The Greek Spot

I’m a fat Chicago beef eater that’s been to Greece and ate traditional gyros in places like Brussels and NYC, and this place makes the best gyros ever. So good. That pita? OMG. Mama Mykonos, just mouth watering. Plus: Bonus points for the import. (Mythos is a good one, like a pilsner, very smooth and easy to drink.)

Came here for the first time because apparently it's a staple! Good for a quick bite to eat as it's a casual place with a few seats inside. You'll find your typical Greek menu options as expected. Pretty quick service, and no complaints there. The food wasn't bad! Nothing to write home about but got the job done and was reasonably priced!

Honestly the best steak and cheese I’ve ever had in DC point blank. Also one of the best I’ve ever had, and that’s not to be taken lightly I’d give it a solid 8.7/10. I ordered a regular steak and cheese, with provolone instead of American, with extra grilled onions and hot peppers. Amazing! Whatever bread they use for the sub is phenomenal. Also the seasoned fries hit the spot! Would’ve taken photos of the food but I was too hungry 🤣

Make sure you get fries in your gyro, not on the side. Trust me. This is hands down one of the best Greek restaurants we’ve been to in a long time. My wife is half Greek and we spend a lot of time in Greece every year, so we’re pretty picky. It’s genuinely hard to find a spot in the U.S. that holds up to what you get wandering around the Plaka in Athens, and this place actually does. Everything tastes fresh, simple, and done the right way! You can tell it’s Greek family-owned and that shows in both the food and the hospitality. Last time we were here I said Kalimera (good morning) and the owners lit up, little moments like that say a lot about a place. We’ll absolutely be back (again x 10). And don’t forget, fries in the gyro not on the side!

Ordered the salmon wrap and our was really good. I wasn't sure about the feta sauce that came with it but it was actually so rich. They put plenty of salmon on it so it was hearty and filling. The hot sauce went perfect on it! One thing I would ask is that the vegetables are fresher, would been nice to have bitten into a fresh, cold, crunchy. I also ordered the broccoli crunch salad which was also delicious. I tried the housemate humus and it was alright, little clumpy and not potently flavorsome enough for me. Needed more lemon, spice, or something. They have lots of other sides and options though. Service was excellent. The place is like an old house with outdoor seating. Highly recommend for lunch. Priced ok, could be slightly more affordable.
