Greek Kouzina Pittsboro

DOUBLE CHECK YOUR ITEMS BEFORE LEAVING. I’m honestly pretty furious with my experience here. After driving 20 minutes each way to pick up my order, I got home only to find an item completely missing. When I called to sort it out, the manager not only refused to acknowledge the mistake but flat-out insisted the missing item was in the bag, implying that I was wrong or lying. It absolutely was not there. This kind of dismissive and unprofessional attitude is completely unacceptable. As far as the food. A Greek salad with ONE olive, one single slice of cucumber and a single slice of tomato is not a Greek salad. It’s honestly laughable. The tzatziki, hummus, bulgar pilaf and rice were decent. But the meat? Very tough. Didn’t seem fresh. The stuffed grape leaves. Definitely not made in house. The gyro meat I cannot speak of because it was missing. Maybe they were doing me a favor. NEVER AGAIN. Poor food. Poor management.

You know the food is good when the workers are eating the restaurant’s food during their break! The sanitation rating was 100%. Everyone was friendly and the food was incredible- fresh, delicious and made to order. Everyone in our party loved their meal.

We've eaten here many times, mostly take out. The food is always amazing. We ate at their outside tables with our dog tonight. The service was as amazing as the food!

We have eaten take out and in the restaurant many times. The service and quality are top notch. The freshness is superb and have only had minor issues the 20 times we have ordered here. If you get delivered or takeout make sure you have a way for the fries to stay warm cause they tend to get cold easily.

Small, nice and clean restaurant. They have halal lamb meat option. As a Turkish person I liked their food:) we have a lot of common food with Greek cuisine. Highly recommended.

We were greeted by Greek music as we walked through the door. On the walls were photos of columns…. The service was pleasant and food was quickly delivered to the table. I ordered gyro meal with greek side salad (photo below). Serving size was very good. I just wish the lamb had more seasoning… it was a little bland. My wife had grilled chicken gyro and really enjoyed it. But overall I would go back for another try.

Favorite rendezvous spot w/ my sister & aunt. First introduced back in 2017! Today’s lamb kebab was seasoned to perfection! Love the tzatziki sauce. Jennifer took our orders. She was helpful, personable & just lots of fun to talk with. If you have a large group, you can easily push the tables together.

Always fabulous food and service! Jennifer is another highlight when we stop in. Her smile greets us and she's helpful when I can't make up my mind which platter I want. Its become a favorite lunch spot...recently I've done myself a solid and grabbed platters for takeout to serve the family for dinner. They warm up FABulously! Highly recommend!

We came in around 1:15 on a Wednesday, excited to try this spot after reading all the great Yelp reviews and seeing the 100 sanitation score. The place was clean, which was nice, but it was surprisingly loud for how not-busy it was. We ordered the steak and cheese pita, the beef burger, and a salad. The salad was fresh but super watery, which made it a bit disappointing. The steak and cheese pita didn't really have much flavor and kind of fell apart as we ate it. It also had a runny sauce that wasn't tzatziki, and we weren't quite sure what it was supposed to be. The burger was okay, but the patty was that perfectly round, pressed kind of meat that felt a little too mass-produced. Honestly, the burger would've been better without the meat. The sweet tea had an odd aftertaste we couldn't quite figure out. We ended up eating most of the food (except the salad, which we boxed up), but overall it just wasn't what we were hoping for. We eat at a lot of Greek restaurants--some run by Greek friends--so this didn't really feel authentic to us. Nice people, clean spot, but probably not a place we'd come back to.

I have enjoyed Greek Kouzina for over a decade (I first went there when it was near downtown Pittsboro). Jennifer is so pleasant and helpful. The sanitation grading is always 100. The gyros, shish kebab skewers, and everything else I have ever had is delish. I also appreciate that they have gluten free pita and employees and well versed in what is gluten free and what isn't.

Food is solid and a good choice when I need something healthy and don't have time to cook for myself. However, I have always thought the portion sizes for the sides are small. A spoonful of hummus is just not enough! Kabobs are good. There were no olives! The additional tax and fees on my one plate order ended up being an additional 26.7% (after I used a 10% discount). I get it. They are paying fees for credit cards, but there is no option to pay cash on an online order. If one of the middle eastern restaurants in Wake or Orange Counties ever expands here, I think they will have to step up their game!

My parents and I came here for dinner on a Sunday evening. Our server was friendly and accommodating and the food came out relatively fast. We each ordered the Kouzina platter, which came with a meat skewer, Greek salad, grape leaves, hummus, pita, and cucumber dressing. The chicken was fine, not the best I've had, and it difficult to get it off the skewer. The salad and grape leaves were also just fine, nothing spectacular in my opinion. However, the hummus and pita were amazing and for sure the best part of the meal. The pita bread was super pillowy soft and the hummus tasted authentic, flavorful, and delicious. I would come back for the hummus and pita alone!

On our way to Charlotte on a work trip and decided to stop for a quick bite before hitting the road and glad that we did! Plenty of parking, small space but still feels spacious enough. The menu is straightforward, you have your sandwiches and your platters! I'm a sandwiches gal and opted for the Chicken Shwarma Pita Combo and it was so satisfying. There was a good amount of chicken, veggies, and sauce, very well balanced and filling. I should've asked for some extra hot sauce or something because I felt like it was missing - that would've just taken the dish to a whole another level! All good though, this gives greek fast food vibes which I love and I'm here for. Where are these in Texas!?

The pitas here are so light and fluffy! My son and I got the chicken pita, and he keeps asking when we can come back for another one. It seriously was so good! The fries are also delish!

A dependable go-to for me! I ordered the Zorba Platter with 2 skewers (lamb and gyro). Everything was delicious, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. I always order extra tabouli and a piece of pistachio baklava :) I also suggest trying their pineapple lemon iced tea!

I stopped for lunch one day this week and the place was virtually empty. I think that is because it's so new! But I ordered a chicken gyro with FF and it was delicious!! Very clean and fast friendly service! I will be back!

My Boo and I visited this location for lunch. I've seen this location for years but never stopped to check it out. I'm glad that we decided to visit this spot. I ordered the Rice Platter Single Skewer. The order came with a side of rice, one pita, tabouli, tzatziki sauce and one grilled chicken skewer. It was my first time trying tabouli. I was very pleased with my lunch choice. The location was smaller than I expected, however the restaurant was clean and organized. The staff was very friendly and checked on us multiple times during our visit.

Enjoyed a gyro today from Greek Kouzina. I love a tasty gyro. The pita was fresh as well as all the ingredients. The gyro was filled nicely with meat, sauce and lettuce and tomato. The place was clean and the staff was helpful and friendly.

Excellent food, great prices, lots of atmosphere and amazing customer service! Recommended for fans of Mediterranean cuisine, or anyone looking to try something new!

The food is excellent and it is served in a timely fashion. Jennifer, the front end professional, was personable, interactive, and courteous. We patronize this restaurant regularly and it always delivers excellent food and fine service!

Some of the best food I've had in a hot minute and service was awesome!! Finished off lunch with a Greek coffee and a pistachio baklava. Totally recommend!

So happy this place opened!! We've been several times - the falafal is very, very good. We've also had the chicken skewers - The guys are honest as well. They messed up a takeout order of ours and remembered we called and made it up to us on our next visit. Smaller dining room so I don't think a large group with small kids might not do well - but there is outside seating. I highly recommend!

Always a great meal. My problem, I forget to take the pictures sooner. After I start devouring the meal because it is so good. Next time I try to do better.

Stopped here to grab a bit of lunch with some friends. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. We took a moment to look over the menu and decided the double kabob Rice plate the the meal for me! I got two chicken kabobs, tzatziki sauce, French fries, pita, and some rice. You get a decent amount of food for the price! My only negative was that the kabobs, while perfectly cooked in some spots, was overcooked and rubbery in other spots. The tzatziki was amazing! Thinly shredded cucumber in the sauce is my favorite was to prepare it and that's just what they did here. Don't forget the baklava you can order while dining here as well! I didn't grab any but I definitely regret that I didn't! If you're looking for some Greek food while in Pittsboro, this might be the stop for you!

The food was very good. I had the flalafel which was tender and delicious. My husband had the gyro and was very impressed. Good value for money. Quick service and the eat in dining room was bright and spacious. Friendly service and great options on the menu. Will definitely come back.

Decided to stop by Greek Kouzina after passing by it the last time I was in Pitsboro. So glad that I stopped as the staff were nice and the food was fresh, good, and authentic! I was warmly greeted and given time to check out the menu. I decided to get the chicken swharma wrap minus the tomatoes and add extra onions. The wrap came out pipping hot and while driving back to Raleigh I let it cool down and I ate it so quickly. I literally blinked and it was gone. The chicken had a nice kick and punch of flavor. The pita was warm and soft and the tzakihi was creamy and cool. Overall it was delicious and I will be back the next time I am in the area!

My friend and I were craving Greek food so we decided to check out Greek Kouzina. It is located right outside of downtown Pittsboro in a business plaza. We called ahead to place our takeout order and we were able to pick it up as soon as we got there. I ordered the Greek lamb pita and she got the Greek platter. We were able to eat outside at a picnic table around the building. I loved my pita and can't wait to come back to try some if there other menu items.

Got takeout today since my grandma is in the hospice in the same area of Chatham Park. Really clean place, quick service, prices didn't seem crazy but definitely wasn't cheap. As to the food: 2. Steak kabob -- very nice char and very tender meat, though needed some salt; 2. Hummus -- very good, probably my favorite thing; 3. Tabbouli -- not dry and tasty enough, 4. Tzatziki -- very good and you get a lot in the veggie sampler, 5. Greek salad -- pretty anemic, only one olive and no pepperoncini at all, definitely the worst part of the meal, 6. Pitas -- toasted after cut into pieces, very good but couldn't make a sandwich with them And 7. Pistachio baklava-- very very dry, much worse than Med Deli's Overall I would probably return for another skewer or some hummus if I'm stuck in the area but I'm not going out of my way for it. Everything I got there is at Med Deli too and it's equidistant so yeah, sorry.

Best baklava in around! Good service and friendly staff, as well as good location with parking. The menu has a good variety of middle Eastern food to try. J. Jerome

If you visit this place,CHECK YOUR RECEIPT!!! They are now charging a 3% "Admin Fee". In addition, they charge 3% if you use a credit or debit card. We recently went in and paid cash ....yup a 3% admin fee was added! When I challenged them, they said "everyone is paying it". Bad answer. This is purely a case of corporate greed. If we don't stand up to this it will continue and just get worse.

Best Greek place! Food is always good, and service is great! The sliced Greek pita wrap (gyro) is my go-to with a side of rice. The rice has amazing flavor and the pistachio baklava is my all-time favorite!

Awesome delicious food. Excellent. Customer service. Open-air seating area. Very clean. Prices are very affordable. The freshness of the food is definitely constant. I have tried many different menu items and have enjoyed all of them. I will definitely recommend Greek Kouzina to friends.

I was coming all the way from Chapel hill to Pittsboro for the UNC clinic. But this place got my attention. It's so good!!! Everything is fresh and clean! Own by ligit Mediterranean owners serving ligit food! Don't know when it's my next visit but I will keep thi in mind!

Food is okay, bland at best. Portions are unpredictable. Expensive for what you get. Staff is less than friendly and are unable to answer questions about menu items. Tried them twice, won't be back.

Stopped for lunch. Wife liked her chicken pita a lot. I had the chicken shawarma. High quality but the flavor was Good not great for me personally I'm used to different style chicken spices. Fries were tasty and very nice to have salad as a side option.

We came here to try it for the first time, for Sunday lunch on March 6, 2022. We love Mediterranean cuisine. However, I was scared by other Yelpers' 1star bad reviews... but I wanted to give them a chance anyway :) Guess what :D I'm glad I did! The so called "notorious unfriendly mean guy" was just so kind and helpful. Inside the restaurant was packed with dine-in guests. The place was busy with both dine in / take out customers. I think some people might felt the guy in the other reviews was mean but it's because his first language is not English. We all should to be kind each other :) Anyway, all the food was fantastic and the kitchen guys were extremely polite, friendly and nice :) Please don't get scared by negative reviews. They are running an honest business and they deserve for 5 stars. We will definitely go back for many more times to try other fascinating menu items

Hi I normally give a harsher review when it comes to the stars!. I will give still a real review and not favorite the place. (I'm not paid I'm a real customer). 1) it's location is Great! Parking is easy and the inside is clean and beautiful. 2) the customer service is amazing from the moment you go in! The Latina that works there is amazing and if the owner sees this please spoil her to keep her and pay her very well!. Customer service like that will bring people back right away. 3) ordering and paying is easy the pricing I believe is reasonable for the food and service and it's a great place for dates and take out. 4) the restaurant could use a little reorganization when it comes to seating, although I do know it's limited and it's not a huge space I still feel if you organize the seating and move it around it'll be a lot better!. Last the food...(if I offend anybody I'm sorry but as a former chef and restaurant worker and manager I give honest reviews specially on food!) The food took no longer then 15 minutes, the presentation is actually 6/10! So that's not bad at all given it's not as easy to plate this kind of food as easily as others so I love it. The gyro was delicious but I do feel the meat was a bit soggy and too wet and tasted like it was steamed. But it was still delicious given the toppings helped it a lot, the Sauce was delicious and I would just change that the meat for the mixed gyro was actually grilled more little less soggy. The pita was soft warm and delicious, I did not know if it's freshly made as ordered? I used to have a kebab and gyro shop and I used to make pitas fresh as ordered. Regardless I enjoyed this food, the chicken pita was 7/10 delicious and the chicken want dry or burnt it was just right and delicious but the only big complaint I have is that the fries get seasoned better since mine were all on like a could le of fried and it was overwhelming. Actually taking the time to evenly season them goes a long way. Now I'm not comparing this spot to fancy restaurants as I would have to rate it at 2 stars barely. This spot is overall a perfect 5 star and specially cause of the great service from the lady she's Venezuelan and she is awesome!. Very helpful and pays attention!. To me at small restaurants things like customer service and cleanliness and fast food food is going a very long way. This is only my second time going I do change ratings if I feel it has gotten worst or better. If you wanted to try Greek food definitely go! It's totally worth it I recommend this 10/10 times!.

Nice casual restaurant. Friendly staff and pretty quick service. But I wasn't impressed with the food. It not bad but average. The Chicken Shawarma pita was kinda bland, not a lot lot of garlic sauce and smaller than most I've had.

I was sitting here eating my food from Greek Kouzina thinking, "OMG this is SO GOOD! And I thought, you know what? I should tell them that. And then I thought, NO. I should tell OTHER PEOPLE. Because that's what you do for a business that does things right. So here's my "thanks for the great food" to Greek Kouzina in Pittsboro. Okay. My husband died in March following a too short fight with cancer, and lots of family and friends who didn't live close by wanted to help us out with the day to day while we figured out life 2.0, and many gave us DoorDash gift cards do meal planning and prepping was one less thing on our list of daily to-dos. And since this is Pittsboro, there aren't exactly a large number of restaurants that do Door Dash. So our choices were somewhat limited. And Greek Kouzina was in our rotation. But let me tell you...when I was in the mood for food that felt like it didn't come from a restaurant, that felt like it was nourishing my body instead of clogging up my arteries, that tasted fresh and delicious, then Greek Kouzina is what I craved. And still do. The chicken kabobs are amazing. The tzatziki sauce is superb. The ingredients taste fresh and well-prepared. My only complaint? And this complaint isn't specific to Greek Kouzina, by any stretch. My only complaint is that there are never enough olives. Never. I keep my own jar on-hand and top up the olive count in the Green Salad. But as I said, that applies to pretty much every restaurant who does a Greek salad. But I digress. What I want to tell you is to order from Greek Kouzina. Or go pick it up. Or whatever. It's good food. And it's good to support local businesses. But seriously, good food.

Excellent Greek! Try it! Very reasonable price too! Great service. Nice people. Our goto place in Pittsboro.

Hands down one of my favorite places to eat in Pittsboro. Great & quick service, & great food!

Delicious food. Like being in a NY Greek diner. I am gluten free. The gentleman who took our order let me know that the gyro has gluten, which I didn't know. I switched to the beef kabob and it was delicious. My husband got the gyro and loved it. Even the gluten free pita had a good flavor and held together nicely. What a great find in an unexpected place.

Overpriced dried meat pita. Asked for extra tzatziki sauce to try to lubricate the meat and was charged 75 cents for a small container. Pita bread the best part of the experience- fresh, flavorful and warm. Ate in. We were the only guests at 12:15 on a Wednesday. A few take out orders came in. When we left after about 45 minutes there were 5 other diners there. Don't plan to go back.

The falafels never disappoint. Neither do their dolmas. The baklava should be illegal as they are habit-forming.

We tried Greek Kouzina's curbside service while camping at Jordan Lake. With the exception of the tzatziki and stuffed grape leaves, which were very good, the rest of our meal was mediocre. The chicken and steak kebabs were dry from being overcooked while the lamb kebab was, somewhat surprisingly, not very moist or flavorful. Falafel was dry and didn't seem like it had recently been cooked. When we ordered for curbside pickup, we provided payment information over the phone. The employee that took our order clearly not only expected a tip, but was apparently not satisfied with the the tip we specified so he gave himself additional money at our expense. Any positive attributes of Greek Kouzina were overshadowed by this dishonesty. We'll never go back.

Good consistent food choice in the area for lunch or dinner. Hope you give them a try!

I'm convinced that all these people with the outstanding reviews have never had real Greek food. I had such high hopes for this place but was sadly disappointed. I moved here from FL where we had "The Great Greek" restaurant which is amazing! I ordered the Greek salad and the lamb skewer which I thought would be a real cut of lamb and it was like ground meat formed into a skewer. The dressing for the salad was sad. Just vinegar. And the minuscule amount of feta cheese was a joke. This place is not worth the price.

Delicious kabobs. Shrimp, chix. Lamb. Gyro. Tremendous. Was not a huge fan of the steak. Pita + dolma + hummus all top notch. Baklava on point. Shout out to John for great service and attitude.

First, I need to start off by saying my child is a very picky eater, but wanted to try Greek Kouzina for lunch at school. I was completely shocked when my child asked me to order Greek Kouzina for lunch again, the following week. My child then started asking for dinner from Greek Kouzina, and we've regulars ever since. The food is fresh, the flavors are wonderful, the restaurant is inviting,, and the owner and his family is absolutely beautiful- inside and out. They truly care about their customers and it was a pleasure speaking with the owner's wife, while I waited for our order. Greek Kouzina is a great addition to the Chatham Park area of Pittsboro.

Decent falafel and lamb gyro. To go service pretty quick. So cool to have a Greek food option in Pittsboro.

The chicken kabobs were great! All of our food was really good. Everything was cooked perfectly. Chicken was juicy and flavorful. Thanks for dinner.

Spouse loves the gyro but I always go for the kabob rice platter - both steak and chicken are tender and well-seasoned but not overly so. All the sides are freshly made and delicious. We both love the pistachio baklava.

Greek Kouzina is the best! The owners are so nice and the food is great. I think I have had everything. Falafel Pita to go, is my go-to.

Great food and amazing customer service! Food is always hot and prepared perfectly. Highly recommend!!

This place is awesome the food is really great fresh and yummy. I live in Durham but work in Pittsboro here and there catering so I stopped by on my way out town. do not drive past this place without stopping and getting some of the fresh food it look like it's a family-owned business

We love the Greek food here. We were long time customers of their East St, Pittsboro location. They have now relocated to a brand new place in Pittsboro Mosaic area. The owner has always been very friendly to us. We love the Greek platter with a kabob stick. Also, the chicken pita with a side of Greek salad is very good. Always great food and friendly service.
