Casual greek eatery on Cary Street --------------------------------- Food: Overall the food is good but not as good as some other greek places in Richmond, meat was a bit tough and overall more salty flavor - but we've only mostly tried the pita platters, so would be open to trying it again or some of the other menu options Affordability: well priced and large portions for the pita platters Ambiance: they have a nice outdoor patio which was lovely Service: great, no issues Good for: casual lunch/dinner read more

My mom and I stopped by Greek on Cary and had an enjoyable experience! I had gone previously and this was her first time but we both ordered the lamb and beef gyro. The flavor was there and the serving size was pretty generous. Definitely left satisfied and could've probably went for another one given my large appetite. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made things better. The atmosphere is warm and fits the theme really well, and the patio area is a nice touch if you want to enjoy some fresh air while you eat. Overall a solid spot , would recommend if you're in the area and looking for a good gyro! read more

Mmm! Going back! The Greek salad - so delicious! The lamb/beef gyro is unbelievable! Must add feta!! We tried the eggplant fries and it was a great choice! The service was good and we enjoyed the quiet indoors (since it was a late lunch) next time trying the outdoor seating and the chicken! The place is welcoming and the people were great! read more

My husband heard about Greek on Cary from a couple-worker, so of course we had to go check it out. The food was plentiful and very good. We didn't dine in we chose to get it to go, from the looks of it, very cozy spot for friends to get together. read more

Greek on Cary is yummy & decently priced. I've only been during lunch and it's never been super crowded during that time. Staff is always friendly. I usually get a platter because it's the perfect amount/variety of food. MY favorite so far is the Beefteki Platter - SUPER flavorful! read more

Greek on Cary - Beefteki Platter with fries & rice - Greek Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

What???? How does this place have anything less than 5 stars? We love Greek food, and this has probably been my favorite spot so far. We ordered a sampler (feta mix and eggplant were my favorites dips), as well as the small mixed grill with lamb. My date ordered a mojito, which was refreshing. Service didn't skip a beat. When it wasn't our waiter tending to us, it was the bartender. Check out the desserts upon entering too. We didn't get any, but they look good! Looking forward to coming back here again. read more

We stopped in here for lunch yesterday while we checked out Cary town. I'm so glad that we did because their food was amazing. We had a large group of 7 and they were able to accommodate us even during their lunch rush. I had the lamb gyro with a side of lemon pepper fries and a side Greek salad. The entire meal down to the pita was delish. I had an extra side of their tzatziki and it was the best I've had. It was not too garlicky and was just the right texture. Everyone else ordered a variety of appetizers and entrees and the lemon soup. No one was disappointed. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town! read more

Great food. The chicken souvlaki pita was tasty and became even better with extra tzatziki sauce. The tiropita and dolmades are also good. We ended the meal with greek coffee paired with the pistachio and walnut baklavas. The pistachio one was the favorite but both were very good. The coffee nicely offset the sweetness. Service was a little slow but that was remedied by going to the front counter and another waitress was quick to help. read more

I've had Greek on Cary, but only takeout so it was nice to eat inside this go around! The inside was cute and clean. Our waitress was sweet and attentive. I ordered the lamb chops with a Greek salad and I loved my meal. The lamb chops could have been seasoned a bit more, but this was minor to me. My salad and other sides were spectacular. I definitely will be back to visit again! read more

Tried for the first time on a weekend - wow! We (2 adults and a small child) got the small mixed grill and the dip sampler and some fries. Ton of food leftover - everything was well seasoned and nice portion sizes. Service was good (AC seemed to be on its last breath but thats not their fault). We saw some desserts we may try next time. read more

I got the large mixed platter ($36) to share and it came with lamb gyro, chicken gyro, chicken souvlaki, beefteki, shrimp souvlaki and two sides (rice and green beans). This allowed us to try a bit of everything which was nice however I was let down with the overall flavor of most of it. The chicken and lamb gyro was seasoned good but quite dry while the chicken souvlaki was moist but lacked flavor. The beefteki and the shrimp were the only highlight of the meal. There was a lot of food more than enough to feed two people and probably perfect for three. The staff was nice but the service lacked . They only came to take our order and bring it out (about 10 mins), however after that they never came to check up on us or refill our drinks. Overall I thought the food was quite underwhelming and a bit disappointing, maybe it would've tasted much better wrapped in a pita bread vs it being on a platter. Food (50%): 6.0 Staff/service(25%): 6.0 Value(25%): 7.5 Overall: 6.4/10 read more

Greek on Cary - Large Mixed Platter - Greek Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

My husband and I decided to try this spot while visiting the area due to a recommendation we received. We were not disappointed by the atmosphere, service and food. The only downside was the beef stew was all out due to its popularity (that tells me it must be really good lol), so I had to go with the chicken souvlaki platter. The food was seasoned really well but the green beans were a little cold. Overall we were pleased and would definitely go back! I also must say our server was very attentive which is a plus. read more

My husband and I were visiting some friends over the weekend, since it wasn't planned we didn't made any dinner reservations, by the time we were done exploring Richmond's Downtown Vintage shops and getting hungrier, we decided to grab dinner at some restaurant that will seat the 4 of us without a reservation. We read falafels, pitas and hummus, perfect for a slightly gloomy weather! This place has a stunning interior! Definitely those murals are a showstopper! The actual restaurant gives you a perfect mix of "authentic Greek family restaurant" with the looks of a more modern European bistro. We shared the Spread Sampler and the Dolmades. The sampler had: Hummus (chickpeas blended with sesame seed butter and oil), Crazy Feta (whipped feta cheese, with cherry peppers and olive oil), Tzatziki (Greek yogurt, garlic, dill and cucumber) paired with pitas and cucumber slices; every dip was generous portioned, the four of us enjoyed lots of each! Their crazy feta dip and their tzatziki were our favorites! The quality of their Greek yogurt and their feta cheese is spectacular! The dolmades had the right marinated and didn't taste "old" or rancid like in other Greek spots I've had food before. Everyone ordered a different platter with their own side options (all the platters come with 2 options of sides and small portion of pita and tzatziki). I ordered the shrimp platter with salad and stewed green beans; the salad was more like a non spicy pico de gallo with some chopped lettuce (I was happy with it!), these are the best seasoned stewed green beans I've had in so long! Also the chunk of feta cheese on top was spot on! The shrimp was perfectly marinated and grilled. My husband had the lamb gyro and our friends had the falafel platter and shrimp platter as well. They got fries and rice, I tried some of the fries and were pretty good (not dripping in oil or browned). Solid spot if you are visiting Richmond! I really want to come back, because I regret not ordering their flaming halloumi cheese they served to table next to us!!!! read more

Running errands in Cary Town and we stopped into Greek on Cary for the first time. There was a wait at 2pm which to me is always a great sign. We were greeted promptly and opted to order takeout. My husband ordered a lamb gyro platter and I had the Chicken Souvlaki Pita. The food was prepared quickly but even the short wait had our stomach's growling because everything smelled so good. When we got home we devoured our food. It was excellent. I think it may be the best Tzatziki I have ever had. I wish I had a giant bowl of it. Highly recommend- can't wait to go back! read more

Iniside was nice! When you enter the store there is a place for takeout then you get seated on the other side of the restaurant. Gives me the impression that it's very popular with takeout! It gives a very modern vibe and was pretty well lit. Food was good, but did not wow me! I did love the pita though, and I wouldn't mind getting the lamb again if I happened to go! Service was wonderful! read more

A very poorly constructed and tasteless mess of a gyro. Old, reheated, chewy meat, store bought pico de gallo thrown on top and the lettuce thrown in with the hot meat and taziki till it wilted. Just a mess of salty chewy, sloppy goo. Fries were limp and seemed to have been cooked in old grease. Go elsewhere for a $19 gyro meal. You'll be glad you did. read more

This place surprised us! Whatever wonderful ooey gooey goodness of sauce came with the Spanakopita was outstanding. The flakiness of both this aforementioned appetizer and the dessert baklava dishes was outstanding. Everything had just the right amount of crisp and tang - with flavors so unique, they left me questioning whether or not Richmond has any other place even remotely like this one. Super friendly staff and a beautiful interior with decorations that made me feel like I was transported into an authentic Greek cafe. Only big bummer was they were out of the saganaki cheese appetizer... that and I could've personally used more chicken in the entree but it was also lunchtime so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more

Been a while since we've been in; there are SO many great places to eat in Carytown, and so few opportunities to get here. But today is pretty chilly, and when you want delicious, hot, filling, and reasonably priced food you just can't go wrong with Greek. My Bride and I both decided to get the Lamb Gyro platter ($15 each), and both chose the rice and green beans as our sides. We literally walked in, got seated, ordered, and had our food in front of us in under 10 minutes. And what food! A mountain of delicious lamb, cooked to perfection! A fluffy drift of rice! So many delicious beans in that amazing sauce, and with a salty wedge of cheese on top! Hestia surely smiled on the chef at birth, and continues to bless them (and us) to this day. The food needing no ornament, we stuck with the water to drink- it was the perfect choice. Even with Richmond's usurious taxes, our lunch came just to $34.05 including tax, but before tip. Walk, run, or build a pair of wax wings and fly to Greek on Cary! read more

LOVE Greek on Cary! The food is absolutely amazing and the portion sizes are great. Definitely enough for a little to-go box for later. The drinks during happy hour are also great, amazing for get together with friends. Service can be a little hard to wave down during the meal when they are busy. But it's totally understandable. Small place with cute vibes. Definitely recommend! read more

Came here for a weeknight dinner with a friend. Had a lovely time! We shared the Grilled Vegetable Stack and the Pikilia (basically an appetizer sampler). The food was super fresh and tasty! I loved the dolmades and tiropita, and the hummus and tzatziki was creamy and delicious. Service was quick and kind, and the ambiance is lovely. Would definitely come here again! Food felt healthy and tasty. read more

I cannot say enough great things about this place. I am a flight attendant and first found myself here in October. I just looked up "food near me" and randomly picked this place. I got there and asked the server for her recommendation and she brought me a meal with chicken, rice, pita, tzatziki, and chopped salad. Everything was SO fresh and SO good, and the portions were HUGE! The fall sangria they had was also wonderful. Everytime I am back, I convince the pilots to make the journey to this restaurant. Last time I visited, we tried all the appetizers, and everything was so good. My favorite was the flaming cheese. I find myself craving this place all the time, states away. Can't wait to be back! read more

Stopped here for lunch while shopping around Carytown. It was packed full with only a couple seats left at the bar. After getting our food, we understood why! The lamb gyro was one of the best we've had, and the falafel was crispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside. Don't skip the lemon pepper fries! Topped off our meal with a slice of pistachio baklava. So worth the stop! read more

I've been wanting to try Greek on Cary forever. I grew up on a Mediterranean diet, so I usually avoid Greek places because Mom made it best. However, when my friends invited me to get takeout here with them, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to finally try it. Do note: everytime I pass this place it looks so cute inside. After trying it, I definitely want to return to the restaurant to order more. Here's what we got: Zucchini fritters: Loved the sauce that came with this. Had a very nice crunch and was a wholesome thing to eat. I normally wouldn't have ordered this on my own, but glad I tried it. Chicken gyro pita and falafel gyro pita: My friend loved her falafel pita. I loved the bread they used for these gyros. The chicken was tasty too. Dolmades: I'm picky with these since I grew up with them. While they didn't quite reach what I love and am used to, they were still pretty tasty. Horiatiki Salad: My friend loves this salad because she finds lettuce to be a waste of space. It's all the tasty stuff that goes in a salad without the actual lettuce. I liked it a lot. Fries: A bit plain so we added some other spices, but the way the potato was prepared was very good. Saganaki: You probably don't want to get saganaki as takeout unless you eat it immediately, because it was a little rubbery. Ignoring that, it was very tasty. I'm excited to return to try more at Greek on Cary. read more

The patio here is such a hidden gem. The inside seating feels very much like a carytown storefront, but upon walking out the back door you are immediately transported to a quaint Grecian patio that perfectly fits the restaurant. I got the felafel platter with rice and salad as my sides. Everything was delicious and it was the perfect amount of food- pretty classic, authentic Greek food that was what I expected. I haven't tried felafel often, but I really enjoyed this one. The rice was quite flavorful also. The burger which came with grilled halloumi looked amazing - if I go back I would get that over the platter for sure. Conclusion: the food was delicious and classic as expected. The ambiance of the patio is the reason I give this place 5 stars! read more

Greek on Cary - Falafel Platter (with salad and rice) - Greek Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

This restaurant has such a cute interior and everyone is super nice there, but the food just wasn't my favorite. It wasn't too pricy so I didn't feel that bad about it not being as good as I hoped. Maybe the meats are better, but I am a vegetarian, so a dish with falafel sounded delicious as I was craving Greek food! I love a good falafel, so I went ahead and ordered the falafel platter. I've had my fair share of Mediterranean food, and this was just not as good as I had hoped! I felt like the falafel was a bit mushy for something that's fried. The pita wasn't that fresh, I don't think they make it, but even if they do or don't, I just wish it had been served warm. Neither were the greek green beans. I felt like they tasted like canned green beans but the sauce was pretty decent. The tzatziki was not bad. The best part of the meal was actually the fries so I was glad that I ordered those! I wish I had more positive things to write, but maybe I'll try something different next time and it will be better! read more

Greek food is one of my favorites and Greek on Cary is the cream of the crop! They have a wide variety of protein options such as falafel, lamb, seafood, or chicken shawarma. Order a platter to pair these options with any of their sides like salad, stewed green beans, rice or pita for a meal that hits the spot. I love the generous portions for a great price and how the food is served warm with plenty of seasoning for flavor that really packs a punch. The feta and tzatziki here is top notch and pair flawless with anything on the menu to round out your meal. During warm weather months, I suggest asking to seat on their back patio for a lovely atmosphere. read more

If you don't yet have time for a trip to Greece the next best thing is to visit Greek On Cary. The atmosphere is light and airy with a colorful mural on the wall depicting Greek Mythology. The tables feature rattan chairs. The wait staff are warm and welcoming. Zoe is very nice and personable and can converse about various subjects. The food is amazing. I like the soup and salad and combo. You get a bowl of chicken orzo soup and a small Greek salad. The only improvement I would suggest is to put less lemon in the soup. It obscures the flavor. Steve and I like the chicken gyro and I am a big fan of souvlaki especially chicken and shrimp. My Steve enjoys side dishes especially the sweet potato fries. And they have Mr. Pibb soda which not many restaurants carry. A little taste of Greece in southern Richmond. Well I always did like diversity. read more

A very disappointing 3 (being generous). I've been to this place several times with friends, and remember the food to be pretty good (perhaps not ever mind blowing). This time around I came with my mom and was really disappointed by both the service and food. The waitress could not be bothered to help us, and seemed annoyed every time we asked for a simple request - like a cup with ice for the Greek soda we ordered that was brought to us as a small bottle with no cup. The food itself was bleh. We ordered the chicken shawarma platter with rice and beans. The chicken tasted bland, cold, and microwaved. The rice has completely plain and the beans were underwhelming and flavorless. The appetizer platter was pretty decent. Everything on it with the exception of the felafel was tasty, including the Greek salad, grape leaves, and spanakopita. All in all a disappointing experience for my return back to the RVA. read more

GREAT food! GREAT service! Ambiance was great too. The serving size is huge. And don't leave without getting any of the desserts!

Met some friends for linner and this place did not disappoint! Three people shared the calamari and PIKILIA, and let me tell you, our tummies were full! The breading on the calamari wasn't too thick, and the taste was super unique. The service was great! Our server was attentive and kept checking in on us even after we finished our food. She kept coming back to fill our waters haha Our table was a little wobbly, and they came to fix it by shoving a napkin under one of the legs, haha. Will we return? Yeah absolutely! read more

My husband and I come frequently for lunch, but haven't been for happy hour before until 2 days ago. While we love the Greek salad, avgolemeno, and the falafel, this was our first time trying the Greek nachos (only offered during HH). They were delicious yet confusing, since the pita is only on the sides and the center is more like a dip situation. Honestly, there was so much tzaziki sauce on them that it was overwhelming and it made it hard to eat. Besides that, I've always had a good experience here and the service is fantastic read more

This might be one of my favorite Greek spots in Virginia, hands down. We got the Pikilia and the Lamb Gyro to share between 3 people and it was perfect! The table was quiet the whole time, everyone was eating non-stop, it was just so delicious! Pikilia: The perfect sampler for the table! Everything was great, I think the price for the amount of food was worth it. Gyro: Meat was very tender and flavorful, and we opted to sub in the eggplant fries which 10/10 you should also do, I can't recommend enough!! read more
