    Grilled Lamb Chops / 'Paidakia'
    George N.

    Solid Greek spot in Bethlehem with a warm, darker ambiance. We started with the cheese flambé, which was rich, bold, and full of flavor. The lamb chops were cooked perfectly and easily the standout of the night. The gyros were fine--nothing special. Cocktails were excellent and definitely on the stronger side.

    Greek cuisine A+ Presentation A+ Service A++++ We plan on returning a 100 times. I can't say enough of this place.

    We had dinner out and a huge menu. Several Greek wines and cocktails. Everyone was satisfied with their drinks. Very refreshing. A few non alcoholic drinks for those doing dry January. We also had sword fish Slovakia, these delicious taverna chips and spin. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. Overall very good meal. They stay busy and got us in and out. Probably a good idea to make reservation.

    Grilled shrimp and a light cream sauce with rice and tomatoes

    This place is amazing! Wonderful food and great service. The grilled octopus was cooked to perfection. The grilled shrimp was pared with the light cream sauce was truly delicious. I would give this place 10 more stars if I could. On a Thursday tables are pretty full and happy customers all around. This could beat a Michelin restaurant. Thank you for a great dinner

    Feta and  olives.

    A true gem in Bethlehem! Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, amazing service!! The place is spotless, including the men's room! The service was impressive, the food was awesome. 100% 5 stars. Check out the pics!

    What a great meal! We enjoyed everything we ordered. Modern clean Greek restaurant. Quite nice decor. Our server was busy on a Sunday night but everyone pitches in to help. Nice to see! 4 Stars because Manager & waiter asked if wanted more pita with our 3 dips. We said of course! Never mentioned charging for it. Come on... it's not an inexpensive place no need to do this to customers. Management needs to change this practice ASAP!

    Mushroom pasta

    I was in town visiting and chose a random place to eat dinner . I'm so glad I made that choice because this place was amazing ! Food and service 10/10 . I had the octopus appetizer and the mushroom pasta , both were flavorful and the pasta was cooked to perfection . The atmosphere was so cute and romantic . Their drinks were delicious too and I can't wait to come back and try other things !

    The food is good. But it's too crowded. It is loud in there with all of the noise bouncing off the hard surfaces.

Food that's absolutely a must order include the hummus platter, with extraordinary fresh bread. and the baklava. Both are epic! I had the lunch special, which was lamb kebabs with white rice. Lamb was ok but not remarkably spiced nor that tender. But it was good. The rice was a bit mushy and there was little to no dressing on the salad nor the red cabbage on the dish. Would have loved to have had something more like rice pilaf. Requested some white yogurt dressing on the side and this brought it together. I don't think one can judge a place based on the lunch special so I will definitely be returning to try more of their entrées that they're known for. The place was packed so clearly locals know this is a good place to go!

Both were extremely flavorful gyro wraps - the seasonings, fresh tomato, lettuce, and onion, and tzadziki complementing the rest. Additionally each came with French fries - also perfect. Crispy and well seasoned, while the inner potato was soft. We ordered a couple more gyros and accompaniments to take home for my wife and other daughter. Yanni, the owner, deconstructed them for travel (separated pita, meat, vegetables, tzadziki, and fries) which allowed the gyros to be reheated and reassembled at home - perfect. How did we learn of Gyro Concept? From a FB Reels influencer, a young Greek woman living in NYC who covers Greek food topics [Evelyn, "saganponyc"] (she has her own restaurant now)! Clearly this was a great lead. Yanni and his staff were very welcoming, and the restaurant was neat, modern, and very clean. 10/10 would recommend.

    5 Stars - Lazeez Fresh Mediterranean Grill - Worth Every Bite!…read moreJust had one of the best Mediterranean meals I've had in a long time at Lazeez Fresh, and honestly, it's the kind of spot that makes you want to come back the next day. The owner himself came out after I finished eating and we had a nice little chat--he was telling me how his two sons are now working with him, which was really cool to hear. You can tell the family runs this place with heart, and it shows in the food. * Chicken Shawarma: Loaded--seriously, no skimping here. Piles of juicy, perfectly seasoned chicken, not the sad half-wraps you get elsewhere. And the fact it's served in puffy pita bread instead of those thin tortillas most places use? Game-changer. Tasted fresh and authentic. * Baba Ghanoush: Super fresh, creamy, and came with warm pita chips and bread on the side. Perfect balance, not too garlicky or oily. * Tabbouleh: Exactly how my grandma used to make it--bright, herby, lots of parsley and fresh tomato, lemony without being sour. Spot on. * Namorah (2 pieces): Chef's kiss. Moist, not dry like some versions, sweet but not overpowering, just the right texture. Finished them way too fast. Everything felt homemade and made with care. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the vibe is welcoming. This is the kind of place you tell your friends about. Would love to come back but was just passing through for work--highly recommend Thanks to the owner Adnan and the sons for the great food and the chat--keep doing what you're doing!
