Extremely overpriced, $25 for a Gyro platter is insane!!!
Came here and walked right out the door, as soon as I saw those prices
You can definitely get the same type of food somewhere else or even with better quality, I do not recommend

Gyro doesn’t taste good for 14$. It’s too expensive for sliced lamb, pitta bread, lettuce and tomato. Do not recommend as lunch place for one person.

Ordered the falafel gyro from here and it was mediocre for the price. The falafel was a doughy chewy texture without much seasoning. Overall just wasn't good. Unlikely to come back. The Johnson Diner a few blocks over does a much better falafel gyro. Go there instead

I've been coming here (on/off) since it's opening. Overall, the food is pretty tasty and reasonably priced-- with the lentil soup being a featured star!

The moment you walk in, it feels like stepping into a small Greek city — the atmosphere is so authentic and welcoming. You can immediately feel the comfort of it being a family-run business. The owners and staff are incredibly kind and make you feel right at home. The traditional Greek food is absolutely outstanding — everything tasted so fresh and full of flavor. From the perfectly seasoned meats to the crisp, vibrant salads, every dish was a reminder of true, homemade Greek cooking. You can tell they put so much pride and heart into everything they serve. I can’t wait to come back!
First of all, I want to say this is the only business in the Riverdale area that treated me with understanding, like a human being deserves (during Covid-19 pandemic). If it wasn't for them, it would have made a bad period in my life even worse. That says a lot! The people who work here are likeable, down to earth, pleasant and friendly. Now in terms of the food, I don't eat certain things but don't hold that against me. The menu choices I like are: Manitari Gemisto (feta, spinach on a giant portobello mushroom). It is served hot and with all the ingredients blended together are a taste sensation. The Kolokithokeftedes are zucchini croquettes blended with cheese and herbs. This is very very good. Oddly I notice some similarity to potato latkes with this side dish though it is made completely differently. Their octopus is also very good. If you've never had octopus I find it has a similar taste to tuna fish but has a tougher consistency. Under salads, their Kritharaki has an interesting taste. The flow between oil and saltiness makes it more subtle yet different. It contains orzo, spinach, artichokes, olives, feta, sundried tomatoes and virgin olive oil. The artichoke taste really stands out. Their Mesogiaki salad is really satisfying, tasty and with ingredients well balanced together for a meal. It contains grilled halloumi cheese, baby greens, apple slices, walnuts and honey lemon vinaigrette sauce. My girlfriend likes their yogurt and lentil soup. I wish they would cook an authentic saganaki steak using kasseri rather than feta. The restaurant and its decorations feel like you are in Greece. I lived there. When there I feel am in relatable surroundings. Another thing, they need to do more making daily specials. They had this white bean soup that was excellent but have not served it in awhile. Perhaps they need to hire me as a cook to do more?

The next big thing besides traveling to Greece is dining here. The restaurant has a very warm and down-to-earth environment. While renovating our kitchen, we ate here several times and the ingredients were always fresh, and we experienced authentic Greek dishes.
Today are family ate at the Greek Express.
Great authentic Greek food. We enjoyed lamb and beef Gyros, grilled chicken Gyros, Falafel, lemon potatoes and topped it with Greek Beer. Peter and Mario hospitality was most full Hearted.
Thank you!!!
Just came from from having lunch here with my friends. It’s beautiful! We loved the food. The service was great. Definitely coming back.
Hard to find a good, authentic Greek restaurant in the Bronx/Lower Westchester. This place is very good, authentic Greek dishes, even Greek wine and beers. Great service, delightful owners. Highly recommended.
My parents ordered New Years Eve dinner from Greek Express and they loved it so much they asked me to write a review! They worked with Emmanuel at Greek Express to help them select menu items and quantities for 5 people (4 out of 5 Greeks)! They were so pleased with the final order. Everything was fresh and delicious and the pick-up went so smoothly. Looking forward to more delicious meals!
