Greek To Me

Over over the top.
Portobello mushrooms appetizer
Best we ever had
Lamb chops — finger licking good.
Steak — awesome flavor and tender.
Staff is the best. Atmosphere was great.
What a great find.

The lamb chops are the best I have ever had. the service was great and the owners were very friendly.

The only nice thing I can say is that the food was good. The owners were abrasive and rude. They yelled at our group multiple times. You would think they had no idea they ran a business in the service industry. If we weren’t in a group, and came individually, we would have walked out.
Strike 1:
I went with a group from work. We made a reservation for 10. They were pissed because on 8 of us showed up and complained about how inconvenient that was to them. Note that there were only 6 other people in the whole place. It was almost empty.
Strike 2: we asked for separate checks. He refused. Then he complained about how rude WE were to inconvenience him with such a request.
Strike 3: As our food was coming to our table, two of my co-​workers had to leave to get to a meeting. The asked for to-​go boxes. The cook (brother?) came out of the kitchen upset saying that we needed to give him more time and and heads up, and insisted on knowing «why» they were leaving.
Strike 4: When one of the two who had to leave went to the counter to pay, the cook screamed at her. Literally scream. He would not let her pay her part.
Strike 5:
After the two with the meeting left, they both came over to our table to continue to yell at us about how absurd we were and that no restaurant out there would accommodate our requests.
At the end of our meal after one person paid for the whole group, we had put on our coats and pushed in our chairs, the cook came out again. He said, «You all, sit back down!» I think they were trying to make peace, because they brought out 2 pieces of baklava. «You all eat this!’ We sat down again like scared children and split it among us. Basically, we were afraid that if we didn’t finish it, he would call us rude for insulting his cooking.

We finally made the time to eat here and what a great choice. We had the garlic spread with pita bread, amazing and I would recommend this over hummus any time! The soup is absolutely a home made recipe and wonderful. If you have never tried the egg-​lemon, chicken and rice soup, its a must try. We shared the lamb chops, easily the best I have had. The baklava was perfect. Don’t wait, GO!

The lamb is excellent. The baklava is outstanding. Warm personable service. Wonderfully intimate place for a casual dinner with friends. We are coming back.

The food we ordered was pre-​made, frozen, thawed out and served under the notion of «homemade» — nothing homemade is made INSIDE a restaurant — perhaps the food we ordered was previously made at their home, frozen that night and then brought to the restaurant to be thawed out upon placing an order — if we wanted left overs made on a different day other than today we would have stayed home — there is DUST on all the salt shakers at every table — FORGET having a conversation with your family at the table — you can not hear each other talking nor can any of us think clearly — all one can hear is the staff constantly yakking on the phone, and the awful music is too loud while the television turned way up for the dead — RUN FROM THIS PLACE

This is a wonderful little place that was a short walk from my hotel room. Had of known this earlier, I would eaten here very night! The lamb chops were cooked to perfection, melt in your mouth delicious and reasonably priced. It’s a smaller, quaint venue with a full bar, and the owners are a joy and very attentive. They made me feel at home. The baklava was the best ever! Undeniably, the best on the planet! Keep up the good Greek to Me and if I’m ever in the area, I’ll be back,

We stayed at the Courtyard across the street and needed some good food. We found this restaurant via Unilocal so give it a go. We ended up being treated with good food and conversation. Dmitry was great and they have the best pork chops (greek style seasoning)!!!

Pretty good for the DTC.
— The saganaki came out flaming and had a nice crunch and aftertaste to it
— The grilled octopus had that nice grilled flavor to it and went nicely with the olive oil. Not the best octopus (it was more fishy than steaky), but we are very far away from the ocean
— The lamb kebob was very tender. Could have used a little more flavor
— Service was ok. Only one server for a packed house made it a little chaotic, but it could have been much worse

I am shocked at the positive reviews for this place. Today, Saturday ⁸⁄₂₉ I went to this restaurant for lunch. I will address food, facility and service. First, food… Let me say that the hummus taste is OK, nothing special, expensive for the small plate you receive, and you receive like 7 or 8 pita slices to eat the hummus, I asked for more pita only to find out its $ 1.25 for more. The fried zucchini is not good, and the garlic mash with the zucchini is even worse. The Greek Giro platter offers lamb and beef, could not tell what which was which, but to make it worse, I found hard, bone like elements in the meat. Like other reviewers, it seemed like the portion was small for the price. The small Greek salad was the best thing we had to eat. Second, the facility, I went inside but decided to eat outside for two reasons, first it was nice out, second, the benches looked old and worn. I did not sit in them so they may be fine, but they certainly looked worn. Once outside, I had to ask for the cigarette ash trays to be moved as I could smell old cigarette butts. There were at least 6 dirty ashtrays sitting in the outdoor area and they stunk. About half the patio is set, the over half the outside area is used as storage for tables that seemed to have no tops, and chairs that are not being used. Third, the server did a great job taking our order, keeping our water glasses full and serving us food.
I was very disappointed, I was told by a friend this place was really good. I read reviews on this site that would say the same. Maybe I caught them at a bad time or a bad day.
I do no like to write bad reviews, but in this case, with all the great things said about this place, I wanted to bring another view to the opinions.
I would tell the owners they should pay attention to details, because it certainly feels to me that this place has gone DOWN HILL!

This has been the best meal by far while on vacation. They actually close at 10:00 pm but this website said midnight. We arrived at 9:30 and they were so gracious. They didn’t rush us, made sure our food was prepared like we wanted it and gave us a free Greek drink. The owners here are amazing people and the food was outstanding. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone!

What a great little hidden find! Never would have found or tried this place had we not been staying at a nearby hotel. So listen all you Denver peeps, make a point to visit. It’s a pretty new building with nice contemporary décor, but otherwise feels very old school. The 2 brothers will chat you up about their cars & everything else. The walls are decorated with art prints of olive tress & photos of famous greeks. The food was excellent. We had grilled octopus, spanakopita & the lamb chops. The owner recommended the lamb chops & they didn’t disappoint. Not the miniscule little lollipop chops but nice sized, with a savory spice & herb rub, very moist. The spanakopita was fresh out of the oven. Baklava was also excellent, very moist & cinnamony.

I came here to eat, but upon entering the restaurant the place reeks of cigarette smoke. There is no smoking indoors in Colorado, so this really surprised me. The owners were smoking outside when I pulled up, so perhaps they smoke inside when the restaurant is closed. I did not end up eating here as the smell bothered me too much and there was not much on the menu. Disappointing.

I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant! The owners treat you as family, the food is amazing, and you feel welcomed.
I initially went to Greek To Me on a limb, as I love Greek food and was staying at the hotel across the street. I ordered the spicy hummus, gyro, and at the end, baklava. Oh man, was I thoroughly stuffed and happy! Food is in no way greasy and is a far cry from fast food. I have made it a point to visit as much as I can in town.
I cannot say it enough, thank you for the hospitality and care everyone at this restaurant puts into their work. When you’re on the road as much as I am, it’s greatly appreciated when you can shake hands at the end of the meal and feel like you just had dinner with family.

Ótimo atendimento, rápido e gentil, a comida é muito saborosa e ainda colocaram MPB para nos sentirmos mais em casa!!!
Excellent service, fast and kind, the food is delicious and they played Brazilian Music to make us feel at home.

They will not honor the 10% check in offer. Smoke wafting into the dining room from the owner and his wife smoking feet from the door wasn’t appetizing either.
$ 11.50 for a gyros salad that had a small portion of meat wasn’t a value.
Then I was barked at for the remainder of the visit about the politics of Unilocal despite my lack of interest and desire to pay my bill and leave.

I’ve taken out here a couple of times and although I think their gyros are good they just aren’t great. I also find them a little bit salty, at least the last one that I had. Admittedly, I have pretty high standards for Greek but I really wished this would be a great lunch option for me but it just fell short for me.

I was so pleased to find good Greek food south of Denver. It’s a little hard to find but a nice casual atmosphere inside. The owner has been there both times I dropped in and was incredibly friendly.
I haven’t had a chance to try their entrees yet, but I judge a Greek restaurant by the Dolmades and hummus. Both are fantastic! I’m looking forward to bringing my husband back for dinner.

This place wasn’t bad. I just would rather spend my money for lunch elsewhere. I came here for a craving for a gyro. I ordered the gyro plate and a piece of baklava.
The gyro plate comes with a soup or salad. I elected to go with a salad. The greens were overdressed and some of the greens were very dark as if the greens were tossed earlier and not to order.
The gyro meat itself was good. It’s what you’d expect a gyro to be: slices of spiced tender lamb meat served with a pita and creamy tzatziki sauce.
The baklava was very rich. It was my first time having baklava so I had nothing to compare it with. It seemed to have a lot of honey on it but it was good.

They are authentic Greek — Greek owner and staff as well. The menu was all Greek foods, and they play Greek music.
Because of the location, I figured this was going to be a chill restaurant to go to with my friend, but it was this actual bar atmosphere. I thought it was going to be a normal restaurant, but it had stone drunk loud people and they had really strict rules about drinking (we weren’t even drinking alcohol, nor did we plan to). I didn’t expect that. Other than that, the place was okay. Due to the loud Greek music, I don’t know if it would be a good restaurant for a first date with someone.

Exceptional service. The owner is gracious and made me feel so welcome.
This place has at least two highchairs, Good spot for a mommy meetup.
We enjoyed the pretty patio furniture and private seating area. See picture.
The lunch special includes a small Greek salad for around $ 10. I enjoyed the gyro sandwich. The french fries are fresh and have bits of chopped sage on them. I especially enjoyed the Tsasaki sauce and moist, aromatic Baklava.
