Platters
Jean W.

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

Calamari
Tabitha H.

Amazing food! Didn't have to wait at all for 2 people even on a Saturday night and the whole place was busy! The calamari was great. Highly recommend the lamb/beef gyro

Lamb and chicken gyro
Shonicia L.

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.

Delicious! We got the calamari, Greek salad, dolmades, and octopus. Loved all of it. They have really done suxj an amazing job at revamping this place over the past 5 years. Lived the separate dining room- so cute. Will definitely be back soon.

Beefteki Platter with fries & rice
Nikki J.

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!

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.

wanted to give an update. that i ended up in the emergency room and was told that there was fecal matter in my food. do not come here unless you want to be poisoned with poop. absolutely disgusting

Lamb Gyro Platter
Fiorella H.

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!!!!

Food and service were amazing!!! Everything was fresh and tasty and didn't make me feel like after!! Can't wait to come back soon, this will be a staple of mine!

Large Mixed Platter
Menghai T.

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

Great food and great service Very friendly family style…read morerestaurant Small but always enough space

I have been craving Greek food for awhile and decided to try Stella's. I've been told this is one…read moreof the best restaurants in Richmond and so I had high expectations. To be honest my overall experience was sort of just meh and forgettable so I'm not sure I'd be back. To be clear though I did not dine in I placed an order for takeout. The first 3 times I called the phone didn't go through and then the fourth time someone was pretty rude on the other end of the phone. They close at 10 and I ordered takeout around 8 and she very pointedly told me they don't usually take takeout orders past 5pm but since they were slow she would make an exception. Since it doesn't say this on the anywhere on their website I felt like the overall attitude and tone she was giving me was rude and pretentious. She acted like I should've known their takeout policy and the fact she was making an exception for me I should be so grateful. Lol. It's just food. Anyway. I showed up to pickup and the interior seemed really nice. The plates I saw go by looked well appointed. The gentleman who handed me my food was pretty polite. There were a few servers that walked by that sort of seemed to give me a stink eye or glare at me for standing next to the host stand which is tiny and right next to their entrance. Overall I just felt like I was sort of imposing by picking up my order. The general vibe I got in person confirmed how I felt on the phone - the staff take themselves way too seriously and they are pretentious about pretty average food. I ordered the pastitsio and the moussaka. I ate all of the pastitsio and it was okay. I felt like the layering was really well done as was the meat sauce. However the bechamel on top was a bit too sweet for my taste and the nutmeg was slightly overpowering in this dish which made it feel a bit too sweet for my palette. Pastitsio is one of my favorites so this was sort of a bummer. The moussaka frankly was not good. I didn't find any potato in it (maybe Stella's version doesn't have it) but the eggplant was borderline raw tasting. I'm not sure what eggplant variety they use but it was more similar to a green bell pepper than a roasted eggplant. It was EXTREMELY tough and chewy and overall just a total pain to eat. I tried to cut into the layers and would pull out an entire giant slice of green eggplant because I couldn't cut through it. Yuck. It also suffered from the same slightly too sweet thing going on with the bechamel that the other dish did. I did not like this one at all which is sad bc I love moussaka. 2/5 Overall I'm not sure I'd be back. The service was pretentious and a bit uncomfortable I didn't feel very welcomed buying food from here and the food itself was below my expectations. The ambiance and value are both fine (both entrees together were $50 which to me is not bad at all) but I may look elsewhere for Greek in RVA before returning here.

This place punches well above its weight class. There were a couple things that really impressed me…read moretonight. The food first of all was incredible. Some very tender octopus, the fries are perfect for dipping more on that later. And the meatballs were great, but that Caesar salad salad is truly amazing with all of the seasonings and their homemade Caesar dressing. The fact that they make all of their sauces in house, I give a nod to the chef for that because they have some incredible sauces. One of the things that really impressed me was the fact that I ordered the fries and the waitress asked if I wanted the sampler sauces. I was thinking that that was going to be an additional charge, but I was wrong. The sampler was included with the fries and that came with about five or so of their homemade sauces. The Caribbean bean chili was my favorite, but I also enjoyed their ranch and lemon aïoli as well. They were really all great. I just want to give a shout out to pinkies for not nickel and diming the consumer when so many other restaurants and chains do that. I will be back off of that level of Customer Service service alone. I was also very impressed with the portion sizes. When you hear Tapas that typically means high price, low quantity of food. But here I feel like you actually get what you pay for. I was very impressed. A place with amazing food and a good bang for your buck is five stars any day from me. Thank you for an amazing dinner.

We dined here twice in one weekend because of convenience and the food being good enough to repeat! We did not have reservations either time, and we were seated right away. There was space for our stroller. The inside of the restaurant is like a big garage, and it's quite loud (but our baby likes the loud noise). Outside, they have big umbrellas to provide some shade. Highlights from the menu include the grilled octopus, caesar salad, meatballs, and desserts (both cheesecake and olive oil cake). The meatballs were so tender and saucy. The octopus was cooked well, and the seasoning was great. The only dish we didn't love was the scallops. The scallops were overwhelmed by the accompanying chorizo in the dish. The server we had the first night was not friendly or warm. It seemed like she did not care to be there. But there were no mistakes or major issues. We enjoyed Pinky's, and it was a good choice for brunch on a busy weekend and for dinner without a reservation. I'd recommend checking it out.

The owner shared w us some details of the move and how their current spot used to be a bank, so awesome! We started w the grape leaves, babagounush and tabouleh which were SO fresh and delicious!

Trust me, you will thank me after the first bite.

It was hard not to compare the menu items to the Stella's versions which are heavy hitters. Overall I'd say it's convenient since I live nearby, but I'm in no rush to go back.
