Great place for some Greek food. The whole experience was great for us. Great service and delicious food, made just perfect. Our calamari were so perfectly made, so soft and so much flavor with really delicious marinara sauce. Lamb shank was cooked to perfection, very soft with perfect seasoning. What is outstanding is their kids menu. Love that options are not just fried chicken strips but really good options that our kids like.

We tried Ji Roz lastnight for the first time and it was amazing! We got the Lamb Board for an appetizer then we just got the Common Gyros. I got fries and my husband got the beets for our sides. I took home the Chocolate Hazlenut tart for desert later. Everything was delicious and well thought about. Zoe, our waitress, was knowledgeable and adorable!

I thought the food choices of small plates was varied and very good. Service was wonderful, paced the dishes bringing them out. Atmosphere needs help, too bright.

Enjoyed a gyro to go. $18 plus tip, for one gyro, is a bit pricey for my taste.

7/01/22 First time trying J-Roz A Greek Joint. Welcomed at the entrance by a smiling female hostess, we had dinner reservations for 6:30 p.m. confirmation emailed to us by Google. The restaurant is sunny, bright and beautifully decorated and has a view of North Main Street. There is a beautiful bar area that numerous people enjoyed during our visit. Our server tonight was Bryson. He was friendly, courteous answered our questions about drinks, appetizers, entrees, & desserts and quickly handled our requests. We loved the drinks, tried a Negroni, Caribbean Mules, and a North Carolina Bold Rock Apple Cider. For appetizers we had the Zucchini Fries with tzatziki and the Saganaki flambeed Cheese with pita points. Antonio was the server who lit the flaming Greek cheese to entertain us all. Bryson was quick to refill our water ask if we needed anything and clear away dishes. Bryson, Antonio and other staff members ensured everything was brought to us promptly. Our entree's were Moussaka with a side Greek Salad and house Greek dressing, Greek Chicken with a side of Green Beans, & Greek Potato Salad, & Fire roasted Sea Bass with Greek Rice & Spinach and Roasted Beets. Everything was so delicious and fresh, the ingredients and cooking techniques were superlative. Executive Chef/Owner John Makkas is a master of fine dining Greek food. Open for lunch as well this is a place we shall return to soon.

Wow! Their Hours listed online say they’re open until 9:30pm east coast time.(it’s Wednesday) Arrived at 8:11pm, employee says that they aren’t taking anymore orders, that they are done for the night. There was a table of 5-6 people sitting and eating and two people at the bar. Maybe if they learned something about customer service their restaurant wouldn’t be dead as a doorbell! Never giving them another chance. Such a duchy thing to treat customers like that.

I've travel to Greece twice, grew up in NYC and the outer boroughs visiting Astoria a Greek community for restaurants. I must say Ji-Roz in Greenville, SC deserves to have lines of people waiting to get in. The braised lamb shank was suggested by the waitress, Sadie. WOW! The meat was so tender falling off the bone, so juicy, so tasty due to a delectable tomato-brown gravy. Best lamb I ever had in my life. Even if you are not a lamb lover you should try this and guaranteed will become a convert. The dish came with the perfect accoutrements: light, fluffy, creamy mash potatoes which flourished admist the brown-tomato based gravy and a uniquely prepared carrots. My husband enjoyed the fresh octopus and we both loved the calamari appetizer as it was lightly breaded and tender, not rubbery like many restaurants. We then asked for a dessert suggestion. Both Sadie the waitress and hostess Taylor stated ALL desserts are freshly made on the premises and to try the Zemek Dessert made of layersof : shredded, buttery, sweet filo dough on the bottom, custard in the middle and whip cream on top.....to die for!!! I must say ALL the dishes were fresh, cooked and seasoned to perfection. This was the best GREEK RESTAURANT I've been too in 67 years and the staff couldn't have been nicer. Do yourself a favor and experience a night at Ji-Roz in Greenville, SC. It will be money well spent! Congratulations to the chefs, staff and managers for providing a wonderful dining experience and SUPERB FOOD!

Food: For any area without good gyros and lamb dishes, this one has the best (for the area). - Appetizers: The wood-fired octopus is very good, but I had definitely better. The Falafel is the house creation, it is not the falafel you tried in the middle east or even referred as middle eastern falafel. Tastes good… but it is NOT true or authentic falafel, not even close. - Entrée/main dishes: The pulled lamb gyro is “The Best” of its kind….. Highly recommended. The common gyro is excellent (in this area) Th sides: The fries are perfect. The gigantes on the other hand are terrible, in preparation and taste (please either improve, or remove from the menu) - Desserts: skipped for lunch Drinks: - the sweet tea…. You will love it. Service: very nice and friendly waiting staff. They are just tired and slow. Ambience/atmosphere: Not a fine dining, very casual, indoor and out-door seatings. Value: Fairly priced. Overall rating! 4 out of 5 Recommendations: Highly recommended for the dishes we liked above. But, I will come back after 4pm to try the shank of lamb and on fri/sat, to try the Branzino
