegars. You can taste the difference immediately. The oregano has more fragrance. The olive oil has more character. The flavors are vibrant, alive, unmistakably Greek. This is not imitation. This is the real thing. And the pride shows. The family running the restaurant clearly cares about every detail, from food quality to customer service. They are friendly, attentive, and genuinely appreciative of their guests. It feels personal. We left full, happy, and already talking about what we would order next time. If you are anywhere near Bethel and you love authentic Mediterranean food, do not hesitate. Go to The Greek. Bring an appetite. Order dessert. And prepare to find what is easily the best Greek food in the area. We will absolutely be back. read more

Stopped in for the first time for lunch after seeing the reviews on Yelp. I asked for their recommendation and they had stuffed peppers with roasted potatoes and a Greek salad that day so I decided to go with their suggestion and I have to say, it was very tasty. I also ordered the hummus with pita and that was really good too. It came with two good sized peppers so there was enough for left overs the next day The people who worked here seemed very friendly and the food was ready fairly quickly. I will definitely be back there soon. read more

Big portions great food and the service was fantastic. Didn't have to wait long for the food to come out!

Legit gyros. Friendly service. The only two complaints are the tall prices: a gyro with wedges, and a greek lemonade including added feta cheese is 30$ YIKES. my second complaint is that it is somewhat inconspicuous and easy to miss unless youre dead squat in front of the store. Short of those two issues, its better than nikos in danbury. read more

The Greek - Stuffed peppers and roasted potatoes Greek salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Bethel, Connecticut

I was really disappointed with my experience. The gyros were very light on ingredients -- just a few strips of meat that was over cooked, with little to no tzatziki, onions, and tomato. I'm used to a full hearty gyro with lettuce, plenty of tzatziki, tomato, and onions. Normally I can't even finish a gyro, but this time I was left hungry. For the price I paid, it was very disappointing and honestly made me sad. I probably won't return, even after they open the new location. The dolma was good, but it was clearly from an imported can, so nothing special or made in-house. Overall, not worth the cost for what you get. It would've been better if a small Greek salad or something was provided with the gyro. I got two gyros, dolma and an extra tzatziki and spent over 60$ to stay hungry. I am curious about some of the other dishes, but still may not go back. read more

The Greek - Mediterranean Near Me - Bethel, Connecticut

Disappointed and Still Hungry for Something Better in Fairfield I left this place woefully underwhelmed and honestly a bit frustrated. Why is it so hard to find food with soul in Fairfield? Everything feels like it's missing heart--and this place was no exception. The food? It was fine. Comparable to what a friend might make if you went over for dinner... only with a bill at the end. Not terrible, just nothing to rave about. The service had a very "Greek taverna" vibe--direct, maybe even brusque. That can work, but if you're going to be a little rough around the edges, the food better blow me away and it didn't. Decor? Practically nonexistent. Overall, it lacked the warmth, charm, and quality. read more

The Greek - Mastiho...my favorite Greek drink - Mediterranean Near Me - Bethel, Connecticut

Solid neighborhood spot. I enjoyed the gyro pita but felt like the portion was a bit small for the price. The potato portion was massive and nicely crispy and seasoned. The pita with spicy feta was large but not to my taste. I want to shout out how delicious soft and hot the pita bread was. I don't know if they make it in house but it's the best pita I've ever had. Service was friendly. I want to go back and try some of their other items. read more

Really good Greek food. Freindly staff. Cramped dining room, but nice sidewalk tables Flavorful lamb, fresh taz sauce, pita and veggies, a great, solid gyro. But gyro, no fries, $14+ makes them an occasional treat, rather than my regular stop for med food. read more

We've tried them several times to give them a chance as they worked out some kinks and producing a menu (which took over a year). Several things were good, the special gyro was very over-salted....but the last few times I couldn't get past the smell of mens cologne that was all over the outer packaging that transferred to the food. Just gross. read more

What a terrific find. A friend suggested this place when we were visiting Bethel. The food was wonderful. Had a gyro sandwich; gyro platter and a chicken platter. All were terrific. Came with a great salad with home-made dressing and generous portion of excellent feta cheese. Portions were all very large. Brought enough home for at least one lunch tomorrow! Outdoor dining was very nice and on-street parking was right in front. Owner, George was very welcoming. Can't wait to visit Bethel again and go back! read more

Stopped in for lunch not knowing what to expect. What we found was an incredibly varied and delicious menu. The 4 of us all ordered different things for lunch & additional dishes for takeout for dinner. All were particularly delicious. There were 3 main choices for dessert specials & we took them all, including the best baklava & rice pudding ever. All dishes made from scratch with ingredients imported from Greece. Yumm! If you're in or around Bethel, do stop by & have a delicious, reasonably priced Greek Feast! read more
