I had the chicken skewer salad. It was pricey for the amount of food I got. I get it, everything costs a lot these days. I think I'll just get my usual gyro next time. read more

Food is awful . Hummus was dry and grainy, pita was stale, chicken flavorless and overcooked and tzatziki was watery. If you loved this place from years ago, sadly it is not the same food . read more

I would give this place a 0 rating if I could after my interaction with the lady that was ringing us up. To start off, it took her a good 10 minutes to even acknowledge us and take our order, she just kind of stood there looking through receipts and looked up at us a few times but never acknowledge that she was ready to take the order. Once my grandma and I were ordering our food, I let them know that I wanted a wrap ($10.95) and to add rice ($4). I saw the lady working up at the front ring up my Grandma's salad ($14.95) and then rang up my portion- and the total came out to almost $40 which was more than I was expecting based on their menu prices. I asked the lady for clarification to why I was being charged more and she said "because you want the rice" I explained that the menu showed it would only be a $4 increase. She then proceeded to talk down to me in one of the rudest ways I've ever been talked to by a worker and tell me that she has been here 30+ years and she knows the menu and the prices. She then pointed at the "wrap special" which was $14.95 and it included a salad, so she was charging me that on top of the rice (which the math still didn't add up with that explanation) I continued to explain that I didn't want the salad on the side, I wanted the wrap à la carte and then add rice (which the menu lists that you can do) At this point we had gone back and forth multiple times, and the way that she was talking to me was so disrespectful that I did not want to order from her anymore and I asked her to remove the wrap and rice and to just move forward with the salad my grandma was wanting. (I was thinking to myself there is no way I'm giving this person money after the way she reacted, however my grandma really wanted the salad so I continued forward with purchasing that menu item). Once I asked her to remove the things I had ordered, she got even worse. She interrupted me multiple times and when I said I didn't want to discuss this anymore she put her hands up in annoyance and said "we are not done talking about this, we will continue this discussion" she said things such as "you aren't listening to me, I don't understand why you don't just order and keep the rice" I was almost in shock by how long the back and forth went on. I tried to maintain my cool as my 82 year old Grandma was next to me. It took about 4 more times for me to tell her to remove the additional items from the order before she rudely agreed to. She snapped at me during the whole conversation and roller her eyes multiple times. My advice would be to not go here and give your money to incredibly rude workers and definitely choose one of the other restaurants in the pod area. read more

Food was good, not great, but good. 3 plates took 40+ minutes to be ready, so don't come super hungry or in a rush.

The older lady was quite rude when she was taking our order. There was no line and the guy in the hat saw us but didn't come to help so my husband went over to the counter and rang the bell and the guy looked up but didn't come help. read more

Cafe Glendi - Lamb Plate - Greek Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Food was Meh. Tzatziki needs to be renamed to garlic sauce. Not tzatziki AT ALL. Hummus was different from traditional recipe. As a Greek visiting the area I was excited for this and sadly disappointed. Chicken Kebab was decent. read more

Did not disappoint!. A cute little mom and pop Greek food restaurant inside a food hall. Everything tastes delicious. The avgolemono hit the spot! My partner from the Middle East was drooling over very familiar spices and flavors. A kind, mature lady was running the show and I felt like I was in my grandmas kitchen (if she was Greek). A nice treat! Thank you!! read more

Cafe Glendi - two plates of food on a table - Greek Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Ordered the special - salmon salad. Really great food. Went back to get a to go order for my husband at 6:45 and she said "oh we're closed" even though everywhere says open till 7. Disappointing. read more

I was so disappointed with this place. It's so cute and I wanted to love it. The gyro I got had a few thin slices of meat and some lettuce. It was tasty but was so skimpy. I'm glad it was only 8.50. Maybe make the gyro nice and fat with loaded meat and up the price! read more

We had the gyro plate and the chicken plate. Both were VERY light on the meat but the gyro was really a joke. It included four slices of gyro meat that were paper thin. The chicken was one skewer with five bites of chicken on it. The meats were pre-cooked and just warmed up on a grill, not a real gyro spit. Rice was microwaved. Salads were prepared by the counter lady with no gloves. Four miniature wedges of tasteless bread were included. We were so hungry, after $30 for two, we had to order a smashburger for dessert. It was excellent! read more

Food is decent for being in a food court-kind of place. It's on the second floor of the 5th street market and it shares its tables with several more places. Menu is limited. I ordered the chicken souvlaki (chicken skewer in a pita bread with tzatziki and tomatoes and lettuce). Overall, blah.... Kinda describes the non-flavor. Nice service. Not really a place I would try for dinner but for a quick bite at lunch it was sufficient. read more

Looks good but isn't anything special. Chicken is unseasoned, the yogurt sauce is bland, rice is old.

I just love glendi! I've been coming here since 2002! The veggie plate comes with hummus, pita, kalamata olives, dolmadas, a Greek salad, and a spanikopita. I usually add a second spanikopita, or a chicken skewer. The family that runs that place is very nice. The food is always fresh and delicious! I appreciate the simplicity and spot on flavors at glendi. It's also always consistent. I have literally gotten the same thing from day one. I will continue to keep visiting and highly recommend the veggie plate!! read more

My favorite to-go food in Eugene. The lemon soup is to die for. It's a healthy, yummy meal. read more

Food is good. however, the lady with the classes and brown bob did not wash her hands. She was dealing with people cards and money and then went straight into the lettuce bin with her bare hands. Little disappointing to see. Also she was snacking and eating while making our food. Will probably not come here again. read more

Ordered the Salmon Plate. Very good. It's about 4-5 ounces of grilled salmon that is seasoned perfectly. Comes with a side salad and rice pilaf. The lady (my guess is the owner) is so nice. Definitely coming back during my time here because the food is fresh! read more

Recently I stopped at Cafe Glendi for a quick bite to eat. First, it's nearly impossible to find in the marketplace. It took me a while to get there. I was excited to try a new greek spot. The food was ready when I arrived. There seemed to be no one else interested in grabbing takeout from Cafe Glendi at the time. I ordered a gyro with rice. The gyro was good and one of the better gyros I've had. The rice was boring and bland. It had zero flavor to it and I had to salt it and add a ton of butter. It's unfortunate because the gyro was good. If you are looking for a fast, greek bite to eat, Cafe Glendi is good. You aren't going to get a flavorful meal though. My recommendation is get the gyro but it sub it for a salad or probably anything other than the rice. read more

Absolutely terrible and rude service and mediocre food. Save your money and go anywhere else.

This is truly the only authentic Greek food in Eugene. I wouldn't recommend getting Greek food from anywhere else.

I got the lamb gyro. It was very small and virtually had zero meat. Hard to find what you could consider a slice. Usually Gyros are fairly packed. Big disappointment. read more

I have a love/ hate relationship with Greek cuisine. I mostly love it but I find cucumbers and onions repulsive, which are big ingredient components of Greek food. However, the meals my husband and I ordered from takeout were so good, I consumed my order so quickly I had no time to take any pictures. I had the Spanakopita meal, which was delicious. Took me right back to roaming the streets of Athens while munching on the savory, flaky treat. The Spanakopita was also very good dipped into the side of the lentil soup I ordered. Looking forward to trying the other vegetarian options they have there. read more

Delicious food at a really reasonable price! Cafe Glendi had a smaller menu with good selections that made choosing what to get really easy. We got a lamb and beef gyro and a gyro plate and they were wonderful! This place is definitely worth a try if you're nearby and craving some great food! read more

Ate here for the first time today, it was so good! I got the hummus plate and a chicken skewer from the a la carte menu. Both tasted very fresh (I watched them cook the chicken skewer on the grill) and it was all well-seasoned. All employees were masked. I'll be back! read more

This place is ALWAYS amazing!!! I'm so happy she was open!!' She brings home right to your plate! You can tell she makes her food with passion! The owner is always so friendly and her baklava is out of this world!!! Been coming here for 3years! It's great experience every time! read more

Cafe Glendi - Salmon Plate - Greek Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Fresh ingredients, the salmon and prawns were cooked just right and overall made for a nice lunch. The portion of salmon was on the small side which was disappointing. The lady was lovely and friendly and made sure we all got a cup of water on this sunny day. read more

I stopped in here with my best friend for lunch. It is located inside the 5th Street Public Market with other restaurants in a food court type setting. I ordered the coconut curry prawns on a bed of rice with a greek salad. I was pleasantly surprised with how great the coconut curry prawns were. The prawns were not overcooked and had amazing flavor! You could really taste the curry and coconut but not to where they overpowered each other. I nice blend. The rice was good and had fresh flavor to it and the greek salad is always good there. Very fresh with a nice balance of ingredients, olives, tomatoes, feta cheese and leafy greens. For a refreshing drink I had the lemon fizz which is a favorite of mine here. Tart and sweet and very refreshing on a hot day, which it was. I would recommend this place if wanting a casual lunch. It can get busy in the court but there is quite a bit of seating options. However, the only draw back is the restroom is not convenient location wise to the food court area. read more

Love them so happy there back best lunch ever salmon plate gyros on point Thank you see you soon read more

Ungloved hands in the salad. Service with a snarl. Slow. We didn't pick up our food after we witnessed the sanitary conditions so we can't comment on the taste. We felt illness wasn't worth the risk. Give this place a miss. read more

I've meant to try gyros here for a long time. But like a foodie black hole, my steps instead always bend inexorably toward Baker Butcher for their really good Italian fare. So today was the day. Finally! Plenty of other soups salads and specials almost seduced me (wild grilled salmon on Greek salad, coconut curry prawn plate, roast chicken...) All fiercely tempting but I stayed true to my gyro (me & gyros go way back!). And it was good,even very good. But I was a little disappointed, given what I'd heard. All ingredients were nicely fresh, especially the soft pita. But flavors (for me at least) were milder than I expected, mainly lettuce, tasty bread, and a mild tzatziki. And serving size was smaller than I'm used to, though at only $6.50 it's not a bad deal. I felt like it needed the bite of more onions, Greek olives, garlic, or.... Something. That said, it's mainly a question of style, and, to be fair, I only tried the one dish. This place is a clean, attractive little over-achiever with good prices and an unusually nice menu. read more

Very good Greek restaurant with homemade food. It sits inside the 5th Street market and has plenty of seating. I started with the lentil soup which had great flavor and a large portion to boot. Following the soup I had the lamb lasagna with a Greek side salad. The lasagna was prepared to perfection and had plenty of lamb to enhance the flavor. The Greek side salad was good and had all the standard elements in the salad. Service was very friendly and felt like going to mom's house! A must try if you're walking around the market and feel the need for a good meal. read more

She is always seems so entitled and holds my food back after she serves multiple people that have ordered after me. I always tried to be friendly and complimentary to her to no avail. After 10 years of trying to support this business, I'm done. read more

Food was fantastic, service was great. The only (but pretty important?) issue I have it the lack of allergy awareness. I have a severe allergy to nuts (anaphylaxis, yes I carry an epipen) and am so grateful for restaurants that note what items have nuts on their menu. I ordered (not a single mention of nuts on the ENTIRE menu) and had an allergic reaction. I asked the worker if anything had nuts. They told me the tzatziki had nuts?? Didn't mention anything about any allergens on the menu. Sad waste of a $700 epipen. read more

I was severely disappointed with my salmon wrap. First off it took over 20 minutes just to get a little wrap. Would've been better off just getting a burrito two doors down and had it ready in less than five minutes. Now I know! Barely any seasoning, enough salmon for a child's meal if that. About three bites and no seasoning. I've had the Gyro wrap at Arby's. I don't eat fast food much because I like quality food. Arby's was hands down way better. God bless the lady at the front she is just way too slow to be managing it. Doesn't know how to multitask anymore. Crappy food crappy service now I'm home and absolutely starving I need to make myself some thing. read more

Nice atmosphere in the Fifth Avenue Market food court. The gyro plate was only so-so. Salad dressing was way too vinegary. Three triangles of dry pita bread, blah. Rice pilaf was just dry and yellow with little black specs. The gyro meat was fine. read more

I came here to eat sadly they are not a fan of "plastic" vs cash. I used my debit card she grabbed it and said is this all your getting? I said yes. She said you dont have cash? I said no. She walked away. I said is that a problem? No response. She didn't response to me the rest of the time I stood there. I will never go back to this place. read more

Service is rather long, be prepared to wait 25 min. Salmon wrap was good, chicken skewers too. Lasagna were not that good, the meet had a greenish color and taste was more than questionable. Luckily we were not sick after but really, we wondered. Guy in the kitchen was touching the food with bare hands and it did not seem very clean. read more
