Just had lunch at Simple Greek and had a fantastic experience. Staff was very friendly and personable! They welcomed us in, thanked us for coming, and even checked in on our meal which is impressive for a fast, casual place. I am not used to such high level of customer service for a lunch spot and was very impressed. The level of service provided should be the industry standard! Unfortunately, too often these types of places have rushed and weak customer service. So, hats off to Simple Greek! As for the food we both thought our meals were delicious! My co-worker and I both built our own gyros with gyro meat; I loved mine and love the customizable nature that allowed me to get exactly what I wanted. Greek fries were a hit too. We both agreed we need to come back and bring more of our office staff to try. This place was a great find and will be added to our rotation of good lunch spots! It was bustling with students for the lunch rush since there is a school nearby and it was nice to see. 10/10 Food and Service. I had a great experience and look forward to my next visit! read more

Great food and great service! This is my second visit. The gyro pita is really satisfying. read more

Fast-casual for Greek cuisine. Good concept and execution! I stopped in for lunch and got a falafel bowl along with a side of hummus and pita. Service was quick and cheerful. The falafel bowl was piled with lots of veggies (they let you select as many as you want) though it was a bit light on falafel itself (only four smallish pieces). The hummus was actually quite good; more on the lemony side and less creamy, which I liked. The pita was fine though nothing special. read more

Great carry out or delivery spot! Fresh Mediterranean bowls full of tasty veggies, protein, and rice. We ordered in for lunch, and our order arrived in a timely manner. The chicken was tender, the falafel had a nice crunch, and the pita bread was pleasantly soft and chewy. I will note that the bowls are a smidge smaller than what I've gotten elsewhere, but the lower price reflected that, and it was the perfect meal size for me to feel comfortably full. read more

Food: pretty decent carry-out Mediterranean food. My husband and I tried a 'build your own pita'. The pita was warmed up upon ordering and the veggies were fresh. I know that lamb is typically a salty meat, but it seemed a little saltier here. Service: My husband and I experienced limited customer service as we ordered food to go, but the service that we did experience was good. Value: one pita was about $9. Though my husband and I had a coupon for a BOGO offer, I think it's a pretty good value as they give pretty good meat/veggie portions. Location: Located on Wilson Blvd next to a Bistro. Small parking lot/very limited parking. read more

4 stars for flavor. 1 star for service. Ordered the family meal, did not receive any dressing for lettuce, no lemon potatoes at all, only half of the pita breads, no substituted French fries for village salad (which was 3 T in container - approximately 1/5 of the container), rice was 2/3 full, green beans were 1/3 full. Went back to remedy and was given option of more rice or dessert, was charged for extra feta and fries. Just a disaster on an $85 meal we used for a picnic at local park, beyond good flavor. The lentils ordered separately were good. read more

Nice staff. Portions were good sized but food was a little lacking in flavor. We had hummus, salads and chicken. Not sure I would go back.

I had tried this place at work and really liked it so have ordered a few times through Ubereats because it is really good. But every.single.time they never add lettuce to my bowl. I even added extra this time for .99¢ thinking it'll for sure get added since I'm getting charged extra. But nope, no lettuce again. I do really like their food but they get my order wrong every time so not sure if I'll keep ordering from them read more

Stumbled upon this spot when going into DC. Quick, very friendly staff and good food. I think the wrap would benefit from being warmed up before assembling, and the shawarma meat would be best if shaved in the moment. Not the best Greek food there is but it does the job. read more

Basically the Greek version of Chipotle. The food here is solid and healthy. Everything seems rather fresh, and the customization nature of the bowls makes it very easy to eat healthy. This is one of those places that you can get take-out from without feeling too guilty - it's a nice feeling, and we definitely need more places like this in the area. That said, as others indicate, the portion sizes can be a bit inconsistent here, and they're sometimes a bit on the small side. It's not uncommon to get a boatload of lentils or peppers but a relatively sad quantity of meat or oil. I suppose that's part of the nature of ordering online - you're not there to specify how much you want - but it can be a bit disappointing at times. read more

It's been awhile since I enjoyed gyro. The Simple Greek delivered. I'll definitely return.

The family platter is huge!! It can definitely can feed more than 4 people. The green beans, chicken, and gyro meat were the best parts of the meal. The rice and potatoes were ok, I wish there was a little more to them. We got takeout but it was quick, definitely good if you're looking for a quick bite to eat. read more

This place was completely empty at Lunch. Bad sign. Simple Greek was a simply terrible Cava. What a wasted opportunity. There are zero authentic Greek places in this area and yet they choose to be a bowl place serving plain tasting mediocre food. Signs everywhere say changing things for the better. I find that very hard to believe but I hope so. read more

The Simple Greek was almost empty while the neighboring restaurants bustled with customers; I should have taken that as a sign that the 4-star Yelp average was misleading. But the menu sounded appealing, so I went in. Even though no one else was dining in when I got there, I had to scout around for a table that had been cleaned of crumbs from previous diners. I ordered a bowl with lentils as the base. The lentils looked like they'd formed a crust on top when he scooped them out of the warming pan; they'd probably been there for a while. I added falafel, some cucumber, olives, tomato, tzatziki and hummus. Overall it was just ok. The falafel didn't have that crispness with the steamy soft inside that a good, fresh one has. Maybe it had also been sitting too long. The taste of my dish wasn't bad, but it just didn't seem fresh or particularly appealing. I also ordered the Greek Fries. They were ready right away, because the fries were already cooked, being kept in a container. Maybe they were being kept warm or maybe thrown in the microwave to reheat? They were oily and limp -- you know, the way fries get when they are overdone and turn translucent and brown. Feta cheese and some barely discernible oregano were sprinkled on top. I ate about a third of the fries before I realized they were giving me no pleasure in exchange for the calories, so the rest went in the bin. Overall, The Simple Greek is not a place I'd come back to. read more

The food here is fine. The Simple Greek is a franchise, so they can't help the food, which is too bad, because the staff and franchisee were so friendly and nice that I wish the food was better. It's just kinda bland. I had a pita with hummus, gyro, vegetables, and feta and it was OK. I did like the Greek fries as those were crisp and tasty. The prep area was a little messy and the lettuce was browned, so that wasn't great either. I was hoping for better Greek, as there really isn't any in Arlington. read more

I like to give anyone the benefit of the doubt, but this was ridiculous. this is the second time i've placed an online order for my coworkers and myself for lunch, only for simple greek to cancel on me last minute. The first time it happened, i made the order the same day so if they couldn't do it in time, that's understandable. This time i placed the order a day ahead. plenty of time for them to accept or cancel. I just got the notification they cancelled, an hour before we needed the food. unacceptable. I don't know what issues going on over there, but i made it a a point to remove Simple Greek from our ordering list going forward. read more

Fast-casual Greek offering up healthy salads with bold Mediterranean flavors. The Roslyn-Clarendon corridor is awash in salad joints, with new arrival Simple Greek joining Sweet Green, Chop't, Roti, Cava, and Sweet Leaf in an increasingly crowded marketplace. Simple Greek distinguishes itself with bold flavors and some unique ingredients, and has earned a place in my rotation. SG follows the standard fast-casual playbook: pick your form (pita, salad or rice bowl), your protein, then add toppings. But it offers some distinctive protein choices, like the traditional gyro, which you won't find elsewhere. The gyro is juicy and well-seasoned, and offers enough heartiness to make the salads filling. Flavorful toppings include garlic green beans, village salad (cucumber, tomato and red onion, marinated in oil and vinegar), kalamata olives, feta cheese, roasted red peppers, mildly spicy pepperoncini, hummus, tzatziki, etc. Is this the best Greek food you'll ever eat? No, but at this price point you can't expect that. SG offers healthy, natural food that's tasty and boldly flavored, served quickly and at a reasonable price. If places like this continue to displace the burger and pizza joints of yesteryear, it's all to the good, says I. read more

Delicious - I had a chicken bowl, and every individual ingredient was flavorful and the combination was great! Will be back.

True to its name, The Simple Greek serves up straightforward Greek food that you can feel good about. Stopped by for take-out today on opening day. Decided on a bowl (you start off with either a pita or a bowl) with lentils and traditional gyro meat, garlic green beans (loved these) and selected my add-ons (tomato/cucumber mix, butter pepper and kalamata olives). Added a dolma to boot. Given that it was opening day decided to treat myself to the rizogalo (rice pudding) as well for desert which was exceptionally fresh tasting. Wow. The entire meal was great and I look forward to sampling through the rest of the menu. The gyros look and smell amazing. . . The atmosphere is clean and airy; staff is cheery; location has a parking lot; service was efficient, taking me just a couple of minutes to get through my order. Will definitely be adding The Simple Greek to my lunchtime circuit! If you are in search of a healthy whole food meal, look no further. read more

When the pho place next door was unexpectedly closed, my friend and I stopped here for dinner. You order your gyro Subway/Chipotle style, and someone behind the counter makes it as slowly as humanly possible. Despite the lamb gyro being fairly greasy, this was a perfectly fine and super reasonably priced dinner. There was no one dining in while we were there in January for dinner. I would not go out of my way to come here, but it was perfectly OK. read more

The customer service her was phenomenal!!! You can't beat it. It can't help that I visited right before the lunch rush which was great as I was in and out with my takeout pretty quickly. The place is spotless and the servers were more than happy to answer all my many questions and let me taste some of the optional sauces before deciding. I also like that they have a loyalty program that works with your phone number and a offer military discount. I got a bowl with mostly greens and sliced lamb which can see turning on the rotisserie. There's also a private lot with parking for patrons which I appreciated. There's also a nice selection of baklava and sweets to soothe your sweet tooth. Unfortunately, it was a full day of Keto eating for me which this totally met. I'll definitely visit again when I'm in the area. read more

Fresh ingredients and good gyro. A bowl is a pretty good meal. They add lots of ingredients of your choice.

If we could rate The Simple Greek more than 5 stars we would! As a business in Arlington we order catering every Friday for the office and this place is always a 10/10 and a place all of our employees LOVE! The manager, David, is always so kind and helpful- he sent us a Baklava Cheesecake this week and IT IS A MUST TRY! Yia-yia's House Party pack is the way to go if you have 10+ people! Can't go wrong with the grilled chicken or steak, gyro meat, village salad, hummus.. you get the gist- all awesome! Overall, this is a must try place for lunch read more

I'm torn between giving this place 3 or 4 stars; we ordered last night and the food was good and the price was reasonable (about 30$ for two entrees, a side, and delivery.) That being said, they messed up both our orders; my boyfriend ordered a chicken pita wrap and they sent him a salad bowl (with the same ingredients), and I ordered a falafel salad bowl which was missing at least one topping, mpita bread, and only had two pieces of falafel. The falafel was also pretty disappointing - very dry and not spiced all that well. We enjoyed our meals and will probably order again, but with lowered expectations of the accuracy of our orders. Update 5/31: A manager reached out to me after my initial review and we ordered again (takeout this time.) Again, the food was satisfying and reasonably priced, and the customer service I received in-store was fantastic. The management team clearly cares about customer satisfaction, and that's enough to bump my rating up to a 4. read more

Was ok... Rather disappointing. The beef was dry. The fries were old and and green beans tasted as if they were canned. The rice pilaf was just plain rice. We ended up throwing out the beef and green beans. I wish them luck though. They had no one sitting in or out of the restaurant whilst the other restaurants next to them were bustling with clientele. To be fair the baklava was pretty good. read more

My first visit was closer to the grand opening. It was a good crowd. My group is used to Cava and a few other places. This was worse. So I said I'd give this place another chance since I got a coupon for a free lunch n the mail. (Woot!) I walk in and the girl dropping fries gives me a look like I shot her childhood dog. I'm sorry, did u NOT want customers? (Clearly--it wasn't a soul in there and the staff had Popeyes and chipotle orders around. (Loyalty loyalty loyalty smh) I started this review as I was "studying the menu" hoping someone else would come to take my order.... nope. It was the "Choleric Cashier".... the moment I hoped would not happen. The scowl persisted until I whipped out that free coupon. I guess it was funny. My entry to the restaurant was funnier imo (HEY YAWL.. what a line! --it was empty). I guess now I'm left here to enjoy this mediocre free meal. Super grateful tho. read more

Got carry out from The Simple Greek today; the food was ready on time and hot! Ordered 2 gyro bowls and a side of fries - everything was delicious. I especially loved that their carryout containers were compostable. We'll be coming back! read more

It might have just been the employee on duty when we ordered, but the food was unpalatably -- almost inedibly -- salty. Good concept and price, but it was irritating to have to throw more than half away and find something else to eat for dinner. Maybe it was an off night since there are so many positive reviews. read more

I had the traditional gyro meat with a bowl of lentils and a ton of the extras, from olives to tzatziki sauce. Very tasty and relatively healthy. Staff was a bit new but friendly. The cardboard bowls are cheap but everything else was good or very good. I will be back! read more

Check your order, and consider avoiding takeout entirely. If you do get takeout, don't just check your receipt, open the bag and actually check your food. I went here twice, the first time with an online order, and I checked the receipt when I picked it up, but when I got home the side of sauce I ordered (and paid extra for) was missing and there was an order of cheese fries I neither ordered nor paid for. Since I don't eat cheese, unfortunately they went to waste. The second time, I went in person thinking they couldn't mess up if I watched them make my food, and my order was correct when I paid but somehow the guy swapped my regular fries with yet another order of cheese fries. I ended up ridiculously washing off the fries when I got home because I really wanted fries with my sandwich but, like I said, I don't eat cheese. Having said that, their food is good! Especially if you actually like cheese fries! If you get what you order, you'll definitely be happy with your meal. read more

I don't know why this place has 4 stars.... Yuck! I ordered a pita with falafel and some toppings and it was so terrible that I threw it away.. the falafel was room temperature and stale, and the feta cheese and other toppings weren't cold. Everything was room temperature. I was actually afraid of getting food poisoning, so I didn't want to chance it. The place was totally empty at lunch time, and the food looked crusty like it had been sitting out all day. Nothing looked fresh. The restaurant had a dingy feel. I wasted $13.00. Not worth it!! read more

Live very close by and got food to go.Enjoyed the falafels very much, crispy and spices were perfect. Didn't like the village salad (way too acidic). Got a chicken and beef bowl but the restaurant messed up the order majorly: they forgot to include the pita, the hummus and potatoes and only found out after we already took the food home so it's such a disappointment. The meats weren't very flavorful, Cava is better. However, loved Simple Greek's falafels, they are very crispy and spices were perfect. read more

I love greek food but The Simple Greek can do a lot better! We've received catering from here for our office a few times during the last quarter of 2022 and are very disappointed. We have had excessively salty green beans, salty rice, and undercooked rice on more than one occasion. The last time we got food was this week and the salad was also bad: all tomatoes seem to have been prepped a few days before, looked dull, and were soggy. Please consider improving your offerings to the community as your menu is excellent but the quality leaves desiring for a lot more. read more

I'm glad I came to try out The Simple Greek! I had no idea they existed until I had a rare moment actually checking the mailer for coupons. When I saw their bogo pita coupon or buy a bowl and get free fries, I thought this place would be worth a try! So I came out around 11:30am on a weekday and there was barely any wait at that time. The first thing I noticed is like a fellow Yelper said, this restaurant is set up like a Chipotle. Adding the ingredients to the bowl was fun as there were plenty of options and all looked really fresh. The staff was very friendly. When I was driving here, I was wondering which special I should get, the bogo or free fries, and I opted for the fries because I was just feeling it that day. I was asked if I wanted greek fries or regular fries. I had no idea what greek fries were, but when the waitress explained that it is a heaping of fries with garlic salt, feta, oregano and red wine vinegar, I figured I'd try it. The entire meal did look healthy and fresh, but for some reason I was just not blown away by the meal, maybe it was because I was comparing it to a bowl from Mezeh that I had a few days earlier. The bowl was good and everything tasted fresh, while the greek fries were definitely interesting--I liked them overall but felt they were a little too heavy. Despite these minor things, I would go back to try The Simple Greek again if was in the neighbood. read more

I thought it was great!!! I had the traditional pita and the Greek fries and both were awesome, plenty of food so I left satisfied and will definitely be back. I would also suggest you support this local business. read more
