Effie's Kitchen

Stopped by for the first time and had the most fantastic lunch and Greek food I've had in a long time!We wanted an avogolemono soup for this cold weather we've been having (boo), but they only make it seasonally so not until Oct. So we quickly adapted our order to get a chicken souvlaki on pita, and a feta cheese pie. We added on a slice of orange cake which doesn't appear on their menu but calls you from a corner of the restaurant and you just have to answer that call!It took about 15 mins for the food to be ready but it was the afternoon rush. Overall, everything was flavorful and served hot. I've never had a chicken souvlaki that's so juicy and tasty, melt in your mouth. The toppings - fries, crunchy red onion, tomato, and tzatziki all added to the taste. That tzatziki was amazing. The feta cheese pie had a flaky crunchy covering and just the right amount of feta so that it wasn't overly salty. Thumbs up for the last min order of the cake. Sweet, moist, and fresh.Can't wait to try their avogolemono next time!

Pita: I didn't know it could be this good. It's commonly dry with a sandy residue on the hands. The way it's prepared here makes all the difference.Chicken: moist, flavorful, with the slightest char.Tzatziki: garlicky and savory Spinach pie: flavor was excellent, although oily through the wrapper. That's the nature of filloBe patient. To get everything just right takes 15 min or so.

Food is always great! We get pork gyros and spanakopita every time, as long as they haven't run out of pies!

Authentic Greek food excellently prepared. Varied lunch/dinner menu. Delicious Greek salad, souvlaki in pita, spinach pies, and even the French Fries!!!!!! Fantastic homemade tzatziki sauce.Not much seating as most people are picking up / taking out.

Effie's hits the spot for a tasty Greek lunch- the menu is focused (just the basics, please), the food is cooked fresh (so prepare to wait a bit after order- no preemptive online ordering here, seems like?), and the flavors and quality is solid and just as expected. Special shoutout to the delicious warm fluffy pita and feta-filled salad dressing, but everything else was good as well: the pork gyro that's actually cooked in the 'real' way (no pre-sliced/pre-formed meat here), the souvlaki skewers which were well-marinaded and juicy, the ginormous pieces of baklava/kataifi. Seems like a family-run spot too, folks who are friendly with the regulars and take pride in their food. Note: the avgolemono wasn't ready for the day yet when we were there (~12:30 PMish), so plan accordingly- and they're not really open for dinner, so it's more of a lunch spot.

A small Greek restaurant with just a couple of tables for seating. I came here to grab a quick dinner and decided on getting the pork souvlaki and I requested with no onions and they said that's fine. They said it would take about 10-15 minutes since they cook the meat on the grill after you order. It took about 10 minutes for the meat to cook and to assemble my pita and I was out shortly after. Overall, the souvlaki was great, except I was disappointed that they added in so many onions and didn't honor my request. The pork was cooked well, not too dry and the tomatoes, french fries, and sauce went together well. The pita was soft and was a great wrap that was able to hold everything together. I would like to go back and try some of their other wraps and baklava, so hopefully next time they'll remember to forgo the onions.

I live close to this place & went YEARS ago when they first opened and never again. Recently I decided to give them a try because the Square doesn't have many options anymore but it made me remember why I never went back. Service is not friendly. Don't expect to be greeted or even smiled at when you walk in if you're not a regular there. While I waited for my food I observed mold on many of the baklavas there..at first I thought it was pistachio but upon looking closer saw the fuzz. When it was time to pay, the owner charged me more than what the register said because I paid with a credit card. It's illegal in MA. When I politely said something I got a snarky response. The chicken gyro was edible but very dry but the pork gyro was gross. Not flavored well and had so much fat. Obviously wouldn't go there again. $26 for two small gyros that aren't good is asinine.

Some of the best Greek food I've ever had. I had a gyro, it was delicious. Lots of food and a great price. They take the time making it, but it's well worth the price. My wife had a salad with chicken that was freshly grilled. Loved Effie's

Come here for the best authentic Greek food in the area! 10/10 You can't go wrong with anything on the menu!My top picks are the village salad (with chicken), the traditional gyro, and spanakopita. Don't forget the tzatziki and anything with feta!For my sweet tooth cravings, I can't go wrong with either option: the kataifi and baklava.Don't miss out on this gem!

I love this place. Our first time here and we tried salad with souvelaki, gyro sandwich and a platter. Can't wait to go back to try all the other things on the menu. The meat is made to order, so tasty and fresh. Love the personal service, you ask what you should try and they will help you decide. Clean and efficient, mostly takeout but has 2-3 tables there.
