    Follow up to a Grubhub order. I gave the restaurant a 1-star review for taking 2 hours to deliver an order of small pizza and fries to my apartment 2.5 miles away. When it was already over an hour from the time I ordered, I called and was given a bogus excuse of too much traffic. I don't know how far these guys are willing to deliver to, but I was driving through the area after I had ordered to finish some errands, and to my surprise there was actually very little traffic. Which looking back makes sense since it was the Friday before NYE and a lot of people probably left town for it and students are on vacation. I usually stick away from leaving reviews knowing it's usually either people who are really happy or really pissed. Unfortunately, rather than being sincerely apologetic for the insane wait (and pretty clearly lazy excuse) the restaurant took the position of briefly saying "sorry for the wait" then accusing me of "not getting the facts straight." They claimed that I don't live down the street but in fact 20 minutes away - truthfully it's more like 15 minutes, with normal traffic, so we each exaggerated a bit - and that I should've researched the prices before ordering - as if I didn't know what the price was when I pre-tipped the driver through the app. Learned my lesson on that too. The reality is my food was just average and smaller than I expected - the pizza was smaller than a Dominos small which is fine if I knew I was paying for a personal pizza. Then again they charged $8.50 which is crazy expensive. The restaurant's solution was to bash an unsatisfied customer and even at the point of sale made no attempt to refund me for what was obviously cold food at that point or anything like that. Clearly a lot of people like this place so I'm guessing my experience was out of the ordinary. But clearly these guys aren't serious if their strategy is to take 2 hours to deliver a small order just over 2 miles away in the same town, pre-tipped, then get offended over an honest review and not be appreciative of a paying customer who had a bad experience. And not only that, but to then take a personal swipe and insult that customer. Bad business and plenty of pizza shops around, so these guys can stick to their usual clientele. The defensive and combative reply to my criticism is pretty pathetic, when I even gave them the benefit of the doubt that it may just have been a bad night for them.

    Sliced pizza sausage = to half a full sausage with peppers and onions all thin sliced. They took pizza toppings and put them on a sub.

    Can't believe I've been living in the area for over a decade and never thought to check it out…read more Ironically, I only discovered this place because I had to park nearby and walk nearly 3 blocks to the Mediterranean Grill which proved to be an underwhelming experience, but noticed this place due to the "Zagat rated" sign in the window which piqued my interest. Well, sometimes the best things happen by pure chance...and thus I came back to try out this place a couple weeks later, and found it to be far and away the best Greek/Mediterranean food I've ever had in the entire greater Boston area! It's easy to see why this place is Zagat rated. Easily beats out bigger, trendier and fancier-looking, much pricier "Greek" places such as Zo Greek in Somerville's Assembly Square (review upcoming) as well as the more downmarket hole in the wall places like Falafel King. Everything was very fresh and flavorful. Loved the Sampler Plate for two, everything on it was absolutely scrumptious and next time I might order one just for myself so I don't need to share it with anyone else, hahaha...really brings out your inner greedy-S.O.B.! Also loved that their fresh-cut french fries are actually pan-fried, not deep fried...first time I've ever encountered that anywhere in this city, and they were also crazy good...instead of just tasting the oil as happens with deep-frying (especially if they are frozen fries with that yucky mushy cardboard texture) you actually get the full flavor of the (gasp!) POTATOES, and do not need to drown them in ketchup or salt the living daylights out of them. Truly a "homemade" experience! We tried both the "Greek" fries and the regular fries, both were rave-worthy...and this is from someone who normally avoids fries in restaurants because they are usually made from tasteless frozen potatoes. Lamb kebab and moussaka were also excellent, as was the baklava and galaktoboureko. Baklava outside of the Mediterranean and Middle East tends to be very mediocre and overly sweet...not here! Lastly, it's a beautiful and charming spot. It doesn't make any attempt to be trendy or gimmicky. Just has a warm friendly ambiance, which also describes the service. Can't recommend this place enough...will definitely be one of my regular go-to places!

    I love Greek food and I knew from my husband that Boston has a big Greek community and great…read morerestaurants if you want a traditional Greek fare, exactly what I wanted. The places he used to go are gone, some replaced by local chains, casual in line with national chains. I wasn't interested in that sanitized version of Greek food that I knew it's lack authenticity. I did lots of research looking for a family owned restaurant (Yelp wasn't helpful at all). Found the Greek Corner in an article about best Greek restaurants in Boston, after looking into the menu and address, I realized that it was close to our accommodation, a few minutes of walking away! Greek Corner it was meant to be! We dined there after our first full day in Boston, after long hours of walking, working and sightseeing. The restaurant was cozy, nice decor, with a few regular customers. We were greeted right away, asked to sit where we wanted, so we picked a table by the window. Got water from the house right away. Customer service is attentive, not hovering, just right. We order portions of gyros and souvlaki, they both come with salads and fries or rice. Avery, our waiter substituted for free for us regular fries with Greek fries (they come with cheese, sprinkled with oregano), and we thought that was so nice and welcoming! Food was great, classic, traditional in the good way, the meat is tender, flavorful, the salads are fresh, the feta cheese is outstanding. The gyro plate coms with pita bread. We got Mythos beer to go with the food, not amazing, had it before in Greek restaurants but why go with anything that's not Greek? For dessert, we shared a Galaktoboureko, a cheese/vanilla custard pie in phyllo dough with cinnamon sprinkled on top, it melts in your mouth! Perfect place to chill and decompress after a long day, relaxing, great service, good food! We also came back here during our last full day in Boston. It was a change of plans. This year, we seem to go on a new personal trend while travelling - we love a restaurant and keep going back LOL! It was a rainy day, we were tired and wanted to stay away from tourist traps so coming back to a nice neighborhood spot where you know what you'll get it was comforting. We were recognized by the staff right away, picked the same time and ordered Greek red wine - Vin de Crete (just OK) and I got a Moussaka, a nice hot dish, loved the potatoes and eggplant, a classic dish, I chose rice pilaf this time around. My husband went for the Pastitso, perfect for a cooler day. He also got rice pilaf and the dish was perfect. They both come with the Greek salads which we loved! For dessert, we went classic again, shared a portion of Baklava (my husband had his eyes set on in from our previous time), and it didn't disappoint! Prices are reasonable here, service is nice, we loved having Avery taking care of us, nice to chat with, very fun and kind. It really feels like a cozy neighborhood spot where you are taken care of! I wish I could still walk to it! Can I have it bought to LA, please? Great Greek restaurant in Cambridge! Loved everything about it!

Right now they have their summer menu which consist of tasty items like bbq chicken and sweet matcha frozen yogurt. I like their chicken plate, crispy falafel, and lamb meatball pita. The only con is that the chicken only comes with 1 skewer and the lamb meatball comes with 3 pieces. However, if you order a plate you get salad and either fries or rice which somewhat makes up for this. I recommend ordering their sides combo of 3 for $15. What's unique is that they have a bar here with drinks which I haven't noticed at other locations. They have a fair amount of seating and they were pretty slow on a Saturday evening when I visited. The restaurant was clean and had a lot of green plant decoration.

The Zucchini Pancake with charred eggplant and corn & pepper ezme is underrated--complex and satisfying. Both desserts were delicious: the Muhalabi (dark chocolate, kaymak ice cream, rye cocoa shortbread) is sophisticated and rich, while the Almond Cremolata is lighter and coconutty.

The restaurant does not have parking, however there is street parking. The vibe was lively and the staff were amazing during our visit. We tried a number of dishes but hands down my two favorite was the Black Sea cornbread and the fried chicken. I would totally order these again in a subsequent visit. You can let the waitress who serve you know that you want the fried chicken as it is not on the menu for ordering. The children enjoyed their lamb kothe sliders. We tried the warm gyro bread and the avocado muhummara. I think for a first time, it was worth getting. If visiting a second time, I would try something else though. Same for the octopus souvlaki, would try only once. The Tunisian brik tacos, which has tuna, was slightly on the salty side. We actually didn't finish this as well as the Brussels sprout bravas. Key takeaway, book a reservation but also check back for cancellations because they do turn up and you can sign up for emails to be notified of cancellations. Service and atmosphere are great. The cornbread and fried chicken are musts!!! See my pictures.
