Terra Cafe & Grille

We were looking for a kind of off-hours lunch after touring the DuPont mansion and stumbled upon this gem. Family owned, Mom and Pop, street parking. I got: -Avgolemono soup: Creamy, savory perfection. I need to learn how to make this soup exactly this way. -Dolmades: Just the right amount of briney/vinegary, rice was the perfect slightly firm texture Winner!

A popular place in town. It costs too much. Terra has some good stuff. Greek food. Way too high prices though. Has reduced hours. It seriously is only open a few hours at lunch. They're closed on every weekend. It makes it hard to get here. This seems like this should be a cheap spot for downtown workers at lunch. Instead the prices make it seem like it's for wealthy people going out for a fun night of fine dining. This is ridiculous. Everything is overpriced. There's nothing worth what they charge you. It does have good tasting stuff but it's not that good of course. The menu is mostly Greek food. Basic items you can find in most places for much cheaper. Many with better hours too. I most like the Falafel Pita. It's about $14 and comes with a side. This can come with fries or a salad among other things. It just is too expensive. Skip it. Try something that's very similar and not as much as they charge you.

Prob the best lunch spot in downtown wilmington. They have salads, sandwiches, burgers, gyros, and some daily specials. I got the black and blue burger (medium rare with grilled onions and chipotle mayo). The burger was really juicy and tender and the chipotle mayo added the perfect flavor! Same prices compared to other places downtown (11.50 give or take but comes with fries)!I got the shrimp gyro (10 bucks)- big shrimp- you won't be really full but you'll be satisfied. There's plenty of places to sit down once you get your food.

If you're looking for some Greek food, look no further. Terra has got you. They have gyros and Greek salads/ pasta salad. It seems like a family run business, which I also love. There is ample seating in the back area of the restaurant too so you can sit there and eat. It not really super crowded there so it's a nice place to relax. However, be prepared to spend some money. It seemed like the menu suggests that sides come with a sandwich/gyro order but it doesn't so you're looking at no less than $12 for a gyro and a side. I definitely recommend and I'll surely be back for lunch.

I was so excited to find this place when it opened because I adore Greek food. I crave it on a regular basis. Once I get feta on the brain it's all over! Terra Cafe is quickly becoming my go-to lunch spot. The food is always fresh and prepared in house. Staff is super friendly. I've tried the veggie sampler (yum) and a few different sandwiches, all of which were great. They use LeBus bread so the bagel and coffee option there is very good, too. As far as their sides go, the pasta salad is very good and the green beans are simply fantastic. My only issue with the place is that the prices are a tad more than I feel that I should be paying. I did see this week that they adjusted the menu a bit by making the sides optional. The average sandwich is now around $7 and you can add a side for $2 more. Makes it a little more wallet friendly.

Avgolemono soup and dolmades for the win! Can't wait to come back and have a REAL gyro - or even a shrimp gyro. Fresh veggies. SO happy to have found this place.

The food is fine but way overpriced for what you get. More than $15 for a skimpy Greek salad with a few slices of Gyro meat. Disappointing!

Had a shrimp gyro from this place today and OH-M-G!!!! AMAZING!!!! I will be back again and again- was thinking of trying the falafel next time but sheesh.... that shrimp was so fantastic I just don't know!!

This place is always on point with great food and staff. The interior is really well maintained and styled; a good place to take a break from work. Reminds me of places in NYC or elsewhere, something that rarely happens in Wilmington. Glad we tried going here and plan to keep going back.

The quality of ingredients used are quite good. The downside is they don't always season their offerings very well. While it's great to organic ingredients, it doesn't make much of a difference if you don't know what to do with it and appreciate it.The falafel is overly dry and it's also under-seasoned. Also had chili for the first time for $6.25. Definitely not worth it. A very heavy tomato flavor, far too much juice, little meat and beans. It also lacked chili seasonings. Huge disappointment.
