The Greek Corner

Last stop before driving home to Virginia. Great decision. Food was great and authentic. I had the greek gyro with pilaf rice. It was delicious. We'll definitely be back our next trip to Orlando. 😁👍🏼

This place is so good! I love the greek dressing so much. It’s slightly more creamy than most greek dressing and very delicious. The gyro meat and tzatziki are both very good. The lemon potatoes are so nice and tender. Love this place!

We have passed this cute little local place for years, and so disappointed we waited until now to try it! I think this will quickly become a favorite. Add it to your must try. Felt so homey and authentic - the food was delicious! The service was so quick and friendly. We barely had to wait for the food to come out! We will definitely be back! Very casual - no need to dress up! Try the spanakopita - it’s the best I’ve had:) we thought the food compared easily to the local eateries we visited in Greece.

The food was amazing fresh and authentic. I had the lamb and it was wonderful. Everyone was friendly we definitely recommend

This place is delicious. Their gyros were moist and juicy as was their chicken pesto. Their fries were perfectly salted. Their hummus was very fresh and delicious. Their spinach bread appetizer (forgot the name) was amazing and tasted better than the hummus. The server Katie was patient and professional. The covered patio was perfect, giving us plenty of covering during the random bouts of rain. Overall we had a good experience and would recommend.

If you want to go old school and delicious this is your place. The food was fantastic. The portions were huge. Loved everything we had. Do not skip the salads. The Greek dressing is a little different, but SO good. If you like wine, don't skip the Greek options. Very nice. Our server Tanner was a doll. She took great care of us. Best Greek we've had in a very long time. The Greek Corner is a must.

Came here for the first time last night with my girl for dinner. Food was amazing. Very delicious with tons of flavor. We each got the Greek gyro and it was a very good portion size. You get your moneys worth here. It was also very delicious. Also got an appetizer & a slice of delicious baklava.

The Greek corner is one of my all time favorite downtown restaurants. The food is always authentic, fresh, and satisfying. I love the traditional lamb gyro and the santorini white wine. If you’re looking for a great spot to kick back, enjoy classic patio dining, and great service, don’t pass this up

I had a great experience at The Greek Corner! This place is a hidden gem for anyone craving authentic Greek food. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. Inside is cozy, and the outside patio is absolutely adorable, especially with the string lights lighting up the night. I ordered the Garden Souvlaki with rice pilaf ($10.95), and it was packed with fresh, flavorful veggies with perfectly cooked rice on the side. The portion size was generous for the price! We also shared the Spanakopita ($10.95) among three of us, and it was a hit. So delicious, and there were 5 pieces to share. Overall, The Greek Corner offers fantastic, affordable Greek food in a lovely setting. Highly recommend it for anyone in the area!

Wonderful food and very attentive staff. Really enjoyed the outside dining with 74 degree December weather. The only drawback is the noise from traffic on Orange Avenue and the nearby train. We had an early dinner on a weeknight (4-5:30pm) on a weekday. I'm assuming non-rush hour times are much better.

The lamb gyro was really good, first time visiting and we'll definitely be back. Love the outdoor seating.

Food was amazingly delicious The service was great, everyone here is very nice and friendly. And the place makes you feel like you're in a small Greek corner.

This is a wonderful place to stop by when the weather is nice. The outdoor seating area is shrouded with plants and little decors, and there's a nice few of the street. As for the food, we 3 enjoyed what we ordered: lamb was well cooked with little gamey flavor, appetizer platter had a wide variety of items to try, and the gyros were full of meat and veggies. I think the mere platter could've been better with an actual salad instead of 2 slices of tomato and lettuce. Service was meh. It was slow and friendly enough, just not very... warm and welcoming in my opinion. We also were waiting a good 30 minutes (ask for Togo box-- 10 min, print checks-- 10 min-- return checks-- 10 min)to close out since the outside dining area began to fill up. Regardless, it's a cute little spot to try with reasonable prices!

We loved everything about our lunch here. The food was fantastic. Fresh, delicious, and traditional Greek food is served. Fresh housemade Greek salads and soup. The gyro plate was gigantic and tasty. Don't skip the Greek wines if you are a wine drinker. The restaurant has been around for years and has that Back in the Day vibe. Our server, Tanner, was a joy, We'd go back any time.

Lunch crowd was sparse for a mid week visit in the height of the lunch hour. I waited to be seated as a server assisted a gentleman with payment. As he left she said without looking up, take a seat wherever. I should have left at this point. I sat at an outside table with seats so worn I sank five inches lower than expected. I felt like I was a five year old at a table slightly too high. The menus presented were visibly dirty and worn. Fries were the first thing I tried....soggy and disappointing. I am speechless when I take my first bite of the chicken. I have nothing good to report about the chicken souvlaki that was served with both warm and cold chicken. It was dry, it was unseasoned, it was from yesterday. I picked out the tomatoes out because I forgot to request no tomatoes...so much tzatziki to hide the nasty chicken and cold pita. Dirty ketchup bottle nailed it.

Just enjoyed a great casual dinner @ the Greek Corner. Sat outside and enjoyed the sunset. Shared the homemade spinach pie and Aegean salad (Hillbilly salad in some Greek restaurants. Also had their original Gyros. Food was spot on. We asked our server not to rush and she obliged. All in all a great meal, we look forward to returning!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Greek Corner, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. From the moment I walked in the door, I was greeted with a warm welcome and felt right at home. The atmosphere of the restaurant was charming and cozy, with lovely decor that transported me to Greece. The menu was extensive and offered a wide range of traditional Greek dishes, as well as some creative twists on classics. I ordered the Greek Souvlaki, which was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. In addition to the wonderful food, the prices at The Greek Corner were very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the dishes. The portions were generous, and I left feeling completely satisfied and content. Overall, I would recommend The Greek Corner to anyone looking for authentic Greek cuisine in Orlando. The food was superb, the service was good, and the atmosphere was charming. It's clear that the staff take pride in what they do, and it shows in every aspect of the dining experience. I will definitely be back soon!

Nice little Greek place in the downtown area across from the Bay. When you get here, you feel like you're are in a greek taverna with nice outdoor space and casual indoor seating. we sat inside as it was hot out this evening. The server was a little shocked by my requests for items not on the menu. I requested a side of sovlaki, but that was not an option unless I ordered it as a meal. So I went with their version of a Heritiki salad AEGEAN Salad with grilled chicken and a side of Gyro meat. Salad was very good, but all the meat and chicken was a little overcooked, which made it a little dry. Everyone else had good gyro sandwiches, and they loved it. Just was my portion of meat. Still fun time!

This restaurant has such a quaint feel to it, with a very laid back atmosphere, which is part of the reason we love coming. The service is always great! Staff are super friendly and attentive. I docked a star because the food can be hit or miss. I absolutely love the fact that they offer a side salad as an option with your sandwich, for no upcharge! They give you a generous portion, and the dressing is homemade deliciousness. The gyro is where I sometimes have a problem. Half the time it come out piping hot, stuffed with meat, toppings, and tzatziki. Other times, it's only half stuffed and sadly lukewarm. Consistency is a problem. I'll still keep coming though because the flavors are all there and the staff is so wonderful, and just hope that I experience more of the good days than the off days.

I was really excited to try this place, but really everything just ended up being disappointing. After a few bites of everything, we ended up leaving and grabbing a snack on the road. We tried the Marathon sandwich, which is roasted lamb in au jus on a pita. The sandwich was so dry and bland, I couldn't eat more than a bite or two. They had no sauces other than their salad dressing, when we asked. Not even any tahini, so obviously not making their own hummus. The grilled chicken I got looked like they had slapped a few frozen chicken tenders on a George Foreman, so dry and mealy.

I LOVE the Green Corner! I have been coming here since probably 2013 and have always ordered Gyro. Haven't really branched out lol because I think it's just so good. Super authentic food that's tastes amazing and it's an affordable price. The service is quick and friendly. You can sit inside there is a small section, but they have a lovely outdoor patio. It was just redone maybe in the last year or so. The location is perfect and you can sit outside and watch things going on around the lake. Parking is a bit limited to you may be able to find spots behind the restaurant if not out front. Overall, I would recommend anyone to come to the Green Corner for a nice quick bite and authentic greek food!

Pretty terrible. Grape leaves are $10 and come from a can. :( The chicken gyro was dry chicken that was definitely precooked and bland. Way too much tzatziki sauce that was mayo based... gross. Fries were ok, but their ketchup was watery and tasted fishy. Barely ate any of it, This was a very sad experience.

The food was good but half way through my meal it ran right through me and made me sick. Good thing they had a restroom but also bad since I discovered a critter in there. Maybe it's why I got sick. The waiter was a bit slow but that we could deal with. I'd be careful coming to this place. May not be up to specs cleanliness wise. I hope I start feeling better soon.

I was so excited to try their food but it was very underwhelming. I ordered the lamb and it was not seasoned at all, not a pinch of salt, nothing! The lamb chops were large and juicy. They also gave you a nice amount. But I just ended up with a nice amount of tasteless lamb. The yellow rice and vegetables followed suit. It tasted like nursing home or hospital food. For the price I was definitely disappointed. Very disappointed. I took note of all the awards they've won over the years, but they seem to have stopped around the early 2020's. Maybe new management....definitely has to be a new chef. My husband ordered the lamb shank. I thought it was decent, my husband says he enjoyed it so I updated my review to reflect his meal.

I've been looking for the best food in the city of Orlando, pretty much for the past seven years of my life. Rumor had it that some of the best Greek food in the city was at this cozy little Greek Corner. So I had to check to see if these rumors were true or unsubstantiated. Parking was a little sparse. I recommend just getting the nearest parallel street parking spot. Just walk. You could use the cardio. We got there Just in time. The space is pretty small as it is, and the lunch rush rushed in right after we got there. We got seated immediately and before we even got drinks there was a line out the door. Close call. Our server was very nice, but very overworked. It was slow going, but hey, it's a pandemic, and we didn't have anything better to do anyway. We ordered drinks and buckled in for the ride. We started off with a classic app of the Spanakopita (A combination of spinach, feta cheese, & fresh herbs in flaky phyllo dough). These were very good! The crispy of the phyllo literally cannot be replicated with any other kind of dough. And the ooey gooey cheese with the freshness of the spinach inside. Man, I could eat this with every meal of the day. Our first entrée was another classic, the Moussaka (Homemade) (Alternate layers of minced beef, roasted eggplant and potato topped with a Bechamel sauce). This was very good, too. A massive serving of the stuff plopped on your plate. It'll never win a beauty contest, but it did win best surprise of the day for me. I haven't had moussaka this good since I was in Tarpon Springs. Recommend. Our Side Greek Salad never came, so when we asked about it, they instead brought out a whole Greek Salad (Fresh garden greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, olives, and feta cheese topped with house dressing). It was giant. But it was good. Crisp greens, plump tomatoes, a tangyyy dressing, and all that feta. I got too full on this while we were waiting on our final entrée. Oops. I never go to a new Greek place without trying the Gyro Sandwich (A mixture of ground beef and lamb, combined with herbs accompanied by fresh tomatoes, onions and tzatziki sauce, wrapped in grilled pita bread). I didn't get a pic, because I was so tantalized I just tore into it like I was a grizzly bear. But this thing was stuffed to the brim, like a good gyro should be. Meat, meat, meat. Those plump tomatoes, really bite-y onions, and a fine slathering of sauce. Fun, traditional, delicious. The pinnacle of gyro making isn't to make it better than another one, but to just make it perfectly. Achieved here. Oh, and the French fries were those really thick ones with the smooth outsides and the almost-melty potato-ness on the inside. If you know, you know. Overall, yes, this was easily a five star meal. Service was unapologetically slow, so if you'd get butt hurt about that, don't bother, but if you're cool, come here and enjoy.

Best Greek restaurant in the area HANDS DOWN! Casual but classy, excellent fresh real food! The avgolemano soup is life! Phenomenal overall experience. Perfect for a casual romantic date.

Greek corner is a local Orlando institution and I can't believe I've never written a review for them. Dont miss out on the humus, Greek fries and chicken. Truly never had a bad meal here. Service is always quick and kind. Don't let the lack of quick parking worry you - park down the street and enjoy the short walk, you'll need it after your meal!

I am big fan of visiting other dishes and home in Customer Services. I am African American ( Served in the Army 12yrs ) This must've been the worst experience ever. I sat and watched people get served and delivered. Until i had to get up and go inside and tell them i will take my order to go. I would not recommend this place if you look or talk like i do. Please don't serve your country either.

Cute little restaurant in a great neighborhood It smelled amazing when we walked in. I couldn't wait to try the food. The quality and quantity was great. The staff is friendly and helpful. Can't wait to come back next time we're in town.

I visited the Greek Corner in the hopes of escaping the chains and standard plates I've become accustomed to. Unfortunately, I found it to be unsuccessful. The prices are higher than expected. The Saganaki Flambé appetizer was so disappointing. The alcohol and sizzle combo was a great idea, but the cheese was a flavorless, greasy brick after about a minute. The lemon wasn't a smart edition either. We had to use our silverware to scrape off chunks that weren't worth the $13. The gyro sandwich and side of Greek salad was also underwhelming. The meat was cold and dry - I am under the impression it sat out as long as I sat waiting. The salad looked fine on the outside, but the dressing was under-seasoned, and the lettuce was cut so unevenly I had to cut a lot of it myself to fit it on my fork. The other components, such as the peppers and onions, were thrown on as uneven chunks. In terms of the service, it took thirty minutes just to grab a water. After hours here, I have witnessed tables cleared but not cleaned. The staff are well-intended but disorganized and improperly trained.

The Greek Corner is a wonderful spot, they have a nice patio where you can view the lake. You can catch a great sunset here like in most places located in the Lake Ivanhoe area. Prices here are fair and the food is good. I would recommend the Chicken Souvlaki Sandwich, Grapes Leaves, and the Traditional Greek Salad. They offer beer/wine and the servers here are really nice. They are very consistent and that's what keeps me coming back.

Food was good. Watered down salad dressing though. Added $1.50 for the white dip which usually comes with Greek meals. A bit crowded, small sitting area.

Always my go to. Only ever do takeout & order gyros. Food is great and fries always well seasoned. Have been coming here for years!

We had a great meal with great service here. I ate here with my parents and my two kids. Our server, Johnny, was attentive and friendly and did sweet things like bring Otter Pops for the kids after they finished eating so that the grown ups could finish up our meals in peace. Serving sizes were huge. We started with the hummus and pita (really good) and the Greek fries (meh). The grown up meals came with salad, and the kids both got soup before their meals (my son LOVED the avgolemono soup!). We were all pretty full by the time the entrees came. I had the braised lamb, and it was so tender. You didn't need a knife. I certainly couldn't finish all my food, but I can say that the leftovers are awesome, even cold (we're currently hurricane evacuees, and our hotel doesn't have microwaves for guests). My father had the lamb chops, which I thought were good, especially with the roasted potatoes. My mother had the moussaka, and it was some of the best moussaka I've had (not too salty, unlike many places). They have some Greek wine and beer on their menu, and I liked the Greek white wine that the server chose for me. They do have a kids menu, and I appreciate that there's a kid gyro in addition to the usual chicken tenders and grilled cheese.

We discovered there's amazing place last month when we were visiting Orlando. We were so impressed that when we found ourselves in Orlando again this past weekend we knew we had to go back. The service is friendly and the food is amazing! We love Greek food and we will always on the lookout for authentic Greek. This place has it. Next time I'm looking forward to the baked octopus. We had eaten earlier so we decided to share the meze platter for 2, even though there were 3 of us. We still had leftovers!

I love this place first time my wife and I have been at this establishment. Love the Ambiance, the service the food was good. Love the area is on. My only suggestion will be the outside tables have to be better cleaned. My seat I guess had olive oil ruin my shorts and the table was sticky. Other than that I will recommend and will try one more time.

Good experience overall. Our server was engaged and friendly and although we are quite familiar with the menu, he was helpful in offering options. The Greek salad is very good both colorful and flavorful. Must try the saganaki, the Greek are on to something with this dish. Bonus points for having plenty of parking of their own as it can be a challenge in this area at certain times. Due to the heat, we sat inside the last time but wether permitting patio eating is strongly recommended. We will certainly return and enjoy some good Greek food soon.

New spot I tried. I asked for a chicken souvlaki, they gave me a chicken wrap. It came with a ranch type sauce not real tzatziki sauce. Ended it for me.

The Greek Corner has been a great hidden gem in Orlando! Such a neat vibe here! Located in the Lake Ivanhoe area! The owners are so amazing! The plates here are very well portioned! Look at my tasty photos and you will see!

My wife and I stop here whenever we are in the city.Always great food and great service

This place was such a great find! We had a super friendly server during our dinner, he gave great recommendations. We enjoyed a tasty gyro and Greek salad. The homemade Greek salad dressing is fantastic. Thanks for a great dinner and for your kindness!

We got take out, so I can't describe the interior, decor etc. But I can tell you I had the day Mediterranean Veggie wrap that I have ever had! The pita was fresh and soft and had great flavors. Also, it did not fall apart or get soggy. I saved half for the next day, and it was fantastic as a leftover, too!!!! I also got the Greek salad and it was HUGE. I did need to cut up the tomatoes , olives and some of the lettuce chunks, but it was super fresh and SO good!!

Two excellent plates of Greek food along with lobster bisque for the soup of the day!

Love this spot on Lake Ivanhoe. Authentic Greek restaurant with delicious food and great service.

We ordered take out from the Greek Corner. We hope to enjoy the inside dining in option soon! We ordered the saganaki, which was extra lemony and kind of sour. It was ok. We also got the hummus and pita, and got a ton of pita but no hummus. My greek salad was a whole lot of salad but not a lot of dressing. We definitely want to give this place a chance Dining in.

Watch your credit card slips. I travel for work and stopped in to three times during my week stay to just to grab some desserts or coffee and even went in for dinner one evening. The service took forever people that arrive that they got all their food and my food was more salad or less cooking-based. Of all my charges they added extra dollar or so on when closing out the credit cards photo attached.

Love love love! This place is so cute and authentic. It is clean and the staff were so kind. I shared the mixed appetizer platter with a friend, and still had a lot left over. All the food tasted so fresh and flavorful. Of note was the spanakopita. It was hands down the BEST I have ever had! Would 100% return here to try more items.

I've been coming here for years and have introduced friends and family to this place. It can be hit or miss with trying to find a decent gyro with proper tzatziki sauce, so once I found how delicious the gyro is at this place I've been coming back ever since. I usually get the gyro with the little greek salad on the side. The dressing on that salad is nice and zesty with a nice mix of veggies. It was very much like the salads I had in Greece. Their hummus and pita bread have a nice homemade flavor to them as well. One of the main benefits of this place is that they actually make the food themselves and most of the staff is actually Greek, so they do a good job of bringing the authentic food to us.

Great chicken souvlaki was delicious. Got the side salad to go with it. Wish I took a picture but was so good finished it to quick

Food was amazing. From a Greek person, it tasted similar to what I usually eat. The service was very fast and our waitress was kind. The environment was quiet and very cozy.

The tastiest VEGGIE GYRO!!!! Roasted veggies & feta make it so flavorful. My favorite vegetarian gyro in Orlando! Cute patio atmosphere! Friendly service.

Food tasted good but the server wasn't the friendliest and she seemed to have given herself a tip as the check was $33 but then the receipt said $36.

This review is based on a few dozen visits and getting the same gyro platter every time - it's THAT good that I never get anything else! I've been lucky enough to eat gyros in Greece and in Turkey and find myself loving this gyro just as much. It's a fairly simple dish but I think that's the beauty of it. The key is the flavor in the meat and in the Tzatziki sauce. I switch between getting rice or salad as my side for lunch. I've had a number of friends tell me that they've had better gyros elsewhere but I just think you'll have to try The Greek Corner for yourself and see what you think to form your own opinion. The customer service is consistently reliable despite the occasional flub, they've always been friendly and accommodating. At the time of this writing, there are two apartment building being built near this restaurant so my advice to you is to eat here while you still can because I foresee this restaurant being packed once those apartments are completed and guests start to fill it up.

This is a follow up to my first review. I received this message from our waitress. It shows you the mentality of this individual. Hi this is 'Kate' You were the rudest people I have ever waited on, you demanded attention for a soup within the first few minutes of placing your order and because the new girl has less tables than me, she is able to serve them faster all the while I am the only one taking incoming phone calls and seatings. I assure you I wasn't twiddling my thumbs somewhere. When you came in to yell at me on a steady evening I couldn't find it in me to fake a smile to serve you. Sorry about that. But I definitely will refuse to give you any service if I ever see you again. Thanks I just thought you should gain some perspective. The first few minutes of placing my order?! You will never see me again. The only reason you work at that restaurant is because you mother owns it. Your lack of professionalism is apparent based on your obnoxious response to my objective review. Remember these words: The Customer Is Always Right. I will now do everything I can to inform people of the poor quality of your restaurant: food and service.

Delicious comfort food for the soul! This place took me back to my grandmother's kitchen, beautiful ingredients, aromas and amazing taste! We loved everything and will definitely keep coming back for more , best Greek food around!

The food was authentic Greek the seating inside is very limited . Would definitely go again for takeout

Wonderful serving staff and great food. Very generous portions and kind family atmosphere.
