Navita P.

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.

Vegetarian plate

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

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

My friend and I got seated at the table because the group of 4 weren't all present. I ordered the Shio (salt) ramen here years ago and felt like it was on the saltier side so this time I tried their Miso. The difference between a small and medium is 1 piece of cha siu. Unfortunately, rather than cha siu it felt more like braised pork belly-- it wasn't tender nor melt in your mouth but it was rather fatty and chewy. Due to the aforementioned line, we did feel kind of rushed since two servers kept coming by our table and asking if we were ready/finished when we were still eating. While I did enjoy my experience of dinner here, I'm not sure if I would recommend Santouka as a "must have" ramen place in the area.

The service was poor from the start. The waitress told us we would be seated at the bar. She rolled her eyes and appeared visibly annoyed when I asked if it was okay that my sister was under 21. She said it was fine as long as we didn't order drinks, then seated us at the bar. We were only given drink menus. When the bartender came over to take our order, I had to ask for a food menu myself. Our seating was also uncomfortable. We were placed right next to the bar/server station. My sister got splashed when drinks were being opened, and servers repeatedly bumped into her chair while passing. We ordered the Carnivore pizza. The pizza itself was quite salty. The dough was decent, but not impressive. I kept trying to convince myself it was good, but it fell short. Pizza: 3/5 Service: 2/5 Atmosphere: 3/5 Would I return? No. Overall, I was surprised by the 4.4 rating. My expectations were much higher based on the reviews.
