    Spanakopita
    Katherine V.

    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.

    Kolokythokeftedes & Chicken Kalamaki

    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!

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Veggie Pita w/ chicken and side salad
    Marni M.

    My friend and I came here before a paint and sip night nearby. The place is medium in size with a fair amount of high table tops and seats at the bar. Hostess was quick to provide us with our menus. Between the original gyro with pork and the veggie pita with chicken, the pita definitely won in the flavor department. The various vegetables provided a satisfying burst of salty, briny and slightly sweet profile. In comparison, the gyro was tasty on its own but was drier. Overall, we had a great time. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Would come again to try more of their small plates and dips!

    Chicken Gyro and side salad
    Jillian C.

    I've had Zo a few times now, mostly takeout. I recently dined in for the first time and can say i prefer takeout. The place is pretty tiny but very busy so feels a little tight inside. Amazing salads and spanakopita but was not impressed with their chicken gyro. While the warm pita bread was good, there was an overwhelming amount of diced tomatoes and onions at the top front of the gyro leaving the rest of gyro a bit dry. I think this place is better suited for shareables. Nevertheless, I will continue to eat from here when in the area. Overall, it satisfies my Greek food cravings!

    Shrimp Skewers Spicy Wings
    Nitasha K.

    My husband and I have come here twice now, and it's a great local spot for us where we feel like the food is clean, flavorful, and light. Ambiance is casual, service is friendly. Our favorites have been the wings, spicy feta, shrimp skewer, chicken kabobs, Greek fries, and patates limonates. We tend to do these items to share but the gyro looks really good so will have to do that at some point. We recently tried the fig and goat cheese dip and though this was yummy, after a while it's sweet so you have to be in the mood for a sweet and filling appetizer. Definitely would continue to come back!

    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!

Chicken kebab plate: chicken was spiced fairly well but hadn't been properly brine or marinated so it was rather dry. Lamb kebab plate, first it was 4 chunk of meat which were about half the serving size at most other restaurants. The lamb was extremely chewy with lots of connective tissues. One of the four was so bad that it was inedible. Low quality meat and lack of proper marinading to compensate for it. No reason to return when there are so many other options right nearby

    For my own birthday this year, I chose Oleana, supposedly one of Boston's best Mediterranean…read morerestaurants, and reservations are almost a month in advance. Overall, I was satisfied. Fatteh: The presentation was beautiful, with a delightful array of layers. Between two layers of crispy chips laid the chewy texture of fried mushrooms, the sweetness of cauliflower, the nutty aroma of pine nuts, and the refreshing sweet and sour taste of yogurt--a random combination that offered a different experience with every bite. The cauliflower, in particular, was crisp yet not tough, with a naturally gentle sweetness--a first for me. However, towards the end, the crispy chips became very slightly oily. Sultan's Delight: Perfect as a main course. The beef was stewed to perfection, incredibly tender and flavorful, almost falling apart the moment it touched the knife. It required absolutely no effort, reminiscent of a master butcher skillfully carving up an ox in Zhuangzi莊子, who kept his knife like new over nineteen years. The tamarind brought a slightly fermented, tangy aroma, while the smoked eggplant puree, likely babaganoush, was smooth and creamy with a mild, pleasant smokiness. The lemon juice, however, adds a refreshing touch, creating an interesting layering of acidity. It looked small, but it was surprisingly satisfying. The only downsides were the beef was slightly over-salty and the basil leaves, which seem to serve only a decorative purpose. Baked Alaska: A signature dessert, very popular on social media. Frankly, I came specifically for this, but after eating it, all I can say is, "Who's promoting this?"... The presentation was truly stunning, and the first few bites were quite good. The meringue was was torched to create a thin, burnt crust, resulting in a delicate and light texture, while the coconut ice cream blended with the bitter aroma of coffee. However, the base, a nut tart similar to a five-nut mooncake五仁月餅 filling, was too dense and heavy; the passion fruit syrup was excessively sweet and acidic, even a small amount was cloying, making it a torture by the end. The restaurant tables were a bit uneven and hopefully they will be repaired soon.

You must get this. - Honey Nut Hummus: this was honestly fine and I'd probably try a different dip next time. - Warm Gyro bread: well seasoned and great to share between two. I normally don't like gyro but I enjoyed this. - Lamb al pastor: this was a favorite. It was sweet and the lamb was tender.
