Every time I go there, it just keeps getting better and better. To me, they blow the other Greek restaurants out of the water. I've been going to Greektown since the 70s. Hellas was the best and now gone. Thank God for "The Greek. read more

What a super fun place! We came down for the Grand Opening and much anticipated Greek Town area. We had a fantastic time! This place was super cool. You enter and go up a flight of stairs. There is a huge bar and these cool booths as well. There are giant garage door windows that were open so you can sit along a bar rail at the windows and over look the beautiful new area! In the back there is an open air area and another bar. They have a canopy to cover the area for foul weather. They had some fun cocktail and the service was great! You have to come check this newly renovated area out! read more

My family, from around the country, including vegans and carnivores, met for the Detroit Grand Prix at The Greek. It was a fabulous kick-off, sampling the whole range of the menu. The service by Greek goddess Destyni, kept the party going with many Mythos beers. We can't wait to go back. **Do be aware of the automatic 20% gratuity. read more

Food was great, authentic gyro. Service was polite and the crowd was small. There wasn't a game in town this weekend. I highly recommend this place for great Greek cuisine. read more

I decided to give this place another try and had a better experience. Still have to say that the food is overly salty though. I had a Greek salad and added gyro meat to the top. Generous portion of gyro. The salad was huge. Feta cheese tasted odd. Very salty and had an old/not fresh taste to it. My friend had the Greek combo plate which had gyro meat, a chicken kebab, grilled pita, and a side. We sat up at the bar and had great service. They had a cocktail menu with their seasonal specials. My friend had the apple crisp made with Crown Apple. At $14 it seemed a little steep. I stuck with Jack Daniels and Diet Coke and at $9 that still seemed a little high and enough not to merit a second drink. The Greek has a lot going for it. It has a good vibe with friendly staff. If they can work on the menu a little more and dial back the salt content on the food this place would be on my list of Greektown choices. I don't know if I will give this place a third try with so many other options all within walking distance. read more

Ok I came here again, though I said I wouldn't. My co-workers wanted to come back here from last year so we did. Completely different experience. Server was attentive for most of the meal. I also liked my meal this time. I got the lemon chicken soup and a Greek salad. Very large portions and very good. I went with 4 others who also got a variety of dishes. They all enjoyed as well. Lots of food. They also had some ciders. This time I'd rate the food and service much better. The road is completely torn up in front of the whole street. I guess they are making a giant patio. That will be cool. But now it's probably killing everyone's business now. The sidewalks are still available but it's a skinny walkway. It doesn't appear at the moment that they are close to completing. Maybe this time next year it'll be done. read more

Love their Greek salad with chicken and their spicy feta appetizer. We make it a point to eat lunch here whenever we are in Detroit.

Front of house was fantastic. We looked at the upstairs which has more of a dive-bar atmosphere and promptly headed downstairs to for the pub vibe/atmosphere. We ordered the gyro bowl and the pastitsio. The gyro bowl was very good but the pastitsio was a little sweet and thin-tasting. 3.5 for food and 4.5 for service and atmosphere. Love that Greektown is back up and running. read more

Good service, fun menu, and fun sides as well. The vibes were so nice both inside and outside! Fun menu items like greek quesadillas, falafel, and salads! read more

We were in town for the Detroit marathon and wanted to grab some food the night before! We stumbled upon the Greek and decided to give it a try. I ordered the gyro bowl with lamb and my brother ordered gyro plate. The bowl was huge (definitely had leftovers, not complaining though) and super filling! The service was friendly and extremely helpful! I'll definitely have to stop by and try their other dishes as well! read more

LOVE the space here, and our server was just amazing. We only had an appetizer, but it was off the charts good; our dips, all of which were delicious. The only things I would change would be to lower the volume of the music and have more plates and silverware on hand so they'd have enough for busy times. I'd definitely give it another shot! read more

My wife is not big on trying new foods, but I dig her to Greektown and The Greek looked inviting. Greek music playing, the main windows rolled up to enjoy the evening. Our waitress recommended a good wine and a good beer for us, both Greek of course. She ordered the chicken kabobs with Greek potatoes, and I had the Greek platter with chicken kabob and lamb with rice and peas. Both plates were huge! And the taste, it was perfect! Not too spicy, but very favorable. It's too bad we're leaving tomorrow since we'd definitely come back! read more

Last night we were looking for a restaurant that was top notch and still open at 10:30pm. The Greek did NOT disappoint! The food was beyond phenomenal. The service was on point. Shout out to our amazing waitress Christina that was helpful and knowledgeable when it came to picking our drinks and entrees. We got the lamb chops, lamb shank, and a pasta. All the food came out quickly and tasty! The saganaki was a must get appetizer! The drinks were NOT watered down and had great flavor. (We got the berry cocktail and I forget the other one's name). The ambiance has dim lighting comfortable spaced out seating. There IS construction that makes parking very difficult at the moment. However, it is worth the short walk to get there! read more

We went to The Greek for my birthday and it was absolutely amazing! Don't be intimidated by the current construction, it's well worth it! We got cocktails and the dip appetizer and had to truly debate which dip we liked best because they were all so good!!! We both got pasta dishes and they were so good and fresh! We will absolutely be back and you should too! read more

This is a casual place with a bar. They have outside seating as well. The service was good, food delicious and the atmosphere was lively. Order the spicy feta, great start to your meal. We ordered the lemon chicken and the gyro plate. The food was served hot and there was plenty to eat. Overall a good experience. The one curious thing was we were a party of two and the check came with a 20% gratuity already included. We eat out very frequently, this is usually something a restaurant does for a large group. Not sure what the thinking is behind this. Most people like to leave what they consider to be a fair tip. Don't choose for them. read more

Came here with some co workers. It's a nice restaurant with great employees. We weren't sure what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised! The food portions were huge and the flavors were phenomenal. I recommend the Greek quesadilla! Great price for what you get on the plate. The People mover in Detroit is free for all of 2024! It will drop you off at the casino which is right across from this restaurant! I will most definitely come back! read more

Late review from November. Thanksgiving actually. I got a basic chicken shawarma. I was in Greektown. I had high expectations for this shawarma to be great & it just wasn't great. No complaints to the service. & no complaints to the vibe in the restaurant itself. But this was not great. I can do better at home. The spots in Dearborn are better. read more

To make it quick don't go here - I say this because the atmosphere is not as explained. Definitely more of just a dive bar. Our server - couldn't even tell you her name cause she didn't tell us - was horrible. The bartender must love getting people trashed because believe me I enjoy a strong drink from time to time but every drink made for our table was WAY too strong. Again, service was non existent except a few water refills. I will say this; the food was average but that's about it. Oh also! Despite getting slapped with a huge bill for quite literally nothing you're also expected to automatically pay a 20% gratuity which is listed absolutely no where. I found out because I asked why the bill was so damn big. Two words : Disgustingly trashy read more

Lemon rice soup was great. I got my spinach pie and it was cold. I asked for it to be reheated. I got another one back and it was cold too. This may have been only the second time in my life I sent something back. I'll always go back across the street. read more

Lunched here last week prior to a Tiger game. Excellent service provided. Totally enjoyed the small Greek salad but did not enjoy the chicken caesar wrap. I am not a fan of spinach wraps and perhaps I missed that in the product description and if so then shame on me. However I got past the wrap and found that the chicken was dry and there was just not enough dressing to help slide that thing down. I managed half of my sandwich , wishing I had simply ordered something else. I would return another time and try the dinner menu and be sure to order a large Greek Salad for sure... read more

Let me start with the good, my husband's lamb gyro was fantastic, he said. There was no one there, so service was good. Being in Greek town is always great atmosphere, we were there for a concert and a quick meal. We ordered the saganaki as an app and it was burnt to the pan, good flavor for the parts that weren't burnt, but was a bit odd. My meal was the spanakopita, and it was burnt, yet greasy, and the inside although tasted just okay, was obviously an older pie. Such a very big disappointment. Did the job we got a little food before heading to the concert. Will not ever be back, too many other good choices. read more

I went in for an early lunch before seeing a show at Ford Field. Service was fast, and nice enough. But the food was disgusting. The chicken was drier than the Sahara, and could barely be salvaged with the tzitki sauce. Everything else on the plate was salty beyond belief. Even the rice was hard to eat because of how salty it was. Wouldn't mind giving it another try if they change cooks or something read more

I have heard of this place but had never been there since I live 1000 miles away. Went with several colleagues, and we all loved it. We had a four dip appetizer with PITA bread. Delicious! I had the Greek lasagna, my boss had a shrimp salad, and my other colleague had a steak plate. I was not starving when we went, so I didn't get to try near enough. The costs seemed super high for what we ordered. I would go back when in Detroit. read more

Wow! We had such a fun time at The Greek! We stopped in for a quick drink, well....let's just say that "quick" drink didn't happen! Lol We decided to order one of the fishbowl Drinks made with Vodka and Raspberry Jolly Ranchers. This drink was HUGE!!!! Obviously we were going to split this drink, but there was enough for 6 people! Haha it tools us quite a long time to suck this down, but it was delicious. I would most certainly order it again. It was $30 what a deal! By this time we needed some food so we ordered Saganaki, which is always my favorite! OPA!!! read more

We wanted to have Greek food while in Detroit. I was skeptical coming into this place, it had the feeling of an upscale dive bar. However, the food was very good. I had a Greek salad and spanakopita. Largest spanakopita I've seen in my life! It was crusty and delicious. I ate the leftovers cold later that night and was still amazing. My friend said the dish she had was as good as she had in Greece. read more

On a very busy Saturday night my son and I ended up here for dinner prior to a Lions game. They were not accepting reservations due the night game crowd but we waited in line for about 25-30 minutes. One of the owners would update us as we waited as the line moved steadily. (Much appreciated) Our server (Lauren) was pleasant and efficient as we ordered our starter,Saganaki. The menu included many Greek food options that you'd expect. We settled on the Moussaka and the Gyro Platter dinner. The Moussaka was very good and I could have eaten another helping. The Gyro Platter was good as was the Saganaki. If you're looking for a good restaurant in Greek Town you won't be disappointed. read more

This place was a nice short Uber from the convention center. Right in the heart of downtown, probably get here for less than 10 bucks from anywhere in the area. Food is great. Service was excellent. Flavors are very unique and definitely Mediterranean. Atmosphere was comfortable and stylish. Serving size was also very hearty! Took a couple of business partners here and even indulged in a fishbowl! Unfortunately Greektown is not the same as you find another major cities, but this place is definitely keeping it alive. read more

We visited this weekend. While we were seated quickly by the manager on a Saturday night, our waitress charged us for three unrequested sides of pita, fries, and extra onions that we had never asked for but were placed at our table as if they came with the entrees we ordered. She never told us she would be adding the extra portions and we had never thought to question the extra portions and just assumed they were the normal portions... we didn't even eat the extra but had to pay ~$20 extra for this. Beware if you are visiting especially if you are in a larger group. Check your bill to make sure that you werent charged for food you never asked for. 1 star for the bad practice. To The Greek staff, do not add on sides to your tables without their knowledge or approval to do so. read more

I seem to have always passed this place by in the past, generally going to another restaurant in Greektown. This time, before a concert at Comerica Park, we decided to give The Greek a try. The Greek has your typical Greektown restaurant menu, with various classic Greek options. I had the chicken gyro plate and it was pretty darn good. I wouldn't consider it to be quite on par with some of of the other establishments along Monroe street, but this is a solid option. The restaurant seemed well run and service was friendly and attentive. The Greek seems to be on track for continued success as it is one of the many Greektown restaurants that has reimagined itself over the last five or so years. read more

This place is fantastic. We traveled from Seattle to Detroit for my husband's nephews wedding and my husband wanted to get UMPA! We parked our car ($5.00) wow what a great rate! The street outside is alive with people walking and cruising ! Loud music, the restaurant window pulled up we become part of the fabric that makes Greektown dynamic! The good is tremendous! UMPA started our meal, followed by lamb gyros, one cheeseburger plate and for me, capers, lemon and garlic chicken. We chose Greek beers to accompany the food! Fix Hellas and Mythos! Both are smooth and satisfy the thirst found in the hot humid 90 degree days. I highly recommend this place. The food, the service and the atmosphere are wonderful!!!! Come to Detroit and dine here!! read more

Met up with a colleague for lunch at The Greek in "Greektown" ... the restaurant had a classic bar feel & staff was welcoming. The calamari came with a creamy sauce - I asked for some extra marinara - it was a great starter. I checked yelp for recommended dishes & there were some mixed reviews - I decided to go with the Greek salad... a salad after their namesake - I figured I couldn't go wrong. I ordered it with gyro meat but asked them to grill it some to crisp it up (makes a huge difference). The salad had all kinds of yummy ingredients: feta, banana peppers, olives - it was a winner. My colleague ordered a steak (NY strip I think) - I got to taste a bite - not bad at all. Didn't order any desserts but I would definitely return if I were in the area again. Of the 2 Greek restaurants in this area, I found this one more appealing (facility & food). read more
