Aegean Restaurant

App:AEGEAN HOUSE PLATTER 7.5/10 - spinach pie and falafel I took part in and both were fantastic.Meal: Pasticio with rice pilaf 9/10 - boy oh boy...not often do I take a first bite and have to reflect and slow down and truly enjoy the moment of indulging in Flavortown, usa than like this Pasticio. The macaroni/beef/béchamel sauce combo is unbelievable, and I will definitely be ordering this again in the future. My family loved their meals also, and will have to eventually try some of the rest of the menu in the future too.

I'm Greek. I love all things Greece and Greek- except the Aegean Restaurant. Service was terrible. The waiter was unable to talk about any of the dishes on the menu. He was a kid, so let's give that a pass. My companion got her salad and it was soupy because it was so drenched in oil and completely overdressed. She politely asked the manager to take it back. The acting manager came over and it was so rude. Sooooo rude. Where is the Greek hospitality? Missing apparently, because I didn't see any Greeks working there. That should have been a big red flag. Our food came out and her garlic broccoli was ice cold and she asked for her lamb to be rare but it was well done. My Moussaka was completely inedible. I paid for my meal and literally took one bite. When I told the waiter it was inedible he said okay and brought the bill.I have never had an experience like this. It was bizarre. The Greeks are known for wonderful food and even better hospitality- the Aegean did not deliver either. I will never, ever return.

Incredibly disappointed in this new location. Was initially excited to hear about the new opening as I had been to both locations in Watertown and FraminghamThe positives: The restaurant is beautiful, decorated tastefully, love the projector and pictures of greece. Unfortunately that is where it ends.The negatives: Went to dinner last week. I don't eat carbs and I wanted the lamb. I asked if I could swap out the potatoes /rice for a their small side salad. They said no.They said I could pay extra and order the side salad so that is what I did, so what do they do, they bring me the lamb with no sides that it comes with and the side salad. I also ordered a side of broccoli. ( it was tasteless, unimpressive ) Pictures: Broccoli and the 1 lamb skewer, the piece of broccoli was from my paid add on side dish. Seriously you charge full price for 1 skewer and no side when you wont make a tiny substitution?I paid $34 for 1 skewer of lamb, a few tiny florets of broccoli and a tiny tiny side salad. I asked for the dressing on the side. They added the dressing. I sent it back. And the didn't take it off the bill.The server was not willing to help when we asked about the substitutions and then then we asked to speak to the manager. She came over and was so rude. We paid our bill and left, Didn't eat the food and will NEVER come back. Too bad, bc we LOVE Greek food, it is our go to kind of restaurant. Do yourself a favor and go to the Farm Grille or Demos!

I have been in the Aegean Restaurants, Watertown, Framingham and over the many years have seen the quality go down. I am GREEK. I am 70.Then they closed...both.....Actually had many funeral lunches at the Watertown location over the years at the request of the deceased..Went to the Aegean on Moody St. tonight.Saganaki was store bought breaded, not real!Had the orzo lamb dish... took out all the lamb and it did not fill a soup spoon, and orzo was not made in the oil of the lamb, in the oven.Lamb Kabob was dry lamb meat with no taste said a friend.Potato's that came with dishes white and no taste.Meatball gross said another friend.Prices were great but selling food that is not Greek quality will not keep your doors open. This Greek will not be back. This Greek will go to Needham St.I am really sad to report this review to the public but make believe Greek quality food is upsetting to me. Paying $200.00 for 4 tonight wasted.You would think that if the servers saw the side rice not touched, the appetizers barely eaten and dinners 1/2 full, the meatball with a little piece gone you would ask why, but no one approached.PLUS asking for no t-go box red flagged it all. Waiter talked softly and never came by the table during the App, or the meal.Used to be able to blame it on COVID.....but we are back to reality now.Yasoo my friends.C.

I came to Aegean after rave reviews from a friend, but was sorely disappointed. I'll preface this by saying I love Greek food, but this was not it. It started off well -- the bread and cheese they put on the table was phenomenal, but it stopped there. The appetizers were lacking (the hummus was exceptionally salty and grainy, the tzatziki lacked flavor, and the quantity in the platter was disappointing). The beef kabob was the texture of a rock (after ordering medium rare) and was extremely salty. After sending it back, the kitchen delivered it blue (more than rare). The lamb youvetsi was okay, but the orzo was very soft. The other dishes we ordered were not notable. All in all, if you want mediocre Greek food, consider it.

Don't get tricked by the pretty interior design. The food is awful and overpriced, and the service is subpar. I wanted to give this place a chance, because of other good reviews, but there's a reason it was near empty on a Friday night.I ordered the Aegean Combo and wish I just had the bread and left. The food tasted like second-day leftovers that were microwaved on high. None of it was at the right temperature-- the spinach pie was still cold on the inside, and the sausage was lukewarm. The cabbage was somehow soggy and oily at the same time, and the grape leaves tasted like they were the canned ones from the grocery store.Skip this restaurant and go somewhere else.

The Aegean Restaurant is back, opening on Moody Street in Waltham. I've missed dining at the Aegean Restaurant for Greek food since they closed in Framingham back in 2020. They also had another Aegean Restaurant in Watertown which closed around 2016.The bar and dining space is in the same bright room with seating up at the bar and table seating. There are flatscreen TVs at the bar and a projection of scenes of Greece on the back wall.I had dinner here on a recent Tuesday night when they opened for business. I sat myself up at the bar for prompt service. The bartender greeted me and set up a placemat menu and wrapped silverware in cloth napkin. I was brought over a basket of loaf bread & pita bread with a bowl of olive oil, herbs, & crumbled Feta cheese for dipping (very good and filling). I ordered my favorite Aegean Sampler ($19 plus tax) and added a Side Salad ($4 plus tax *$3 on the printed menu?) (iceberg lettuce, red onions, Greek olives, feta cheese, & dressing), decent.The Aegean Sampler was very good. It was a tasty platter of Mousaka , Pastichio, 2 Stuffed Grape Leaves with lemon sauce, Greek sausage, & Spinach Pie with a side of Rice with Sauce. I finished my dinner and the bread and pita. I passed on dessert since I had a Zoom meeting to attend and the place became very busy with more customers arriving to check out Aegean once again.The service here was good and prompt. My ice water glass was refilled by the bartender. It seems like they have former staff and new staff here and they are still getting back in the groove. I am so glad Aegean is back, but in a new location.

Horrible experience all around. No substitutions for starches. Asked for broccoli which was listed on the menu but they were "out." Air conditioning was spotty. Swordfish was paper thin and dried out. This is not the Aegean we knew from Watertown.

It took an hour and a half for us to get our food, once we did get our food it was cold and unappetizing. I tried to bring this up to the manager, and she tried to get one of the waitresses to talk to me so she didn't have to. Honestly probably the worst dining experience I've ever had. None of us ate our food. We asked for bread they had none, it took an hour even for our drinks to come. Service was awful.

What a disappointment! I loved the "old Aegean". I ordered the vegetable kebab for $17. It is literally one kebab. A couple of tomato slices, 1/2 of one mushroom, 2 onion slices and 3 broccoli florets. I also ordered a horiatiki salad for $18. This is the picture. Ridiculously over priced.
