Rounded up to 5 stars Sometimes it is a challenge to decide between 4 stars and 5 stars. This is a comfortable neighborhood restaurant with outdoor patio and indoor seating. The cocktails and plates are better than expected. We shared a number of small plates and we were pleased with our decision. The service is helpful and attentive. read more

Simply Greek - Pan serared Red Snapper - Greek Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Simply greek Made reservations for a Sunday Brunch - - they asked if we wanted to sit inside or out back - - we chose inside, we needed the nice cool a/c. Service was very friendly and helpful, even came out to ask if I had questions about ingredients, preparation, etc... not only did the menu have asterisks next to the gluten free options, there were so many choices! Their fryer is gluten free and they cook with olive oil, not butter. Took me awhile, but I narrowed down my order to hummus with gluten free pita and fried calamari - - all delicious. The bathroom is down stairs. Looks like it is street parking around there so might have to hunt around. read more

Simply Greek - Grilled octopus appetizer with red onion capers and tomatoes - Greek Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Ooooh, so that is why the food is so good! Simply Greek is a restaurant I used to frequent when I lived in New Jersey, and now that I see they have a location in Park Slope I am even more excited because the food is still really good. Everything tastes fresh and the portions are fairly generous, for Park Slope standards. I liked the complementary pita and olives as they help make what you are about to eat more digestible, considering dairy, a large part of the Greek cuisine, is hard on most peoples' stomachs. It is hard to find a bad food item as all of it looks tasty. I got myself the lemon chicken soup and was very impressed with the lighter flavor of this soup, that has good chunks of chicken and carrots. The lemon carries a nice note of tang. This is not a heavy soup even though most restaurants go heavy on the eggs to thicken the broth. Yes, I am looking at you Pitharia. For my entree I got the Lamb Burger. Take it from me, do not get this more cooked than medium. Overcooking lamb makes the meat dry, tough, and rubbery. This is not ground beef. Medium is the highest you want to go for this cut. Therefore it still retains plenty of flavor when you have it, and the lamb just melts in your mouth after that first bite. My server was great too. She was attentive and made sure I had a great experience. It was a little on the pricey side, but worth it for the tasty food and good vibes. I also can appreciate it is not too far from the Union Street stop on the R train or the 4th Ave/9th Street stop on the F/G/R lines. Just like the sister locations in New Jersey, I recommend and hope to come back here soon. read more

It's rare that I find a restaurant with a drink I've never tried before. I love sodas and I look for new and interesting ones whenever I travel. Simply Greek offers Greek beverages right here in New York City, no travel required. Epsa Sour Cherry Drink - a Greek beverage - was an unexpected discovery on the menu last night. I decided to try it, along with a few other items. The kabobs - Simply Greek has some of the best lamb kabobs in the area ! The spices are so delicious & fresh. And not greasy either. I ordered takeout and was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the items. Eggplant dip - Also excellent. Not your typical eggplant dip, the vegetables really shine through. Love the fresh cucumbers & lemon. Everything here is fresh. The food is packed with flavor and texture. The kabobs were average in size but the dessert was large. Again, I love that their menu includes imported Greek beverages to go with the food. Really transforms the dining experience into something exciting and new. Simply Greek is an asset to the area, restaurants come and go but I hope they are around for a long time. read more

Really kind service! There was one worker who is always ready to pour us more water. Our meal came with complimentary olive bread, and it was my first time having actual olives in my bread. This bread was what got me gravitating towards olive oil anything now. The same goes for their amazing Greek salad, which I think was a side. Something is in their juicy sweet tomatoes, they were so good. Our actual dishes we ordered were ok. The Branzino ($32) was well flavored, a little salty here and there. I had gotten this from the raving review on this fish, but it unfortunately didn't have the same effect on me. I had better Chicken Souvlaki Platter ($30). This one was not only pricey, but the chicken was more on the charred side. The place felt so cozy with sweet service, but the food is overpriced. read more

Homey Greek restaurant. Straightforward menu with all the classics. We shared a spread platter and a Greek salad. Spread platter had hummus, babaghanoush, tzatziki, spicy feta, and a cold mashed potato salad. All solid dips. Came with plenty of pita to dip. Salad ingredients were diced into large chunks, so it was tough to get everything into one bite; however, I thought the flavor profile was on point. Items were pricey at $24 for the platter and $18 for the salad, but the portions were large and justified the price. We were also full after just sharing those two items. Even had a little to take home. Service was attentive and quick. Waitress checked up on us a few times and was very polite. Seats were comfortable and tables were well spaced. I appreciated that they had complimentary pita and olives to start. I only noticed one single occupancy restroom in the basement. Overall, a pleasant neighborly spot. read more

Cute Greek restaurant with really friendly service. I have to say I'm definitely bias because I lived in Astoria for several years and the best, most authentic Greek food is there. Simply Greek doesn't compare to the scene there, but it's a pleasant experience. Food was fine, atmosphere was good. To start we shared the dolmades and the assorted spreads. Spreads were really good, dolmades were okay. Next came the saganaki which is a must, it was probably my favorite dish of the night. The beet salad was huge and fresh but slightly plain. I always order grilled octopus in Greek restaurants so I got it here. It was fine. Missing lemon. My husband had the chicken souvlaki platter and there was so much meat. I liked the chicken but the true stars were the fries. We had the special Moscow mule and it was one of the best mules I've had. Chocolate mousse for dessert was good as well. read more

For healthy seafood options, Simply Greek is great place in the neighborhood. My favorite was the grilled calamari - it was so fresh and the lemon squeezed on top enhanced all the flavors of the spices. The red snapper had micro greens and was served over a large bed of lentils mixed with carrots in a balsamic glaze. read more

I've been to the restaurant at least a dozen times and it's great- great food and service. but their delivery is less than mediocre. we live just a few blocks away but always an hour and a half and soggy food. I definitely need to remember not to order delivery. the delivery guy not only spends 5 minutes hanging out in front of your building before delivering, he walks soo slowly as if he's lost and confused. this has happened to us the last two times we ordered.. sad. we'll have to order for pickup going forward. read more

Friendly and prompt service with tasty food. They have a few tables outside that have plastic barriers between them too which is nice. I loved that they brought out pita bread and olives at the beginning - both were very good. I ordered the lamb rotisserie gyro sandwich and it was tasty although I feel it could have been a little more saucy - maybe I am used to more tzatziki on a gyro or something. Still, a minor observation and not a huge deal. The lamb was well seasoned and the bread was good. The rice on the side was tasty as well. Good service from Jocelyn and a male staff member as well. read more

Ordered the chicken souvlaki platter; every bite was delicious and will always ask to go here when in town to visit my friend. Only thing I would do next time is do half potatoes, half rice. Seemed odd to me that the platter doesn't come with both and you have to choose between the potatoes, rice and fries. read more

This food came super quick. on the site, a delivery time of 75-90 minutes was shared. I honestly feel like it came in 45 minutes or less. My sister was hesitant about ordering here due to the lack of reviews and photos but As a self proclaimed filterer of restaurants of Yelp, I knew there was something good abt this place. (only highlighting partial parts of order due to brevity) I decided on the mixed platter convo with chicken and lamb and was eating that jawn for 3 days. It came with lots of food. The meats were seasoned very well. Not dry but oh so tender. I had both fleshy and the fatty parts of the lamb! Our large order also came with greek salad - green oeppers, raw onions, olives, feta cheese, likkle romaine. The dessert was also ordered; Greek donuts and this dessert with pistachios and a yogurt layer-all very good and fresh. This food so good that i'm having flashbacks of both my food travels in Greece as well as this meal. I may be having greek again today . read more

Wow. Yes. So glad I came across this lovely establishment. First off, the customer service here is worth mentioning. I called ahead of placing my order for delivery bc I had a question about the size of their Branzino. Their menu only specified weight and how the fish was prepared for the Dorade and Sea Bass. It may seem minuscule but the lovely lady who picked up the phone had such wonderful phone etiquette. Not only did she answer my question but she also offered extra information which was super helpful. It's very rare to find that nowadays, unless you're dining somewhere super fancy, like extremely rare. It made me sad that I was ordering for delivery lol, I literally can't wait to go in person. After I placed my order, it was immediately assigned to a courier who had a very questionable/suspicious profile. No profile picture, no delivery history and no rating. I've had issues with stolen orders in the past & they were already there waiting to pick it up. I immediately called and spoke with a lovely gentleman, who again, was super helpful! I asked him not to give my order to the courier (who he said was a man but on my end their name was Kimberly) while I waited for Uber to reassign it. I have no doubt in my mind I would've never received my order otherwise. Now for the food, this will be short and sweet. I got the Branzino and chose their Lemon Potatoes as my side. Amazing. It took everything in me not to order the octopus because it's my FAVEEEEEE but I decided to save it for when I go in person. Man oh man, that fish was so fu*king good. Cooked perfectly. Idk what it is about Mediterranean style seafood but they for sure know what they're doing. It was deboned and so flaky. Those capers? Perfect. Squeeze of lemon? Perfecter. The lemon potatoes are super lemony which is exactly how I like them. If that's not your cup of tea, skip it. I was a little weary because at first glance, they looked a little mushy but they were so good. I do prefer a little more of crust on mine though. I put a little sriracha on them and boom, new flavor profile unlocked. ANYWAY, I loved my food and I will most definitely be visiting them in person very, very soon. Keep it up y'all, wow. read more

Mother's Day and the request from one mother was - take me to the Simply Greek for an early dinner around the corner. So two (actually three generations) of our family is on the way (I think my son made a reservation). Me and my son ordered Souvlaki Combo Plater- both chicken and lamb sticks, I went with Lemon Potatoes , he - with fries. We both agreed that chicken tasted better, lamb was on a dry side. Still it's a huge plate with 4 sticks of meat, plus a Greek salad. We have to take home some sticks, so much food. My boss and our daughter in law decided to take Mousaka, another great dish, kind of like Greek lasagna. Our grandson enjoyed Kids grilled cheese with fries. One star off - grapes leaves from appetizers menu was not available, also our first choice Mythos beer was out, so we have to go with a Fix - Greek lager. Service was also great, it's expensive place with exceptional food and service. read more

I was craving a gyro and decided to try this spot. This is no over-salted, mystery meat. It's slow braised lamb, recognizable and juicy, with lean and fatty bits. But...it's not as well seasoned as it could be! Also...it's a bit pricey! Almost $20 for a gyro and side salad. The salad is romaine lettuce, the usual suspects (feta, tomato, olives, red wine and canola/vegetable oil vinaigrette), and no peperoncino. This place could be great with a few tweaks. read more

Great food and service. We sat in the back deck, it is cozy. The ambiance w music is very nice. The lamb souvlaki platter is great w rice or potatoes abs also comes w Greek salad. It's a huge portion, i took the left overs hone n had it for lunch the next day. It heated up nicely. The fried calamari is nice n crispy. Falafels very good. read more

Wow! This place is incredible! We've ordered from here a few times (which was really delish) but I must say the dine in is even better! We started with the assorted spreads. Each was really enjoyable but the spicy feta was an absolute stand out for me. Never had anything quite like it before and I'm obsessed. The pita was warm and fresh tasting! For dinner, I had the pork souvlaki with lemon potatoes. So juicy and flavorful- highly recommend! My fiancé had the moussaka which he loved! Overall I must say this is the best Greek food we've ever had. To top it off the service was delightful- attentive, friendly, and helpful. We were never without the included pita bread and olives. The interior is very cute and nicely decorated. Everything is spotless (which is a big thing for me). Can't wait to come back here and if you're a fan of Greek food- run don't walk! read more

Really authentic and very delicious. Agvolemono soup the best I've had . Cute atmosphere also.

Simply amazing and authentic! My husband and I have been searching for an authentic Greek restaurant for years - this does it! Their portions are generous - we usually share a souvlaki platter, which comes with pita, rice, and meat. We also order a small side of hummus that comes with pita, a side of skewers for extra protein, a side of fries, and more pita! Their bread pudding is to die for. Not to mention, they also carry Mythos Beer. Service is 10/10. When we order for delivery, we usually just call them. They're quick and efficient. No extra fees unlike ordering through a delivery app. Highly recommend! read more

Chicken Rotisserie Sandwich First time ordering from this place and definitely the best gyro I've had in a while. It arrived on time, was still warm and packaged with care. Tzatziki sauce had the perfect consistency (not watery) and taste. I always prefer a falafel sandwich but since it wasn't an option, so I chose the chicken, which wasn't dry and very flavorful. Everything was fresh and the fries were average but good. I received complimentary Loukoumades (dessert), so if you're into sweets you might like this. read more

After an excellent dinner outside on the deck last fall we finally got round to having brunch there - on mother's day no less. Outdoor dining at S-G has become one of our neighborhood favorites - thank you! Dinner: My lamb shank was excellent. A beautiful evening on the deck with a couple of Mythos. What could be better. Brunch: I had a yummy gyro, the boy had parfait (wow!) and wife had salad with shrimp. We probably over-ordered but there were no leftovers. Really good, friendly service. Lovely deck. We'll be back soon. read more

Really good pork rotisserie gyro sandwich! Ingredients were super fresh, meat was moist, tzatziki was flavorful, and pita was chewy without being soggy and just the right level of toasted.

REVIEW FROM AN ACTUAL GREEK PERSON: friends and neighbors, it has been a very long time since I have found GOOD Greek food. My grandma passed in 2004 and she was an absolute magician in the kitchen. Her food was legendary and is still talked about to this day. So to say I have high standards would be an understatement. Nothing has come close, including most of the places I've tried in Astoria. That is why I am very glad to have found this new, incredible establishment in the neighborhood. It is located on 5th between President and Carroll. I ordered delivery from here a couple times - once the skirt steak and once the rack of lamb - and both times everything was so great that I decided to stop by in person. The flavors were phenomenal and everything was cooked perfectly. They even use the correct amount of lemon in their lemon potatoes (a ton). They also know how to make a Greek salad the way they do in Greece - no lettuce and a stack of vegetables with a big block of feta on top. And not only do they have great food, but they have beautiful decor, street seating, and a lovely little deck in back. I've been to other "Greek" restaurants in the neighborhood and the food and the prices are way off. This is truly the spot for authentic Greek and we are so lucky to have it. read more
