The Big Greek Cafe - Gyro - Greek Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

To go order experience here was great. Food was packed well and prepared quickly. This location had the best salmon I've had compared to other locations. I'll Be back! read more

Wow the lamb chops are epic- tender, great spices, always happy with our dinners from here- the sides are great, salads, calamari. A go-to favorite. read more

The gyro here is always reliably good and the Wednesday special is a welcome deal, although the $1 for a tiny cube of feta is just a slap in the face. The baklava, however, is an abomination. It is very expensive, yet cheaply and poorly made. It is by far the worst I've ever had anywhere. At nearly $7, it is also a huge waste of money. It was genuinely inedible and I threw it out after one bite, which I couldn't even bring myself to swallow. read more

I am in awe of how good this food was that I recently ordered from the Big Greek Cafe. I'll start with the portion size. Very hearty. Lasted me two meals. I got the lamb chops which came with two sides. I got the salad and the Greek fries. So so yummy!! I also got a side of soup, so delicious. Some places make this type of soup too thick. The consistency here was just perfect. The salad was exactly what I needed for all of the carbs I was having. I got this delivered and it was still warm. Everything was obviously fresh. The tzatziki sauce was so flavorful, you could literally dip anything in there and it'll taste phenomenal. I don't usually rave about takeout this way, but I was thinking of my leftovers all day. I can't wait to order from here again soon! 10/10 experience. I highly recommend it and I can't wait to try other menu items soon! read more

Came here while visiting MD and based on Yelp reviews. The restaurant is located on a busy block so parking is very limited. When you walk in there are tables for people to dine in but I opted for take out. I waited no more than 10 minutes. I ordered the big Greek salad with chicken. It also came with two warm pieces of pita bread which I finished before I even got tothe car. It was so good. The salad itself was delicious! Their house dressing was great too! The portion size is not too little or too much. I was able to get two servings out of it. read more

Terrible food. This spot used to be called Souvlakibar and I liked it much better then. The new place called Big Greek Cafe is awful. I ordered the salmon and two sides and it all tasted so oily and buttery. No flavor otherwise. Even the bread was too salty. I threw most of it out. I won't be back. At least I know now! read more

Went there 2 weeks ago Order the pork chops Had a good experience with the food last time I was there. Unfortunately this time the starter salad had a hair in it. The rest of the meal was hair free. Staff needs to be careful when preparing food. read more

I had a gyro meat craving. It got so strong I had to stop what I was doing and go over to the Big Greek Cafe before it closed. The gyro salad didn't disappoint. There was lots of meat and their great house dressing. The person next to you must already like you; the raw red onions are copious! Souvlaki skewers looked filling and seasoned that day. A friend was recommended the pasta with a "you'll like it". It was orzo in a rich red sauce. She liked it fine but it should have been better described. I also wish the kids menu was less than $9+ after tax. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was bright and clean. Some traditional music wafted in and out of the speakers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was fine but not amazing. Mind you, it's a walk up to order and then to get your food. The food took longer to make than I expected. It still came out delicious, though. read more

Tasty and worth every penny. They even offer weekly specials. You can find great parking at this location. It's a nice size shopping center located right off of route 1. The service has always been welcoming and friendly and they're quick getting your orders together. read more

I cannot deal with this place any longer. I go in and order what I'd like and I pay, and my order is wrong. I ask for no pork. They give me pork. I ask for no sauce and to put it on the side, they ruin my meal because sauce is all over as if I didn't say anything. I used to like this place. I work nearby and have spent thousands in catering orders but NO MORE. If all I can do is pay and not get what I ordered, I will discontinue supporting this place. IT IS OVER! read more

After a long time, I am back to this restaurant. I must say the food is consistently good. It's a small restaurant in downtown Silver Spring serving big flavorful food. Prices are reasonable and portions are significantly large. Definitely give this locally owned restaurant a try. read more

Just here to say that from 2013 to 2019 this was my favorite place to have a work lunch. I'd have the gyro special and if money was really good I'd have the big Greek salad with grilled salmon and Greek fries. I've moved to a new state become a mom and still miss this place. Tonight I tried to recreate the Greek salmon salad and while it wasn't bad, I think I'm better off taking a trip and stopping by. Thank you all for the great food and memories. read more

Concur with prior reviews - if you're going to go here please make it a Wednesday and take advantage of their $7 gyro special! The pita is warm and soft, meat freshly prepared with just the right amount of onion, tomato (if that's your thing, you do you!) and tzatziki sauce wrapped up in what can only be described as deliciousness. Highly recommend with prompt and friendly service! read more

Amazing food and service at the Oakton VA location!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean restaurant and fresh food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

The big Greek Cafe is honestly my favorite place to order delivery from. I've never had a bad order. Their bowls are delicious. I love their falafels! And the bowls always come with a side of pitas and tzatziki. The bowls are already very filling so to add the extra pitas and tzatziki is quite generous. I've also had the pita sandwiches- delicious! And the crazy feta fries which are very yummy. They are honestly my go-to place to order from when I'm not sure what I want. I've ordered them when friends are over and they always love their meals. The big Gr cafe is straightforward fast casual greek food. You can't go wrong! read more

The Big Greek Cafe - Falafel bowl with pitas on the side - Greek Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

We ordered dolmades for an appetizer which were very good. They came with a delicious and creamy tzatziki sauce which everyone ate up. Greek potatoes were a nice comfort food experience. They needed a little salt on top. My son loved his chicken greek bowl so much that he ordered a second one to go. My falafel wrap was outstanding. Falafels were crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside and plentiful. My husband enjoyed his beef gyro. Staff were kind and attentive. read more

If you're looking for the best Greek food to order you can stop reading now and just place your order. The Big Greek Cafe is stupidly good, I have no complaints on any aspect. My go to order is to get the Greek feast where you get skewers, a gyro, and Teo sides. I always go with the greek fries which are covered in feta and the side Greek salad. We also always get the dip trio - I've tried all of the dips and they're all incredibly good. My favorite is their spicy feta which is scary addicting. Their baklava cheesecake is out of this world as well, although we usually order enough food that we don't need the add on. Prices are super reasonable and a feast lasts for a couple of meals. read more

Stopped in Yesterday for lunch with my daughter . Excellent Service and fantastic food . [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was unpleasantly accosted by a decently dressed clearly not homeless Latino man in his late 30's begging me for money while sitting there with my daughter.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Clearly because I'm a white male well dressed he was hoping for an easy mark . He kept coming towards me in a threatening way until the young Latino worker barked at him to leave . I asked her what she said to him ? She declined to answer other than to say he is a continual problem causing the restaurant heart burn . [[HIGHLIGHT]]The owners need to get off their ass and protect the clientele hopefully they have surveillance cameras and can report this shit to the cops and they can track him down or at least know where he resides[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . He isn't dirty and poor and appears to be a man that spends his days bullying folks for money . This is totally the responsibility of the restaurant owners to handle this . You have now been put on notice . [[HIGHLIGHT]]Should anyone get hurt and you have knowingly done nothing about this man you are part of the problem not the solution and you will be culpable if one of your diners gets hurt[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . read more

Was there yesterday for lunch Ordered the chicken kabob So good the salad was yummy The chicken was tender pita hot and fresh Rice cooked perfectly. Will definitely be going back read more

THE BEST GYRO'S IN THE AREA. They are really really good. I wish they gave you more than ONE cube of feta per gyro, and I wish they once remembered the extra tzatziki that we paid for in our delivery order... but alas their food is good enough to overlook these things on occasion. Their fries are also amazing- which was not expected but they are the kind where you eat them all in one sitting and then wonder what the hec happened. We also have really loved the fried flounder platter, the salads and the dolmades. It's the best fast food/Greek food in the vicinity and we will be back! read more

Time to update my review... I always order the same thing -- the lamb chops! And each time they get progressively worse. One time the chops were shriveled and flavorless. Another time the chops were gristly and made of mostly inedible fat. And one time (see the pictures) they were hard and burnt. It's a shame that the company is so inconsistent with this dish, resulting in an average of just 2 stars! read more

The Greek fries - that's all you need to know. I mean, everything there is pretty good, but oh the fries... I'm also a fan of the pita sandwich with falafel - I always get extra tzatziki so I can dip the fries. Service is usually pretty quickly. Every now and then their online ordering system is down, but usually super easy to order online, walk in and pick up! read more

The Big Greek Cafe - Falafel pita and Greek fries - Greek Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

I took a gamble and won! I had a Christmas party and wanted to bring food in this year to make it easier on me. I did a Yelp search on moussaka and this place came up as being good. I ordered the moussaka (for 30 ple), greek potatoes, and green beans. The food was AMAZING!!! They delivered the order in a timely manner, helped me put it in the oven (it was a huge pan of moussaka). All my friends asked where I got it, and that it was the best moussaka they had ever tried. Their cafe is up the street from me, so on a persoanl negative-side for me that means I will be visiting often, probably way too often. There goes the diet! Highly highly recommend this restaurant. read more

The went to the restaurant 8/5/2025. I ordered the soup and dolmathes. The soup was not good. It tasted more like chicken noodle soup. There was no lemon or eggs in it. And the dolmathes, you might as well leave out the salt. It makes it taste too salty. Sign another Greek to another. read more

Reliable, tasty, and they give you a lot of food with the platter. I've been several times and the employees are always really nice. I like the chicken kabob, and they give you some salad! The hummus and pita are also good. read more

This place was bookmarked in my Yelp app and it wasn't far from where I get my eyebrows done. I called in my order and after about 10 minutes I walked in and picked it up. I decided to try the gyro and the Greek fries. This is a hearty gyro. They don't skip on the meats or the toppings, and the toppings are really fresh. There was a big old hunk of feta cheese & a pepper at the top of my gyro. Well seasoned meat, fresh toppings, and soft warm bread equals a happy girl. I poured tzatziki sauce in between each bite. The fries were seasoned fries with some crumbled feta cheese and some other seasonings on top. It was tasty. I've had Greek fries once before at another place and these were different than what I remembered. I think the ones I had before maybe had like some type of oil or something on them, but these were good nonetheless. The next time I go back I'll have to try the spanakopita, another one of my favorites, and the chicken lemon soup if they have it. I have no complaints. The staff was friendly, the service was prompt, they got my order right, and I was able to use Apple Pay. read more

The gyro sandwich. Nothing else needs to be said. It has won AWARDS. I have ordered it twice in one week...for delivery! It is perfection. And the portion is HUGE. I have ordered from here many times in the last ten years I have lived here and everything is so good. It has earned its 5 stars. read more

MAN OH MAN!!! This restaurant is the best when it comes to quality service and food! I booked TBGC for my school's end of year luncheon/checkout, and this location was helpful with providing the best food options for my staff. Since we're at the end of the school year, funds for extracurricular activities are limited, and I was able to speak with the manager concerning the unit cost of menu items per employee served. The manager was so helpful in providing me options to serve staff--we had gyros, veggie lasagna (which was a staff favorite), salad, rice, and hummus. We had over 130 staff to feed, and we STILL had two trays of food left!! The food was fresh and sooooo good! Staff raved about the food selection, and my principal stated that the luncheon was the best luncheon she's been to or has seen organized in the three years of her administration. Thank you, TBGC, for helping TPMS in Silver Spring close out our school year! read more

This has quickly become one of my favorite quick pickup spots in the dt silver spring area. The food is always fresh and hot and made quickly. I usually go for the chicken wrap and the Greek fries.
