    Vegetarian plate
    Neha M.

    Honestly it's been a while since I've been here but I think the food has gotten better! I got the Greek salad and the pita chips with spicy feta dip which was delicious! I don't know if I loved the pita chips - a tad too fried, I think I would have preferred just toasted pita but overall yummy and super quick pick up order

    Come here for authentic Greek in a casual restaurant chain. I personally prefer Greco over the less-authentic/lower-quality fare at Saloniki. Greco offers pitas that you can customize with marinated and juicy chicken, pork, lamb or beef with toppings of your choice. They also have hearty plates of Greek salad, tzatziki and pita bread. You should also try their desserts-loukoumades which are sweet Greek donuts topped with honey, cinnamon chocolate and nuts. Their meats and salad ingredients are fresh and I've never ordered a plate I didn't enjoy. There is limited seating inside and outside so keep that in mind. If you're confused about what to order or want recommendations their staff are really helpful-all you have to do is ask.

    Lamb Pita, Chicken Souvlaki Plate, Greek Chicken Salad, Zucchini Chips
    Angelina R.

    Not going to lie, this is not the best greek food you can find in Boston. In a pinch or if you happen to stumble upon it, it'll definitely do to satisfy your craving. The prices aren't too bad for Newbury St. and even when it's very crowded their service is reasonably quick. Additionally, there's a good amount of seating despite the small space. However, there's nothing that stood out to me as exceptional. The avgolemono soup and the lamb gyro were definitely good and the highlights of the meal for me, but also not something I would go back for. Aside from this, the menu does have a wide variety of options and some traditional greek treats that might be hard to find elsewhere, but for me it wasn't my favorite regardless. Maybe give it a try for yourself if you're curious, though!

    This is a nice Greek food spot along Newbury street. I ordered a pita wrap with pea protein, the Greek yogurt sauce and charred eggplant was delicious! However, I was a bit skeptical cause I don't think they put vegan protein in my order. The interior was cramped and certainly not accessible for people with disabilities or crutches or sprained ankles with limited movement. The exterior is a nice spot to sit and get some people watching on.

    Halloumi Pita

    I am obsessed with their halloumi pita. I have driven 30 minutes just to have it. It's so flavorful and juicy and crispy and fresh and there's a ton of food for the price. Highly highly recommend. Food comes out quickly too.

    Chicken Plate with spicy feta and lemon chive yogurt + lentils
    Michael P.

    Made a quick stop for a lunch that wasn't dessert on our Boston trip. Reviews looked promising and a friend said some of his coworkers liked this spot. Overall I was impressed. Simple greek plate but very flavorful, very fresh and was a great portion for $16 bucks. I got the lentils for my side and fir sauce I got the lemon chive yogurt and spicy feta. Absolutely delicious combo. It was a solid 3.5-4.5oz meat and along with the lentils this was a good amount of protein to balance out the more "sweet" options we've been picking on all day. The space inside the restaurant is comfortable, the staff is friendly and checked on us a few times to make sure all was good. And from ordering to getting our food, we waited maybe 4 minutes? Overall, very pleased and would come back. It may not be my absolute favorite greek food ever but it absolutely got the job done and earned a repeat visit + my recommendation.

    I ordered Greco via Relish which is a catering service. Due to this I can't speak on the actual restaurant ambiance and staff. What I can say is that the food is excellent. I had a chicken plate with beans and tzatziki. The ingredients were so good. The pita bread was fresh. I'd love to try more from here!

    Chicken Gyro Plate with lemon pilaf ($16) and Classic Loukoumades ($8)
    Ame G.

    What a great place! When it comes to quick-serve Greek cuisine, Greco sets the bar quite high. Located in the scenic Newbury Street, Greco is a cozy, comfortable, and inviting fast casual restaurant with great, fairly priced food. You can dine inside or on their dog friendly patio seating. Keep in mind that the inside and patio seating areas are a bit small, and there's limited seating. We arrived for lunch with our small dog and settled in on their lovely patio. We ordered the chicken gyro plate with lemon pilaf ($16) and an order of their Classic Loukoumades ($8). The dish was bursting with flavorful bits that were simply divine when paired with a dollop of tzatziki sauce. The loukoumades were equally as enjoyable. They were crispy and airy, striking the perfect level of sweetness and flavors. A really enjoyable way to round out our meal. For those seeking top-notch Greek fare without the fuss, but with plenty of friendly service and quality food ingredients, GRECO is a must visit!

    This is a fun spot in Newbury Street for Greek food. I love Greek food so I always want to stop by a local Greek restaurant when I am traveling. They had an outdoor seating area filled with people. You then go down the stairs and enter the main shop. From there you can pick if you would like a gyro or a platter and choose from the options available. It is quality Greek street food for an affordable price. I ordered a chicken gyro to go. They cut the meat right in front of me. I loved the tzatziki sauce and french fries. Be sure to order the zucchini chips. It was my first time trying it and they were amazing. One thing I didn't notice until it was too late was the Greco app. You could download it and place your order for $3 off your first order. By that time it was too late for me. Make sure you download the app to get the membership. If you are anything like me you will be coming back here again very soon.

    Pork Souvlaki Plate Single

    I am begging Greco to come to Minnesota. I come to Boston at least once a year for work and I am always making at least one, if not two, stops to Greco. This time I got it twice! This is a new location for me but it is so cool and a fun spot in Back Bay. I always get the pork souvlaki plate with extra fries instead of salad. I love this meal, they have great fries, great tzatziki and the best pork souvlaki I have been able to find in the states. Truly my favorite spot in Boston!

    Veggie Plate
    Abby A.

    Good quick stop in for food. Lunch prices around ~$13-16. I got the plate, halloumi, spicy feta and with zucchini chips. Overall very impressed. Service was quick (sat for 2-3min at lunch time and already had food) and indoor seating looked nice but I took to go. I really liked the zucchini chips, they were tasty and crisp, and something that feels a lot easier to convert to frying at home than even potato wedges. I have had them on my mind for a couple days though and try to recapture the experience. Halloumi was good, spicy feta not too much but good and flavorful, and nice bed of veggies for whole dish. Other than those thoughts, really good lunch from what looks to be a local chain. I would definitely recommend.

    No frills, quick service, quality food place on newbury. I got a simple gyro with pork and it was hearty and filling. I mean you can't go wrong with meat, pita, sauce and fries but still :) Will be back for sure when I'm in Boston next

    Vegan plate, Chicken plate
    Kit D.

    For a well-known Greek chain in Boston, especially one with a location on Newbury St., I honestly expected better. While the service and wait time at GRECO was decent, the food was simply just OK, nothing to really write home about. The portions were also very small for the price (pictured plates each for $15.50), I felt feeling nearly satisfied but nowhere near full. I ordered the chicken plate which came with a side of fries, salad, and pita bread slices. The chicken was good, cooked well and flavorful. The fries were tasty, but there weren't very many. The salad was disappointing, as it was just sliced tomatoes and onions. No dressing whatsoever. The pita and honey mustard was very good. They also skimped on the feta, and I was barely able to taste any in my dish. Honestly, there are much better authentic Greek places in the Boston area, and if you want a good alternative chain restaurant in Boston I'd hit up Saloniki Greek-- their prices are similar but the food is tastier and more filling.

    See all

    Good food, tasty and healthy. Quick. Doesn't disappoint. The lemon dill beans are a sleeper here.

    Is the chicken always marinated in honey mustard or just on the classic chicken?

The menu refers to these as "Greek cheese bread" but somehow that doesn't do it justice - these were immensely pillowy and cheesy, with an amazing crust, with homemade honey butter on the side. I could have had just these for dinner and been satisfied. They really nailed the bread. My other favorites: 1. Hipiti: spicy whipped feta with crispy potatoes on the side. I don't do well with spice but I absolutely loved this. 2. Marouli: winter lettuce with the most amazing vinaigrette dressing. My only knock to this is, presentation-wise, they serve it with half of the plate empty and the other half with salad. I don't understand why restaurants do this because - one, it only highlights the smaller portion and two, we're just going to mix the salad all around in the bowl anyway. 3. Boudeto: daily catch in a beautiful tomato broth. For a seafood dish at a restaurant in Back Bay, this was priced at a fairly reasonable $28. The only dish that fell a little flat for me was the tzatziki - needed a bit more seasoning. As it was, I was eating mostly just plain yogurt. The table-side preparation was cool, though. The space is its own visual dinner, there's simply a lot to look at (including a drawing of Poseidon riding a surf board). We got the big table in the back, which was a beautiful glass structure with a whole terrarium underneath. We couldn't stop marveling at it throughout the meal. Our waiter was wonderful - very helpful recommendations, came by to check on us often even though we were pretty far in the back, super patient with our questions. Hard to get reservations but worth it! Don't bother driving / trying to find parking unless you're willing to eat a hefty garage fee, it's Back Bay.

We tried the Pantzaria (baked beets), kolokithakia (zucchini chips), kalamarakia tis skaras (grilled calamari), keftedes (Greek meatballs), and horiatiki (tomato/cucumber/feta salad). The highlights were definitively the zucchini chips which were so crunchy with a yummy dipping sauce or the calamari which were seasoned in this yummy caper oil sauce, or the keftedes which were perfectly cooked. The beets were pretty basic unseasoned beets, but I love beets and really enjoyed this as a low-acid side to the other food.
