    Mixed Grill Seafood
    Boon C.

    The seafood restaurant is great in this community. They have grilled and blacken food. It is very welcome by the neighborhood. I got the seafood combo blacken and grilled. The blackened shrimp is great. I like the squid also. It is delicious. Portion is enough for an adult.

    BEEF SHAWARMA PLATTER

    We popped in not know what to expect and we were pleasantly surprised. It was slow, the cashier who helped us was bubbly and informative. The portions were good for the prices, and the food was delicious. We would happily come back.

    Absolutely amazing! The seafood combination I ordered was fried so perfectly and the batter they use is delicious!! My wife ordered the regular combination which had the lamb steak and chicken. Each bite was a flavor bomb! This is a hidden gem located on 301 and I passed it many times. Finally I pointed it out to my wife on her bday and gave it a try. I will 1000% be coming back. Best calamari around hands down!

    I ordered a mix seafood plate. I asked to grill them with lightly blacken seasoning. The grilled tilapia, squid and shrimp tasted good. The side dish were rice, fry and chop chop salad. They tasted decent. The dining area was clean and big. The service was good enough. It's a nice middle eastern eatery at Riverview area.

    GREEK SALAD
    Kassandra M.

    I asked my mom to bring me a Greek salad, not knowing where she got it bought it from but after having a couple bites I had to text her where she got the Greek salad from and she told me "Amar"! This fresh Greek salad is amazing! The Greek dressing is not your typical store bought dressing. Something about it just taste so great and fresh. I will have to stop by and visit one of these days to have a hot dish.

    Always freshly made and wonderfully cheerful service. You won't find a better Mediterranean spot for 20 miles in Amy direction. Order the mixed platter with a side of babaganoush. Thank me later!

    Feeling lazy and decided to order delivery. What a pick! The food was soooooo good! I got the chicken tawouk and beef skewers. Comes with 3 sides. I got 2 sides of chop chop and rice. I also got pita bread and taziki. Oh man it was good, all of it! Fresh, flavorful and an excellent portion. Definitely recommend. 10 out of 10. Can't wait to try something else on their menu.

    Hoggie and baba ganoush (in the back)

    Some of the best falafels that I've had, super flavorful and moist. We also had baba ganoush as a starter and it was thick and delicious. It also came with about 4 pitas that were warm and fluffy. I recommend the apple malt soda that they have up front. It was so good that we took one for the road. The beef hoggie was also really tasty, juicy and a decent price for $10.99. Also had the kafta skewers and they were seasoned differently than I'm used to but I love trying new things and expanding my palate. If you don't like warm seasoning it might not be the dish for you. Definitely will come back to try more things!

    FAMILY MIXED GRILL

    I came here with my family while visiting in the area as we wanted to have Middle Eastern food and this was the best meal we had during the entire trip. We had the family meal, and it was easy to share and everyone enjoyed it. I have a two year old and a ten year old. The flavor was great. My husband said one of the dips had a little more cinnamon than he is used to. The meats were awesome. I would come here again many times. My oldest son wanted to go back the next day.

    Kafta platter
    Kelly T.

    This place is located in one of the new plazas built on 301. The restaurant is bright, spacious, and not overcrowded. You order at the counter, and when we went up, we received great customer service from the girl that took our order. The food was hit and miss. We ordered the falafel appetizer. The falafel were substantial, and the portions were huge. They were so thick, though, that I got an uncooked vibe from them. The flavor was mediocre at best. It came with a side of chop chop salad and bread. The chop chop was phenomenal, and the bread was great. My spouse got the a chicken shawarma sandwich (not pictured). It was large, and it was tasty. The chicken was a bit dry, though. I got the kafta skewers platter with rice, fries, and hummus. The kafta was dry, but it had amazing flavor. It had a great charred taste. The rice was flavorless. The fries were good. The hummus was AMAZING! There is an up charge to get it as a side, but it is so worth it. Star of the whole meal. We also got two cheesecakes to go. They were terrible. Tasted very artificial. I'm glad we tried this place. Typically I would give 3 stars since the food was hit and miss, but the hummus was so good, I had to bump it up!

    Fried fish platter with basa fish
    shirley l.

    Don't let the casual ambiance fool you- the food here is delicious! Service was quick and they were super helpful with answering questions about the food options. We ordered the fried fish platter and mixed grill plate with rice, chop chop and beans. The mango smoothie was tasty too! Fish platter: you get to choose between fried or grilled fish and you get a choice between basa, salmon and something else (I forget). Basa was fried to perfection, the fish was moist and coating was super flavorful. Mixed grilled plate: LOVED the chop chop- the veg was fresh and I liked the vinegary dressing they toss it in. The kabobs were grilled well and not moist. The garlic sauce goes well with the meats too. This place is certainly a gem- don't sleep on it!

    Food is good but overpriced. You get one small dressing for a large salad and have to pay if you want extra.

    Located right next to I-75 in front of the Gibsonton AMC theater, Little Greek is my new go to spot…read morefor fresh food before I see a movie. It's tempting to snack on popcorn and candy during a movie, but I would rather have a substantial satisfying meal before or after. There are a few options for food in the area, and this is my favorite yet. Service is exceptional. The owner has a high standard for customer satisfaction. I ordered a gyro pita and side Greek salad to share with my wife and it was outstanding. When I eat their food I think "fresh ingredients." The gyro is stacked and is definitely a favorite of ours. Overall, this is a great choice for lunch and dinner. It is a clean quick service restaurant with high quality food. I am excited to return and try some other things on the menu.

The place is clean and well kept. The service was great. The man who took our order was friendly and helpful. He forgot to bring out our side of hummus and 3 falafel. To make up for it, he brought us a full hummus plate with like 8 falafel. That's how you earn loyalty! The food was very good. What you'd expect from a decent Mediterranean spot. Nothing extraordinary, but good flavor, and generous portions. I'll definitely eat here or order from them again!

The service is also friendly and prompt - they clearly know how to make amazing food with hospitality on the side it's a smaller restaurant but cozy with the fireplace wall and clean/authentic feeling. We will be back and highly recommend you support this local small business and enjoy!

    Let me start with why I gave a 3 star before I get into my review…read more We walked in the door, wasn't greeted and we had to wait about 3 almost 4 minutes before someone came to take our order. It wasn't busy and we were the only people waiting. With that being said...the hummus was delicious. The pita was nice and fresh. I had the chicken skewer platter but there were no skewers my husband had the half chicken. Our other guest has the chicken and lamb bowls. I tasted the lamb, it was delicious. Everything was pretty much good and seasoned good so no complaints on the food. They have this mint lemonade that is amazing. Its freshly made too...yum The restaurant was clean, lots of seats and I love the light fixtures. You definitely feel the culture.
