    Build Your Own Pita.
    Monica S.

    Food: pretty decent carry-out Mediterranean food. My husband and I tried a 'build your own pita'. The pita was warmed up upon ordering and the veggies were fresh. I know that lamb is typically a salty meat, but it seemed a little saltier here. Service: My husband and I experienced limited customer service as we ordered food to go, but the service that we did experience was good. Value: one pita was about $9. Though my husband and I had a coupon for a BOGO offer, I think it's a pretty good value as they give pretty good meat/veggie portions. Location: Located on Wilson Blvd next to a Bistro. Small parking lot/very limited parking.

    The family platter is huge!! It can definitely can feed more than 4 people. The green beans, chicken, and gyro meat were the best parts of the meal. The rice and potatoes were ok, I wish there was a little more to them. We got takeout but it was quick, definitely good if you're looking for a quick bite to eat.

    This place was completely empty at Lunch. Bad sign. Simple Greek was a simply terrible Cava. What a wasted opportunity. There are zero authentic Greek places in this area and yet they choose to be a bowl place serving plain tasting mediocre food. Signs everywhere say changing things for the better. I find that very hard to believe but I hope so.

    Greek fries

    The Simple Greek was almost empty while the neighboring restaurants bustled with customers; I should have taken that as a sign that the 4-star Yelp average was misleading. But the menu sounded appealing, so I went in. Even though no one else was dining in when I got there, I had to scout around for a table that had been cleaned of crumbs from previous diners. I ordered a bowl with lentils as the base. The lentils looked like they'd formed a crust on top when he scooped them out of the warming pan; they'd probably been there for a while. I added falafel, some cucumber, olives, tomato, tzatziki and hummus. Overall it was just ok. The falafel didn't have that crispness with the steamy soft inside that a good, fresh one has. Maybe it had also been sitting too long. The taste of my dish wasn't bad, but it just didn't seem fresh or particularly appealing. I also ordered the Greek Fries. They were ready right away, because the fries were already cooked, being kept in a container. Maybe they were being kept warm or maybe thrown in the microwave to reheat? They were oily and limp -- you know, the way fries get when they are overdone and turn translucent and brown. Feta cheese and some barely discernible oregano were sprinkled on top. I ate about a third of the fries before I realized they were giving me no pleasure in exchange for the calories, so the rest went in the bin. Overall, The Simple Greek is not a place I'd come back to.

    Pita with veggies and gyro

    The food here is fine. The Simple Greek is a franchise, so they can't help the food, which is too bad, because the staff and franchisee were so friendly and nice that I wish the food was better. It's just kinda bland. I had a pita with hummus, gyro, vegetables, and feta and it was OK. I did like the Greek fries as those were crisp and tasty. The prep area was a little messy and the lettuce was browned, so that wasn't great either. I was hoping for better Greek, as there really isn't any in Arlington.

    Salad with chicken gyro.  The chicken gyro was a bit dry - I say go for the traditional gyro instead.

    Fast-casual Greek offering up healthy salads with bold Mediterranean flavors. The Roslyn-Clarendon corridor is awash in salad joints, with new arrival Simple Greek joining Sweet Green, Chop't, Roti, Cava, and Sweet Leaf in an increasingly crowded marketplace. Simple Greek distinguishes itself with bold flavors and some unique ingredients, and has earned a place in my rotation. SG follows the standard fast-casual playbook: pick your form (pita, salad or rice bowl), your protein, then add toppings. But it offers some distinctive protein choices, like the traditional gyro, which you won't find elsewhere. The gyro is juicy and well-seasoned, and offers enough heartiness to make the salads filling. Flavorful toppings include garlic green beans, village salad (cucumber, tomato and red onion, marinated in oil and vinegar), kalamata olives, feta cheese, roasted red peppers, mildly spicy pepperoncini, hummus, tzatziki, etc. Is this the best Greek food you'll ever eat? No, but at this price point you can't expect that. SG offers healthy, natural food that's tasty and boldly flavored, served quickly and at a reasonable price. If places like this continue to displace the burger and pizza joints of yesteryear, it's all to the good, says I.

    True to its name, The Simple Greek serves up straightforward Greek food that you can feel good about. Stopped by for take-out today on opening day. Decided on a bowl (you start off with either a pita or a bowl) with lentils and traditional gyro meat, garlic green beans (loved these) and selected my add-ons (tomato/cucumber mix, butter pepper and kalamata olives). Added a dolma to boot. Given that it was opening day decided to treat myself to the rizogalo (rice pudding) as well for desert which was exceptionally fresh tasting. Wow. The entire meal was great and I look forward to sampling through the rest of the menu. The gyros look and smell amazing. . . The atmosphere is clean and airy; staff is cheery; location has a parking lot; service was efficient, taking me just a couple of minutes to get through my order. Will definitely be adding The Simple Greek to my lunchtime circuit! If you are in search of a healthy whole food meal, look no further.

    The customer service her was phenomenal!!! You can't beat it. It can't help that I visited right before the lunch rush which was great as I was in and out with my takeout pretty quickly. The place is spotless and the servers were more than happy to answer all my many questions and let me taste some of the optional sauces before deciding. I also like that they have a loyalty program that works with your phone number and a offer military discount. I got a bowl with mostly greens and sliced lamb which can see turning on the rotisserie. There's also a private lot with parking for patrons which I appreciated. There's also a nice selection of baklava and sweets to soothe your sweet tooth. Unfortunately, it was a full day of Keto eating for me which this totally met. I'll definitely visit again when I'm in the area.

    Nice staff. Portions were good sized but food was a little lacking in flavor. We had hummus, salads and chicken. Not sure I would go back.

    Delicious - I had a chicken bowl, and every individual ingredient was flavorful and the combination was great! Will be back.

    Fresh ingredients and good gyro. A bowl is a pretty good meal. They add lots of ingredients of your choice.

    The service was wonderful -- all of the employees were friendly, happy, and kind. The atmosphere…read morewas really welcoming, and they were very accommodating. The food was good! I got the chicken shawarma bowl. The roasted cauliflower was definitely the best part of the bowl! The mint lemonade was also AMAZING and one of my favorite things I ordered. It's such a cute spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. I would definitely go again!

    It's been a few weeks now since my visit but I can still remember and taste the fresh ingredients…read more It's a small shop in del ray but with plenty of seating inside and outside. The staff and extremely friendly. They were so welcoming and really patient with us as we had lot of questions. Even gave us a sample of their lemonade which was refreshing and so delicious had as craving more! Complimented the food so well. We all were so full by the end of our meal but wish we didn't so we could have more. You can tell everything is made in house with so many veggie toppings which I love!! You can get as much toppings as you want, either into a wrap, bowl, or salad. 10/10 recommend!! We also tried the cookies. She said to give them 6 or 8 minutes (can't remember) and they will be ready. Cookies are fresh fresh and always warmed up per order. They were perfect. If you go to their website they have a rewards program check it out first!!

    Whoever Omar is, someone give that man a hug! Flavorful and refreshing menu for a quick late night…read morebite. Visiting the DMV area to see a show at The Wharf, staying in a hotel nearby this place and wow, glad I stopped in. More impressed by how everything was still mad fresh even with ordering at 11:30pm. (They close at 12am.) Service was smooth, mans who took my order helped me and wifey navigate the menu in a firm but friendly way. Clean spot. Tidy drink frig. And they had those cold Arizonas on deck. I had the Jerk Chicken Platter. Wife had the Chicken platter no onions. Fries and of course a Fruit Punch Arizona. The jerk chicken was on point. Not too spicy not bland. Not necessarily Jamaican jerk but still valid. Chicken was cooked perfectly tho. Fries are just fries nothing special there. I'd give this spot a very solid 4.9 Took off one point for those fries. Bangin! Would definitely make my way back here for lunch next time I'm in town.

    This is definitely a go-to spot if you're looking for quality flavor and value for your money…read more We usually do a mixed platter with chicken and lamb, lettuce tomato onion, and sauces on the side. Omar's signature and white are our favorites, but know that you can order unlimited sauces. "Don't be shy" they say. Flavors are balanced, and the portion size is generous. For those with a medium sized appetite, a platter could last you two meals. Service is pretty quick, but know if there is a line or mobile orders, you could be waiting between 5-10 minutes. Parking is limited and seating is only outdoors. It's nice to eat outside when the weather is right - they have string lights! They're also open until 1am which is nice if you need a late night option (most places around here close at 9 or 10pm). I recommend giving Omar's a try!
