    Pork Souvlaki on Pita Sandwich
    Victoria C.

    A small Greek restaurant with just a couple of tables for seating. I came here to grab a quick dinner and decided on getting the pork souvlaki and I requested with no onions and they said that's fine. They said it would take about 10-15 minutes since they cook the meat on the grill after you order. It took about 10 minutes for the meat to cook and to assemble my pita and I was out shortly after. Overall, the souvlaki was great, except I was disappointed that they added in so many onions and didn't honor my request. The pork was cooked well, not too dry and the tomatoes, french fries, and sauce went together well. The pita was soft and was a great wrap that was able to hold everything together. I would like to go back and try some of their other wraps and baklava, so hopefully next time they'll remember to forgo the onions.

    Dry pork and gristle

    I stopped in for first time as reviews said delicious gyro. I will not stop in again. Ordered pork gyro and was waiting her to shave some fresh pork off the rotisserie. Instead she had a pan of shavings I guess on stovetop. The gyro meat was as pretty much inedible... dry scraps probably from the last of a previous roast as there was a new one cooking. Serving a customer that and especially a new customer was enough for me.... Pita nothing to write home about. Only a few onion shavings, 2 tomato pieces and few soggy French fries.... I have Eaten gyros at many local Greek restaurants... Kourzinas inDedham , Fiesty Greek in Norwood and others... this was the worst... shouldn't serve that to anyone... most ended in their garbage pail by front door with sign saying they are closing July 30th and returning September 6th... ? Stay closed to December if you want... I won't darken your doormat again serving me trash scraps that should have been put in dumpster out back for animals to find and eat.

    Effie is the best. The souvlaki never disappoints. This family owned business is a true gem.

    Food is always great! We get pork gyros and spanakopita every time, as long as they haven't run out of pies!

    Is the veggie burger in a pita like a gyro or is it the same boring burger you can get anywhere?

    Maria's Kitchen has some of the best pizza I've had in a while, and despite a hiccup with my order,…read moreI'll definitely be coming back. I initially received the wrong size pizza not once, but twice which was frustrating. However, what really stood out was how their customer service handled the situation. I spoke with a gentleman who was polite, patient, and genuinely eager to make things right. He offered me the option of having a new pizza sent the next day or waiting while they remade my correct order right away. I chose to wait, and the replacement arrived within a very reasonable time. Because of both the quality of the food and the effort to fix the issue, I'll continue to order from here.

    Let me tell you something about Maria's Kitchen. Very nice place. Very nice. You walk in and right…read moreaway you feel it. Chill. Relaxed. Not trying to be fancy, not trying too hard. Just good, honest food. I like that. The person at the cashier? Fantastic. Very attentive, very friendly. Great hospitality. Now the menu. Lots of options. My son wanted something simple, a cheeseburger with ketchup. Classic kid move. They made it exactly how he wanted it and let me tell you... he demolished that burger. Completely gone. Me? I saw the calzones and I said, that's what we're doing today. Ordered the small calzone and wow. Delicious. Very flavorful, very filling, and honestly the size was impressive. If that's the small, I can't even imagine the large. I demolished it. The place itself looked clean, felt clean, which is always important. Ambience is laid back. Nothing crazy, just comfortable. Exactly the kind of spot you want when you're hungry and want good food without the fuss. Only one small thing. And I mean small. I wish they gave a little more marinara sauce with the calzone. That sauce is good, and the calzone deserves more of it. But overall? Great experience. Great food. Good people. I definitely recommend Maria's Kitchen and I will absolutely be back. If you're in the area and hungry, go check it out. Trust me on this one.
