    Dessert trio
    Nicholas E.

    Great food, amazing service, excellent addition to the Royal Oak restaurant scene. We started with the octopus and pita with sauces, and had an original gyro and a beef, a chicken and a veggie souvlaki as mains. Ended with a dessert flight. Sat at the bar, where Nick was quick on the service and ensured we had everything we could have needed. All in all, a fantastic dinner experience.

    Meatballs

    Finally got to visit this place. We sat at the bar, the wait for a table was quite long, but it was a Friday night. You're safe if you come after 8pm tho, seems like less people are dining around that time. Anyways, onto the food. We over ordered so we got to try a lot of the items. Unsure of the real names, but description of dish should be okay. Calimari - very tender, semi crispy. Unsure about the batter because it felt like it wasn't cooked all the way or the outside wasn't crispy enough. It was just an odd bite for me. The calamari seems fresh and they don't skimp, it's thick pieces & lots of tentacles. Meat balls with pita - this was good, 4 giant meat balls (beef & lamb) it has a stronger lamb taste, if you're not into lamb. Must have it with the sauce & pickled cucumber. Lamb & beef gyros - this was really good. The meat was flavorful & love that yogurt sauce they use with it. It comes with really good fries (similar to checkers fries style) I would come just for the fries, but this was really good. Souvlaki - we got chicken & beef, comes on a bed of rice. This was pretty disappointing. Felt like the meats were bland, nothing stands out for me. Even the rice was just okay. It comes with 3 different sauces that gives the meat flavor, otherwise meat by itself was okay. Loved the sauces that came with it. The garlic aoli one went great with the fries we got also. Potatoes - we never got it. They never brought it. Told us it was coming, as we already had all of our left overs packed up. I saw another table getting it & I know they ordered after us. We sat at the bar and it was really busy, so service was okay. We ordered a lot of food for 2 people & glad the potatoes ended up not coming but sad it was just missed. The apps came out really quick but the mains took a bit longer to arrive there after. They're still working out kinks, but food is good for the most part. Glad for them to be something different in royal oak. I also love the decor. Also note that the app for wait time didn't really update. It just said still over 70min wait even tho the 2 parties ahead of us sat down already. And if you're lucky, u can sit at the bar. Didn't get to try the drinks, but they also looked good.

    Saturday night before 6:15 PM arrival. We were told it would be about a 25 minute wait for a bar seat or a table. We put down our name for a table. Try to be conservative on seating estimates. We are seated in less than 5 minutes after getting a text, our table was ready. Sophia is waiting on us. She recommended Souvlaki. I told her I don't eat red meat, asked if I could get more veggies instead of the bed of rice the meat skewers were place on, she said there are no substitutions. If I want more veggies and no rice, it would be an add on. She then recommended lamp chops, I reminded her against that I don't eat red meat. Why wouldn't you just give a few more zucchini slices instead of rice? How cheap are they? Lost a $28 entree order. Ordered beet salad, Greek salad, calamari, octopus, chicken gyro, crispy feta and phyllo and Greek salad with grilled chicken on it ($7 add on). $113.42 Discount if you pay with cash. The octopus is super tender. Arugula salad was simple, but good. Hummus is flat and tasteless to me. This young judgy man came over to our table to tell me that taking a top view of the calamari dish is a bad picture, that I should take from different angles. I less than amusedly let the staff know that I always take at least 3 pics of food at different angles. The calamari is slightly crispy, but more heavily breaded and quite greasy for me. Lots of tentacles pieces in the bowl, left them for my hubby, since he doesn't mind them much. The feta phyllo was so-so, not so special and rather bland. It's a long hunk of feta wrapped in phyllo and that's about it. The Greek salad was ok. The mixed greens are all on the bottom and are full leaves, so a bit tough to get at to cut down to eat. The beet salad was lack luster, the whipped goat cheese was not as good as actual goat cheese for me. The chicken gyro was blah, my husband wasn't loving the big chunks of pickles in it too much and it only had a bit of chicken in it. It's not anything special, wasn't what he expected and rather flavorless. The fries were as expected and slightly seasoned. Service was average. It's rather pricey if you think about it being Greek inspired food and costing over $100 for one entree and several starters.

    Really great quality Greek food! The saganaki came with a side of honey and it paired so well with the salty savoriness of the cheese! The service was excellent, almost too attentive at times but there was hardly anyone else in the restaurant in the late afternoon on a weekday so I can't fault them for that haha. The gyro was stuffed and so flavorful, loved the seasoned fries as well!! I definitely want to come back for the souvlaki some time. Such a lovely spot to have on Main! The postcards are a cute touch as well.

    This is a new place in Royal Oak and you haven't heard too much about it. It's definitely a gem in the rough. The place is small but definitely worthy of the date night. The bartender was extremely friendly come over and showed us the special cocktail menu and chatted with us for a little while because the place is new. The waiter was very friendly and informative, we ordered the saganaki, and I had to say I was a little disappointed in the size for an appetizer it was rather small. The gyros were generous, the meat was definitely fresh and there was a lot of it. I would come back for cocktails and if I had someone special to take out an impress. It would be more of a dinner place for me than for lunch.

    Was just here again - really loved this spot - and brought my parents back while they were visiting. Another terrific experience. My one note from the last visit was a cocktail that integrated mastiha - and this time they delivered! A riff on the Last Word, swapping out the luxardo for the mastiha. Loved it! Went for a gyro this time - their fries are delicious - and their beef salad is exquisite. We will be making this more of a regular stop!

    It seemed like we came in just as they were opening. We were the only table and it made me a little worried. The services was incredible attentive. The bar tender brings your drinks to the table so they dont sit at the counter waiting for a server. I was really excited about the greek potatoes--i have only had them when my wife makes them, I have never seen them at a restaurant. They were very good but I wanted some more lemon tartness and some feta cheese. I had a meatball appetizer and they were flavorful and juice. Their tzatziki could use a bigger kick of garlic, but again, I think I am used to homemade flavors to my taste. Needless to say by the time we left the place was becoming really busy. Overall I want to come back. It was a great experience.

    Souvlaki
    Katerina L.

    Blue Goat, Greek restaurant, recently opened up and didn't disappoint. Cozy space with a long couch with pillows along the wall (very comfy). Great service - attentive staff! Food is mostly very good. Grilled octopus is one of the best I had. Vegetable salad was tasty and fresh. Souvlaki was served with 3 sauce cups - spicy feta is yummy! Unfortunately, chicken skewer was dry and beef skewer meat was chewy. Flavor was good but could be better. Also while I liked lemon potatoes, I prefer traditional kind. Overall, enjoyed the experience and want to come back to try other dishes - like branzino.

    Loved this place! First of all, the inside is very chic. Its brand new but the blue makes you feel like you're in a secluded restaurant, not downtown royal oak. The vibe is great, staff are friendly. The food is also good. The french fries were perfectly crispy. The gyro was great, not dried out. I did add tzatziki to the pita which added to the overall flavor. Will be back soon!

    chicken souvlaki
    Prachi B.

    So many good things to say about this place! The ambiance is gorgeous, and it's a wonderful addition to have to downtown RO. Services was very attentive and kind. they are BUSY but still take the time to check on you frequently! The food was also super yummy! I would've loved a bigger serving of the saganaki and four the chicken souvlaki to be a tiny bit over cooked, but the dips, fries, rice, and the gyro were absolutely delicious! I saw many people order the other gyros, the greek salad, and the meatballs and i'll definitely be back for those!

We stopped by 2941 Street Food in Royal Oak and ordered a mini Honest Bowl since we were short on time. I went with basmati rice, zaatar steak, fresh cucumber, signature hummus, lemon vinaigrette, and sunflower seeds -- and it all came together beautifully. The steak was seasoned well, the hummus added creaminess, and the lemon vinaigrette brought a fresh brightness that tied everything together. Even as a mini bowl, it was filling. They also have their ingredients and allergy information posted in-store, which I really appreciate. It makes navigating gluten-free options easier. My bowl ingredients are generally gluten-free, but if you're highly sensitive or have celiac, it's always smart to double-check with staff about marinades or dressings. The space isn't dedicated gluten-free, but having the information visible is a big plus. The restaurant was clean, calm, and welcoming. Staff was polite, friendly, and professional -- which made the whole experience feel smooth and easy. I'd absolutely recommend it for a fresh, balanced, customizable lunch in Royal Oak.

The marinated chicken that they use for the wraps goes on a salad, and they're still marinated and so good that you won't even really need the dressing.
