The Simple Greek

Just as the name, don't expect too much. It's simple food. Healthy food, but don't expect too much flavor. It's fast food after all. The service it's average, the facilities are cold. If you are in a hurry and try to eat something healthy, this is an option, just be sure to make an ingredients good choice.

Simple Greek is a counter service Mediterranean restaurant. It’s small but the food the is tasty and you are in and out quickly. Super convenient to the Superdome, you build your own bowl. The woman who served us explained all the toppings and sauces and made some great recommendations. Wonderful to have a break from the fatty (but delicious) typical NoLa options and have something fresh and crunchy. I had a bowl with falafel and added a tasty tahini sauce. Highly recommend!

I recently had a fantastic dining experience that I wanted to share. The food was surprisingly affordable, and the quality was truly impressive. I was very pleased with how quickly my order arrived, which was perfect for my busy schedule. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. I would highly recommend this place for a delicious and efficient meal.

The Simple Greek is my favorite spot in the city! The staff is always super friendly and they're helpful if you don't know what to order. Minimal wait time, clean, and the ingredients are super fresh. I got the chicken gyro bowl with tzatziki and red sauce. Amazing!!

Make ur own rice bowl is great. Plenty of toppings to choose from and always fresh. The workers are very friendly and the plane is extremely clean and fast service. You need to try it for something Mediterranean.

In world of butters, creams, and oils...it is nice to have a fresh meal. While primarily a business district spot, the food was still good near closing time. Pitas a little dry and and the chicken not as moist (but still good flavor). the veggies, hummus, taziki, and other meats were great. And the two gentlemen behind the counter were engaging, friendly, and fun!

Friendly and professional staff. Very fresh veggies and rice, but gyro meat was a bit dry. Prices were reasonable. Conveniently located. Would go back.

This is a cool concept and a nice twist on the typical plates we usually get at Mediterranean or Greek restaurants. Also a plus: they offer delivery options. We ordered through Door Dash and their interface made custom ordering simple. If you order desserts or drinks, we recommend leaving a note to your dasher that there might be a second bag because ours was left behind. The food was really good; the signature chicken was nice and tender but I wasn't a huge fan of the grilled lemon chicken. Everything was packaged well for traveling. We would definitely order from here again.

Don't miss out on the falafel and crispy chickpeas! I'm really picky about falafel and I really enjoyed these. They're a great size, light and crispy, and most of all MOIST!

My boss told me about this place and I couldn't wait to try them. I ordered via door dash and my food arrived timely and hot. The food was really good: simple, yet good. Unfortunately, less than 15 minutes later, I found myself sick to my stomach. Definitely wasn't expecting that.

This place is the bizznaaasss! The service is impeccable and the food is just on point! If I lived in Nola I'd be here daily. Ya gotta try!

This is one of my go-to places to eat. It's very quick, I'm in and out in 5 mins, yet the food is still fantastic. Great place for a quick lunch. Quick and friendly service. Great central location, it's accessible to all of downtown. It's a great dinner option too. Whether I'm heading to a pels game, a show at the Saenger, going to the Quarter etc... it's always a very convenient stop no matter where I'm headed downtown. I usually get the lemon chicken bowl with Greek fries and a cookie. Tons of great add on options for bowls. I'm a big hummus guy, so i love that they usually have 2 different types of hummus, one of which i believe rotates seasonally but it's always something good.

I don't live in the city, so when I am here for work this is my go to DoorDash order. The food is usually really good, but my order is messed up every week. One week they leave off the olives, one week there is no extra feta I paid additional for, one week the chicken was left off the bowl, this week the sauce is not on the side. I love the flavor of the food and the quick service, but I wish the store would pay closer attention to the DoorDash orders and double check them before they are sent out. I work in an office building downtown and it is not practical for me to leave to pickup lunch, so I rely on services like DoorDash. If the owners or managers of this store are reading this, please have your workers pay closer attention to the orders being sent out. DoorDash has had to refund me on more than one occasion for these simple mistakes. I love your food, but your customer service and attention to detail are sorely lacking. So the three stars come from your not expediting orders properly, on more than one occasion. I want to continue to patronize your establishment. So please pay closer attention. As a DoorDash customer I'm paying more than I would if I was to walk into the store, and I'm fine with that, just as long as I get what I ordered. Here's a quick update. I just began to eat my food and there is no chicken in my grilled chicken bowl. Another refund that DoorDash has to make. Come on folks, get it together!

Fantastic, I was in the mood for a gyro and had to stop by. The staff so cute and so nice. I had my first gyro bowl. Mmmmmm good the potatoes were just like I fix em on Sunday mornings. The girls loaded me up real good. The place very clean well lit. A variety of teas. The guy at the register incredibly handsome. Just killed me with his usage of "Sir,". I said man I was looking for my dad (RIP) when you said sir. He apologized and of course I felt a bit bad. But I quickly change topics the food hit the spot. In fact I considered coming back for dinner but decided on another place.

Healthy food, fast service, generous servings. Good place for a fresh Greek-style dinner. I opted for a bowl with a mixed green base. Toppings are standard- hummus, lentils, garbanzos, cucumber, tomato, olives. I chose falafel and they made it fresh. Ingredients are fresh, sauces are flavorful. Next time I'd add some hot sauce. Side of roasted potatoes didn't have much lemon flavor, but were a good way to fill out the meal. Good option if you want something quick to-go in the area.

This food feeds my soul! Favorite? Falafel Gyro. I can taste the seasonings of the Mediterranean!

Good food fast, love the idea of a build your own Greek salad or pita. If you're looking for a quick healthy-ish fix, I'd recommend stopping by. Had the chicken pita with all the toppings and though a bit messy, it was definitely overflowing with ingredients and filling. It'll be on my list for quick and easy lunches

The food is fresh and fantastic! The service is wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable. The lemon chicken is the best IMHO and the lentil soup when available is soup-erb :) Everyone who works there is awesome and I can't say enough about it. The space is clean and crisp! Wonderful experience every single time!

My husband had a hankering for some gyros so we decided to try simple Greek. There are vegan and vegetarian options but sadly nothing for those who also need gluten free too. It's okay! My husband ordered 2 lamb gyros. It's set up similar to a garbanzos if you are familiar with that. You have them.do a build your own exactly as you.want it. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his dinner! We got it to go and took it back to our hotel. I had picked up some salad and kombucha from the walmart earlier for myself Staff was very warm, friendly and helpful. The restaurant was bright and clean.

Located in the business district. Staff was very friendly and informative and explained to us that this place is like a Greek version of chipotle. He was absolutely correct. You can choose a bowl or a gyro. I chose the bowl with chicken and gyro with all kinds of sides. Along with a baklava and chocolate chip cookie on the side. The bowl was very delicious and clean with fresh ingredients all blending together to make a harmonious meal. The baklava was a little bit on the dry side. However the chocolate chip cookie was surprisingly delicious. So good that we ordered 3 more. Highly recommend this place

First time trying this place and it was so good. You have to try the hummus, it was delicious! Next time I'll probably not put the red wine vinegar, but will definitely order here again.

This is a healthy, fast and friendly meal when you need a break from the heavier New Orleans fare. The staff were super friendly,'the food was fresh, and the music was perfectly pitched. Nicest, cleanest bathrooms in the area. We got the bowls--loaded up with greens, seasoned rice, grilled lemon chicken, veggies and a mixture of the tzaksini (sp?) and vinegrette dressings.' So light and delicious. They had flavored fizzy water, at zero calories, and a variety of other drinks and baklava cheesecake (or plain baklava) desserts. We will be back soon for a natural, healthy dinner.

Last minute decision to het a late dinner, so I understand why they were out of gyro meat. Nonetheless, the lemon chicken bowl tasted fresh and yummy. Nice employees there also.

I was staying in a nearby hotel and was looking for something quick and light for lunch. I came during an off time so there was no wait to order my food. The staff were very friendly and helpful with recommendations. I opted for the chicken gyro bowl along with a chocolate chip cookie. The bowl was flavorful and fresh and I surprised myself at how quickly I devoured it! The cookie was amazing! An employee told me they "weren't responsible for the addiction that these cookies create." And, he was not wrong! The cookie was honestly perfect. It was soft and chewy in the middle but the nice crispness on the edges that I love. It is large so you may plan to save half for your significant other, but you will mostly likely eat the whole thing! This place was a great find for lunch! The portion sizes are perfect and the price is great!

A little overpriced for what you get ... I felt they were stingy with the hummus and taziki sauce. Falafel is good and overall had lots of flavor. Great for a healthy option.

Very good, fast, inexpensive meal. I ordered a Chicken & Lamb Gyro Pita & Signature Fries. The signature fries were awesome. The gyro was very good as well. Not the best gyro i've ever had, but very very good. I would definitely recommend if you are in the area

I love the bowls here, the chicken euro is so good and they have amazing sauces. Highly recommend

This is for an order at noon on a Friday, busy with CBD workers and so food presumably fresh: the falafel were rocks and the gyro meat was tough and tasteless. I do not get these great reviews at all. I'm not an expert by any means, but have had enough good around this town to know bad. This was bad.

It's like when you order at subway or chipotle except you are building your gyros.... The food is great, French and clean. The people are super friendly. The different sauces kick butt!!! I recommend this place for a nice lunch!

Our fifth night in New Orleans and opted not to have the usual local fried cuisine. Spotted this on the way to the gym across the street. They had customizable greek-inspired bowls and pitas. Lots of healthy ingredients to select from to make your meal.

Stopped in for something different in the Crescent city. I do love Greek food! Interesting how this place has a build your own pita and bowl. Order standard gyro meat on a pita. I got a kick out of the young girl who thought I was crazy to request fries on my gyro. Found they tend to eat them that way in numerous places in Greece. Overall, good food. Definitely will go back.

According to my DoorDash account, this restaurant was the one I ordered from most frequently in 2020, and I already knew that! This place is great! If you're a broke college student trying to eat something healthier, yet affordable, then look no further! I always get the Pita Bowl, and it's always so so so FRESH! Their French fries are also homemade, and the spanakopita is always on point. Support this local place and keep them busy! :-)

Ordered a take out gyro bowl which was very filling. They prepared my meal fast. No complaints!

If I could leave negative stars, I would. Apple Maps has the hours wrong for this location. It says they close at 10 pm instead of 9 pm, so I placed an order online through the simple Greek website at 9 pm. The order went through, and I got a notification saying my order would be ready at 9:15 pm. I show up at 9:15 pm, and a guy who is working tells me they close at 9 pm and that they canceled my order. I was never notified that my order was canceled, and the payment went through. Without any attitude, I say, "Okay, can I get a refund then?". The nice guy says he'll get his manager, so he does. The manager comes out already upset and with an attitude. She aggressively told me that they canceled my order and they could do nothing. I said, "I understand that, but I still paid for it, so may I get a refund?" She rudely told me I needed to contact the delivery service I ordered from. I calmly, but clearly frustrated, said to her that I ordered from the restaurant's direct website and only they could give me a refund. She then picked up a receipt and shoved it in my face, saying, "I'm not doing anything. I already closed out." At this point, I was frustrated because the store hours were wrong on Apple Maps, allowing me to believe I could order at 9 pm. The order went through without any notification of being canceled, and when I walked in and asked for a refund, as should be expected, the manager was extremely disrespectful and unhelpful. I asked to take a picture of my order receipt to get the refund the following day, and before I walked out, I told the manager, and this is quoted precisely, "You didn't need to have such an attitude with me. I was calmly asking for a refund". She blew up and started yelling that this was not her fault and cursing me out. At this point, I'm fed up because I also did nothing wrong. It's not my fault your hours are listed incorrectly, and I'm sorry, but an order being placed at precisely 9 pm is not the end of the world. You could have made the order. I understand why they didn't, but don't act like I'm wrong or ruining your day by asking for a refund. So when I turned around to leave, I said, "Well then, you should change your hours on maps," and then, I'm not going to lie; I flipped her the bird while walking out. That gave her NO right to do what she did next at her place of work. It was extremely unprofessional and dangerous. She CHASED me outside and tried to fight me. She was screaming at me the whole time. I stood there and told her I would not fight her, and she kept egging me on, hands raised, ready to attack me. Meanwhile, I still had my key, phone, and giant water bottle in my hands, standing in a relaxed stance. She continued to curse me out and asked me to stick around until she got off to fight her. I obviously am not going to do this because I'm an actual adult, and all I wanted was food and/or a refund. This happened tonight, on 6/11/24, at 9:15 pm., so whoever was the female manager closing on this day should be fired. If you have cameras, please watch the cameras as well. This woman chased me out of her place of work, still wearing her uniform, attacking me for asking for a refund... I will leave this review on every single review site if she is not reprimanded. People should know that these are the type of employees this company values. I will be coming in tomorrow morning for a refund and to verify this woman is reprimanded.

If you're looking for delicious (and healthy) this is your spot! Ordered to-go for lunch, and was surprised by how fresh and delicious the food was from this spot! Ordering to-go was super easy, and then they have a spot for pickup next to the counter when you walk-in. Even though I'd ordered to-go, they were super nice when I went in, getting the order for me, asking if I needed anything else - great service. I always love a place that has vegetarian options. I ordered the pita falafel with a side of Greek fries and side of green beans (because I heard they weren't to be missed). So good! The falafel was nicely done and not oily, the seasonings were all on point, and the veggies were fresh. The fries were deliciously seasoned and had feta, so good!! The green beans were super flavorful and perfectly cooked. For something quick for lunch, this place is outstanding! Bonus points that I ate off of all that food twice.

Great food! Super Fresh and tasty ingredients. Service was nice as well!! I will definitely visit again! Great Prices too!!

Looking for a break from Creole/Cajun cuisine? Now I know NOLA is a culinary paradise but fresh veggies and Mediterranean were much needed on our fourth night in town. We discovered that this shop was walking distance from our hotel. We were able to build our lunches so we opted for bowls that included delicious falafel, tzatziki, and lots of fresh veggies. We did share a slice of baklava as Greek festivals haven't yet made their post pandemic return in our neck of the woods.

I watched with anticipation as The Simple Greek was being built and then right when they opened, COVID happened. I finally got the opportunity to try and it did not disappoint! It's a build your own bowl or wrap type of place and what I appreciate is that despite being slow because of COVID they still had 4 workers. I got a bowl and they do not skimp on any of the toppings. The garlic green beans were delicious and the spicy feta had just the right amount of flavor. They also stock a wide variety of bubly flavors, I got mango my fav. My entire bill was $12 so super reasonable. My only regret was it getting a baklava dessert!

WOWWWW this place is absolutely amazing. I haven't been to the location as I ordered through doordash but my food was the bomb. I ordered the BYO bowl & a soup. The bowl was totally enough for 2 servings and the falafel was so soft and delicious. All the toppings and sauces were so fresh too. The soup was sadly out of stock but I Instead got hummus and pita and it was a blessing in disguise because that was the best hummus and pita I've ever had. This is my new go to spot!

Great, fresh food with generous proportions exploding with flavors! Ordered through Grubhub so can't speak for the atmosphere, cleanliness or staff of the restaurant.

Better known for the initial franchises appearance on the CNBC show, the prophet, this restaurant is a welcome addition to the CBD

Wonderful bowls and offerings! So helpful walking me through the menu and ensuring my order was correct. Absolutely recommend!!

Happy to be reviewing about this brand new greek restaurant. The food was superb, cleanliness was on point, and the customer service was spectacular. I was very impressed on how knowledgeable the staff was and how excited they were to start there buisness! It's so simple! Like subway but with Greek food! Fast, kind, proficient, and good vibes! Please stop by down Carondelet street and give them a try!

I am sorry I waited so long to try Simple Greek after they opened. OMG this is by far the most delicious build-your-own place yet. The concept of doing it with Greek food is brilliant. I started my bowl with half rice pilaf and half lentils as the base, then added gyro, grilled green beans, tomatoes, olives, cucumbers and feta with tzatziki to finish. It was DELICIOUS and so fresh. I also got a side of the spicy roasted red pepper sauce, and yeah I could eat a bucket of that. The second time I went I got the spanakopita, falafel, and a "side" of gyro which was huge. AGAIN, OMG!!! I eat Mediterranean/ Greek/ Middle Eastern all the time and love it from everywhere (except Hallal Guys, good riddance) and the spanakopita and falafel here were the best I've ever had, hands down. Thank you to whoever decided New Orleans needed one of these restaurants in our life because we most certainly did. And it is an affordable CBD meal, too! I am just blown away, I didn't expect it to be great, and I've never been so happily surprised. If you work downtown, you must try it. The online ordering is so simple and makes picking up a breeze and contactless. I can't wait to be able to sit in there and enjoy my food once social distancing is over.

The food here is excellent and comes beautifully presented! Half of the experience when eating out is the ambiance and presentation, and the other half is the quality of the food. They get an A+ in all 3.

Saved my life. I was exhausted and desperately needed something clean after days of eating greasy heavy food. They have a ton of great toppings, the pita was delicious and the staff were really nice. It saved my soul. Would definitely come back if I could.

I am in town for work and had a craving for Mediterranean food. I got a bowl with gyro and chicken, seasoned rice, kalamata olives, feta and pepperocinis. OMG, so delicious and full of flavors. A little spicy, a little creamy, a little meaty, a little citrus. So much happening. This is exactly what I was hungry for. My only wish is that I would have doubled my order so I had leftovers!!! Got it DoorDash and it came exactly as I had ordered it online.

Food was fantastic. My husband and I both had bowls. Everything was amazing. I dont think I've ever been to a Greek place that Wowed me before this place. The man that served us was fantastic and helpful too!

Service was excellent & food good but missing something, not sure what. Will try again.

After a week of eating fried food it was nice to eat something healthy! Not fancy, felt more like a food chain

Awful!! We walked in and were immediately jumped on with "a bowl" or "a pita". We had never been here before and had no idea what they were talking about. Instead of explaining the process and how it works, after I said I want a salad (apparently a bowl) she grabbed a handful of lettuce, quickly moved over to the second section of the serving area and grunted what else, rushing me to select stuff without even getting a chance to look at the options. Then when I asked for bread, it seemed like my request was ridiculous, like who has pita bread with salad, right? My husband was up next and it was just as bad. His server was just as rude, unhelpful and short. He also said his protein (gyro) was cold and tasted like it was made 2 days ago. To top it off, neither server was wearing a face mask. Stay as far away from this place as you can. It's awful with terrible customer service.

Wow! Great place, that is actually open downtown right now, and it's super fresh! Second time this week ordering, seamlessly online too! I tried the protein bowl with fresh mixed greens, gyro chicken and lots of other fresh toppings! Also had the hummus and some fresh pita! It was delicious both times! I highly recommend giving them a try. Prices are very reasonable. This will definitely be a new place on my lunch radar!

I ordered, the lemonis potatoes, a gyro with a kalamata salad. Spanakopita and the lemon soup. Spent about $25 and it well with it! Their entire menu is GREAT and takes mcteer baaaaaack tip the ol school recipes! The portions are 2nds and 3rds. The staff is superb! Let's not forget, they also are doing work With the community, making drop off meals. Bless Hellas!

I unfortunately came to NOLA the week the mayor placed a city ban on eating in any restaurant unless you provide proof of being vaccinated or provided proof you had a negative PCR test within the last 72 hours. As an unknowing visitor, this is very frustrating. This restaurant allowed me to order food (just had my mask on) and didn't invade my rights to order a $12 meal. Three other restaurants I visited asked me to leave (I actually have a negative test but it's outside the 72 hour window. Mine was 6 days ago). Thank you to this restaurant. Food was great and employees were nice and respectful.

Best Greek food I have eaten. Can't wait to dine in and get the full experience. Great location. Gyro was fulfilling and full of flavor. Doing a great job getting the food out under the current circumstances we are going through.

Went there after reading reviews . I live 3 blocks from the restaurant . Tried it out . While there are fresh ingredients to pick from I did a wrap with gyro meat , tomato, onion , feta , and sauce . Umm .. 3 pieces of meat ? Really ? I then asked for a side of gyro meat and I received a big container of that . More that was on the original sandwich . .. sure it was tasty .,but....3 pieces of meat in my wrap ?? Skimpy .....

I just ordered takeout for me and my neighbors. Got 2 orders of the Greek Family pack and 2 gyro pitas. It was an unbelievable amount of food and it was all good. Each Family pack was $40 and came with two meats, hummus, pita, salad, green beans and rice. I have a family of 6 and my neighbors have 6 and we had plenty of food leftover. Gyro Chicken and traditional were both on point. Food was fresh. Place was clean. Great family friendly, quick, clean, affordable, delicious and healthy. If that's what you are looking for then this is your place.
