Kentro Greek Kitchen

I got the moussaka and it was delicious! My bro got the pork pita and the meat was very tender. Their French fries are great too. My mom got the avgolemono and it was good, but she is not used to it having carrots and celery in it. The tzatziki was pretty good, but tasted like there was feta in it maybe? Not bad, but not like the greek tzatziki I know. It was still good tho! The tiropitas are nothing like real tiropitas, so be aware. They have honey on them and its not that thin crispy philo dough the traditional ones have. Its an interesting dessert type take on them, but not my style lol. Still a great restaurant tho! Very kind staff. No menus, its all written on the board and you order at the front. All in all, its worth a try!

Kinda came here be accident. Actually yes, indeed it was accidental that we came here. You see we found a parking spot right in front and decided to forgo the walk to our original destination. This place did not disappoint. We had the octopus appetizer, which actually came out after our entrees but we’re not mad. The octopus 🐙 was SO tender! Tried a Greek beer, Mythos…light and refreshing on a hot afternoon. The lamb pita was delicious and I had horia tiki salad and added chicken. Overall we really enjoyed the food and service.

Food was unexpectedly good. Waitresses were very nice and caring. I wish they had pictures for their menu.

Although the food was great, waiter service was fine, and the atmosphere was fitting for the cuisine, they made us wait an hour for two dessert baklavas to come out. This was particularly odd considering everything else came out in a timely and orderly fashion. It really made me even more furious when I realized I already paid the tip and that I had other business to do that day. (For context we arrive at 12:00pm and left at 2 pm and we are fast eaters) I understand that this may have been a one time thing, but if someone ever asks me for food recommendations, Kentro will not be getting my recommendation again.

The Lamb here isn't the usual cheap gyro meat you see in many Greek restaurants. It was rich, and soft, and packed with flavor. We really enjoyed the tziki sauce, it was fresh and delish! My wife tried a lamb flat bread, and I tried the Lamb sandwich. Both were amazing dishes, and the fries were super crispy and flavorful. We ended the meal with some nice double cappuccinos ! The layout is nice, it was a bit hot in there, but I run hot so many may have not noticed it. All and all a very pleasant experience!

The spaghetti dish brought me back to when I used to have spaghetti in Korea with my parents and my sister. There was just something so homey about it and I legit had a ratatouille moment. Also, the french fries fries were absolutely delicious. The service was also very impeccable. We felt like we were really taken care of. I would absolutely come back.

Overall 8/10 for foods and desserts. Good service.

A nice cute little place. Food was okay. They use healthy and fresh ingredients. Servers are very friendly and helpful. You may want to visit here for an experience.

Kentro is located in the heart of downtown Fullerton on the southeast corner of Harbor and Commonwealth. There is plenty of parking in the lots behind the restaurants on this corner. The entrance is on the rear parking lot side of the building. The restaurant has a nice modern feel. Seating is mostly tables but there are also a few half booths. There is a black granite-topped bar with stacked stone below, which gives the space a classy look. Upon entering, there is a food menu on the wall. Proceed to the register to place your order. There is also a drink menu on the wall behind the register. They give you a number to place on your table and your order will be brought out when it is ready. I ordered the lamb pita and it arrived at my table pretty quickly. The pita was very soft and pillowy. There was a good amount of lamb inside, and the vegetables were extremely fresh. The feta cheese stood out and highlighted an excellent pita. It came with a huge serving of their fries which were thin and crispy with a great seasoning. I hadn't dined here in years, but after this meal, I'll definitely return sooner next time.

PARKING (4/5): Parking is usually free during the day, just check the signs. A big lot, but does get busy during peak hours. FOOD (5/5): I absolutely love this place! Their food is on point and healthy in my opinion. I've tried almost everything here and I'll always come back. One of favorites in downtown Fullerton! AMBIANCE (4/5): It's a fast casual restaurant. You order at the cashier and then find a table and they'll bring your food to you. SERVICE (3/5): It's usually pretty empty when I come here, they are quick to bring out the food, but I've noticed once they do they don't check on you at all. You have to go up to the front/register to ask for anything you may need.

We stumbled upon this place by chance and wow was it great! The host greeted us so nicely, you just order at the register and choose where you want to sit. They have a huge menu selection but we tried the octopus and the Spanakorizo. They were so so flavorful! The octopus was so soft not chewy or hard at all! The rice had great lemon flavor. The food was delicious. Wish there was more of it!! It is a bit pricier I would say but so worth it! Will try the desserts next time !

Thoroughly impressed with the service and food at Kentro Greek Kitchen. Had my first dine-in experience and couldn't be more satisfied with the meal. I tried out their lamb burger with a three chromo salad for my side. Blown away with the perfection, fell in love, already desiring another. The quality is second to none, pure perfection in the flavor. The salad was honestly a unique choice but a perfect side to go along with the burger.. The staff handling the counter and bringing out the food were perfect. Friendly, knowledgeable of their menu, solid recommendations for this rookie.. Plenty of indoor seating, very clean restaurant. The owners of Kentro Greek should feel like heroes with what they provide society.

3.5 stars. I've been craving Greek food for a while and I'm glad that we stopped by here. Kentro has a lot of options for lamb and I went with their lamb pita. It was juicy and flavorful. For appetizers, I went with their saganaki and calamari. The calamari was served in a marinara sauce and goes well with bread, but we had to order the bread separately. The saganaki (fried cheese) was nutty and savory, but I would have loved to have it warm and melty and I would have liked to have had it with bread (which I had to order separately). Their fries were thin, crispy, and buttery and they had a nice rich flavor. I also had a roasted corn dish that was buttery and cheesy with some nice char. Overall, we had a few dishes that had some nice flavors; however, service was limited, appetizers were okay, and I'd recommend that you proactively order extra bread if you buy appetizers and/or spreads.

This place was very disappointing. I went for lunch given the good reviews and I ordered a salad with chicken which they told me had to be the entree salad (more expensive but larger). What I got was the smallest salad with a bunch of pita bread for filler and maybe one strip of chicken shredded to make it look bigger. There was also so much dressing at the bottom that the whole salad was soaked and soggy. Super disappointing

Review for takeout. When I walked inside, the interior was so cute and beautifully decorated. I wish I had dined in! But I got their house Greek salad, which was well dressed and had lots of onion, tomato and cucumbers. No protein included but Very refreshing! It came with complimentary bread which was lovely to dip into the salad dressing. I also got zucchini fries which were sliced thin, crispy, and well seasoned! Overall very happy with quality of food. The two items (salad and zucchini fries) came out to $27 dollars, so I feel it is on the pricier side though. Parking can be tough as well as the lot is usually full.

Wow I can't believe, I had never been here until now. We just over ordered and did not regret our choices one bit! Amazing ! Order a plate for the table. We went with the octopus and loved it so much. He ordered the lamb burger and I ordered the Chicken Souvlaki... just amazing . We wrapped it up with a Frozen Yogurt and a Baklava Ice cream sandwhich. We can't wait to come back. Also shout out to the staff they were so helpful and so kind. I will be telling all my friends and clients!

I ordered the chicken pita, and it was too SAUCE-Y for my liking. If you order the PITA WRAPS, make sure to ask for less sauce. They are known for their fries, so the fries are always good! I didn't like my order but their other main entrees look like they are worth a try -- like their souvlakis! If I were to come again, I would try that (recommended by the worker) The ambiance is quiet and seating selection is to your choice.

Came to eat here on a Monday night around 7:30PM and easily found parking and got seated quickly. Kentro is an establishment where you order your food before sitting down. The restaurant is very clean and nice with music playing softly in the background. There were a few people working in the kitchen and one woman working the main dining area, taking orders and serving food, doing a great job. We had a quiet and intimate dinner here and everything was delicious! Before this visit I had only tried the pitas, but I was so happy I branched out and tried new items that day. We ordered the Calamari, a side of fries, Psari Tiganito, Kalamakia, and the frozen Greek yogurt with baklava. I especially enjoyed the Calamari - everything about it was so delicious. This meal made me really happy, I highly recommend visiting!

Hands down the best dinning experience thus far! We were pleasantly greeted and helped by Claudia and staff as we asked questions regarding the extensive menu. Claudia's suggestions hit the spot. She is very knowledgeable and has great taste when suggesting which items to try. We tried the Manouri Flat Pita Bread, Chicken Souvlaki, Lamb Chops, Kids Chicken Skewer and for dessert Baklava Crumble Frozen Yogurt. Everything was delicious! There's soothing Greek music playing in the background of this comfort chic establishment with a cute sit down bar and warm lighting. We will definitely come back for the great food and excellent service!

I'm a suckered for Greek food so this place was a must! we were recommending to get the pita gyros so my friend and I got the chicken and the lamb. both had great unique flavors and were really filling. it came with a side of seasoned fries and we decoured everything. it's set up to be a nice sit down restaurant but you actually order from the counter and seat yourself. they offer water when you order and check up on you occasionally. it's a littttle pricey for the size of the pita but it's still a very good and sizeable portion overall.

Food looks and tastes incredibly upscale, while having a casual walk-in restaurant atmosphere. It is, of course, delicious. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Prices are pretty low, considering the quality that you will be receiving. If you don't know anything about greek dish names, then the menu might be a bit confusing, but the staff will help you out, if you ask. We got the calamari, which was made way different, but still equally addictive. The chicken skewers and rice was beautifully plated and yummy. I'm personally in love with their frozen yogurt dessert that comes with pieces of baklava in it. They make the yogurt in house. However, we still got a piece of baklava on its own. Its my mom's favorite. They serve it warm and don't drench it in honey, so its not too sweet. It reminds me of pie or something else incredibly delicious. Definitely coming again.

Kentro Greek Kitchen 100 S Harbor Blvd, Ste A, Fullerton, CA 92832 7/10 Overall: I loved the ambiance of the place, and their service was great! Their food was yummy but a bit on the expensive side. The portions were small and not super fulfilling. I love Greek food but if I were to come again it would be for the ambiance, not rlly the food. Paithakia $24: 4/5 the lamb chops were a bit small but super flavorful and cooked perfectly medium. The lemon oil it was cooked in was a favorite for us. Their fries were super crispy and the tzatziki was creamy and delish. Mousaka $18: 3/5 this was a veggie type lasagna with layers of cheese, zucchini, tomatoes, and lasagna sheets. It was really delicious but was also quite small in my opinion. It came with yummy bread which was good for dipping. Loukaniko $14: 3/5 this was a flatbread topped with sausage, feta, tomatoes, capers, and shiitake mushrooms. The feta was a bit overpowering, even for someone who loves feta. The tomatoes were seasoned and marinated perfectly, we loved them. All together, it was an okay dish. #food #foodie #instafood #foodlover #foodphotography #foodreview #foodblogger #foodlover #foodlove #collab #foodcollab #explorepage #explore #trending #greek #greekfood #lambchops #oceats #fullertoneats #lamb

We came here to fulfill our cravings for Greek food and this place really hit the spot. It was our first time, but the two ladies working there made our experience easier to navigate through the menu and what was bomb. We ordered the Lamb Gyro, the beet salad, zucchini chips, and the vegetarian flat bread. Everything tasted good. For appetizers, i recommend getting the zucchini chips. It's crispy and addicting. I really like the dill seasoning they have on it. They are known for their lamb here, so I had to try the gyro. The sauce and the cheese was sooo good. The portion size was reasonable. I got freaking full. The restaurant is located in Downtown Fullerton. It was kinda difficult to find parking. The place is clean and nice though. You would first just walk in and order at the register before getting a table. I will come back soon to try their desserts and lamb chop!

Great place! I ate with my family and we all ordered something different, it was all excellent. The staff was very helpful. The food came out fast and it was all very fresh. This is an order at the counter and sit down place that brings the food out. Nice ambiance.

It's one of favorite spots for a quick meal Love ambiance and delicious food especially their salads

It's been awhile since I've been there. But, it has never disappointed and it survived the pandemic. Food is fantastic and their garlic fries are to die for.

Food: The Chicken Pita was fresh and well-balanced. The sauce complimented the vibrant greens well, but it's definitely more on the tangy side. The chicken was shredded but not dry. They gave a very generous amount of fries as well. They had a nice seasoning, but were a bit on the salty side. Ambiance: It was quiet when we initially arrived a lil after opening time, but the place quickly filled up by the time we left. There are a lot of seats in the restaurant and it had a nice interior as well. Service: You walk up to the cashier to order first before taking a seat. The waiters were very nice and checked up on us a few times during our meal. They even offered to-go boxes when they saw we had leftovers! Parking: There are only a handful of spots directly in front of the restaurant, and some are 30-minute only spots, but there is a bigger parking lot a few steps out that is free in the day!

Absolutely delicious. I would visit again and again. I ordered a souvlaki and the lamb chops. Service was impeccable and the inside was modern.

Everytime I go to Kentro I always get the chicken pita. The portions are very big and the highlight of the dish are the fries. They so fried and seasoned so well I ate all of it off my plate. The flatbread wad very clean tasting and I liked the honey that was on top because it gave a sweet and salty combination. You go up to order and they bring the food to the table. Service is very friendly and they are very quick to bring water and sauces. I highly recommend! There's ample parking and this place is good for groups too!

Best Greek food and service around! Everyone should try this place! Paulett , the manager, is a stand out manager and she provides the best customer service I have ever seen. You're missing out if you don't try this place. Food seems like it's imported from Athens!

Went here on a Friday night and it was fairly busy. It has a good laid back vibe. OK about the food Calamari 2/10: part of it was my fault for assuming it was gunna be fried. It's not fried, and the menu doesn't say it isn't fried. The calamari was BARELY cooked, it was almost see through, and you can still see the purple dots on the skin so it's almost raw. It was very chewy. Maybe authentic Greek calamari is supposed to be served this way? Idk but I didn't like it Pork skewers 4/10: good burnt char on the outside and good seasoning some pieces had some extremely tough and chewy fat that I had to spit out because it was like bubblegum. Sides: everything was lukewarm. I wished the food was a lot hotter.

food was a 10/10! the flavors were amazinggg and not lacking in anyway at all. i haven't had greek food this amazing in a while!! Service was very friendly and fast in my opinion. The cashier was very sweet, and she gave me suggestions since it was my first time. Only way i think they could improve is by table touching which they didnt do at all. But totally fine since they make everything pretty accessible for you to get your self. Took a star away for cleanliness because they could do a bit better in that department . Will definitely be coming back for takeout soon because the food is incredible!

This has been one of the longest standing restaurants in Downtown Fullerton, and for a good reason-- consistently amazing specialty greek food. I've been here a few times years back in highschool, and recently brought my boyfriend to experience their food. Food: I got the charbroiled seabass, and he got the lamb burger. Both were PACKED with flavors and textures that complemented each other and we both scraped our plates clean. He ordered his burger medium, which is what one of the servers recommended, and it was perfect. The bun was so soft and fresh, and the pickled onions gave the burger a little bit of a spice kick which paired really well with everything else. The house fries are also to die for, they're tossed in zataar seasoning, cheese and butter and I would recommend even ordering a side on its own! The seabass has a perfect sear, and had lots of beautiful color throughout the entire plate. Service: Our server, Paulette was super fun, attentive, and kind. She had a really good understanding of the menu which ultimately helped us decide what we wanted. There was another younger Asian guy who was great as well but we didn't get his name. Ambiance: Super cute and cozy date/brunch spot. It honestly wasn't busy when we came in around 3pm, there were only three other tables but they were all of different ages and backgrounds so I'm sure everyone would love this spot! They have a small bar with import beer, decent wine selection, and chill music.

Amazing food! You have to try their fries and wild rice when getting sides - delicious. I got the chicken skewers and my husband got the lamb pita - delicious as well. The ambiance is clean and classic. We were tended to well as the service was wonderful. We will be coming back.

Ordered the lamb plate to go. I've has better, the lamb was overcooked and the fries were hard and did not have enough garlic flavor.

The food was a burst of flavor! The beet and fig salad was exquisite! It was a combination of flavors that I had experienced together. It was absolutely amazing. The chicken soup was also very good and comforting. It had a bit of a lemony taste to it. All in all the portion sizes were good and the food was amazing. Need to go back again!

The ambiance captured me from the window, and the outstanding service began from the moment we walked in the door. The food was amazing!! I can't wait to visit again.

This place is SOOOOO good. Highly recommend this place. Service is great. Vibe here is clean and spacious. The food here is made to order and it's full of flavor!! We got the sausage flatbread and the pork skewer entree. Both of these dishes were so good and full of flavor. It was made to order. Portion sizes are generous so it's great to share. They do let you know the entree takes about 15 mins or so since it's made fresh but its worth it. Highly recommend and will be coming back to try entire menu.

Oh my gosh, I am so happy that I decided to come here for lunch. The food is so good and the service is impeccable. I'm so happy that I met Paulette, she really truly changed my life and was great at recommending different items on the menu! The ambience is such a vibe.

Well, that was a delicious lunch! I had chicken skewers and my friend had Seabass for lunch and we decided to split the lunches so we could both try everything. We also had the calamari in tomato sauce appetizer, which was great! Nice sized portions that are worth the price and the drive.

Light and descent Greek food! Service is very good and location is walking distance from downtown Fullerton so great to walk around afterwards. Will come back to try other items

This place wants to be fine dining but they wanted to save on labor so there still a front counter. The food? Tastes good. The decor? Could almost call it a young-adult date night. Not formal enough to be extra, not doner-shop casual, a semi-cute place to get past the small-talk. The prices? Ouch. Paying that much for a zankou-tier gyro is harsh. Lamb was tasty but once again, ouch.

Awesome service. Delicious moist lamb, cooked to perfection. Chill and comfortable atmosphere. Good background music. Not too loud and also not too low. The Galaktobouriko is to die for. I had one and want to have another.

Stop thinking about what to eat and come to Kentro! It will be one of the best decisions you've made in months, who knows maybe even years but I'm not judging! I honestly come here at least twice a week, and sometimes 3 times (no shame). It's conveniently located near the train station I take everyday to come to work. The people and service here are amazing to say the least. Huge shout out to Paulette for always giving me suggestions as to what to order. She has opened my eyes to other foods with her friendly persuasion . Big shout out also to Yech, Maria and Ari for always being the amazing humans that you are. I stick to the Spatiki Salad which has an incredible blend and balance of the hummus with the Chicken and salad ingredients. So good and then the Pita bread it comes with takes it to a mind implosion level. It's the quality of the ingredients that really hits home. Anything you get here is gonna knock you off your shoes, or sandals . The place is big and has a very friendly ambiance, they never disappoint and hence the reason I eat that for more than half of the days of the week. Recommendation: Spatiki Salad Chicken Pita wrap with the lamb wrap set-up. Lamb Burger Tirokafteri Spread Char broiled fish with spinach rice. Tiropites

Awesome fries! Must try! A perfect combination of potato, cheese, salt, and herb. We came to this restaurant after a long hike at the Fullerton Loop. I was reminiscing my backpack days in Greece, which prompted Greek food for lunch. The four of us each ordered an entree: char-broiled fish, vegetarian flatbread, lamb sandwiches, and chicken pita. We were pleasantly surprised by the awesome fries. The vegetarian flatbread reminded me of a thin crust pizza, flavorful with slight crunchiness; a safe choice if you're not sure what to order. My friend also ordered a soup that came with two pieces of sourdough bread, which was disappointing because it was such a small bowl of soup! The rest of the dishes are ok. For desserts, we tried the Greek yogurt and the baklava. The yogurt was creamy nutty, with refreshing tartness. The baklava was unremarkable. I like the purple glass wine bottle they use to serve water, which is a nice touch. All orders are collected at the cashier, the waiter only brings the food to you. Very nice indoor decor with olive trees and wall arts.

First time here at Kentro. I ordered the Avgolemono soup at the suggestion of Paulette. Oh so good. Very filling. Perfect blend of chicken, rice and lemon. I also ordered the chicken pita. Nice tender chunks of chicken breast, marinated tomatoes and cucumber with a mountain of their Kentro French fries. Everything's so tasty. We will be back soon. Thanks again ro our gracious server Paulette.

The food here is amazing! My family and I have almost ordered everything on the menu. We have been here 3 times in the last 2 months. I will definitely put this restaurant on our monthly rotation! I love their grilled fish and my husband loves their lamb chops. The kids enjoyed their pita wraps and everyone adores their Kentro Fries!!! Hands down my favorite fries ever! Give this place a try if you're in the area. You will not regret it!

Kentro is the most amazing Greek restaurant in Fullerton! The food is amazing we have so many favorite dishes. The price point is also so amazing, great atmosphere, fun vibe and the customer service is world class. Be sure to look for Paulette (Mgr) she will take great of you! She's a GEM and provides stellar service. 10 out of 10!

I came in to Kentro for a quick bite before work. Paulette greeted me with a welcome and recommended the Horiatiki Entree salad since I mentioned I was trying to be healthy. This is my first time here and definitely will be returning to Kentro!!! Fresh and it shows!!! Taste amazing!!!

Visiting from Australia, we had suitcases but the lovely staff member put tables together for us to make room. The pita was delicious, the tzatziki was delicious, both Manouri and Lamb flat breads were delicious, and the coffee was the best we've had since we arrived in the US a week ago. Cannot recommend enough if you're in the area or waiting for a train like we were, only a short walk from the station car park.

We're from the East Coast, where we have access to some of the best authentic Greek food. So, when we stumbled upon a Greek restaurant in Southern California, we were pleasantly surprised. The food tasted just like it was cooked by my husband's grandmother in her Greek village. It was pure authenticity. The ingredients were top-notch, and the water they served was filtered and refreshing. In these times of rising fast food prices, this place is a welcome change. It's not only delicious but also doesn't leave you feeling bloated afterward. Oh & Paulette was excellent at taking & delivering our food. Very knowledgeable of the entire menu

Food was amazing. Everything very fresh. A Must eat. Downtown Fullerton. Walking distance from train station

Stopped in for lunch after getting off the train on a Sunday afternoon. The manager was awesome. She was working so hard, caring for customers in a way that was so proactive. I was so impressed and really felt like we were not just customers but valued. Some of the other servers worked hard to make meal experience excellent, too. The food is always delicious and tastes fresh. But today I cheer for the manager! She takes this restaurant and its customers seriously. That made a difference for us! Filling my ice tea, getting more bread, clearing dishes promptly, anticipating needs. So accommodating! Gave me a great feeling and glad we chose to eat here. There are restaurants out there where I've felt like I'm interrupting the staff. Not the case at Kentro

Had lunch there today with my mom for her birthday and the entire staff was amazing. Food there is always fresh and very tasteful, so much flavor!! we will definitely be going there more often as this location in Fullerton is in our hometown! Thanks again!

Such a cute place for a lunch date. The food is so good and flavorful. The fried zucchini chips are delicious. And the yogurt desert was amazing! Service was great as well!

I had the fish and my husband had the chicken entree. Everything was cooked to perfection. I would definitely go back and try their other menu items. Easy parking. Yum

I ate here once before with a friend and couldn't wait to have my husband return with me. It did not disappoint. Our dip trio, zucchini chips and lamb chops were delicious!
