    Chicken Kabob Salad
    Rebecca C.

    I really enjoyed the food here. The chicken gyro was very oily but I would go back to get something similar but maybe in a salad. My boyfriend got a chicken salad and he said it was really good. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was nice. It was a bit loud when we went.

    Chicken Gyro
    Tamara A.

    I am so happy I found this place! I ordered a chicken gyro and it was a huge portion of tasty chicken and fries in a pita with a light honey mustard sauce. It was out of this world! There is actually a lot of seating and the place is very comfortable. They put my food on a beautiful plate as you can see in the photo. The employees were friendly and helpful. I can't wait to return and try something else, they have a large menu of Greek dishes.

    Lamb Kebab Plate
    Suha L.

    I went back to Gyro City after not going for a few years and their quality has gotten so much better. They've also expanded their menu and has tonss of options! This is counter service so you order at the front and you can see them make your plate in front of you. Lots of seating area but it seems like a take-out heavy spot. I got the lamb kebab plate which came with rice pilaf, lamb obviously, greek salad, and tzatziki sauce. The portions are HUGE. This plate was two satisfying meals for me. The lamb was also so flavorful and juicy and there were not skimpy with the meat. Loved the salad too, especially because I am a huge feta cheese girl. I will say, the dishes here are more expensive than other fast Greek restaurants I've been to. But the portions make it worth because you're essentially paying for two meals.

    Chicken Gyro Sandwich
    Tessa L.

    Good place for a quick bite to eat or order to-go! Chicken Gyro Sandwich - 4/5 Not much parking, street parking only Was good, but nothing spectacular Came here on a Sunday night for a quick bite. The interior of the restaurant is pretty spacious and has a good amount of seating if you want to dine-in. You order can order at the counter and find a place to sit or take to-go. I ordered the chicken gyro sandwich to-go. Didn't have to wait long, maybe 5 min at most for my order. The chicken gyro sandwich itself is not bad! Quite filling and heavy since they add fries in gyro as well. Instead of the traditional tzatziki sauce, they use a mustard sauce. Though I prefer the traditional sauce, the mustard isn't bad! Service was quick! Would definitely come again to try other things on the menu. They have quite a good selection of items to try and a small refrigerated area for drinks and an assortment of sauces and dips you can purchase.

    Falafel Pita
    Jessica T.

    My boyfriend put me on to this place because he's been obsessed for YEARS! I finally got to try it out and ordered the Falafel pita since I'm vegetarian. This was my first time trying a gyro and 10/10 recommend this authentic stop. The portion was HUGE, but I couldn't stop eating because it was sooo good. We ordered a side of French fries too, but thought that it could have used some salt (personal preference). Service was quick and place was nice and clean. Would go back again!

    Chicken Gyro Plate
    Donna L.

    I've only ordered takeout from here, but it is consistently good. I usually get the chicken gyro plate with salad and rice. The portion sizes are huge. Its around $25 but I usually get 2 meals out of it. The keftedes (meatballs) with tzatziki sauce are also bomb. One of my favorite places in the area

    Greek salad with Chicken

    Freshest salad, grilled chicken to perfection, peppers onions olives feta I mean seriously one of the most delicious salads I've eaten!! I have eaten at the restaurant as well and the staff is always very kind and friendly. Why this place doesn't have ten stars is beyond me!

    Pork gyro pita
    Erika K.

    The pork gyro pita is amazing! The pork is juicy and flavorful, the fries are crispy and the other ad-ons make it really well balanced. Do be warned it is definitely a little greasy as you can expect. The price is very reasonable as well. I've never had greek rice pudding before. Not my personal cup of tea but it was nice to try something new. The food comes out very fast and there's also plenty of spacious indoor seating. They offered a small student discount! Staff is friendly as well.

    Vince H.

    Apps: - Kolokithokeftedes: A bit heavy on the feta and dill for me. Additionally, the middle was a bit mushy, a result of it being a bit thick. The outside was crisp and had good taste. - Hummus & Pita: Great hummus and good pita Entree: Lambchops were great! cooked and seasoned to perfection, and reasonably priced for 4 pieces.

    a taste of greece in the boston
    Melanie H.

    I had walked past this place several times and had a feeling it would be absolutely delicious, but had been hurt by bad Mediterranean food before so I wasn't sure. But boy am I glad I finally came in because it was absolutely delicious and authentic! I was giddy just walking around and waiting for my food and the first bite-I didn't even have time for a picture because I dove right in! I got the pork gyro wrap that came with pork, sauce, onions and tomatoes, and fries. The pork was super tender and juicy and really complemented the other pieces within the wrap. I will 100% be going back because I think I just found my favorite greek food place thus far in Boston!

    Shawarma Rotiserrie

    Overall: 9/10 Taste: 9/10 - Best tasting grab and go Greek food I've had in Boston. Wide variety of options but the shawarma is the star. I like how they let it get extra crisp giving it an added layer of flavor. Everything else complements the meaty, succulent shawarma. Price: 10/10 - The food is great value. The price on the menu may be misleading with the shawarma plate listed as $20. However, the portion sizes make up well for the prices. Service: 8/10 - The workers are good with announcing numbers loud, however, aren't super friendly. Ambiance: 9/10 - Nice casual feel with TVs. The trash was overfilled though.

    Gyros Dinner pork
    Zaraid J.

    Flavors - 4.8/5 Textures - 4.5/5 Presentation - 4.5/5 Value for Money - 4.5/5 Would return? Yes Must-try: Gyro Dinner Pork I LOVE this place! I go to both locations ALL the time! The food is insanely flavorful, fresh and so well prepared. The gyro (pork or chicken) are seasoned perfectly and they have an earthy, salty flavor. Sometimes I find it a little oily though! My go to is the gyro dinner which comes with a greek salad, fries, pita bread and tzatziki. The fries are nothing to write home about. The salad, even though basic, is so good! The dressing is slightly sweet and the freshness cuts the fat from the gyro. The bread is warm and soft, and the tzatziki brings the whole dish together - it adds texture, moisture and complements all the flavors. Also, the portions are generous and it can easily feed 2 people. The falafel is also amazing! Super crispy outside, tender inside, fresh and flavorful. I come here at least twice a month and can't get enough!

We ordered the meatballs, the souvla of the day and the salad. Everything was so tasty. You can't go wrong with anything here. The table next to us had the huge sampler which was about $240 but was one of every dish on the menu. This is a perfect choice for six to 8 people. Service was super friendly. They left a large bottle of water on the table, which I love. The restrooms were clean and well stocked. Go here! You won't regret it.

    I would've given Krasi five stars for the bread rolls alone. Almost everyone in my dinner party…read morenominated this as their favorite. The menu refers to these as "Greek cheese bread" but somehow that doesn't do it justice - these were immensely pillowy and cheesy, with an amazing crust, with homemade honey butter on the side. I could have had just these for dinner and been satisfied. They really nailed the bread. My other favorites: 1. Hipiti: spicy whipped feta with crispy potatoes on the side. I don't do well with spice but I absolutely loved this. 2. Marouli: winter lettuce with the most amazing vinaigrette dressing. My only knock to this is, presentation-wise, they serve it with half of the plate empty and the other half with salad. I don't understand why restaurants do this because - one, it only highlights the smaller portion and two, we're just going to mix the salad all around in the bowl anyway. 3. Boudeto: daily catch in a beautiful tomato broth. For a seafood dish at a restaurant in Back Bay, this was priced at a fairly reasonable $28. The only dish that fell a little flat for me was the tzatziki - needed a bit more seasoning. As it was, I was eating mostly just plain yogurt. The table-side preparation was cool, though. The space is its own visual dinner, there's simply a lot to look at (including a drawing of Poseidon riding a surf board). We got the big table in the back, which was a beautiful glass structure with a whole terrarium underneath. We couldn't stop marveling at it throughout the meal. Our waiter was wonderful - very helpful recommendations, came by to check on us often even though we were pretty far in the back, super patient with our questions. Hard to get reservations but worth it! Don't bother driving / trying to find parking unless you're willing to eat a hefty garage fee, it's Back Bay.

Then the Paros IPA - crisp, refreshing, and immediately made it clear I would have 2. Lamb meatballs followed - more oval than ball, but I'm not here to police shapes. Sat on a bed of tzatziki. No complaints. Moussaka was next: warm, rich, comforting. I love beef and potatoes. Then pork vs. chicken souvlaki. Waiter warned: pork's fattier, chicken's his preference. Got both. He was right - chicken wins. Only critique: One less dish and we would've had room for baklava... Would go back. Would order less. Would always say yes to bread.

    Got to head over to Kava for a second round today and try some things I did not get around to last…read moretime, so here are my thoughts: The food REMAINS IMPECCABLE. I was obsessed with the octopus last time and it was once again grilled to perfection with excellent acidity. The zucchini chips were delightful (even as someone who hates zucchini's). The feta psiti was a comfort per usual. What blew me away and I was so excited to try was the lamb chops. They were cooked to perfection, the look was closer to a medium-well (we asked for medium) but the meat was still perfectly juicy and spiced. The mousaka was also lovely, I have only had this dish homemade and it certainly held its own... definitely had a homemade feel with a generous meat portion. The Roka salad was also lovely. As far as drinks go, I enjoyed my aperol spritz and my spicy margarita a lot, I especially like the tsipouro having tried it as a shot the first time, but I think if I were to go again, I might go for wine for a more consistent liquor content. Now let's talk about service. I want to preface that certain things would 1000% be overlooked had we reserved for a busier time, but we went in 15 minutes after opening and by the looks of it, there were more than enough servers for the tables filled in the patio. The first time that I tried Kava, part of the excellent experience was our server. They were such a sweet person who really took the time to bond with us, brought us a round on the house, and just checked on us and made sure we were always doing good. Today really lacked that element. As soon as we sat down, the server informed us that they were out of three small plates, which happens, but not 15 minutes after opening as this was the case. Nonetheless, we were able to order a lot of yummy things, so fine. We then asked if it would be possible to angle the umbrella some way or move to a different table so I would be covered from the scorching sun this afternoon, and our server said "just wait ten minutes, the sun will move behind the building..." I understand that I asked for a patio and obviously you cannot control the sun nor the weather, but I just feel like the situation could be handled a little better -- at least a better response. Then, my dad ordered a beer which was completely warm. We asked for another which was luke warm, so then he just asked for a cocktail instead. The server was kind enough to bring a cold beer on the house later, but again, right at open, you kind of expect things to be in order. Overall, our server was just kind of... there, not super attentive nor pleasant. Another thing, I tried to get around the Resy "day before" policy because the reservations for Sunday opened during my graduation ceremony on Saturday and I wanted to make sure I get my table especially as my parents were catching a flight, so I emailed management in advance per the host's instructions upon calling. We went back and forth rather unnecessarily (with very delayed replies on their part), then I got completely ghosted... Not sure why. I was eventually able to get a table by calling the host after my ceremony on Saturday and they were incredibly accommodating, but they also noted that this was a graduation celebration, yet there was no acknowledgment... I had a graduation dinner last year at a different establishment in Boston and our server went beyond to ensure a great experience and even brought out a hand-written card with our check. These details could really really help the Kava experience in my opinion. Finally, the servers bringing out the dishes were completely confused. Almost every single dish was brought to the wrong table before reaching us and we could see them running around the patio with our order... rather unprofessional. Ultimately, it is the service that leads me to dock a star from my previous rating. Had the food not been as consistently fantastic, I definitely would be docking more.
