“Abu Zayn’s crispy beef laffa was straight fire and the chicken one as well I prefer the red meat it’s perfectly seasoned, juicy on the inside with that insane crunch on the outside. Honestly one of the best wraps I’ve had in a while. The portions hit, the flavors are bold, and everything tastes fresh. If you’re sleeping on this spot, you’re missing out easily a go-to when I’m craving something light Arab satisfying, and actually worth the money. Yea it’s pricey but worth it.“

“Greek Cove Merrick’s lunch special is incredible. Ate the warm pita in the car on the way home! Grilled chicken with a salad and rice. One huge chicken cutlet over a generous portion of delicious rice and a tasty Greek salad- with a grape leaf and feta! I am a very picky eater but this chix was seasoned beautifully, so that if garlic, onion or rosemary(my triple threat) was used, it all blended together perfectly so that even I could not pick out the offensive spice. Amazingly, the yogurt sauce is also tasty( I hate yogurt sauce;usually throw it away). Forgot to tell them not to give it to me, so as not to waste it, but I’m glad I forgot! All of this, and a lot of smiling happy employees, for $12.99 cash. Wowza.“

“Ever since I found this place, its the ONLY place around work I’ll go to for lunch. I once had something pop up immediately after picking up my greek salad there, and only had a chance to eat 7 hours later, after it had turned into a soggy mess. You know what: IT STILL BANGED! Deeply loyal, 10/10, two thumbs up, enthusiastically recommend“

“Great food! Will order again!“

“Didn’t know what to have for dinner on Good Friday-no meat. Greek Xpress didn’t disappoint. Ordered grape leaves, spinach pie, the family platter which consisted of plat based gyro, spinach pie, falafel and zucchini fritters and an order of grilled vegetables. Food is plentiful and tasty. We really enjoyed it.“

“Had gyro from here a few times. Im a guy who is very difficult to impress, but this gyro was different. The food is really good quality and made fresh. The workers have good morals and respect for the customers. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a gyro addiction. 10/10“
