| - Actually a solid 4.5 stars. I'm not Greek, so can't speak to authenticity. But the food is delicious, plentiful, and excellent value. The $12 fried calamari appetizer is the size of many restaurants' entree portion, and is tasty and not oily at all. The $6 tarama starter is easily double the amount you'd expect, and came with plenty of pita and toasted garlic bun to put it on. The two together is enough for two moderately-hungry people to enjoy.
I had the pork gyro, which is lovely shards of flavorful pork, not the processed "loaf" gyro I usually see (and, to be honest, love). Served with two sides (in my case, rice and lemon potatoes), a crisp, fresh Greek salad, and plenty of tzatziki, it was piled high for just $12.
My dinner companion had the chicken souvlaki, which was very good, but not exceptional. If you like a typical souvlaki, you'll like this. At $12, it seemed like the lowest value for the money - about a dozen inch-square cubes, plus the sides. Not a BAD value, but less impressive than the other items.
All in all, our bill, including two cans of pop and tax was about $50. That got us enough to thoroughly fill up three hungry people. I consider that a good deal for plenty of fresh-made, delicious food!
The half-star off is relative, simply because calling it "perfect" wouldn't be accurate. The tap water they provide smells like a swimming pool - the chlorine odor is startling. They were out of a few of the items we'd initially planned to order, and the server was pretty brusque about it. Small things, for sure, so take them as you will. I still recommend Greek Grill, and will definitely be going back. And probably order delivery, too.
