31 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.“

“I had to take my cat to the vet in the area and stopped by Greek Xpress twice and the blonde woman with glasses who works there or maybe owns the place is so kind and caring and provides great service. I also love all the gluten free options.“

“Nestor and the Gyro Bar team deserve 10 stars! We always enjoy their authentic, delicious Greek specialties and recently, they outdid themselves with a PTA Staff Appreciation Lunch at Oceanside Middle School. The food was outstanding and the school staff were super appreciative of the variety of choices. Plus, it was so nice to hear the staff talk about how they love the Gyro Bar just as much as we do. With generous portions and reasonable prices, Gyro Bar is our #1 choice for tasty Greek cuisine!“

“Food is delicious“

“The food and drinks were delicious! I encourage you to visit and order with an open mind. Don’t expect the flavors to match what you’re used to because they won’t. The service was great, and we truly felt this is a place where we’d love to just relax and hang out.“

“About an hour ago I ordered food from B Greek kitchen in Lynbrook. You could go read my review on their page for how horrible that experience was. That being said I ended up canceling it and ordering from this place whose name I can’t even pronounce. Let me tell you something the food was ready in 10 minutes more delicious than I ever could’ve imagined and service was super friendly. I will 100% be back. Especially considering the time the other place was taking to make my food was longer than the drive to this one and back.“

“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“

“Delicious food. Loved the shrimp gyro“

“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.“

“Al Kababi is hands down one of the best spots for authentic Pakistani food. The moment you walk in, you’re hit with these amazing aromas that just get you excited for what’s coming. The fact that it’s Zabiha makes it even better, knowing everything is halal and carefully sourced. The food? Incredible. We started with the beef Bihari, and they were so juicy and packed with flavor—just the right amount of spice and served with this fresh mint chutney that tied everything together. The biryani, which was perfection. The rice was fragrant, and the meat was super tender, with all those spices working in harmony. The real star, though, was their Amazing Nihari. It tasted homemade, like something you’d get at a family gathering. The spices were bold but balanced, and the meat was cooked to perfection. You could tell they put real love into this dish.
And let’s not forget the naan—soft, warm, and just the right texture to scoop up all the delicious flavors. The staff was so friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers. If you’re craving real Pakistani food, Al Kababi should be at the top of your list. As it is my first time being here, I was blown away by all these delicious flavors. This definitely won’t be my last time. Highly recommend! 5 STARS!“

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