    I loved this spot!!! Located on Assembly Row The food is really fresh and delicious, and the staff are sooo so so wonderful :) It's the kind of treatment you get that makes you feel like they really care about you and your experience! The Halloumi ($12), Horiatiki Salad ($15) + Salmon ($9) were all amazing. There is a good amount of seating inside and a few tables on the outdoor patio.

    Go here and eat simple and plain, you won't be disappointed!!Even the greek style sodas they offered were certified top shelf hits! I went with the orange and it was amazing! The baklava cheesecake was first ballot hall of fame!

    Had a fantastic lunch yesterday! We ordered the Caramelized Fig & Goat Cheese Dip, Patates Lemonates, Chargrilled Octopus ( an absolute must! ), Kalamaki chicken & beef skewers. The food was of the highest quality along with the service.

    Great service and ambiance. I got the basic item, gyro wrap with chicken. It was definitely good flavors, chicken was cooked well not too dry. There was a lot of chicken though I guess I'm one of those people that like more veggies. Fries were like a wedge like cut, but thin and hearty.

    Small place for a quick bite . Chicken was a little dry and the dipping sauce for the pita was a bit bitter . Overall the food could have been better .

    Spanakopita

    Food is good, service was interesting, atmosphere was nice. We got the chicken gyro, trio pita dip, fried halloumi cheese, spanokopita and a side of fries. Everything was very palatable. The halloumi was definitely a favorite! We did have a mishap with the gyro - we ordered chicken but was served pork and the waitress was convinced it was chicken. Eventually it was fixed but just a heads up for folks who can't have pork. The staff were nice but definitely understaffed. Our waitress basically was running more than half if not the whole store during our visit and it was packed. It's a good place for a bite if you're craving Greek and already in the area to stop by.

    zo greek is one of my favorite restaurants in the boston area because of their consistent amazing quality food, service, and vibe. i love to visit at least once a month and i'm always looking forward to it. my favorite order includes: tirokafteri, kolokythokeftedes, chargrilled octopus, chicken souvlaki, and lahanodolmades. the tirokafteri with homemade pita is so fresh and delicious, order it with chicken souvlaki (skewers) which comes with tzatziki, all of it together will put you on another planet. the chargrilled octopus are smooth and tender with the perfect balance flavor of lemon. their kolokythokeftedes with goat cheese dill aoili and lahanodolmades with the addicting avgolemono sauce are both super yummy and incredibly filling. their baklava cheesecake with fruit is an amazing ending to one of the best meals. i've never been disappointed coming here. bring your appetite!

    Souvlaki
    Jungwon K.

    One of the best restaurants in the area!! I still think about this meal and wonder when I'll be back. The menu was very extensive and we had a hard time picking just one app. We got the dolmadakia, and it was so delicious. It was served cold and it had a very strong salty olive flavor that paired well with the rice inside. I could probably eat like 10 of these. The beef souvlaki was incredible!!! The beef is extremely juicy and tender, and the tzatziki is so creamy. This is my favorite dish on the menu. The gyro was huge, and the chicken was good. If anything, the chicken was a little dry but the sauce and tomatoes make up for it. The service is really nice and the inside has a mini Greek grocery store with a bunch of snacks. Literally cannot wait to come back!

    Spread Sampler
    Yangsoo S.

    Great food and service! When we arrived at the business, we could already tell that it is going to be a good experience. Pretty smoky as their grilling station is right next to the seats but that also means that you can smell those scented dishes right away when you enter the venue. We started with spread sampler and proceeded with spinach pie, pork gyro, and shrimp saganaki. They were all good but our favorite was of course pork gyro with great flavors. We could taste that their ingredients were fresh overall. My friend grabbed Zo Rita (their version of margarita) and enjoyed it as well. I only gave 4 starts since the plates were bit expensive (small shrimp saganaki was $22 by itself) and were disappointed that the grill machine was broken and we could not try their famous skewers, alas, but next time!

    Chicken Gyro Greek Salad Greek Fries Spicy feta

    Had to wait a little to be seated but it was no worries, as we didn't have a reservation. The interior was nice and pretty classic for a Greek spot. I was obsessed with their spicy feta and it was so good smeared on the gyro I got. They gyro was pretty big and at a fairly decent price. I loved the fries and side salad and thought it was nice you got to choose one. I would definatly come back

    Olympian and Chargrilled Wings
    Tianna D.

    I've been getting food from Zo Greek for years I'm surprised I haven't done a review as yet! My love for them all started with their fries. My husband ordered them for delivery one day. I didn't want anything or so I thought. I just remember when I tried their fries after being in a closed container that took 40 minutes to deliver, I was expecting soggy cold fries but no no... to my surprise, not only were they still warm! They were still crispy!! He regretted giving me any to try- I ate off half the container *blush* Whenever we're feeling for wings but want to be "healthy" we get their chargrilled wings and of course a side of the greek fries. I've also tried their grilled octopus which is a fave as well. This weekend we were showing my brother around Assembly. We were all feeling hungry and thought to take him here because he's a fan of grilled food and I don't think he's eaten at a Greek restaurant before. We ordered the Spinach dip, The Olympian and a serving of wings. The Olympian is definitely a great choice for sharing and getting to try a bit of everything. It comes with 2 spanakopitas (generous sizes) 1/2lb lamb chops (so about 2-3 chops depending on the weight) 6 kebabs (2 beef, 2 pork, 2 chicken) 6 wings Greek fries nestled below all the meats that stay crispy! Tzatziki + pita We ordered the extra serving of wings because my brother eats a lot of protein and loves wings. Even though it was good, I do think we could have done without the spinach dip since the Olympian came with spanakopita.

    Fries

    This used to be our favorite place to come to when we were at the Assembly Row for many years. Stopped in today for a dinner for the first time in a while, excited to have our fave dishes. Unfortunately, I have no idea what was sever's issue with us, as she looked unhappy with us from the very beginning. We asked for a table for three. Entire place was maybe 20% full, but we were brought to the table tucked at the wall across from the take out counter. We asked for another table, and she huffed that we 'could have this table' on the way to the bathrooms. We chose not to stay and won't be returning here again. Hope they work with their staff on making sure their guests feel welcome.

    Chargrilled Octopus and Aristotle Martini
    Katie E.

    Was so surprised to realize I've never reviewed this place before--Zo is my go to neighborhood spot for delicious, no frills Greek food. It's a pretty casual place, they have an express takeout counter in the back alongside a full sit down menu in the restaurant/bar (which is also available on delivery apps). I've sampled both several times, and have yet to try anything I didn't throughly enjoy. Here's my all-star list: - Chargrilled Octopus (if I had to pick a favorite recommend to, she's the one) - Chargrilled wings (another must try) - Beef Kalamaki - Any of the Gyros - Avgolemono Soup - Spread sampler If you're visiting with a group, the Olympian platter is also a great choice. It has some of the best things on the menu, and it's a relatively affordable way to sample the lamb chops without committing to the full 1 lb portion. A couple of tips if you're thinking of visiting for the first time: the takeout counter is FAST. If you need a good meal in a hurry, this is the move. You barely have time to find a spot to stand and wait after placing your order before it's ready to go. On the flip side, the restaurant is relatively small. Be prepared to wait if you come at a busy time, but it's worth it. Will probably keep working my way through the menu here until I've tried it all. Perfect choice for a laid back, reliable meal!

    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!

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!

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.

I think Sarma can be a bit inconsistent at times. I've had very salty brussels sprouts and pastitsio before.

    Sarma is a very popular tapas style restaurant located in Somerville, MA. The restaurant is booked…read morefar out by about a month. I kept checking daily for cancelations and signing up and after a few missed opening, I was lucky to snatch a reservation that opened up due to cancellation. This was a restaurant that my husband had wanted to try so I was diligently checking for cancelation before his surgery. We were so lucky to go just before he had surgery with the children. 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.
