I did a search for a healthy option on Newbury street and Greco came up. I am glad I tried it. I had a lamb plate. Portion felt a little small. It was busy at lunch time but the line move fairly quickly. Good customer service.

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

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
Julia M.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

The chicken itself is not marinated in Honey, not until it's prepared on the Gyro, the chicken is season and cook on a slow rotisserie

A very popular, long-established Greek restaurant in Boston. Last time I walked in and was told…read morethere would be a two-hour wait, but this time I made a reservation and finally got to enjoy a delicious meal! Tiropita Rolls: Very straightforwardly delicious. The bread was warm, soft, and airy, with a rich aroma of butter and cheese; the spread was a rich blend of honey butter, and olives, sweet and delicious, perfect as an appetizer. Tzatziki: A slight disappointment. The cucumber and Greek yogurt spread was surprisingly heavy, a bit cloying, and the pickled kumquats weren't as sweet as I expected, but rather had a slightly bitter taste. The pita bread was thick and soft, probably better suited for dipping in soup--like Bourdeto--than for the spread. Bourdeto: The tomato fish soup was a pleasant surprise. The freshly caught grouper of the day was thick and tender, lightly seared to create a crispy crust. The broth was a vibrant, tangy tomato base, with onions, fennels, and red peppers contributing a sweet, layered flavor. Trahanas, fermented wheat and dairy, added richness and a smooth texture to the soup. The broth also had a slight spiciness, making it incredibly comforting on a chilly autumn day. Portokalopita: The dessert that elevated the entire meal. A traditional Greek orange phyllo, the cake, made from crumbs of phyllo pastry, becomes incredibly soft and moist after being soaked in orange syrup. Every bite was bursting with rich orange sweetness and fragrance, followed by a slightly bitter orange zest--perfectly balanced. Paired with Manouri cheese ice cream, the creamy flavor was incredibly rich and creamy, creating a harmonious and layered flavor profile.

We chose to sit outside; it was a chilly fall evening when we went last year, but we got some lap blankets which was a nice touch, so brownie points for service. My friend and I split the pastitsio (meat pasta dish), kotopoulo (a chicken dish), louza charcuterie, and tiropita (halloumi rolls). The rolls were stuffed with halloumi and were dense in the best way possible. Coupled with the louza charcuterie, the appetizers were a hit. The two entrees were small but mighty - they were packed with rich meats but also featured microgreens, herbs, and other tangy, bold flavors that really balanced the dishes. We got some glasses of Greek orange wine that I can't remember the name of but it paired excellently with the food per our waitress's recommendation. Overall, a solid Greek option if you're in Back Bay! But definitely make a reservation if you can.

Many restaurants don't treat her with respect, so I leave and leave a bad review. However, KAVA is excellent treating her and me with great respect even providing free appetizers to try since they were new.

Saloniki Greek is a local chain in the Boston Area that was founded in 2016, w/ this being their first location!

The first time I had it was at their Newbury St location, & it was my first time the other day trying it from here... safe to say they definitely NAILED IT!

They come piping hot & are the perfect dessert for after ANY meal.

Hubs had the chicken gyro which was ok. I got this for pickup and it was ready in 10-15 minutes when I got there. We are outside the restaurant at the tables outside. Overall okay experience.

I went with a super green and brown rice base, harissa chicken as my protein, roasted eggplant, harissa, and crazy feta for the sides, with all the toppings, and a garlic sauce. I got a side of harissa pita chips with a green dipping sauce. It is by far one of the best lunches I have had in my life! There's just so many flavors in one bowl, and everything was very fresh. The harissa chicken is very tender and flavorful. I heard that harissa chips are going away....I am willing to sign any campaign to have them stay on the menu permanently. We did end up getting the seats outside but they really do need more chairs. I'm not sure if they get relocated to other places over time, but I think there were 8 tables (2-4 people) and 4 chairs. The prices are good for the quality of food you're getting. Their drinks are unique and good as well. We mixed a couple lemonades together, which enhanced the flavors.

The other dish we got was the chicken sandwich, which is cut into two halves. The first half was normal but there was basically no chicken on the second half of the sandwich, it was essentially all bread. We brought it up to a manager and they got us a new piece of chicken, which fit entirely alongside the old piece of chicken on the bun because it was so small. On top of that we had to wait around nearly half an hour after finishing and had to flag down a waiter to get our check and go. The service overall was very slow. I will never come back to this restaurant.
