    The Big Greek Cafe. Best Gyros in Loudoun County.
    Rick S.

    Tried many places and you can not beat the gyros here. Quick, tasty and very fresh. Additionally the place is always clean and comfortable.

    Went here not knowing this Greek Restaurant had changed hands so was a bit surprised to find the Big Greek Cafe. Basically looks the same inside, very clean and decent amount of tables and also has about six outside. The service was great, very friendly. We ordered a chicken platter and some hummus and a side greek salad. We wanted just chicken skewers so actually ordered the wrong thing and they were more than accommodating in bringing us the additional chicken without charge even though I offered to pay due to the fact that it was probably my fault in how I ordered it. It was very much appreciated. The food was excellent, my only comment would be the jasmine rice was very plain. Overall it was a very good experience and would recommend giving it a try.

    Gotta give this place another shout out! $7 Wednesday gyro deal is great and they don't skimp on the portion size. Staff is always so friendly. We dined in and staff comes by to make sure we have everything we need.

    If you are craving gyros, grape leaves, and other Greek food, omg. This place? The portions? It's a gem. I missed when places would be this generous with portions AND have delicious food so it makes it all worth it! I've so far tried the signature Gyro Pita and a Gyro bowl. I think I prefer the pita because it has more tzatziki sauce, a banana pepper, and a feta cube whereas the bowl didn't have as much flavor-wise (still good though!). I really loved the grape leaves too because they were fresh and warm! The restaurant has plenty of parking in front with a shared lot of other businesses like Yamachen's Sushi and TeaDM. They also have an app you can order on for takeout which also makes it pretty convenient if you are on a time crunch! So far both of my takeout orders have been ready on time too. :)

    I had my eye on this restaurant before they became "The Big Greek Cafe". Previously, they were all about Souvlaki bowls. With a change in name and a larger menu, I wanted to give it a try. As for ambiance, it's basically a take out place that has a few tables for those who want to dine in. We were here on a Sunday around 4:30. At that time, the place wasn't busy at all. It's set up so you have to order at the register. The young woman who rang us up was nice but she didn't have a good command of English. We told her clearly that we were ordering for two people and also clearly said we were ordering two of the same meal. We paid for our (what we thought would be) two meals plus a bottle of Fanta that we planned to share. Then, we chose a table and waited for our food. When the food came out, there was only one order that was brought to the table. I pointed out that we ordered 2 of the same meal. She said "I only charged you for one." Well...the bright side (yes, there was a bright side) was that we split the food and found it was just right for two. We ended up sharing a cup of avgolemono soup which, surprisingly, wasn't too bad. One could taste the lemon in it. The piece of spanakopita was quite big so we cut it in half. It was okay. We did appreciate that it wasn't overloaded with feta. For the two sides that came with it, we chose roasted Greek potatoes plus string beans with tomato sauce. A few slices of warmed pita bread came with it. The potatoes were okay and the green beans had nice flavoring. While we were eating, the young woman approached our table to apologize about messing up our order. She offered to get us a free side. I asked if we could get baklava and she said "yes". We took the baklava home and later had it with some tea. Again, it was okay, but we've had better. I admit to being picky about baklava as I grew up eating it freshly made from scratch by my great aunt and grandmother. So...if you like Greek food and come here with tempered expectations, you will do fine. However, if you come here expecting food as good as My Mom Eugenia's, you will be disappointed. Just remember it's cheaper to eat here. If the owner and/or a manager sees this, I would suggest training those who work at the register to repeat back the order to the customer to make sure it's correct.

    I seriously love this place. Customer service is always amazing and on point, the food is fresh, delicious, and comes out fast. I've never had a bad meal here -- everything's been consistently great. The bread and potatoes are to die for

    Gyro

    We've visited The Big Greek Cafe many times and the dishes are consistently made very flavorful. We've tried the gyro, chicken, pork chops, and Greek Pasticio. Service is very friendly and professional!

    Brand new and already great! The dip trio came with plenty of bread, each entree also comes with bread. Wednesdays is $7 gyro day, huge gyros! The crispy founder was perfectly golden and had large pieces, enough for leftovers. The soup and spanakopita were also delicious. No complaints, except from my son who said there was too much meat in the gyro. Who says that?!

    Actually well priced delicious, and healthy, vegan and vegetarian food. I got a black bean burger…read morewhich despite basically being the texture of chili was really really tasty and I'd totally get it again, and I got a strawberry muffin (99¢) which was also vegan and tasted great. Can't believe I'd never been here before.

    Vegetarian and Vegan never tasted so good…read more Yes it's organic, it's naked, it's good for you and me and I actually felt myself getting energized with every bite and sip. Welcome to the all natural Naked Lunch located inside Mom's Organic Market on Elden Street in Herndon, Virginia. Everything is made in house and from scratch - awesome bowls, soups, muffins and the lovely juice bar. The piece de resistance- the amazing team here - Trevor( an angel and just the sweetest kid in the world), Osvaldo - another kind and great guy; Ken - a gentleman a worker and just so courteous, Maris - we talk about our families, Jose, Kendall and the awesome Ashley. They know their stuff and are hard workers who not only preach it but live it and practice it. Their genuine love and care transfers to the healthy fare and makes it even better. Their black bean burger is unique and delicious; their pomegranate muffins are to die for. Their sushi bowls, molar bowls, confetti bowls( please see the menu photo) are so unique and exquisite. All the dressings are made in house and they are stupendous. I have missed out on the soup a few times( sold out in the first hour). The place is casual with tall seating stools and a self help table w plastic ware and napkins. I don't think I am doing a good job and justice by writing about this. Not even close. So get your clothed butt down to Naked Lunch for a healthy, fun and habit forming experience. Juice bar open 9-8 daily. Kitchen 11-8.

    So I didn't even know this place existed. I was heading to my go to pho spot and I saw this place…read morenext door so I did what we Yelpers do and I went to see if there were any reviews and there were ... and it was an overall 5 star rating with a good 18 reviews ! I HAD TO GO TRY IT! Upon entering I was immediately greeted and given a moment to review the menu on the wall. The cashier was super friendly and helpful and answered all the questions I had. I decided to go with a small order of chips and queso and the shrimp fajita avocado salad. I was given my chips and salsa and given a buzzer which would identify me when my salad was ready. In the meantime I visited the salsa and accompaniment bar where there were tons of fresh salsa and veggie options. The chips and queso were BOMB! My salad was ready in about 10 minutes and the cashier brought it to my table which was super nice. That salad seriously looked and tasted like something that should and would be in a fine dining Mexican restaurant ... the shrimp were plentiful and plump and tasted as though they were truly seared on a fajita flat top along with the peppers and onions. It came along w a side of ranch and for this ranch lover to not have even used the ranch tells you just how flavorful this salad was! Everyone dining in the restaurant was so so so into their meals that I had to giggle because I was too and we all had not one care in the world. Although the restaurant itself is smaller and casual it truly gives off big dog legit Mexican fine dining! I will absolutely be back and / or ordering from Door Dash!

    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.
