Kentro Greek Kitchen serves some delicious food. Food that warrants 4 or 5 stars. Went here for date night and got a chicken pita and a lamb sandwich. Both are fairly priced, come with a generous portion of their signature "kentro fries," and taste pretty good. The service is quick and servers are friendly and reliable. The interior is nice and the lighting is cozy, the vibe is chill and it isn't the busiest place. The only gripe I have with this place is when I was seated, I noticed quickly that the cups and plates that were put on the table for us were dirty and not washed very well. There was food stains and crumbs, and I had to ask for another cup for water. It didn't sit right with me. Would I recommend coming here? Absolutely. It is great food for a decent price and a good sitdown place. Their fries are phenomenal and addictive and the service is amazing. I just can't look past the hygiene and cleanliness when giving it a rating.

Amazing Greek food! I saw all the amazing reviews on Yelp and I had to give this place a go! I ordered my food to-go since I was in a time crunch. That could have impacted the quality of the food a bit. I get that not eating it fresh/ right away could change the experience somewhat. However, my food was still great. The veggie pita wrap was fantastic!!! It was so fresh and hearty. I loved all the veggies and hummus. The pita bread was so fresh! The French fries were piping hot and had a nice flavor. Service was great! They were quick with making my food too. Ambiance was quiet and I was the only one in the restaurant. This is a great spot for Mediterranean food!!

I was perusing yelp to find ideas for a date in the fullerton area and I stumbled upon this place. We went during lunch and I would say that this is a great place to have a 2nd or 3rd date as it's relatively quiet despite being in like the heart of downtown fullerton and the interior is immaculately clean and modern. I myself got the lamb flat bread with the kentro fries. Now for context, I was somewhat under the weather the day we went so take it with a grain of salt, but I would say that the flat bread was pretty decent for the price. My recollection was that the pickled red onions were definitely present in the flat bread. Almost to the point where it was fighting for control of my taste buds. Once you order at the cashier and seat yourself, they'll get you your order relatively fast; however, it might be because we went during non rush time but I think they can be more mindful of the needs and wants of the customers as they were generally behind the counter until some of us had to be more vocal to get their attention Parking wise, downtown fullerton is surprising convenient, it's next to the metro station so there's plenty of parking in the plaza behind it, public parking lots as well as relatively easy street parking too if you know where to look.

PARKING (4/5): Parking is usually free during the day, just check the signs. A big lot, but does get busy during peak hours. FOOD (5/5): I absolutely love this place! Their food is on point and healthy in my opinion. I've tried almost everything here and I'll always come back. One of favorites in downtown Fullerton! AMBIANCE (4/5): It's a fast casual restaurant. You order at the cashier and then find a table and they'll bring your food to you. SERVICE (3/5): It's usually pretty empty when I come here, they are quick to bring out the food, but I've noticed once they do they don't check on you at all. You have to go up to the front/register to ask for anything you may need.

Kentro is located in the heart of downtown Fullerton on the southeast corner of Harbor and Commonwealth. There is plenty of parking in the lots behind the restaurants on this corner. The entrance is on the rear parking lot side of the building. The restaurant has a nice modern feel. Seating is mostly tables but there are also a few half booths. There is a black granite-topped bar with stacked stone below, which gives the space a classy look. Upon entering, there is a food menu on the wall. Proceed to the register to place your order. There is also a drink menu on the wall behind the register. They give you a number to place on your table and your order will be brought out when it is ready. I ordered the lamb pita and it arrived at my table pretty quickly. The pita was very soft and pillowy. There was a good amount of lamb inside, and the vegetables were extremely fresh. The feta cheese stood out and highlighted an excellent pita. It came with a huge serving of their fries which were thin and crispy with a great seasoning. I hadn't dined here in years, but after this meal, I'll definitely return sooner next time.

Octopus

We stumbled upon this place by chance and wow was it great! The host greeted us so nicely, you just order at the register and choose where you want to sit. They have a huge menu selection but we tried the octopus and the Spanakorizo. They were so so flavorful! The octopus was so soft not chewy or hard at all! The rice had great lemon flavor. The food was delicious. Wish there was more of it!! It is a bit pricier I would say but so worth it! Will try the desserts next time !

I was very disappointed with my lunch, I ordered the Yemista, the tomato was raw and warmed up with rice inside. I waited about 30 minutes to get my dish and my friend was already finished with hers or I would of sent it back.The fries were not fresh and greasy refried. I let the waitress know that yemista was horrible and no acknowledgement or offering to make a new one. The rice was good.

Thoroughly impressed with the service and food at Kentro Greek Kitchen. Had my first dine-in experience and couldn't be more satisfied with the meal. I tried out their lamb burger with a three chromo salad for my side. Blown away with the perfection, fell in love, already desiring another. The quality is second to none, pure perfection in the flavor. The salad was honestly a unique choice but a perfect side to go along with the burger.. The staff handling the counter and bringing out the food were perfect. Friendly, knowledgeable of their menu, solid recommendations for this rookie.. Plenty of indoor seating, very clean restaurant. The owners of Kentro Greek should feel like heroes with what they provide society.

THIS PLACE IS A MUST TRY. Out of all of the Mediterranean places I've been to, this place is by far the best one I've ever tried. I absolutely love so much of their food. Some of my favorites include the manouri bread, the baklava frozen yogurt, and the mousaka. I thought their eggplant dip was a little bitter, but it was still good. The ambiance is also super beautiful inside and perfect for a date or even for a group celebration.

Wow I can't believe, I had never been here until now. We just over ordered and did not regret our choices one bit! Amazing ! Order a plate for the table. We went with the octopus and loved it so much. He ordered the lamb burger and I ordered the Chicken Souvlaki... just amazing . We wrapped it up with a Frozen Yogurt and a Baklava Ice cream sandwhich. We can't wait to come back. Also shout out to the staff they were so helpful and so kind. I will be telling all my friends and clients!

Lamb Pita, Greek fries, and Spanakopita. Delicious.

No. They have a wonderful lemon chicken soup.

Yes they do!

Does anybody know if they are doing take out during the quarantine? I've called but no answer.

Yes they are

Is this place open during the Corona Crisis- I called a few times last night during dinner rush but it kept ringing?

Is it salty?

Hi Fely. I don't see a nutrition guide on their website, but my guess is that it isn't low-sodium. i don't like super-salty food, though, so it may not be excessive.

One of the wonderful things about Pita Hot is that you can order dishes a la carte. I got a side of shawarama meat with tahini and a medium tabbouleh, and the portions were great!!!

But where Pita Hot sets itself apart from those places is the community. When you walk in, you're greeted with smiles, a question about how your day is, and if you've been there a few times, a quick "how's the wife and kids?" Although some people may see the price tags and wince, they do not skimp on portions. They will fill your plate to the absolute brim, give you one huge pita, and send you on your way. The flavors on the food are nothing to scoff at either. The hummus, tabbouleh, and beef skewer are absolute hits. Flavorful bites with the perfect amount of balance between the acidity of the tabbouleh, the light and rich hummus, and the meatiness of the beef. The shrimp skewer is tasty as well but not something I think I'd get again. The rice pairs well with everything, and as I've mentioned before, the humongous pita they give you is delicious as well. A three skewer plate is enough for two people! All in all, Pita Hot has been around this long for a reason. Their business model and recipes are tried and true. Overall, 9/10.

Literally saw the sign while walking and I have no regrets!…read more First off, the ambience is beautiful. The dim lighting and candles are super romantic. I got a seat with a bit of sunlight coming in from the window and that felt like the perfect touch. Avery is so kind. She immediately mentioned the Soup of the Day and the blend for the herb water and I knew I had to get both! They rotate both out every single day depending on what they have on hand, which is a great indicator that they source their ingredients fresh. The soup was puréed eggplant with a coconut milk or cream base and it was the creamiest eggplant dish I'd ever had in my life. Very smooth, no seeds. I didn't even know eggplant could get to that consistency. It's a beautiful soup and I would come back just for that. Arabic tea was not as strong as I'd had in other restaurants but for a nice dining place like this, I think it's good that it wasn't so bitter. Maybe it's also because I dunked a whole packet of honey in mine beforehand Beef stew was great. There were only a few beef chunks but if you're a fan of the vegetable you're choosing (I love zucchini so that worked out well for me), then it's a perfect portion for one. I can't believe I've just been passing this gem behind for so long! Will definitely come back with some company next time around.

Having been a customer and living in fullerton for many years i still experince horrible customer service. Recently called to place an order to go, and try some things i haven't had before so out of curiosity i began asking i belive the owners wife questions and was met with attitude and almost shock at the questions i asked. Just wanted to understand the portion size for the les amis platter for 2. Immediate response "well it's a portion size for two" which yes i know it's in the title, idk if she's have a bad day but i've had restaurants easy answer so many oz for this or this has so many oz but i had to clarify how many oz and still was met with attitude. I belive in good customer service when a guest is curious of the menu no matter how obscure it seems to the person answering. Especially if she has no idea if i've had the experince of dining there. I would think you would try and sell the plate. Maybe it's the generation or maybe they're burnt out of the job but definitely not guest friendly. Don't come here expecting hospitality the foods great but service sucks they need some type of refresher course

Great service, friendly environment and delicious food, what more can you ask for?…read more We got the falafel platter appetizer, solid first course and definitely shareable with 4+ people. The pesto was preferred over the Bolognese. The Mediterranean salad was tastier than the Caesar. The meat lovers is a good option if you're indecisive. This place can accommodate a large party (6+) but it may be a bit snug. Parking can be tough since it's a popular plaza.

My friend and I had lunch on the patio and waited a solid 30 minutes just to get water. The service was painfully slow and careless; tables around us were left uncleaned, and when our food arrived, we had no utensils. After asking the food runner and waiting around while our meals got cold, my friend finally had to get up and track down silverware herself. When the waiter finally acknowledged us, he literally threw the utensils onto the table. Then, when we asked for extra napkins, he actually put his hand up to block us and just walked away. I was so shocked by the blatant rudeness that I called for the manager. While the manager apologized and gave us a free dessert, a sweet treat doesn't fix a total lack of professionalism. If employees hate being there that much, they shouldn't be working in hospitality! Management is also to blame by keeping them employed. When reading some of the other reviews, seems like service is really lacking here and the waiters have major attitude problems. The food is always great, but this type of behavior and level of disrespect makes me never want to come back. I will take my money elsewhere.

Every dish is genuinely good instead of the usual mediocre spread. The space is simple and clean, and it's clear they put real care into keeping the food stations tidy and well presented. The lineup is mostly meats and veggies, plus a great salad bar (no boring iceberg and romaine here). A fun touch: ring the bell and they'll bring you a fresh lamb shank, it's how I always start my meal. There's also a solid rotation of chicken, lamb, fish, and rice dishes. We're usually seated right away, and it never feels overcrowded, which makes navigating the buffet line easy. Only downside is there's just one person bussing tables, so things can pile up. We try to help by clearing our own plates when it gets full. Overall a great spot for quality Mediterranean food. Just wish there was one closer to us!
