The Greek Place

Great, healthy authentic Greek food in the heart of Bal Harbor.

Excellent, affordable, fresh, authentic Greek eats in a great location! Seriously, I’m impressed. They had some of the best hummus I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot. The salads are crispy, simple, and the salmon I topped mind with did not disappoint! The kebabs are great as well and I may have had an entire bowl of tzatziki to myself. Oops. The star of our meal was dessert, the galaktoboureko, a custard pie. Amazing.
The service is good too. Our waitress was really friendly and food came out relatively quickly. The ambience, though super-​casual, is really nice since the restaurant is located in a beautiful location. Sit outside, people-​watch, and nosh on some really good grub.

I get takeout from here very often and its always great. I usually get the Mykonos salad or the grilled chicken platter. i always get a side of tzatziki, its amazing.
The also have the best hummus I’ve ever tried!
Service is a little rude, thats why i didn’t give them 5 stars.

Their so-​called extra virgin olive oil is not what they say it is. They are feeding you corn oil/​vegetable oil!!! Dont clog your arteries with their substitutions. Stay away. !!
Food takes years to be delivered so don’t even bother calling. Also, they only have basic greek meals, nothing like how its made in the country. No moussaka, no pistacchio nothing authentic.
There vegetables are never washed and their kitchen is filthy. Do not eat here!!!

I really want to give this place a higher rating, but the service is just horrible. Every single time I have ordered a salad from there, they don’t have half the ingredients. Yet, they still want to charge the full amount. As stated in many other reviews, their online menus don’t match up. You think your salad is $ 13 then it ends up being $ 18…and for what? They’re out of avocado, cheese, eggs almost everyday. When I mention «you guys are always out of your ingredients». They reply, «yeah I know». They are right across from Publix… send someone to buy these ingredients. Also, I have waited literally, 2 hours for my lunch to be delivered. It is just ridiculous.

One of S Florida’s gems. Family run greek joint in the lungs of Surfside. I’ve never had a bad meal in my years of eating here.

I really want to love this place, the owner is so gracious and friendly. I’ve been here 3 – 4 times now every time I’m in Miami as my family love the place.
It’s a lovely little neighborhood Greek bistro. Unfortunately the food and lack of ambiance does not come up to par.
The warm pita is good but hummus is tasteless and tsatziki is mediocre. The Greek salad is ok but the chicken kebab was also tasteless and I had to send back as it was really undercooked. I sustituted for a lamb gyro which was ok at best.

A neighborhood favorite! This place has yummy tzatziki complete w warm pita pieces, amazing souvlaki, and a tasty house rose! In addition to consistently great food (at a great price, I might add), the staff is super attentive & always has a smile! Will continue to frequent on a regular basis!

I’ve come here for lunch and dinner and it’s always been great! The food is well-​seasoned and tasty. I got take out from here and even that was great!
Chicken kebabs, souvlaki and pita were all great. The hummus and tzatziki taste exactly what it should taste like, no fillers!
4 stars instead of 5 because I wish they had more options on the menu

Solid, high quality, and reasonably priced casual Greek spot not far from Bal Harbour shops. Excellent pita sandwiches and souvlakis.

I’ve come here a few times now and have been satisfied every single time! I’ve tried just about all their salads and love all of them. Today I had the chicken pita with Greek fries. SO good and such a good amount! Plus I was surprised with a little chocolate custard type treat they put in the bag. Totally satisfied my sweet tooth without feeling guilty … Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because their minimum and delivery fee are a bit steep. Definitely didn’t keep me from driving over to pick the food up!

Ordered a village salad with grilled chicken. They first forgot to add the chicken. Then when it finally came out I had to request for pita bread to be added which took another moon cycle to come out.
All in all paid $ 14 for a small (like a hobbit sized small) lukewarm salad. Not coming back here again.

Delicious authentic Greek food from an authentic Greek family… Absolutely love the Gyro and Greek fries… The options may be limited but it’s all very good and I’ve been coming to this place from when it was a little hole in the wall 15 years ago to the cute restaurant it is today.

I was here back in February and I really enjoyed the food and service. We ate outside and had the nicest waitress. I had the gyro combo platter. The chicken was so yummy! The portions were perfect!
It was a nice dinner after hours at the beach.

I love this place. Great gyros. Fresh salad. Home made salad dressing.
Closes early in evening.

Delicious, authentic Greek food! Love their garlicky tsatziki and warm pita bread, as well as their delicious horiatiki salad and savory souvlaki. Great, friendly service and atmospheric outdoor seating make this a wonderful addition to the Surfside neighborhood. Highly recommended.

I’m giving them a low rating not based on the quality of the food, The food is solid, but based on the poor service. Please note if you order carry out from this place, their menu on Unilocal is incorrect. Most of the dish descriptions are not at all as they appear so don’t use the Unilocal menu. If you do carry out you won’t know this until you get home and find your salad has no chicken and you will be mighty angry. After this happened to me I called them within 5 minutes of leaving and they didn’t answer the phone for a good 20 minutes. Not my idea of good customer service. If they are reading these reviews, please update your menu on Unilocal so you don’t have to keep telling angry customers its incorrect.

Excellent food. This place is a nice gem in the Surfside area which, unfortunately, doesn’t have too many good food choices.
It’s a small almost hole-​in-​the-​wall place, but that’s what gives it its authenticity. I’ve been here a few times and have always seen the owner here, cooking in the back. To start, the variety dip is fantastic. The hummus is also a great choice because the pita is perfect — fresh, warm, and excellent texture. For my meal, I’ve always had chicken pita because I pretty much don’t eat anything else. It’s pretty darn good. Freshly grilled chicken wrapped in that awesome pita I already mentioned. Greek fries are the bomb! Perfectly crispy, warm fries topped with feta cheese — this is my favorite part of coming here.
Just make sure your server really grasps your order; ours didn’t write it down and all of our orders were wrong in some way or the other. It’s okay though. It was still good.

Nice having a neighborhood Greek eatery in Surfside, but skimpy amount of meat on the gyro combo platter and really dry chicken.
Same with vegetable platter… meager serving.
Take lessons from Maria’s on Coral Way.

Deelicious! Everything I ordered for my family was amazing. Even the salad dressing was great, there is no bottled Greek dressing laden with MSG. It was fresh, simple, delicious! The tzatziki is fabulous as well, my kids gobbled it up. All the food was perfect. Fresh wonderful ingredients. We loved it so much I am back again today to get more take out to bring home for dinner!
