Top Greek restaurants in Somerville, United States

Ten outta ten food! Absolutely delicious gyros, we also got the eggplant dip with pita - so so good! And you can tell this is a well-run family business, where the employees enjoy working with one another. Wish we lived closer!

I’m visiting from Orlando, FL and we ran into this Greek restaurant and we enjoyed it. The food was delicious and they give a generous portion of food. This is a family owned restaurant and they have mom cooking and you can taste the love in the food. Ask them about their village and they will give a wonderful full tour. I highly recommend this place locals and people visiting Boston.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this hidden gem in Davis Square Opa Yeeros, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! This family-owned and operated Greek restaurant is the epitome of hospitality and warmth. From the moment you step inside, you’re treated like family, with the kind of genuine care and attention that makes you feel right at home.

The food is simply outstanding. Every dish is crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients that burst with authentic flavors. Whether you’re indulging in their perfectly seasoned gyros, savoring their rich and creamy tzatziki, or enjoying the delicious Rice Pudding , each bite is a testament to the love and tradition that goes into their cooking.

This is more than just a meal—it’s an experience. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed dinner or a special gathering with loved ones. If you’re in Davis Square and craving a truly authentic Greek culinary experience, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. Don’t miss out on this slice of Greece right in the heart of the city!

Best spot in the area, no doubt. Attentive service and wonderful food. Divey ambiance with an upscale attention to detail. Order the spanakopita and super well priced bottle
of natural bubbly wine. Still one of the best kept secrets in Somerville. Definitely continue to be regulars here!

Don’t sleep on their brunch! Small menu but everything was exceptional, including the espresso martini. Great outdoor patio as well.

This is the best place for gyros in the greater Boston area. We love the Tzatziki and Chicken Gyro. The outdoor dining area is also nice for a quick lunch.

What an amazing find! The service and food were both so incredible. I’ll be coming back any time I have a chance! What’s even more amazing is how kind the staff is. We were enjoying our meal and they asked us what type of loukemades we would want, and brought some out for everyone on the patio to try. Seriously, go check this place out ASAP, you wont be disappointed

Best Greek spot in town! Traditional delicious dishes, friendly family, fast service, nice atmosphere, big variety and reasonable prices for the quality provided. I would highly recommend it!

Food was incredible and the absolute friendliest staff!!! They offered us a bit of meat to try first to decide which to get (and I went with the combo because they were both so good), and even brought out some additional dips for us, all of which were so good I seriously would go there just to get a big thing of the spicy feta or eggplant dip just to have on hand to snack on. And the fries were the best kind - battered and crispy. Kind people, great food, you have to go here!!!

This place is so good!! Family owned & the people that work there are so friendly. The portions are very generous and prices are reasonable. We had 2 chicken gyros and the baklava << this was amazing!! Deff. Coming back. Thank you!

French fries in an omelette?! Yes, please. This breakfast was the bomb, and the cocktails were equally as amazing. The menu doesn't label their GF options, but they do have a designated gluten free fryer and quite a few safe options for brunch. The lemon chicken wings were also SO GOOD. Really enjoyed the vibe here, hope to be back soon!

I never, never give bad reviews, but this place was an utter disappointment. There were no wait staff to be seen outside so we went in and there was no one to seat us, so we went up and ordered our food

I got a pork gyro and my wife got a chicken gyro. They don't sell traditional lamb gyros but they serve lamb chili so go figure. We also got a Greek salad and the tab came to $42 including tip and tax.

When we asked to sit outside which was completely empty, we were told "No! It's only for full service." We said there was no wait staff out there but that didn't matter.

My pork gyro was awful. The meat was dry and if there was tzatziki on it, I couldn't find it. It tasted like they didn't know how to make gyros. Ironically, I got a lamb gyro from Arby's at a rest stop recently and it was far tastier and less expensive.

I love Greek food but I won't go here again.

We had the gyro and Athena (lamb) burger. Both were delicious. Burger came with a good portion of fries, which were fresh and hot, but Very salty. My BF had a glass of Greek red wine which was also good, but $14 was pricey for a small pour.
Their online menu seems to not be up to date - I’d planned to have the lamb lollipops listed there, but they weren’t on the actual menu. Friendly, attentive service.

We tried the chicken gyro 10/10 and grilled octopus 8/10, Caramel onion dip with goat cheese and almond too sweet taste more like dessert but good plus 3 beers even cheap $60 totally recommend

EDIT, two weeks later:

We stopped in around 10pm on a Friday for a drink. We were served and then when we asked for a second drink, the bartender had some issue and told us we were “humping each other” and “had too much PDA for my liking”. Meanwhile, my BF is too awkward for legit PDA and holding hands is a big thing for him…

The bartender disrespected us to the point we had to ask for the manager. The manager was very understanding and we appreciated her listening to us, overall.

We were local regulars, but will likely avoid this place unless they can improve the way the bartenders treat the patrons.

ORIGINAL post:
My boyfriend and I stopped in on St. Patty’s day for the first time and was pleasantly surprised by the cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The photos don’t do it justice!
We sat at the bar immediately and stayed for the trio dip appetizer and drinks. The dips were amazing, they bartenders were friendly and the drinks were flowinggg.
We’re looking forward to stopping into this place more for our next Greek meal or bar hangout!

Good food ruined by terrible packaging.

The packaging it used to come in had separate compartments. Now they just throw a Shawarma plate into this a glorified Chinese food box and it’s just makes the food into a messy presentation. I don’t want the salad buried underneath the rice. Maybe this is petty for some, but the packaging totally ruins it for me.

Delicious food and nice service. The potatoes with garlic and lemon were so good and the grilled meat plate was generous.

Really really good food. I wish I had more space in my stomach for dessert. I love subtle use of herbs in food.

Nice ambience, good service.

Great portion size. Chicken shawarma and chicken kebab plates were tasty (ask for a side of garlic sauce). The sweets are amazing, best basboosa I've ever had! Friendly service.

Busy place, not very big but we were able to sit at the bar while we waited for a table. Service at the bar was friendly and attentive. Once seated, our server helped us with questions. Appetizers were great, I had the lamb chops which were excellent. Cooled to perfection with a nice slight char, seasoned perfectly. Others had mixed reactions to their food, gyros in particular one liked theirs, the other not so much. Only issue with the atmosphere is that it's too small for the crowd of customers and because of the layout and where we were seated, anytime someone came in to the restaurant a gust of cold wind came in also making it cold.

The lamb was un-chewable. It was RUBBER. I would suggest skipping lamb all together. The chicken kebab roll was good. Sauces were great!

The food is really delicious. I recommend the fried Brussel sprouts and the spanakopita. Omg the spanakopita. The drinks were very good. I've been here for lunch on weekends twice, there was always a table available, however both times the waiters were constantly rushing us, overpresent, interrupting and handing the check so fast that i felt kicked out. Let people enjoy a meal and talk, please.

Best chicken shawarma we've ever had and the man running the place was so kind! I'm desperate to go back before we fly home to grab some baklava which looked incredible

Delicious, healthy portions, friendly staff, easy access. My mouth waters at the thought of this establishments food. Tried it first time a couple months ago, have eaten there three times, and going back after I type this, as they close at 0300!!! Parking on Main Street, as Broadway has a bus stop and bus lane.

I have been coming here since they first opened. Great atmosphere, good food, and during the summer months the best patio around.

I ordered lamb Shawarma plate, it was a terrible. The meat, the rice and even the salad were all terrible. I think they spill half a glass of oil into the salad. Rice was mushy. Tried it and couldn't have the second bite. Order from this place if you want to waste your money.

As an Arab American who often goes back home to the Middle East, I can guarantee that this place is the real deal. Everything about it is authentic. The food is delicious and tastes like home but has its own unique flavor. Whatever you get, make sure you get it spicy because their spicy tahini is what makes the sandwich/plate (still delicious not spicy as well). The owner is friendly and hilarious and is usually playing great music to keep you entertained while you wait. The place just feels like the kind of shop I would go to back home. If you don’t feel like waiting at the store for take out, their delivery is very quick and I’ve never had a problem with that either. Do yourself a favor and TRY THIS PLACE OUT!!

Delicious food, good atmosphere! The bean skordalia soup was hot and tasty. The potatoes lemonade was delicious. Good and quick service. Thank you!

I would give this place 10 stars if I could, I absolutely love it here! The food is always exceptional. I have never even had an “okay” meal here it is always delicious. The service is spot on, and the takeout is fast and precise. I have never had any issues. I love the Greek salad, kale salad and of course the original gyro. The Tirokafteri dip served with warm pita is a must try and if you have a sweeter tooth the caramelized fig and goat cheese dip topped with toasted almonds is for you! They always have a seasonal sangria offering which is my go-to beverage. It is cute and cozy inside, and the music is always bumping, a fun vibe! Zo Greek is located next to Lucky Strike in Assembly Row if you are not familiar with the area so you might miss it. Highly recommend dropping in if you are in the area!

Good Mediterranean food near to assembly row. We ordered
spread sampler: ok. Potato was basic. No innovation
Zucchini & feta: was ok. Not surprised by flavours
Shrimp skewer. Was really good. Smoky and right amount of crisp and soft.
Chicken skewers were good. Chicken wing was alright.
Overall not too bad. But I have had better Mediterranean.
Service was quick and we could easily get a table on a Sunday late afternoon.

First time here after eyeing the place for years! LOVED the outdoor patio area. The vibes were great out there. Think the cocktails were a little small for the price and I think I probably should have gone with another option besides the hamburger, but no regrets! Would come back.

I've ordered from this place a couple of times, and the food is above average. The portion size is pretty huge, especially the chicken shawarma and falafel plates. Taste is good, and spice level adequate, however their pita bread is not that soft, and tends to be chewy. Also, the hummus can be better (I've had much better ones before). Oh and you must taste their baklava, it's super awesome! Delivery has been on-time (thanks to UberEats), and overall I am pretty satisfied.
