Greek Deli & Catering is such a charming spot! The food is fresh, flavorful, and authentically Greek, with generous portions. The space feels cozy and welcoming, and the staff are friendly and attentive. Definitely a place I’d return to for a casual, chic meal.

Sad to see Kostas move on but the new owners are great and the recipes are just the same. Prices are high, but they always were, and they seem to be trying to make some more reasonable options.

The new owner uses the same recipes and it’s still good! The prices have also gone way down with the new owner. I was hesitant to try given mixed reviews but I’m happy to report Greek Deli is still good and worth the trip!

I used to go here all the time for lunch when I worked on K. I loved it! Everything I got was always amazing. I went back last week, and it wasn't as good. I used to get the gyro all the time and it was outstanding. The meat was tender and tasty, and on the pita with it was diced tomato, onion, and cucumber with fresh dill! The one I got last week was like any other gyro. The meat was good, though on the dry side. The tzatziki sauce seemed the same. On the pita with the meat, though, was just ice burg lettuce with a slice of onion and slice of tomato. It was fine, but not nearly as good.

I bought a Greek Salad w/meat. The WORST GREEK SALAD I EVER HAD!! First, they use iceberg lettuce! The worst lettuce in the world with no flavor or vitamins/minerals in it at all. For the price, we could at least have a better upgrade of lettuce! Second, there were only 2 small olives, 2 banana peppers, NO onions! Really! The salad dressing was TASTELESS and had absolutely NO (greek) vinagarette flavor at all, very horrible. The greek (white/yogurt) sauce was also TERRIBLE, absolutely NO flavor. And the price was $15.99. WOW. What a horrible salad! Never again!!!! The previous owners of this restaurant did not have a problem with their salads, at least they tasted Greek. I wouldn't dare try a real meal item with the prices they charge. HORRIBLE SALAD MAKERS!!

The traditional gyro is one of the best I've ever had - including when I went to Greece! Great spot for lunch. It's a little bit pricey, but for an independent restaurant with presumably expensive rent that has been here for 35 years, I'm happy to pay a little bit more than usual.

One of my favorite lunch spots in the downtown area - the gyro is absolutely to die for. I do wish prices were slightly lower (gyros start at $16), but I also understand it’s an independent restaurant in a high-rent area of DC. The owners are super sweet as well

Very delicious food! I visited and found the deli has new owners but was pleasantly surprised that the recipes are even better than before. Reminds me of my visit to Greece last year. Will definitely be back soon

Editing my review for Feb 2025: Kostas sold the business to some (non-Greek) people and the food sucks now. For these prices, I'm never coming back. $9 for a cup of avgolemono soup with sinewy scraps of chicken? No thanks. It's simple: The owners don't know how to cook Greek food. Even the once-incredible bread is now a crumbly disaster.

Surrounded by many other restaurants, don't overlook this tiny Greek fast-casual restaurant with a large menu of all the usual Greek fixings. I ordered their traditional gyro and it was the perfect amount of food and quite tasty. Since they don't give cups of water, I bought two bottles of water. My bill came to over $21. They also have a small fridge area with other goods and drinks. Inside is one table that sits two.

So happy to see the Greek deli weather COVID and come back strong. Enjoy the best avgolemono soup out there with soft, thick homemade bread and delicious hot meals and sandwiches. The soup and sandwich meals are about $25 but there is enough food for at least two meals. Enjoy.
This is a literal hole-in-the-wall establishment, so your only option is take out.
