The Big Greek Cafe

I feel like every day I find a new place in the beautiful Laurel, Maryland!😁 I didn’t realize that we had a Mediterranean spot! They keep adding more and more good restaurants in the area.

I walked into this lovely café and met Oscar, who greeted me with an amazing smile! I placed my order and I waited for about 10 minutes.
I wasn’t sitting to dine. You could do that if you wanted to. They have about five sets of tables and chairs.

Let’s talk about the food! It was great! I ordered the Big Greek feast that consisted of beef, chicken, pork. I added sides of french fries, steamed vegetables and rice. It was seasoned well and the flavors were mouthwatering.

I will definitely recommend this place! 🌺🙌🏽

We had 2 gyros, the Greek fries, new greek honey old bay wings, and the stuffed grape leaves. The food was phenomenal and I eat a lot of gyros, this was up there with the best ive had but definitely the best so far in laurel. The only thing I didn't like was you are charged separately for everything, drink, fries, extra sauce, etc. Combo meals would be a plus. I'll definitely be back...

The big Greek cafe in Laurel MD was bomb! The customer service was amazing! Oscar was very helpful as we decided to what we wanted we ordered 2 Lamp Chop meals 26.00 it came with 2 sides we broccoli/carrots , fries and the big Greek fries and salad and we got falafel as an appetizer (4 pc.) 8.00. All dishes come with pita bread and Tzatziki which was delicious! Everything was fresh and made to order! We ate inside it’s a smaller cafe so it was a little cold due to the door opening. Other than that it was clean restroom was also clean. We spent about 60.00.

The atmosphere was lovely and the servers were so niceeee. I would 100% go back because the food was so bomb. It felt so nice to be in such a quiet and inviting place and STILL have their food taste exquisite. The only thing that I have to complain about is that the refill drinks tasted like tap water, but apart from that, you won't regret the food!

The Big Greek Cafe is a cool spot in Laurel for Greek food. I stumbled upon the location because I mistook it for Yia Yia's further down the road thinking it was a new/updated version. I was later proved wrong lol when I drove further down Baltimore Ave. But I digress.

The gentleman who assisted me and took my order was very pleasant and if this review was only for him, BGC would be swimming in my praise. Banter was great and he was just all around friendly.

The food was tasty, but everyone who ate it got sick. Once is a coincidence, but four people is a pattern. I ordered 3 gyros and baklava (shared mine with another person which explains why 4 people ended up ill). We all had varying stomach responses from full on loose stool to stomach cramping.

I would be cautious about visiting and eating the food as there appears to be a hygiene problem in the kitchen or with the actual food.

6/26 Update: I emailed them on 6/12 per their request and have not received any sort of acknowledgement. I also completed their contact form on the website reporting that everyone who ate there got sick and still no response/acknowledgement.

The place is small but MIGHTY in flavor & service. Love the traditional Gyro..but the Greek Fries are a nice twist with feta and “Greek” seasoning…so watch out McDonald’s!

Big ups and three snaps to Emerson for his charming personality and awesome customer service! You make this place shine… did I mention they have rice pudding?
