I'm a Greek boy from Chicago. Greektown does a terrific job. Outside of my mom's and yiayia's, I don't order Pastitsio in restaurants. Just doesn't come close to what I grew up with. George's ROCKS! Last night I couldn't decide between the Pastitsio and the Lamb Capama, a wine and tomato sauce braised lamb shank. George just brought me out a half order of both. This part comes from my wife, ( I concur) best calamari ever. These folks do a terrific job, soup and salad come with all the dinners as well as pita and garlic breads. Get some saganaki, yell Opah with George as he lights the brandy on your cheese dish, maybe cap off your meal with a good quality ouzo, and leave stuffed and happy. His baklava gives my sister Pam's a run for her money too. read more

This place is AWESOME!!! My friends and I came here because of the reviews and boy were they right! We started with the calamari and it was delicious! We all agreed! I had the Pasteeto and a side of the George's chicken and it was soooo flavorful and perfectly seasoned, just delicious! Our meals came with soup and that was tasty as well! The owner was our waiter and he was so much fun and personable! There was a family celebrating a birthday while we ate and after happy birthday was sung they threw a plate against the wall and everyone said "OPAAA" it was so awesome!! We loved it! The food, staff, atmosphere was just 5 star all the way. Oh and we had the cheesecake with a chunk of baklava on the top of it and it was to die for!! So dang good!! This is my new fav place!! Will be bringing the rest of my friends and family here!! read more

Hello, this hidden gem is the best. Take a date, go for prom or just stop by with your family and enjoy some awesome family style greek food. Great place, great prices and great ambiance and Greek food. Backstreet read more

Excellent Greek food made in-house. It's not the common valley Gyro place, more often run by owners of mid-east decent. Being a full-blooded 2nd generation American of Greek decent, and born in Chicago, with Grandfather and uncles in the business, I promise you George and family are the real deal! I had the home-made Gyro and Pastitsio dinners and every bite was good down to the Greek-lemon potatoes (awesome!). Going back soon for their lamb chops. Thank you, JD read more

Like walking into the restaurant from My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but better. A family-owned restaurant with amazing, lively personable owners. The food was unbelievable - must haves are moussaka with potatoes so light and whipped its like you're eating air, the lemon chicken and rice soup and the incredible white chocolate mousse, baklava cheesecake! read more

This is possibly the best food i have had in phoenix. This restaurant needs to open in NYC. Excellent food and great service

so very disappointing, traveled an hour one way, bad neighborhood with a shooting shortly and robbery after our visit. Ordered saganaki to start, it was stringy and after two chews it seemed like gum in your mouth. Ordered mousaka and petitiso, arrived room temperature. We basically went here for the mousaka. Mousaka was mediocre at best. Asked for a sangria, it seemed that the owner added fruit juice to a red wine and charged $8.95 Won't go back or recommend to others! read more

I was here with my family celebrating my great-grandma's 101st birthday and I was incredibly impressed with the service and the food. We were treated like family throughout the meal, which was delicious. I had Gaia's Garden, which was a tasty vegetarian dish with potato, zucchini, broccoli, carrots, and pilaf. The baklava cheesecake was pretty epic. My first visit here, but I felt like I'd been going here forever. A very special occasion was made even more special by the wonderful folks at Greektown. Thank you! read more

Probably my favorite geek spot. Calamari is a must for an appetizer . It's a pretty comfortable restaurant and the guy running it can be pretty entertaining . The cheese cake was also really good . They even threw in some complimentary shots. To top it all off the food is very affordable. read more

The restaurant is well-decorated & has an "authentic" vibe w/ Greek music playing, dancing on the screen. However, the server was obnoxious, which killed our date night vibes. Loud & over-attentive, or at least not attentive in the helpful way we would've liked (e.g. bringing oil for the bread). I thought the food was mediocre and a bit over-priced. The server was convincing, so we went for the "baklava cheesecake." I make baklava myself at home, & this had clearly been sitting out for too long, yet was somehow still dry (typically will soak up the syrup & get moister). He also killed it by drizzling what tasted like Nesquick choco syrup over it. NY-style cheesecake itself was good, although that's not what you look for in a Greek restaurant. Unfortunately it's the type of place where they charge you extra for every little thing; case in point, we told him we were pescatarians, yet he brought us a soup w/ chicken broth, then didn't offer to replace it w/ anything. My boyfriend's shrimp dish was over-salted. Finally, the restaurant's in a rough neighborhood. Tourists & those who've never tasted real Greek food may be fooled, but not those who've had Yia-yia's! read more

I'm really surprised by all the great reviews so I think we just came on an off night or maybe we are just used to really great Greek food from back home but the food was just ok. We got a Greek salad which was just ok nothing special and the lamb over orzo. My husband is Greek so he has had many lamb dishes and he thought it was fine but would not order again. Everyone was really nice just too bad it didn't live up to expectations. read more

We had the most wonderful dinner at this restaurant, everything we ordered was fabulous....!!!! The owner and his family are super, never had as great a time for an evening out.... My birthday was so much more enjoyable because of their hospitality and excellent cuisine.... The baklava chocolate cheese cake with vanilla cream mousse is heavenly.... They made me a cheesecake lover.... We will return many times, it is now our #1 restaurant in the valley.... There are so many items on their menu we are going to try.... You won't just sit and have a meal, you will be entertained with humor and enjoy the most excellent dining experience of a life time..... We'll be back next week so many great foods to enjoy, remember my teramousalata .... Dott.... We loved Greektown....!!!! read more

Great food and even better atmosphere! Owner and staff are so hospitable, we loved the food and them!! Highly recommend, doesn't look like too much from the outside but don't let it fool you the food is fantastic read more

Some of the best authentic Greek food I have ever had. Family owned and ran, great service and great food. We will definitely be back!

This is by far some of the best Greek food I've ever eaten. I'm Greek and I have been to Greece many times, and the food here at Greektown is as good or better than anything I've ever had. The owner is great! He makes you feel like you're in his own home. You can tell by the food and service that this is his home. read more

This is one of my favorite places to go with friends. The food is always great and the it's always friendly. My favorite is the Tortellini, but it too much for me to eat by myself, so we get one for the table and then order something else lie the Chicken stuff with spinage and cheese. The owner is always fun. I can recommend it highly. read more

This place is a gem. The food is savory and delicious, the prices are extremely reasonable and the owner, George is a sweetheart. In fact, on a recent visit, he even held and calmed my 2 month old daughter so that my husband and I could enjoy our hot entrees! The Moussaka is a flavor explosion and you can't go wrong ordering any dish with "George" in the name. We'll be back again and again as long as the doors are open! read more

Food was alright. Service was horrible. He rushed us to order when we were inquiring about what was in the food he was over aggressive instead of suggesting he was ordering for us and kept taking the menu. I asked for lemons with my drink and got 2 lemon slices that had been clearly sitting out for a while and were starting to shrivel I asked for fresh ones and he snapped at me that he had just cut them which was obviously a lie. Will not be returning .. Ever read more

Greektown has the best dolmades in Phoenix. The augolemono sauce is wonderful and plentiful on the dolmades Dolmades are grapes stuffed with a mixture of meat and spices. The pita bread is great. It melts in your mouth. Always ask for the special of the day , they are inventive and delicious. It is always fun to shout OPA! with the waiters as they deliver the wonderful flaming cheese dish. If the waiters are not pleased with the effort of the shout they will ask you to try again. Opa! read more

This place is awesome! George embodies old-school genuine hospitality and warmth. He greets you at the front door with a smile, pours a drink, and has his touch and presence on every table in the dining room. My family is Greek, and we have had a hard time finding good Greek food in the valley. We will DEFINITELY be back. Order the lamb and snails. read more

Cheeky waiter/owner. Good recommendations and good food. Don't ask for hummos - he actually got kind offended and said this wasn't a yuppie establishment. read more

Pretty awesome place to the max. 2 dollar pbr drafts. Jello shots. And free edibles to keep down the inebriation . No company's too be had. Check them out. Then check them out again. Them you'll wane too check them out a third time read more

Best tzatziki I've ever had, hands down. The mousaka was incredible, the lemon soup was delicious, and the baklava cheesecake for dessert had REAL WHIPPED CREAM. You HAVE to try this place :) read more

This is the best Greek food I've ever had! It's more of a 'homestyle cooking' sort of place. This food is fresh and perfectly seasoned. The menu is diverse yet simple. The different ouzo drinks from the bar are worth the trip alone. Do try the ouzo bloody mary. I had the Chicken George which was a grilled chicken with mushrooms and artichokes in a light sauce. My date had the lamb chops and both were fabulous. Don't leave without the Baklava Cheesecake. Service was excellent the owner is highly entertaining. I'm looking forward to my next visit! read more

The food here is great. We had a lot of appetizers. The calamari and the Greek salad are great. There was also a cheese dish that was good...it went well with the fresh pita and bread brought to the table. We tried many items based on recommendations of the owner/server. He was very attentive and chatty. My main course was a grilled chicken gyro, although it was very good the veal that my gf got was excellent. Everybody at our table loved their food. The owner even brought us all shots of ouzo before we left...excellent with the rice pudding. I'll be back here for sure. read more

Delicious food and friendly staff!!! I've come back here several times and enjoyed it each time. Their lunch is quick for those going back to work. I highly recommend the gyro and to add pork. George wasn't kidding when he said the pork gyro is phenomenal. read more

Great Gyro - Don't ask for French Fries - YIKES! Love the atmosphere, customer service was great & to the point!!!!

Excellent food, but even better enthusiasm from George. Was my first time there but definitely won't be my last. You will walk in as a stranger but leave as a member of the family. read more

This place is awesome! Real authentic Greek food. I grew up with two Greek uncles and the food here reminded me of the meals we used to share. The price was very reasonable and the owner is super friendly!!!! I can't wait to go back! read more

What a great place. It's like having dinner at George's house. Try the spanokopita...delicious...oohpa!!For mains try the lamb chops (George will ask you if you want it bloody or black (try it medium. .. superb). The shrimp Turkolimano is amazing shrimp stuffed with feta cheese and spicy tomatoes...yumm. everything comes with wonderful Bread, soup (a lovely chicken lemon rice soup, and the best Greek said in town. Prices are amazing inexpensive. Save room for one of Georges homemade desserts. Sourly best Greek restaurant in Phoenix read more

We have been enjoying this place for a few years now, and have never been disappointed. The food is great and the owner is skilled at making you feel like family. Support local businesses here in the valley or all that will be left are the bland and boring chains. read more

My wife and I love this place. I don't care that the building's a thousand years old. I don't care that it was decorated in 1972. I think George is friendly, funny, and interesting. But, I do see where some would find him intrusive and overbearing. The food is awesome. The calamari is one of the best I've ever had. The best meals I've had are when I just ask George what's good today and tell him to bring it on. Yep, don't order anything. Just let him know what courses you want and let him craft a meal for you. Except for the calamari, definitely order that. read more

Great neighborhood joint, solidly delicious freshly made Greek food. Seems to be family run and the staff is quite charming and lively. Decent selection of beer & wine (ouzo cocktails, even!). Nice place! read more

Wow! Dropped in for a quick lunch and discovered a total gem of place. The gyros was excellent, but not the star of the show. Got talked into trying the baklava cheesecake and was blown away. I know what you're thinking... baklava and cheesecake why have I never heard of this before? Next time I'm in Phoenix I'm coming back no matter what part of town I'm in. read more

Lived in Phoenix my whole life and I make a point of trying new restaurants any chance I get. This was my first experience with Greek food. Holy crap, I am addicted. The spanakopites are to die for. George is so cool and friendly, really makes the experience that much more intimate and memorable. I always get lamb any chance I get now because of here. This is absolutely one of the best places in Phoenix to dine. If you have people visiting, this is one of the gems that proves the city has more to offer than pretty scenery. If you've never been, you're missing out. read more

Amazing place! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking top notch Greek food. George the owner is anazing with the customers, the service is fast, and the food is delicious. I highly recommend the gyro. The meat is very tender, flavorful and they load it on. The tatziki is very fresh, and has small chunks of cucumber throughout it. The fries are perfectly crisp and seasoned with herbs. Also, the baklava cheesecake is the best cheesecake I've ever had. The cheesecake is pleasantly tangy which is well balance by the nuts and honey in the baklava. It also comes with a generous portion of fresh whipped cream topped with cinnamon and a honey drizzle. read more

Been coming to this place for years. Lunch/dinner/ doesn't matter. Food is always great as is the atmosphere. Best Greek food around, hands down. read more

Greektown is home to the best moussaka and calamari in the city, hands down. If you feel like comfort food, order the pastitsio, a Greek noodle casserole which probably carries enough calories to power a small city. If you're in for some lighter fare, try the fisherman's salad. Shrimp, squid and scallops punctuate this dinner-sized salad. Along with a bowl of George's sublime avgolemono soup, this is a hearty meal. If you go, bring your sense of humor and tolerance for a little noise. Greektown is raucous fun in the best traditions of the Mediterranean disposition. Expect off-color jokes from the staff. Loosen up with a snifter of seven-star metaxa or a "windex", George's creation combining ouzo and other liquors. The desserts are outstanding, from the chocolate mousse to the creamy rice pudding, and you'd have to be crazy not to try the baklava. I've never had a bad meal at Greektown, and I've eaten there quite a bit. Drop in on George sometime. He'll treat you like family. read more

Good honest food at a reasonable price.

Delicious Food and Great Atmosphere! This just might be the best kept secret in Phoenix! If you love Greek Food, you gotta try this little spot read more
