Evia Greek

Customer service pushed my 4 star to a 5 star. I have been wanting to try this restaurant since it opened. Shame on me for missing out on this great food. The menu is a QR code. Two types of stuffed grape leaves, falafel (spicy), spanakopita, salads, shrimp gyros, and French fries oh my ... I will have food for days. They can also help with your holiday cooking. It is a small establishment. It seats ~20 people.Found street parking easily.

I was so excited to try this place. I wasn't happy with my order so I sent an email to Evia. They never replied which is disappointing. Below is what I wrote in my email. "Hello! I have been very eager to try your place. We got a grub hub last night. The grape leaves were delicious. I thought I ordered the meatless app then a dinner with the meat. Maybe I didn't read that correctly? Do you make meatless ones? Everything else was very good except for the Evia Bowl and we were missing a side salad. The flavor was fine. It was the lack of tomatoes and cucumbers. I have a photo attached of the only sliver of tomato that was in the salad. There were only 2 pieces of cucumber as well. We order from Alladin's a few times a month. Id prefer to give business to a true local one. I wanted to reach out directly to tel you. I'm really bummed as that bowl would be something I'd order often if I knew it came with a lot of ingredients. The description makes it sound like it does. Thanks very much."The fact that the bowl had a sliver of tomato and 2 pieces of cucumber is unacceptable. I have the sliver of the photo attached. We won't be ordering from Evia ever again. Alladin's and the Mediterranean Grill are much better options.

Evia Greek is a local family-owned restaurant. Its menu lists salads, soup, sandwiches, entrees, sides, desserts, and beverages. Please see my attached photos for the menu in July 2024. The restaurant has a small dining room and also offers takeout and delivery. I have been a costumer of Evia three times--twice for delivery and once for dining in. The employees promptly and correctly cooked my foods. For dining in, two employees spoke nicely to my husband and me, but we overheard how they talked to each other and to a delivery driver.Here are my ratings for the foods and beverages:Greek salad - 5 stars - This salad was a good size. I enjoyed the flavors of the feta cheese, kalamata olives, red peppers, red onions, tomatoes, pepperoncini, and Greek dressing.Hummus and pita - 4.5 stars - I thought that this hummus tasted good but a little sour. The pita was fresh and warm, and it tasted very good.Greek grilled-cheese sandwich - 5 stars - The sourdough bread was perfectly buttered and toasted, and I liked the melted Greek Kasseri cheese.Lamb-beef gyro - 4.5 stars - My husband ate this gyro. It contained both lamb and beef, which is the meat that he likes, as well as vegetables and tzatziki sauce. Pastitsio - 4 stars - This pasta contained ground beef, herbs, and bechamel sauce. Spanakopita - 4.5 stars - Phyllo dough was layered with spinach, feta, and herbs. Moussaka - 4.5 stars - This casserole contained ground beef, eggplant, zucchini, herbs, and bechamel sauce. Lamb souvlaki - 4.5 stars - Large, juice, and flavorful chunks of lamb were on a skewer. Sides included rice pilaf and grilled pita.Greek fries - 5 stars - These fries were a large serving size, and they were topped with feta and oregano.Greek lemon potatoes - 4 stars - The potatoes were cut into large wedges and tasted lemony.Baklava - 4.5 stars - I really enjoyed the phyllo dough, walnuts, and honey.Galaktoboureko - 4.5 stars - The phyllo dough, custard, and honey were very fresh.Melomakarona - 4.5 stars - These cookies contained walnuts and honey, and I liked them very much.Kourambiethes - 5 stars - These butter cookies were covered in powdered sugar and tasted very sweet. They were my favorite cookies.Orange soda - 5 stars - This soda came from Greece and tasted very orangey.Sour-cherry soda - 5 stars - This soda was also from Greece and tasty exactly like I would expect for sour cherry.

Evia was recommended by the Pittsburgh Foodies Group. Since I was in the area last evening, I decided to give it a go. I grew up in Jersey, & terribly miss the Green-owned diners with Greek menu options. I have a lot of Greek friends, been to Greece a few times, been to countless Greek fairs, & weddings, and so I feel like I am a good judge of Greek food. I was soooo excited to try Evia. Drumroll please - I'd say that the food was mediocre at best. I think it's probably as good as I'm going to get from PGH. I hate giving 3 stars since I love to support local restaurants but that's what I felt it deserved. I had the "Cretan Salad" which basically a the same thing as a Greek salad with big chunks of bread, a Gyro, & a serving of pastitsio. The pastitsio has a very thin layer of the Béchamel sauce, & the meat layer was minimal. The gyro wasn't anything to ride home about. I can't tell you how much I was excited about the Galaktoboureko but there was literally no custard! So all in all, I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to Evia if you're looking for authentic Greek cuisine; if you want to satisfy a craving, or too lazy to cook and live in the area, this is a nice local option. I wouldn't recommend eating in; it's a small setting, kind of like a pizza joint. The tense cashier & staff appeared to be very stressed, and since it was an open setting, I witnessed the behind-the-scenes bossing around of the staff.

We live pretty close to here, and it's nice to live right by one of the best Greek places around! Casual takeout spot with a couple tables inside. The pork yeero meat is always juicy! Order it in a yeero with fries and the spicy onions, or put it on a salad! The fries from here are perfectly seasoned. Everything's fresh. Whenever I order, it's ready in about 10 min to pick up, and I've never had to wait.

Heard about this awesome Greek place from a friend. Let me just say their Greek fries are out of this world. Hand cut with skin left on, with greek seasoning, feta crumbles and 2 dipping sauces, you can easily share these amongst 2 people.Let me just say, i have tried hand cut fries in my 30 years of eating, these were exceptional. The freshness, seasoning and feta with the dips, awesome.The pork yeero, lamb yeero and vegetarian wrap were also a big hit. Fresh taste and good portion size. The people working here enjoy what they do and crank out high quality food. You have to try for yourself.Great addition to the Bellevue neighborhood for sure.

Prices are confusing- sandwiches don't come with fries. We got Greek fries- they were good but not worth $9 without meat on them. Quality is there but you're spending more than you would at other places for a gyro and fries

The Gyro is mainly salad with a splash of meat plus everything else was stale and ice cold.

Amazingly flavorful food--very fresh ingredients cooked and/or prepared to perfection. It was the first time my husband & I ate at Evia Greek. Excellent, friendly service. The owner should be proud of his staff. The small space is used well with a clean, bright, crisp and cheerful color palette. Photos of Greece added quaint interest. We'll most definitely be back, even though we're more than an hour away.

We had lovely gyros here this week. One wax traditional lamb and the other pork shoulder. Portions were nice size & a plus that a BYOB. Parking easy w a lot next door.
