38 Best Greek Restaurants near Merrick

“Pros: Super friendly staff, order was ready on-time, fresh generous portions that are truly delicious! Cons: really none, but don't expect a fancy dining room, its a take-out place, looks like pizza place decor-wise, cone for the food not the atmosphere.“

“Stopped in after a wonderful recommendation from my good friend, Garrett. I thought I was in Greece, then I met the family. What a pleasure. Smiles everywhere. The atmosphere, the food and the wine was tops but the service was the best. I think there was a handsome model named Christian was working that night. Not only was he handsome but delightful as well. My daughter and my wife insisted we return.“

“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.“

“Just went to Greek City Grille and ordered the chicken souvlaki platter with lemon potatoes. The chicken is perfectly seasoned and the lemon potatoes were absolutely amazing. The staff was extremely friendly and the place was so clean and decorated beautifully. Will definitely be coming back!“

“We had such a lovely evening at Philia. The drinks were excellent. Everyone loved all the food we ordered. Chicken Kebabs were delicious and fresh. Mykonos shrimp was also very tasty and perfectly portioned. Lamb chops were a highlight of the meal as well. We had a birthday in our group and they were so kind to sing happy birthday with dessert. I normally don't care for cheesecake but wow the cheesecake here is amazing. Overall pleasantly surprised and satisfied with our meal and service. We will definitely be back!“

“Ugh YUM!! The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the gyro mixed platters with rice and lemon potatoes and every bite made my taste buds sing! We also had the egg lemon soup, which is authentically Greek and tastes like home. Thank you for your hospitality and welcoming atmosphere. We look forward to coming back for more!“

“Good food and service. Great gyros.“

“Hands down best food in Oceanside! Always consistent, great prices, large portions, clean, and authentic. The owner is so nice and personable. If I order delivery late night I know it will still be fresh and the owner delivers it to me on his way home and refuses tip or gives it to his employees. Go there a few times and you will be treated like family.“

“We spent our 25th wedding anniversary at Kyma and it did not disappoint! It was more than just dining- it was a whole experience! The service was phenomenal as was the foo, from the appetizers to the dessert. We ordered the Agean special. The watermelon salad was one of my favorites! After the meal, they brought us two beautifully prepared desserts. And then before we left, the manager spent time talking to us and getting to know us on a more personal level. It was really special evening and I highly recommend Kyma!“

“I always order from Greek Cove, the food is excellent and portions are big. I order a half tray of the grilled chicken this weekend and it came with salad , tzatziki and pitas ..there was so much grilled chicken that my guest all took home leftovers! Also is was delicious!“

“Blue Waters Mediterranean Cuisine is truly a hidden gem — and not for long. With their stunning renovation and expanded menu, it’s clear they’re on the path to major success. What truly sets this place apart is the consistency: exceptional food, outstanding service, creative and delicious cocktails, and an atmosphere full of personality and warmth. Every visit feels special, making you want to come back again and again. From the first bite to the last sip, everything is done with care and passion. I honestly can’t recommend this place enough — an unforgettable dining experience you don’t want to miss.“

“Food is delicious“

“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“

“Probably the best lamb gyro I’ve had in many many years. They don’t burn it. It was like Butter! Delivery was on time, even though I’m in Oceanside not East Rockaway. My first time ordering and I will order from them again without any doubt. They put everyone else that I’ve eaten from to shame. Thank you, GREEK XPRESS!“

“Very fresh food. Everything we ordered was delicious. Reasonably priced too. We will probably use their catering for our next party.“

“first time 5-25-23. very disappointed. spent $15.20 and barely got any food.small scoop of white rice and chicken scraps in a pita. not worth my time going there.“

“Today I tried the half lemon chicken from Avli, and I have to say, it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend giving it a shot—definitely a great addition to their menu!“

“Great food. People are really nice as well.“

“Hands down one of the best Gyros I have had. For sure the best in Nassau! I have tried a lot of different places, throughout the county, Abe’s definitely is the best, they stuff it with meat, just the right amount of toppings and sauce. Give it 10/10 for me highly recommend!“

“The BEST Gyro I’ve ever had. Fast service. Tzatziki was delicious and they didn’t skimp on the amount they put on the Gyro. Then the manager brought out a Greek yogurt with cherries desert that was amazing!! Highly recommend this restaurant. I wish I didn’t live 1,000 miles away.“

“I was here yesterday, ordered Chicken Karahi, Kebabs, Chicken Tikka with Naan. Everything was delicious and closer to the perfection. Raita and special Spicy Onions made things more delicious. I will definitely visit again to try other dishes. One more thing which i liked, there werr no mandatory service charges, you can tip whatever you want to. Beautiful small space with Quality Food. Please owners keep it like that. Thank You“

“I happened to be in the area from out of town and stopped in for a bite to eat. The gyro, grape leaves and baklava were outstanding! Staff was very friendly. Highly recommend 10/10. Thank you!“

“I ordered a specialty chicken pizza, a steak and shrimp gyro and zeppoles...honestly the pizza and gyros were delicious but i had been craving zeppole and they were horrible. My jaw hurt trying to chew them, they were so hard probably refried and not fresh. Sadly ordered 2 orders and had to throw both out ?“

“Husband & I were in the area & decided to stop in for lunch today & glad we did. I had the Lamb Gyro, came w/french fries & Beef Barley soup. Soup was delicious. Gyro had plenty of meat (lamb) w/lettuce, tomatoes & onions. All very fresh. Husband had Falafel which he said was absolutely delicious. We had a great lunch. The staff were very nice and attentive & restaurant was cheerful & clean. We will definitely be coming back to try their dinner next time. Highly recommend Opa Grille.“
