39 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.“

“Fresh, Friendly, and Fast!
This is my go-to spot for Greek takeout. The food is consistently fresh and flavorful—you can really tell they care about the ingredients. What sets them apart is the service; the staff is incredibly friendly and they always greet you with a genuine smile the second you walk in.
If you want high-quality Mediterranean food that’s ready on time and served by great people, this is the place! The cook really knows what he is doing.“

“Hola Buenas yo Busco trabajo De cocinero“

“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!“

“Omg excellent food, excellent service I wish I could give 10 stars, Nestor, the owner goes above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of. I highly recommend the sausage appetizer, best sausage I ever tried and everything else was excellent“

“As a Diner waitress for my entire career, I was pleasantly surprised at how lovely this Diner is. Great breakfast service and great food.“

“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.“

“First time dining here and overall a really solid experience. The food was enjoyable — the lemon orzo soup was comforting, the lamb gyro taco had great flavor, and the chicken kebab skewers was cooked well. Drinks were a standout, especially the dirty raspberry martini, which was excellent.

The vibe is casual and relaxed. There were a couple small service hiccups, but nothing that took away from the meal. Overall, we enjoyed it and would definitely come back again.“

“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“

“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!“

“This was the best Greek food . The take out food comes hot because they use these foil boxes. Spinach roll appetizer was amazing and chicken skewers with rice with twaztiki sauce amazing . Our new place to go to!“

“The empanadas were so good as were the sliders: we tried beer cheese, pulled pork and crab cake and they were all delicious and well seasoned“

“Great“

“I love this place 😊 Friendly“

“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.“

“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 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“

“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!“

“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.“

“This place does mainly a takeout business, there are 3 small tables to wait in if desired, but it is noisy and there is a lot of Doordash/uber eats activity in and out, and for good reason: the food is consistently excellent and the quantity served makes it a terrific value. The salads are terrific and we love that you can not only get chicken souvlaki chunks or chicken gyro meat on salads or platters and both are terrific. Tzatziki - amazing. If you're a fan of baklava, theirs is better than most bakeries around. Spanakopita is also excellent. Think of it is restaurant quality but in takeout form. We absolutely love the guys who run the place, very friendly, very gracious. There aren't that many Greek places in Nassau that hit it out of the park for us, but these guys do, every time. Go!“

“I went to check out the new location in Levittown after they closed their spot in Mineola. The new place looks great—clean, spacious, and welcoming.

I ordered my food to go, and it was ready by the time I got there. Everything was hot, freshly made, and delicious. I got the chicken souvlaki with grilled veggies, and it came with a small Greek salad. The portions are generous, and you definitely get your money’s worth.

The lamb gyro was also really good—tender, well-seasoned, and stuffed with meat. They definitely don’t skimp. The staff was super friendly, service was quick, and pickup was easy. Definitely worth the trip.“
