Ive not ordered from Greekfest before but like supporting local restaurants and was craving Greek food. I ordered the Kalamata olives, Hummus, Gyro Taverna, Tyropites and Baklava. The portions were generous but nearly the entire order had an off, sour taste. The Kalamata olives were mostly crushed, nearly pureed olives and tasted odd to me. I assumed it was some unusual brine.I moved on to the Tyropites. 4 crispy pieces, still hot but sour and, in my mind in edible. Even the cheese loving dog turned his nose up at it. I took 2 bites and tossed it.The Gyro Taverna was a generous portion but not as advertised. No cucumbers, tomatoes or red onions. It was drowned in Tsatziki sauce. This was edible, once I scrapped off the majority of sauce but certainly not worth the nearly $60 I paid for the entire order.Hummus - again odd sour taste. At this point, I am not sure I am not eating spoiled food or a chemical cleanser. All of these items had the same weird taste despite different ingredients, which makes me suspect contamination.The Baklava was good. Not great but syrupy and crispy at the same time. It was however overpriced for the small, two bite, piece.I will praise the pita. Warm, and soft. I would recommend not cutting it into pieces as they present it, because it would have been nice to roll the gyro meat into it,Seeing others recently have made similar comments I suspect something is wrong. These are tough times and I admire local businesses toughing it out, so understand smaller portions, higher prices but something is seriously wrong with the flavors,

THE WORST FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD. NOT TO MENTION THEY THEY SHAMED GREEK FOOD. I very rarely give twist bad of a review. The few that gave good reviews sorry they can eat out of a garbage. A single piece of musaka look at pick 18 dollars no salad rice soup it was burnt, over cooked with bread crumbs. Musaka does not have bread crumbs. Much less burnt ones. The hummus un edible its course stiff no flavor its the ball you see in the box when have you ever seen brown hummas griny taste like raw falafell. They missed the eggplant on my antipasta plate oh yes the order doesnt come with pita it is extra. This place is a joke. Do not even try it plus they are rude.

I am a little late in posting my review and opinion on this fabulous restaurant.I celebrated a birthday there about 2 years ago and found the food amazing. I had Salmon Chios. it was done to perfection.But the most important thing I have to say about this place is the service. I couldn't ask for better. Maybe it could be that we were the only people who were there at that time. But the waiter was at our beck and call at all times. The decor is fabulous and makes you feel like you are actually in Greece. The only thing lacking is a happy hour. The waiter said that the owners did not want to open for happy hour and only for lunch and then closed until dinner.I need to make another visit there to see if it is still the same.

Sorry, this was the worst Greek we've ever had. The Hummus was sour, the Gyro meat was dry, the Taziki was crappy, and the rice was horrible.How do you screw up Greek food???

To put this review in perspective, I am only reviewing the dessert and coffee. I did not have food so cannot speak on that behalf. Also, the service was very pleasant and timely. However, I cannot get over the quality of the dessert (baklava) or the coffee. The dessert was 7 dollars and it was served cold. I'm not sure if the dessert is made in house or store-bought, for 7 dollars I would expect the dish to be served warmed and fresh. It tasted as though it was bought from safeway, cut in half, and served on a plate. The coffee - priced at 3.50 was okay. Coffee should be 2 dollars or less in my book given the size and plainness. Overall, do not order the baklava.

My wife and I were in Phoenix for just two days and looked online for restaurants near the hotel we were at in the Biltmore area. When we saw GreekFest, we were intrigued and decided to try it. Oh my! This was by far the best Greek restaurant we've ever enjoyed! The food was spectacular and the setting amazing. Felt like we were transported to a fine Greek village! But perhaps the best surprise was the warm hospitality and the story behind this family restaurant. We LOVED everything about it and will tell all our Phoenix friends to try it. Amazing experience! Go there!

Ambience looks like a true Greek Taverna. That's the good news. The bad news is the food is so not Greek, it's pathetic. We all ordered chicken souvlaki. Waiter, in an 80% empty restaurant, comments that he hopes they have enough for all of us. Owner comes by and tells us about lemon chicken instead. I cave, and say sure, I'll have that instead. Souvlaki is NOT souvlaki. Chicken cut up in strips with a nondescript sauce. Served with eggplant (really? No Greek green beans?) and what appears to be wild rice. My "lemon" chicken is rolled chicken breast with seasoning inside and accompanied with what tastes and looks like apricot sauce. Believe me... there is NO taste or hint of lemon in this dish. Once again served with what looks like wild rice. The four of us also split a Greek salad... which tasted beyond funky and saganaki... which tasted fine but was a thin piece of cheese, not thick like it should be. We had great expectations for this restaurant, but our futile attempt to find a REAL Greek restaurant in Phoenix continues. This is NOT food yiayia would make. We won't be back.

Not too sure what to think about this place the Greek restaurant trying to be fine dining maybe 20 years ago it was but today standards not really the prices are not too bad until you get them the portion sizes are super small so it's and you really paying double the price because of this start off with the hummus very small portion literally it's like 3 tablespoons and two pieces of bread we have to order more bread and whatever they charge you the flavor was pretty plain who didn't have their pomegranate sauce on it it would have been really Bland I got some lamb dish can't remember the name of it but basically was lamb rice and tomato sauce pretty small Ramekin that was okay I like the lamb it wasn't too gamey the rice with it was cooked perfectly but not a whole lot of flavored and flavors what you expect from Greek food or any foods in the Middle East lots of spices in oil always fantastic but they missed it here maybe they're trying me to Americanized not sure so after hummus and the lamb dish I was still hungry was going to get a dessert baklava until they told me that $6 price for one triangle so it half a piece of baklava one bite I guess not server is pretty cool though laid back met some good recommendations few things you told me not to get but overall it was okay may try it again in the future not sure yet

Really nice staff with a real Greek presence inside this restaurant. Something charming about the way this older restaurant is setup inside with it's old fashion decor. I was not a huge fan of the food at this place. The portions are a little small for the price. I really liked how nice everyone was who worked here though! I am sad that I most likely will not give this place a second chance. I wish them the best though because I've heard they've been around for a long time. Best of luck GreekFest.
