    I'd give this place 1000 stars if I could. The Spanakopites was light, flaky, perfectly filled, and served with two sauces. The gyro sandwich comes with a light salad, perfect for cleansing the palate and then the gyro is filled with tender lamb and eggplant. You can't improve on perfection. To cap the evening off, the dessert is beyond compare. Perfectly light mousse, a creamy cheesecake, and a baklava provide a sweet ending to the meal. I will be back over and over again.

    This was our first time here, but we will definitely be back. Everything about this place was fantastic. It felt welcoming and romantic at the same time. The service was better than anywhere I have ever been. And the food....WOW! Can't wait to come back!

    My grandparents always took me here when I was a kid. They were returning guests for 15+ years. My grandpa adored the owner; George and his amazing hardworking family. I now take my children here for a delicious authentic Greek dinner as my grandparents once did for me. It's become family tradition. BEST Greek food hands down!

    What a great experience here! The owners and son are extremely friendly and go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect for you. The food was fresh and delicious! We ordered the dolmades and the gyro platter. Both were excellent! Definitely coming back when we are in town again!!

    Five stars for everything and it should be 20. This is about the total package: service, atmosphere, quality and experience. The family invites you to enjoy their culture, their excitement for celebration and food, and tradition rooted in ancient Greek life. I felt like I was dreaming, it was a special night. It was my sons 18th and we made the right choice, I love this place! Everything on the menu was unique and 5 star quality. The calamari was the best I've ever had, TENDER and in a butter garlic glaze you'll never forget. The cheese cake served with chocolate mouse pillows on the side was off the hook. If you are looking to make memories, this is the place to do it.

    This was a wonderful find. Family owned restaurant that is still run by the family. Husband, wife and sons. Recipes handed down from the family. And the loveliest people. The food is scrumptious! The stuffed mushrooms won my heart. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the calamari and his shrimp dish. I couldn’t believe how flavorful a Greek salad could be- with a Greek depressing twist. And the portions are plentiful. How many places do you know that they welcome you to their family? And GIVE you a shot of Ouzo? That was an unexpected gift from GreekTown. I will definitely eat here again when we return to AZ! Thank you GreekTown for your hospitality and amazing food and warmth!

    Truly one of the best family-owned restaurants I've ever dined at. The owner has an infectious passion for what he does and treats you like family even as you walk in for the very first time. The food is divine and cooked with love. Can't say enough.

    Delicious! Eat here. I went with their recommendations. Calamari starter was some of the best I've ever had. I was torn between a special they had and a shrimp dish and they offered to give me some of each. This is legit Greek food, not the generic diner fare you might find everywhere else. Super friendly family run joint. If I lived here I'd go back often.

    Amazing place, great atmosphere and AMAZING food, the staff is also very helpful and they take a lot of pride in helping and serving you, family owned and operated, the dad is super nice and so are the kids, they make you feel like family, their Filo is fresh and buttery and their White cheesecake with blakava and mouse was the perfect way to end the evening.

    What an amazing place. I came in to phonix for a few days and decided to stop here on a whim, and immediately felt like I was walking into a family member's house for dinner. Our server Dimitri, and his father were so friendly and full of life and carried a conversation like we had known each other for years. The lamb was hands down the best lamb dish I have ever had. I literally shook the chef(and wife)'s hand to thank her for such a great meal. If I'm ever in the phoenix area again, this is the first place I'm coming to eat. 11/10

    Love this place...I live out of state, and I still crave the calamari. It is delightful. The food was even better than the last time I ate here. The family that runs the restaurant is cooking and serving their food. You can taste the love in each bite!

    Awesome family-owned and operated restaurant. As a gluten- and dairy-free person, dining out can be hard. But this place was able to accommodate, and chef mom made me the most delicious chicken I can remember. Loaded with lemon, just the way I like it! And literally everyone in the place was so friendly and down-to-earth. It's our new favorite date night spot!

    I wish I could give this place 50 stars. I have been coming here for years and I have never had a bad dish or bad experience. They make you feel like you are in their kitchen back in Greece and treat you like you are long lost family. If this sounds crazy to you then maybe you won't understand. The ambience is fantastic and the staff treats you like you are one of them. And I haven't even reviewed the food yet. Oh man just so good. The lemon rice soup that comes as an appetizer is so frikn good. I have tried to duplicate the recipe and it ain't happening. Do yourself a favor and eat here. You will have a new favorite place to eat and maybe make a few friends along the way

    Oh my goodness!! What a gem! Outside is under renovation, but do not let that stop you! Inside is quiet and charming, and, you are welcomed like family (by the family who runs this place). Two of us ordered three appetizers (couldn’t decide amongst all the delicious options)-the stuffed mushrooms and calamari are insane!!! The best I’ve ever had. The sauce with the calamari-wow!! For entrees, you’re able to do half and half of two different options, and, we each did this, allowing us to sample two ‘secret specials’ and two menu items. All were fantastic! The flavor in this food is beyond. Dessert was delectable! If you haven’t tried it-do not hesitate!

    By far one of the friendliest restaurants I have ever been in. The atmosphere will not be surpassed by any other. Being only familiar with the occasional gyro, I was expecting to be wowed based on all the reviews. Maybe I need a lesson on how to enjoy the cuisine. It was just OK. Will try again and see what the fuss is all about. The server, being very friendly , was overwhelmed with all the tables he was covering.

    This place has been here forever. Currently only open for dinner I believe. The owner is fabulous! Just a great great guy and always makes you feel welcome. His son is also very nice. Service is top level. Food can be hit or miss. But mostly a hit. The fried cheese is transcendent.

    Let us start with the owner George. By far the best host we have encountered. Period!!! Now the food - we ordered the calamari, twice!!! We then had shrimp with crabmeat, the grilled skewers and pasta with shrimp - Sensational!!! We ended the experience by tasting their Greek wine, coffee and dessert. Delicious!!! We have eaten at the best restaurants in the world and Greektown rates right along with them. Kudos!!!

    1/5/24: Fantastic service and food. You can't go wrong here with the owner and his sons doing a perfect job at entertaining the valley with quality service. I can't recommend any place better.

    This is more than just a restaurant, it's a unique experience where every night and everything is a celebration. I love that this place is family owned and operated. This family is very close with each other and supports each other's success and it's beautiful. But not only that, everyone who enters is treated like family. And the food is amazing you will never get this quality of food or these types of dishes anywhere else. This place might be under construction on the outside but it's nothing but entertainment and great food on the inside. You feel like you have walked into another country when you enter this place and you feel like you have entered into another time zone. It feels like the times when things were a lot better and there were no worries or cares.
