Outdoor eating looked nicely lit, but staff without masks? No way!
Abbe K.

We were thinking of eating here for dinner as we loved all their foods pre-pandemic. Looks like the hostess isn't wearing a mask, so we picked a different spot.

Lunch Grilled Chicken Wrap with Mini Famous Greek Salad
Alberto L.

FGK is right around the corner from the Port Chester-Greenwich border in the center of Byram's downtown area. Right off the bat, the outdoor seating area screams to be occupied. My compadre and I decided to have a quick lunch before a road trip, and boy were we pleased! Chicken caesar salad and Grilled chicken wrap are to die for. The chicken was tasty and grilled to perfection. The Famous Greek Salad is the BEST one I've ever had by far. The service was attentive without being instructive. Overall a great place for a meal and I recommend to anyone who likes good greek food!

Branzino

Writing a Yelp review feels insignificant, but the most I can do to support FGK aside from dining there. Every meal I've had - takeout, dine-in, and delivery - has been incredible. Service is lovely. Shout out to David, the best one. Gyro and gyro platter is my go-to but tonight I tried the branzino and OMG was that the best fish I've ever had. Santorini has nothing on this fish. Buttery, melt in your mouth, lemony, oily, delicousness. 11/10. The appetizers are also very good. We loved the warm feta and fresh pita bread. Would highly recommend. Also liked the desserts, and as a Greek girl, that's high praise. Galaktoboureko and baklava very fresh.

Whipped Feta

Hands down the best Greek food in Connecticut!! I was beyond impressed. Everything we ordered was fresh, tasty, and worth the price! They also have a cute seating inside and outside!

Outdoor Patio

Food is always good! Sat outside for lunch, had the hummus trio, and some other apps! Nice outdoor setup and the five shades of green is Great Salad! Service was okay!

The Decor. Nicely upscale.

My wife and I had just wrapped up a long day of running errands and decided to end it with a great meal. Well, the day did not end quite as expected. we were not exactly "Greenwich dressed." We walked in without a reservation and asked for a table for two. We were offered a table outside or seats at the bar. Since it was getting chilly, we initially decided to leave. A couple of minutes later, we changed our minds and decided to brave the dropping temperature. When we returned and asked if we could take the outside table after all, the host, who we later learned was the manager, sighed, rolled his eyes, and looked visibly annoyed. My wife and I looked at each other, confused by the reaction. She asked him if something was wrong. We sat down, but by then she was too upset to enjoy dinner. I have never seen react that way. His reaction was way too out of place for us both to feel weird-judged, discriminated. I am still unsure. I told the manager that I honestly could not remember the last time I had seen a restaurant manager react to a customer that way. We got the whole combo: sigh, eye roll, and the look. It felt very 1980s. I thought we had moved past that kind of service, especially in a place like Greenwich. Apparently, I was wrong. Bad service still exists. And apparently, it is at a restaurant near you: Mediterraneo in Greenwich.

The recent expansion into the neighboring space really opened things up with plenty of seating without sacrificing energy. Noise level was balanced, lively but still easy to talk. Free parking lot with ample spaces makes it effortless. We started with a Horiatiki salad and their signature triangles of warm pita with Greek olives -- a simple touch they consistently get right. I ordered the Meraki Passion Platter, while my wife had the butterflied branzino with Patates Tiganites. The homemade round fries are addictive - thin fries with a crisp outside. Portions are generous without being excessive. Service was polished and familiar; we've seen many of the same staff over the years, which says a lot. Dishes were cleared promptly and everything felt well-paced. Extremely clean throughout. This place continues to deliver. We highly recommended.

My family and I went to Anasa for a special Celebration Dinner…read more It was wonderful!! Stevia/owner was very attentive and engaging. We split several appetizers and one was better than the other. For dinner, I had the whole fish which was delicious! The others had various specials. The Filet Mignon was beautifully presented and was tender and perfectly cooked as were the Lamb Chops. The Pastitsio and Moussaka were also excellent! We split a few of the different desserts and they were all scrumptious and quite decadent . (Unfortunately, there were no leftovers for doggie bags)! All of the food portions were plentiful and everything was amazing. The food was absolutely superb! Anasa is the perfect choice for a celebration, family get together or even for a quiet romantic dinner. It does not disappoint!!

I hadn't had mediterranean in a while and I'm not head over heels for the place near me so I wanted to try something new. This place seemed decent enough. I ordered a greek salad and hummus with pita. There were varying gyros, another greek salad with chicken, some platters including the falafel platter that GF orderd. My salad was wonderful. The ingredients were fresh and that dressing was lovely. It was a salad I actually enjoyed instead of regretting the entire time I glared at my coworkers who ordered real shit with envy. The hummus was also very creamy, authentic hummus with a slightly different taste than I am used to but head and shoulders above any store bought bullshit. Everyone else said good shit about their food. I tried one of GF's falafel from her platter and it was really good. My only complaint is for $24 or whatever it is, i would expect more than a few falafel balls and one side. Kinda a rip off. But everything tasted really, really good.

Must be under new ownership or at least new cooks in the kitchen, judging by the change in quality and taste of the food. The people in the kitchen seemed to be primarily Spanish-speaking. Ordered the chicken kebab wrap and schwafel. Chicken was very dry and drowned in sauce that tasted more like mayo than tahini. They were kind enough to make me a new one after seeing that I was picking at the wrap and the cook explained that chicken breast in the kebab is usually dry. Funny - it wasn't this dry the many times I've had it before. The kebab also lacked the flavor and spice that it had previously. The wrap itself was also thin, dry and unpleasant. They used to use a flour wrap which I think they changed to something akin to cardboard. The scwafel wrap was also very dry. The seating area is small but the workers are very nice and keep it relatively clean. Prices have crept up, as they have everywhere. Given the decline in taste and quality and increase in price, I cannot justify going back to Layla's. The end of an era. I wish they would bring the previous owners/or at least teach the new crew how to make a proper kebab.

When I checked into my hotel, all three people at the front desk recommended the restaurant across the street. But me being me, I went with and my love for Greek food. I wish I would've listened. ‍ Everything on the menu sounded amazing... but of course it did. It's Greek! The waiter suggested the octopus and told me it was a large portion, so I should start with just one. Fine, I took his advice. I also wanted a Greek salad because, in my opinion, every meal needs a salad. Well... he took matters into his own hands and only put in the octopus. It arrived with a bang, beautiful presentation, looked absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, my taste buds didn't agree with the looks. It was just okay. About 20 minutes later, after noticing I wasn't really eating much of it, he came over and asked if I wanted him to put in the salad. Ummm... yes!!! That's what I ordered it!!! And I then asked him to add grilled shrimp too. He seemed a little irritated, which I honestly didn't understand. Listen, if I'm telling you I want to try multiple things, LET ME. Don't stop me from ordering what I want and then make me feel like I have to beg for the next dish. The Greek salad finally arrived... and it was also pretty meh. Where was the olive oil, lemon and oregano? Sometimes the basics really are the best. So, the verdict? Beautiful presentation, lots of potential, but the food just didn't live up to my expectations. And ironically, the best thing I ordered was the wine. I wish the service would have and up for the lack of food, but that was pretty annoying as well ! Maybe I should've listened to the three people at the front desk.

Prix fixe lunch menu available Monday through Friday, 11:30 am - 3 pm. An ala carte menu is also available should you not want to partake in the prix fixe. Our picks from the prix fixe menu were: * Avgolemono soup - bright, lemony, and super comforting with chicken and orzo * Gyro with fries - gyro meat, Tzatziki , tomatoes and onions wrap in a pita (chicken also available) * Spanakopita - two spinach, leeks and feta, wrapped in phyllo dough topped with sesame seeds. These were baked to perfection with a delicious, well-balanced flavor that wasn't overpowering * Grilled chicken in pita with fig jam, fresh mozzarella, arugula, and salad. A delicious toasted pita sandwich with perfectly melted, chewy mozzarella that really brought all the flavors together. I love fig jam, and this sandwich was definitely my "jam!" The restaurant also offers outdoor seating, and the inside has a pretty, comfortable ambiance that makes you want to relax and stay awhile. The waitstaff was friendly, attentive, and always checking in at the right time. PRO TIP: do yourself a favor and skip the salad for the fries. Hand-cut, perfectly crispy, and loaded with delicious Mediterranean herbs and seasoning -- absolutely addictive.
