Friendly service, amazing Horiatiki salad!! And their spanakopita is really good along with their gyros. Highly recommended!

I've come on a Friday and Saturday twice and both times it has been closed. The first time on an extended trip in Greece and then now staffing shortages. I wish they would update Google when they are closed.

I’ve been staying in Concord for a few weeks and noticed this sign that said ‘The Greek Cafe’. I finally was able to try it and ran into Zoe! She recommended the chicken pita with a side a chips. My next visit I’m definitely planning on visiting again simply because of the service. Thank you Zoe for being warm and kind.

Food mainly taste likes prefrozen or premade food being "remade" and plated. Ordered a combo appetizer, came with nice items, but the cost was not worth the quantity or quality, all frozen food being dropped in a fryer. Humus tasted premade or made poorly. The Gyro had way too much red onion and the meat portion was slight. Nothing tasted bad, but for the money, it's probably not a redo for us. Salads were roughly chopped and sloppily plated, huge chunks for feta being dumped from a plastic tub.

DO NOT GET THE MAHI PITA. Fries are always good. The mahi was frozen pre breaded. No flavor at all. 3 skinny pieces This should’ve been $8. I received 4 tomato bites. Really disappointing. My girl said the falafel wrap keeps getting smaller. I rather them said they didn’t have enough food to go

Great Greek food and pleasant staff. If you haven't tried it, you should! We had a plaka plate and it was yummy!

The food is great, shout-out to the kitchen, but the lady at the counter is always super rude, and always forgets to add extra sauces, even though you have to pay $2 per sauce! So she made me lose $10 this visit because she would rather sit on her phone than do her job.

Our food was very fresh and everything came out hot. We loved the falafel, chicken pita, and Greek rice bowl with chicken. The hummus and tzatziki were both very flavorful and vegetables tasted fresh. This restaurant was a pleasant surprise and we will be back to try more of the menu!Vegetarian options: There seemed to be plenty of options on the menu that would suit a vegetarian. For example, the Greek rice bowl can be ordered without meat and with veggies only or with falafel.Dietary restrictions: When we were seated, our server offered to show us any options on the menu that may suit allergies or dietary restrictions. They seem very willing to work with their customers special dietary needs.Kid-friendliness: A lot of the indoor tables are booths which are nice for dining with kids. The kids menu had several options including pita pizza, chicken nuggets, grilled cheese and pita cheeseburger that I can see my child enjoying.

We go here for lunch quite a bit. Food & service is good. But call ahead to make sure that they are open. Several times they have been short staffed & were closed. The falafel rice bowl is awesome as well as the spanakata pie.Parking: Lots of lunch options so parking is available but not always convenient. But worth it.

I like the Mama Mia salad. However. $13 for such a very little salad is ridiculous. I can get a Greek Gyro salad from Showmars for $11 and it is way bigger than this salad.

DO NOT SUPPORT THIS ESTABLISHMENT!!!!Today, Sept. 5, 2023 at11:52 am. My sister who happens to be visiting from Michigan and I saw this restaurant and decided to give it a try. We were seated right away because there were no other customers at the time! We immediately ordered our food and drinks. As we became deep in conversation, we happened to notice that the tables were quickly filling up. We also noticed that they were ordering their food and getting their food before we were and we still had NO food! At 1:00pm, we mentioned to the waitress, Jordan, that we’d been there for over 1 hour and that we had not gotten our food! Jordan was extremely rude and blamed being short staffed. Which was a total lie because what does being short staffed have to do with who is served first! Jordan was plain rude, refused to offer any other explanation. I asked for the manager. I was told that there are no managers just workers and the owners. The owners are too busy to talk as they are “on the grill”! I asked for a phone number! Jordan said you can find it online! At this point, I’m livid! I cannot believe the way that Jordan treated us and then refused us access to complain! Believe it not, we paid for our drinks and we left. This place is not all that clean looking and is over priced. On top of that, the service that we received was beyond terrible! At least, know how to treat the customers and have someone available to handle such complaints!! DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS BUSINESS!!!!! The only reason I gave them 1 star is because there was not a option to choose zero stars. Short staffed is no reason to treat customers like garbage! I never got to taste the food so I can’t comment on that!

The wait staff is horrible here! We waits over one hour for our food & others who arrived after us were served. We were never served! When we asked about it, the waitress said they only had 3 people cooking. This did NOT explain why others that arrived after us received their orders & we never received ours! She repeatedly refused to answer our question as to why this had occurred. I will NEVER enter this poor excuse for a restaurant again!
