    Lamb, which is extremely tough and the bread is cold and hard

    The food portions were not filling at all the lettuce looks like something small children will eat. It looks very thrown together. The portion sizes are tiny It was not what was expected. I did not expect the meat to be wrapped in aluminum foil. The presentation was horrible. I'm already annoyed just looking at the food. They say people eat with their eyes and I am already disgusted.

    Food, services and ambiance are all good at Symeon's. We stopped by for lunch and had the Souvlaki lunch, of which we preferred the lamb over the pork. The portions were just right for lunch and reasonably priced.

    Friend sent me some wonderful spices from NY |  seasoned leg of lamb

    My friends know I love a good seasoning blend especially, a Mediterranean or Middle Eastern one. The spices used are fragrant, slightly sweet with stronger flavors which I tend to prefer. So when a friend read an article about the Top 10 spices to have in your kitchen, she sent me 2 - 9.5 oz (sandwich-size resealable bag) of this Greek seasoning all the way from Yorkville, New York. The package lists only 5 ingredients but based on the flavor it seems like a lot more! I've already used for marinating a leg of lamb, grilled it and wow, delicious! Symeon's spice blend can be used for all kinds of meats including poultry and fish and 3 tbls of the blend along with oil and red wine vinegar makes a nice Greek Dressing.

    I was recommend to stop in at Symeon's for a meal by Utica's mayor's brother and they did not disappoint. The restaurant seemed to be pretty busy at 7pm on a Saturday night but they were able to sit me down quickly. Wasn't sure what to order so I asked the waiter and he pointed me to the Souvlaki and the Mousaka. Between the two, I opted to get the Souvlaki & pair it with some Grape Leaves (Dolmades). The grape leaves came out quickly and really flavorful. Followed by the Souvlaki, a bed of rice topped with greek skewer(s). That first bite woke up some neurons and I finished the whole dish quickly. I 100% would recommend this spot! @phidingthefam

    Wings

    This place replaced cavallos for best wings in the area. Also decent wine for a beer joint. #Witherfall

    My wife and I stopped here Friday based on a recommendation from a local. We were not disappointed, the staff were very friendly and the food was really good. I ordered the fish fry and my wife ordered Spanakotiropita and Dolmades with Tzatziki Dip. We shared a piece of Baklava. Just good food at good price. Nice clean family restaurant.

    I put in a carryout order. All of the food was just as tasty as if I ate it right there in the dining room.

    Solid Greek food, I would say Americanized a bit, neater, drier. Preparation & taste is the exact same every time. 30+ year customer

    I was very disappointed I ordered a gyro and got hamburger meat ... rice pilaf was good but I wouldn't go here just for rice.

    This spot is easy to miss. It is in a small strip of businesses, diagonally across from Meyda…read moreLighting. First impression was that the siting area was relatively clean. No one was there, maybe it's just quiet on Wednesdays. I ordered a mixed meat gyro with fries and canned soda, and a piece of Galaktobureko. I took my food to go. The gyro was big, nice thinly sliced red onions, lettuce and tomatoes, perfect amount of tzatziki sauce. Pita was warm and soft; it didn't over take the wrap. The dessert was very enjoyable. I had not experienced a custard filled philo and will definitely order again. I overheard the owner cooking my order say his mom, also an owner from what I gathered, makes the desserts. Check this place out for sure!

    Greek Gyros of Yorkville serves solid, highly satisfying casual Greek fare. We ordered a chicken…read moregyro, falafel gyro, and spanakopita, all of which were delicious and filling. The gyros were made to order and everything tasted fresh. My husband especially loved and raved about his crispy falafel gyro. Seeking a vegetarian entree for lunch, the falafel gyro really hit the spot for him. My toddlers and I enjoyed the chicken gyro. The pita bread was so warm and soft, and the tzatziki sauce was truly yummy and delightful. I don't know that I've ever had spanakopita so light and flaky before. Much of what I've had in the past was comparatively dense with a lot more feta; this had more pastry and some spinach and hardly any feta. That said, it was scrumptious and memorable. It also came with a side salad and extra tzatziki dressing. The portion size was moderate; in the future, if I had come with a bigger appetite I would order a gyro. Service was brisk, though it took a while for the spanakopita to be served (which was no matter since the wait was worth it). The fact that Greek Gyros was relatively busy on a blisteringly cold winter day with a high of 15 degrees is a testament to how good it is that people step out for its food. The restaurant was heated and clean, with nice images of Greek hanging on the walls of the restaurant. Seating was casual and there was a high chair, altogether making it a great low-key lunch spot for a family with young kids.
