We had them cater to a work event and I really loved the food at that time. I went back to their brick and mortar location on Maple with high expectations. I was happy to see that they had a few options for vegetarians so I went with the Falafel with Greek fries. The person told me it came with tomatoes and onions so I wasn't worried that there wouldn't be rice. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a bad decision. It was fried food over fried food and I could not eat more than a few bites. There were no onions I could taste and few very tiny pieces of tomatoes. My friend got a chicken souvlaki and said it was ok. Since partly it's my fault for getting the order that I did, I give them the benefit of doubt but it would be great if they increased the amount of vegetables in the vegetarian dishes. read more

Venus Greek & Mediterranean - Falafel with Greek Fries - Mediterranean Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Solid spot for greek food. Their more traditional dishes are actually better than the safer ones. Food is tasty but a bit pricey. Worth a stop if craving greek. read more

My new fav Greek in the area! I love getting the bowl with the beef which is like a chuck roast! With rice, tomato, lettuce, and their feta sauce! And pita bread! It's truly so delicious. They also brought food to the office I worked at one time for us to try it! read more

We stopped in here for lunch today. The place is really hidden, tucked away in the corner of the Plaza. Im.glad we found it! We ordered pita wraps. I got the chicken souvlaki, and my husband ordered the falafel. We both upped them to the larger mega wraps. Boy, oh boy, were they everywhere huge! I actually started eating mine with a fork as the ingredients were overflowing from the pita. Then, I was pleasantly surprised at how much chicken was in my pita. There was actually almost more chicken than lettuce or feta cheese. Plus, it was tender & seasoned nicely. We both ended up with half fir tomorrow's lunch. The service was good and friendly. We'll definitely need to get back here for those greek fries that actually won as Best Overall Item at the Taste of Buffalo. Congrats on that! 2024-21 read more

Very good food. I ordered a Falafel Pita Wrap that had pleanty of Falafel in it. They sliced open and butterflied the Pita Bread to have enough to wrap around all the great ingredients. They then either pressed in a Panini Maker. To give it those nice toasty marks. I will definitely be going back. read more

~ She's got it. Yeah, baby, she's got it. ~ If by it you mean what it takes to make two ladies happy on a plan B dinner date that is. We'd had a yen for greek food, but with our original choice closed for the night, I'd found this place as a suitable backup plan. If only finding the actual location had been easier. I'm blaming this on the GPS and Monday night traffic. It is a bit hidden in the corner of a restaurant filled plaza. The sign, unlike the interior doesn't catch your attention. Once you step inside your world lights up with orange walls and turquoise tables and a giant chalk wall that was too full to make our mark on. Family Feud highlight clips play on the tv as background noise. There's a menu on the wall, along with a printed version on the counter for us nearsighted folk. Also for us inquisitive folk who like to point at what they are asking about while a helpful woman take their orders. She was also quick and compliant to separate our bills and take our cash. It seemed that she was also doing the kitchen work. The place wasn't all too busy (only saw one doordasher come to grab takeout) so it seemed like a small operation. I was able to peek into the no-door kitchen to see her assembling the dishes into takeout containers, watching as steam filled the room. She asked if we were staying. You can, despite seeming more like a to go place, so she brought over buckets of napkins and forks before retreating to the kitchen. We took what we needed and left the rest on the counter to make elbow room. There were no knives, as my friend noticed, not that they were necessary with everything in mouth sized bites already. I personally got the greek salad for $10. The temptation was high to add falafel (she said it was deep fried), but instead I opted to add on a pita for an additional dollar. It's eight inches of soft, warm bread cut into triangles. It pairs well with the white garlic sauce that she agreed to put on the side for me. I loved the sauce and honestly want to buy it for home, as the viscosity was great, clinging to the fork without clumping on. I'm also a sucker for garlic, unlike the greek dressing I was also given. I'm not big on oil based things, and felt slightly bad for not using mine as she fills the containers to the brim. There was ample lettuce chopped to fill the eight inch container, with chunks of fresh tomato and slivers of onion. There was a healthy dose of feta cheese that did not overpower everything, yet assured me that I wasn't getting ripped off. I did only get three black olives and two small pepperoncini, but considering what I got, I'm not complaining. My friend got the beef venus bowl. They make half a salad and half a bowl of rice, combining them into one tasty looking dish. The white rice was fluffy, tucked under the meat to absorb the flavor. Her bowl was preassembled with less pita than mine. She seemed thrilled, glad to find a greek place that does things right. It's a thing with her, so this accolade should not be taken lightly. She saved half for the next day's lunch as they feed you plenty. So thank you Venus, for feeding me my desire. read more

We didn't like this place. The options are limited. A chicken souvlaki is basically crumbly white chicken that had some flavor but not a lot. Shredded bagged lettuce a few pale tomatoes and a garlic sauce. No tzaki. No dill sauce. No banana peppers. No cucumbers. Go to pita gourmet and you'll have a much better experience. Basic room with a handful of tables. One person working that took twenty minutes for two pitas. read more

Very disappointed in the quality, I ordered a Greek wrap, the chicken was cold, and dry, the wrap was overloaded with lettuce and skimpy on everything else. Much better options out there read more

Ordered the Gyro platter for a takeout dinner and it was delicious. I had the option of fries or rice and I went with the rice option. Would return to try others things in the future. read more

Did you know that they have home made hot sauce? Because I've been going to the original location since it opened, and today, at this location, is the first I'm hearing of this! It's so freaking good! Anyway, shish tawook platter with hot sauce. It was awesome! It's just as delicious as the original location, but with home made hot sauce. Did I mention the hot sauce?! But yeah, clean, nice environment, staff was super friendly and nice, food was excellent and I'll be back next time I'm up this way. Probably for the hot sauce, haha! read more

Venus Greek & Mediterranean - Shish tawook over rice, with home made hot sauce! - Mediterranean Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Shish kabob wraps were dry with soggy ingredients in the wrap. Shwarma bowls - meat again extremely dry. Feta dip was not seasoned and just blah! Would not recommend ordering for delivery. Called the restaurant to let them know the only decent item was our side salads- however why black olives and not kalamata? read more

Everything looked delicious, a full menu with tons to choose from. However I wouldn't know what any of it tasted like; as I had none. While deciding what to order the preparer behind the counter explained "if you order anything it'll be an hour before you get your food." This is a take out spot. If they weren't ready to operate at full capacity, DONT OPEN. Absolute horrible start for a grand opening; and big disappointment. read more

The food was delicious. We ordered the shrimp bowl and chicken bowl as well as the chicken schwarma platter. All excellent!
