Greek To Me

First time to this authentic Greek restaurant. Owner, who has been doing this more than 40 years at multiple different locations, is very friendly and nice. He greeted us when we walked in and checked on us often during our meal.We both enjoyed a glass of a Greek red. Not sure the exact name, but the owner's explanation of a full-bodied red was on point. Not an inexpensive glass at $15, but the pour was good, and we easily could've had another.We started with the dolmades and spanakopita. Both were delicious. Spanakopita was large and flavorful. Dolmades had a traditional lemon sauce we've had a few times before at other Greek restaurants. Wonderful flavor.I had the Poor Boy combo, while my wife had the gyro platter. Pork souvlaki was the high point of the dish. Gyro meat and chicken were both decent. Fries were good too. Could've used more green beans, but I ended up with plenty of food. "Save room for baklava", the owner said, and he was right. I thought it was fantastic. We each got our own, but we easily could've split one between us. It had a sauce on top, so every bite was quite juicy. Note that prices from the website have been updated in the restaurant and are several dollars more expensive than what you'll see online. There isn't a wine list, so you just need to tell them what you like, and they'll tell you what they've got. With so few authentic Greek restaurants close to Castle Rock, I'm sure we'll be back at some point.

I am not sure if this authentic Greek restaurant in this hidden spot is getting enough attention from people. I truly hope so.I had a pleasant experience with the staff when I made a quick stop at this place to get me something yummy. These days, anything Mediterranean or Middle Eastern has been my go-to. The thought of grape leaves or hummus or falafels or tzatziki or baba ghanoush instantly hit me when I am hungry. When I was running a few errands in Centennial, this restaurant came up to my mind.The time was 4:55pm. Still a bit early for dinner. When I stepped in, there was no customer; it was just me. The guy at the bar immediately greeted me. He was extremely welcoming. From then on, he and another guy friendly conversed with me (one of them thoroughly walked me through the menu with a few suggestions as to what I should get etc. Their above-and-beyond-ness was exceptional.)The interior of the restaurant is mostly red. Numerous photos of some Greek figures are seen throughout on the walls. A little touch of Greek decorations entertained my eyes as well. A glass of ice water one of the guys offered me quenched my thirst while I was waiting for my food (this only took 5 minutes at the most.)"Wow, that was so quick!" is what I had to say when one of the guys handed me my food as it was super quick. Both of them, in a very meaningful way, said a genuine goodbye while I was walking out of the restaurant.What I got me today are/were:1) Hummus ($10.95)2) Gyro Platter ($20.95)They may need to redo their menus; I saw all kinds of hand-written modifications for the prices of the items. What I also suggest is they include the ingredients (for allergy purposes.) Other than that, menu is not super massive (blackhole) in any way.Now, let me rate each item:1) Hummus - is a bit price for the portion size and yet, like the guy said, it's red pepper based. And oh boy, how creamy it was. There is a good amount of olive oil in it so it's not too thick and stout. If I heard it correctly, it's his mother or sister's recipe. If they can increase the portion size, I would rate this appetizer place 10 out of 10.2) Gyro Platter - is a good portion. The French Fries (or chips I should call it in the British way) are/were freshly made and they weren't soggy. The lamb meat is/was tender with the right amount of salt. Two small containers that contained the tzatziki sauce, thinly sliced red onion and generous portion of a pita bread (cut in two pieces) are/were all harmoniously placed in the container. For this quality, I think $20.95 is a fair price.This is a good corner Greek restaurant that humbly exists. In some or many cases, those so-called "under the radar" places are the best places to dine in or get a to-go order. As private and quaint as they get, they should get more attention from people than those "over the top" big restaurants get attention from people. Thank you, Greek To Me, for existing in my close proximity. I shall return soon.

The food was superb. Place is very retro. Service was exceptional. Meal was large portion that was excellent value. Music was a mix of 60's soft rock, Sinatra, Elvis, and jazz. Best baklava in Denver. Highly recommend.

Kind of a strange place, honestly. I've been there two or three times. The first time I went, I arrived at the opening time for the restaurant, and they were not open. While I was waiting one of their employees showed up and we chatted a bit. Then finally the owners showed up, claiming that traffic had made them late. Not really apologetic, more explanatory. They had me sit outside while they opened up. Apparently I couldn't be in the restaurant while they were opening.The inside of the restaurant is a bit dark and forbidding, and could use a remodel. There are many photos of the owner and his wife, I assume, all over the walls. You can tell that they and this place have seen better days. If you read other reviews, you will see commentary about the owner and his behavior. Other than the lack of apology for the fact that they weren't open on time, I didn't deal with him, so I didn't encounter that.The young lady who waited on me each time I went there, and I'm probably not supposed to say this on Yelp, was extraordinarily beautiful and had a lovely smile. I hate to say it, but this is probably the main reason to go there, and it's not enough of a reason. She seemed very nice, and I can only hope that at some point she might get a job in a better restaurant that would allow her to shine in a way that this place does not.The food was decent. I had the Chicken Souvlaki the first time I went there and I liked it very much. The second time I had the gyro, and I can echo the comment of another yelper who felt like their meat was the outer layer that had been out in the air all day. That's what mine looked like too. Not appetizing.The baklava was good, if expensive.All In all, as I said at the beginning, it's kind of a strange place. You're probably better off going elsewhere, but if you want to give it a try, I recommend you go with the Chicken Souvlaki and see how that works out for you.

Got to Denver at 7 PM on a Thursday for a long weekend. We weren't all that hungry (Arby's @ 2 PM on the road!) but knew we needed dinner or we'd be starving at 10 PM. Also, I'm trying to reduce my meat consumption so that narrows the choices.Saw this place on Yelp and it was perfect. Excellent tzatziki - the right balance of garlic - and the gentleman was happy to bring us extra pita. My spanakopita was pretty darn good and I'm kind of picky. It was flaky and flavorful. Hubs got the gyro and salad and said the gyro was substantial, very good. We stay @ the Marriott across the street almost always when we come to Denver. We will be back! Great ambiance and service and food -- perfect after a long drive.

There's something fishy about this place. They have an order online on their website. So I'm like sweet let me order online, I had a craving. When I went to pick up my order, he said we don't take online orders. I'm like I just paid for my food it came out of my account and showed him my Apple Pay. He said we don't take Apple Pay and online orders and I have to pay again if I wanted my food. Umm fishy huh? He could easily take down the account with the online ordering app. I'm not paying twice. Weird vibes, I will not be returning.

This is a Greek restaurant owned and operated by Greeks. Food is solid and you can get a gyro sandwich without the attitude you get on Colfax. I have only been here for lunch. Price points & portions are competitive and reasonable. Steaks and dinner options appear to be on the pricey side but I have not been here for dinner. Will be back for lunch...

! , . . If you're looking for real authentic Greek this is the place! Run by a Greek family, you can't get any better than this! Don't forget to order baklava and say Yasou!

Absolutely delicious! I ordered a cup of the egg lemon soup, tzatziki, spanakopita, and a Greek salad with souvlaki. Everything was amazing and tasted so fresh. The wait staff was attentive and very welcoming. Their hospitality is fantastic.

Each year our family enjoys a wonderful meal here.. The owner is very fun and helpful , the food is excellent , everyone's meal and drinks were traditional and served on time. We are looking forward to next year
