18 Best Greek Restaurants near Glen Head

“Gyro Station of Glen Head is seriously the best little spot in the neighborhood. I can't get enough of their outdoor seating; it just adds a cozy vibe to the whole experience. And let me tell you, their chicken souvlaki is a game-changer. They go against the norm and use chicken thigh instead of boring old breast, and oh boy, it makes all the difference. The chicken is so dang juicy and tender, it practically melts in your mouth.Whenever I'm hosting a party, I always turn to their catering menu. Trust me, my guests are blown away by the food. The flavors, the presentation, everything is on point. It's like having a five-star restaurant right in my backyard.But you know what really sets Gyro Station apart? The owner, Vasili. That guy is a gem. He's always there, working his tail off, and he genuinely cares about his customers. He'll chat you up, make you feel welcome, and you can just tell he pours his heart and soul into this place. Supporting Gyro Station feels like supporting a friend, and that's why I keep coming back.If you haven't been to Gyro Station of Glen Head yet, you're seriously missing out. Treat yourself and go grab a seat outside. You won't be disappointed.“

“Went to Blue Waters on a Saturday night. Definitely suggest making a reservation which we had because it is tight but cozy. Food was delicious. We had the Greek salad, branzino and salmon. baklava for dessert. Drinks were yummy too! Only negative was music a little too loud.“

“Incredibly homey service and atmosphere!! Everything was delicious and very fresh. The dips and platters were absolutely unforgettable, vibrant flavors and amazing balance in taste — not a single complaint first time going! (those lemon potatoes are nothing less than mind blowing) Everything tasted completely authentic and don’t skip on the Greek hot coffee, made over sand and very rich tasting. The deserts also were an extremely satisfying end to a meal, being very rich and delectable. Service was wonderful, giving all customers a friendly and comforting welcome, making everything feel natural and inviting.“

“First time trying this place and I can see why it has so many 5* reviews. I got their beef & lamb gyro with a side of pita bread. Everything was fresh and flavorful. I also love the fact that they put fries inside the gyro! Staff was also nice, I will be returning. 5*“

“Herb & Olive Mediterranean is one the best Mediterranean, strike that, one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in a long time. Artistically designed with an open counter facing the street for drinks and dining, a high ceiling and plenty of open space, displays of imported delicacies, freshly prepared takeout and pastries as you walk in (we were there last night and the front was open which was great) give way to a sit down eatery reminiscent of a Greek taberna. Our server Katerina was helpful, engaging, and took a genuine interest in my group. The food is perfectly prepared by Chef Phil. His tzatziki has just the right seasonings, the beet, almond, and goat cheese salad is perfect and plentiful, the roasted veggies and lemon potatoes are fresh, crispy, and light. My roasted salmon (with an extraordinary glaze) was the most delicious I’ve ever tasted. My sister loved her pesto. And, the cocktails that we had — white wine sangria and tequila with watermelon, cucumber and lime, we’re totally refreshing. Kudos to owner Julia for this fantastic restaurant. We will be back many times!!“

“Honestly super duper impressed with the quality of food & service we received. At work we will have a catered lunch maybe once a month and it is not easy to coordinate & get great food for an office of 50+ people. But they really got it right! Food came hot, on time, and they very generously provided serving utensils, plates & cutlery. I heard they even called to make sure everything was good which I think is the first of all the resturaunts we had catered. Food: we got the greek salad, rice, lemon potatoes, chicken souvlaki, gyro, falafel, tzatziki & falafel. Everything was super fresh & delish. -- salad had big chunks of feta & some grape leaves. I do wish the salad dressing had more acid(?) because the meal was a bit heavier but overall super fresh!! -- rice to me was a little soggy but some coworkers said they liked the rice and it was super fluffy for them so i think its more about personal prefernce. -- lemon potatoes has a great lemon flavor and was not overcooked. Lemon potatoes are one of my favorite things and this definitely made the list of some of the best. -- chicken came in big chonks and was a pretty moist; and considering i took one of the top pieces from the giant tray for 50 people and it was better than i expected. Only thing is that it felt a little bland? Bit it had great sear and was plentiful! -- gyro was not too salty which is a huge deciding factor me if a greek place is good! It was NOT undercooked in any way but i personally like the burnt bits so i took some leftovers home and airfried it and it was amaaazing. -- falafel was much bigger than i expected - like a golfball? Maybe bigger? Outside was crunchy and the inside still moist and was probs the best falafel i had in monthss. I personally prefer falafel thats not as coarse but again thats a personal prefernce and did not stop me from having a bunch. -- the tzatziki was thiccc like hard to scoop thick. It was honestly amazing! We got some extra lemons so i did thin mine out a bit and i think that helped add a lot of brightness to the meal. Overall- definitely think it will be made part of the rotation and I will definitely consider ordering on my own for lunch to try some of their other menu items“

“Had an AMAZING time. It was the kids' first time having Greek food, and they loved it! ??Everything was soooooo good. Typically, I like to get grilled chicken with lemon potatoes, but since we went during brunch, I opted for the grilled chicken skewers with the rice pilaf. My husband had the fish of the day which was the branzino, and the kids shared the steak. (The chimichurri sauce was so good).For dessert, the mango sorbet was so refreshing and tropical and the galaktoboureko was a treat indeed as well.Will definitely be back! The staff and service were great, and the decor was beautiful! ?. I loved everything about it. Definitely recommend.“

“For me, consistency is a major factor when it comes to choosing where to eat. Gyrolicious is consistently serving up some of the best Greek food I've had outside of Astoria, and the staff is always very welcoming. The portions are very generous, and never lack in flavor. You can tell they really take pride in serving their customers and the quality of the food they put out. Absolutely recommend!“

“The restaurant is in a low traffic area and seems to do decent with takeout. I haven't seen anyone sit down yet each time I went. Restaurant looks pretty clean and full of space. The folk working here are pretty nice. Portion sizes are either lunch or dinner size for your platters. Even the lunch size is a good size portion enough for one person. The dinner size is enough for two people. When we ordered the lunch size for gyro, we had a choice of either a salad or a soup for the first side which is separate from the gyro and there is a second side that goes along with the gyro, so you can pick one of the following fries, rice, lemon potatoes or grilled vegetables. The container is filled about 80% full with grilled pita.When we ordered the dinner size for gyro, its the same as lunch but you can pick two of the sides that go along the gyro. This is effectively filling your container all the way to the top at 100% filled with grilled pita. Recently it appears they increased this to up to three sides, but I imagine they will just reduce the portion size of each side if you pick three but would still fill the container full.The Greek salad is good and the soups we tried were also good. The gyros and chicken souvlaki were on point.“

“Some of the best greek food I've ever had in my life!!! On top of that, definitely best customer service I've ever experienced. Some of the nicest people I've ever been served by!!!! Would 100% recommend this place and will definitely be going back frequently from now on! Thank you guys!!! - Jason G“

“Just ate here for the first time tonight after my in laws raved about it (they grew up in Oyster Bay). The food is delicious and the portions are large and reasonably priced. The owner is the sweetest guy. I don't know how he doesn't have people lined up out the door. Definitely a must when in Bayville!“

“What a pleasant surprise to find this place in Port Washington. The restaurant is very classy. Great ambiance. Staff is super professional and courteous, and the food did not disappoint. Ordered the lobster a la carte, and the 3 course prix fix dinner which is a great deal for $39. The lobster was perfect. I ordered the branzino, mildly seasoned but extremely tasty with rice and spinach. I also had a glass of Pinot. very smooth. This location seems to have a second floor balcony for private parties. We will most likely be coming back. It's is so worth it for a day trip.“

“Great food. The Plain Tart yogurt is second to none. You can't find that kind of quality tart yogurt anywhere else. I literally came from work in the Bronx straight to Mamaroneck to pick up a Quart of the Plain Tart. They make it in-house, and its consistently a top quality product. I would highly recommend Esy Kafe.“

“Of all the Greek restaurants I've ever eaten, this was the one that suited my taste the best. It wasn't too salty or spicy, but it had enough flavor of Greek food. The interior was luxurious and the service was very good. A perfect place to have dinner with good people.“

“I stumbled upon this hidden gem, right next to Manhasset Movies, on a pouring rainy day. I ordered their Bowl and it was AMAZING! All the ingredient was soooo FRESH! And the portion was so generous! Atmosphere of the restaurant is very warm, CLEAN, and welcoming. Staff is very friendly and courteous. This is a very cute cozy spot serving HONEST food to customers. I will definitely come back here and bring my friends as well. WE NEED MORE RESTAURANTS LIKE THIS IN OUR WORLD.“

“This is the third time we take our food at Fez. Before this we tried meze sampler, baba gannoush and chicken wrap. The food here is very tasty and the portions are quite big. A few days ago we also went to the store itself, there are a lot of interesting products and a great selection of oriental sweets. I am definitely happy with this find and we will go back there more than once. I also absolutely recommend a visit.“

“The food here is very good. We started out with the spread sampler - roasted eggplant with garlic, parsley & extra virgin olive oil, spicy whipped feta cheese with roasted red peppers, garlic & Potato puree with extra virgin olive oil & citrus and greek Yogurt With Garlic, cucumber & extra virgin olive oil. All four spreads were delicious. We split two small plate dishes; slow cooked Lamb Spare ribs, herbs & lamb jus served with tzatziki and fresh spinach with Imported Feta & dill wrapped in baked crispy filo dough. All was delicious. The service was great. The restaurant was very nice. I would definitely recommend this Greek restaurant.“

“The food was excellent! Had the Fried Calamari (but you can order grilled), and the Mediterranean Octopus salad. Both were good but we all really loved the octopus! We had the Mixed Grill which consists of lamb chop, pork chop, skirt steak and chicken. menu says "serves 2" but it easily fed 4, and I don't think I'll finish what I took home in one sitting! Also had the Mixed Grill Vegetable which goes well obviously with the protein dish. Had a Greek beer and a glass of Greek red wine. Very friendly service: the bartender, greeter, our waiter, all gave good vibes. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“
