Greek Unique is one of those spots that keeps pulling me back--and that's saying a lot as someone…read morewho eats out often. The flavors here are bold, fresh, and thoughtfully done, with a fun twist on classic Greek dishes. My go-to orders are the Medusa's Nest (seriously addictive), the Apollo sandwich (perfectly balanced and filling), and the Pegasus Gyro Wrap, which are hands down one of the most creative and delicious takes I've had on gyro meat. Everything is well-seasoned, portions are solid, and the ingredients always taste fresh. Service is friendly and efficient, and the vibe is casual but polished--great for a quick bite or a relaxed meal. Greek Unique has earned a regular spot in my rotation, and I confidently recommend it to anyone looking for Greek food done right (with a little flair).

Best Greek Food in the Area - Hidden Gem!…read more This place is truly a hidden treasure tucked inside an industrial complex -- a total hole-in-the-wall that you'd never expect to serve such amazing Greek food. It's a family-owned restaurant, and you immediately feel the warmth and hospitality. Everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food is consistently outstanding -- fresh, authentic, and clearly made with love. What really stands out is that they offer a surprisingly large variety of options for vegetarians -- from delicious veggie platters and flavorful dips to perfectly cooked sides and hearty meat-free mains. It's refreshing to find a Greek spot that treats vegetarian dishes with the same care as everything else. If you're craving real Greek flavors and don't care about fancy décor, this spot is an absolute must-try -- easily the best Greek food in the area.

This is a family owned business, the attentiveness and customer service here shows it. Interior is moderately spacious, with a nice outdoor seatery as the weather warms up. Now as much as I like to keep hidden gems like this tucked away from the world to mitigate lines, I just had to share a review after our last visit. 5*!

I'm so happy that I chose to try this new spot out! The first thing I noticed upon walking in was…read morejust how clean the spot was! The entryway, corners, tables, literally everything was super clean. We were immediately shown to a table and the server was super friendly and made awesome recommendations. She made suggestions on ways to eat the food and it's not overbearing at all. She even gave us a free dessert! You'll definitely be back! We've already told several friends about how tasty the food was, how great the service was, and how clean the restaurant was in general. The food is definitely Mediterranean, you'll find several Turkish dishes. The flavoring was absolutely incredible. If you haven't had this type of food before, I suggest that you bring a friend and share several of the dishes. There's outdoor seating available, but since it was winter, and we had a ton of snow, we obviously sat inside. I can't wait until summer to sit outside, have some tasty drinks, and enjoy the delicious food!

Everything was going perfectly until the Uber Eats driver bailed on the delivery as the food was coming out. There was no way to get the food to her.

The team at Mediterranean Breeze saved by Mother's Christmas and she told us that the lamb chops were the best she's ever had! We can't wait to eat their in person when we come to visit! Thanks!

There's an outdoor patio with about 10 tables and a sizable dining room with paintings of Greece. Trio of dips (hummus, tzatziki, and a spicy feta dip, though the third was supposed to be eggplant), and warm pita: good Dolmades platter: the green beans cooked with tomato and onion (though beans were canned) are tasty, and the potato poached in olive oil and lemon was absolutely spectacular. The dolmades themselves were a bit heavy and not the most flavorful. Did come with a fresh salad. Gyro platter: flavorful lamb and beef gyro, great wrapped up with pita, tzatziki, and a crispy French fry. The fries are a bit heavy. Salad pretty fresh. All in all a good meal and nice it's across the street from the W&OD bike trail.

I also ordered the original gyro with lamb. For my wife the lamb was still too spicy and unfortunately the lamb on the gyro was a bit spicy not to my liking as well.

Friendly, patient, helpful, and polite. The feel of the location itself is your typical fast-food joint. Get in. Get out. Seemed clean enough. Not very cozy as in a great place to hang out. Not sure how it is during peak hours but the parking lot might get a bit crowded. The street for sure is busy & can cause cars to back up into the parking lot. The food, while not as awesome as I remembered it 5 years ago in MD, is still tasty. Today's visit, the meat in gyros was a bit dry & the gyros & the side of fries I paid full price for were rather skimpy in serving, given that the gyros used to be served with fries included in the price of the gyro. Still, the fries & the gyros still taste good. Not as good a value as in days of old...even on $7 gyro Wednesdays (which used to be $5 gyro Wednesdays). The fried fish sandwich was a good deal in these horrible economic times because it comes with a good-sized filet and fries. Although, $2 extra for Greek fries that only had a tablespoon of garlic, dry herbs, and feta crumbles tossed on top rolling off the fries then pooling at the bottom of the container. The garlic, herbs, & feta are supposed to stick to piping hot fries steaming with the awesome garlicky oil. What I received was really underwhelming and didn't even come close to the Greek fries I remember. So, I'll preface this review conclusion with this: Big Greek Cafe was one of my absolute favorite local joints... the food made me drool just thinking about it. The food was always plentiful in servings, hot, fresh, aromatic, wonderfully delicious, and everything on the menu was such a good value, you'd end up buying a ton of food. Was this trip worth the drive? Glad the curiosity about whether this VA location equaled the MD experiences was satisfied. Probably no longer high on my list to go out of my way to drive 30 minutes to get what used to be my fav sandwich. It seems a little too fast-foodsy, mass-produced now than the original delectable hole-in-the-wall local joint. If I'm in the area again, I'll definitely pick up something because it's still tasty...just not as fantastic as I remember.

So, my baseline remains at what I remember about the MD location I frequented often. It was reliably delicious. Today's visit at the Leesburg location was a pleasant one. Staff were pleasant, welcoming, helpful. The restaurant itself was fairly clean, though upon entering, a table hadn't been wiped off, and there aren't many tables in this small space. Fortunately, it wasn't too crowded. The food was ok. Whiie it was too salty at the Sterling location, it was a bit bland and really greasy at the Leesburg location. When they're running Specials, these are the best value based on portion, what's included, quality, and cost. Don't get me wrong, portions aren't shockingly skimpy. They'll fill you up. Worth the drive? Maybe if I have time to kill to drive 30+ miles to get chow. I always have good memories associated with Big Greek Cafe, so it's still a go-to, but definitely not a frequent visit like I used to make. The food at this location doesn't leave me with the same mouth-watering memories I have from the MD location. However, if you're looking for a better quality fast food experience than those huge national chains, I'd pick Big Greek more of the time.

Fantastic food and great service..with one downside for families…read more.. I got the gyro salad and they were kind enough to swap fries for a small pita, extra greens and tomatoes, with an olive oil and vinegar dressing. It was fantastic. The only downside, which I think was a little unreasonable, is that a mandatory gratuity of 20% is charged on all parties of three or more. So mom, dad, two kids is 20% mandatory; four colleagues. That's excessive for me. I understand the industry norm of 10 or more, even 8 or more, but.. THREE?? For that I wouldn't come back with my family but I would with a friend. That aside and limiting my review to what I experienced, the interior if nice and comfortable, booths are in good shape, there's a nice Christmas tree for the holidays, and the menu is plentiful. A blend between greek and Italian, with some Americanized comfort food thrown in. Pretty much soothing for everyone - a good lunch spot.

I read that the crab soup is very good so I asked if I could substitute that for the fries. (The regular price of the cup of crab soup is $5). The server said there would be a "small upcharge" for soup instead of fries and I said that was fine with me. Well, when my check came I was a little shocked that the "small upcharge" was actually $4, so not quite a small upcharge in my opinon? Had I known I would have just taken the fries to go. $21 plus tip for lunch is pretty pricey. Don't know if I'll be back again.
