The Fat Greek

"This review is meant to be detailed orientated and thoughtful just like the beautiful family at The Fat Greek. I found out about The Fat Greek on a billboard on the 10-W freeway and it was the best choice I made in awhile to fall for this advertisement. My girlfriend and I showed up and we were greeted by Nick who is a great energy guy! We were excited to try the Spicy Greek Fries, chicken gyro, steak kabob plate, and Baklava Cheesecake. I will give a concise review of each menu item, but I felt compelled to leave a review of beyond the food because of the kindness and wholesome vibe of this family restaurant. Therefore I am structuring this review with a timeline. The "Waiting Room": After ordering up front, we sat in a booth and embraced the attention to detail of the ambience. My girlfriend and i appreciated the blue theme, the maps on the table, and just being able to look outside the windows. The peaceful and relaxing setting helped balance the excitement we had to try the dishes we ordered. I lost track of time, but it was not because they took long I just was in deep admiration of the experience I was having. Simran came out and she was excited to bring out the Spicy Greek Fries. See below for the review Spicy Greek Fries: This is a perfect harmony of fresh seasoned french fries that are nice and soft, the freshest feta cheese crumbles I ever had, and I think the rest of the ingredients were minced garlic and parsley. The serving was huge, but we devoured the pile of fries in no time. Simran saw how much we were enjoying the fries that she brought out tziki sauce for us. I already knew we she brought it to our table that I wanted to pour it all over the remaining fries. My girlfriend liked their tziki sauce by itself so much she left the little dipping cup spotless, it was cute. Chicken Gyro: This was Vicky's order (my girlfriend) Her first impressions was that the pita bread was the freshest she ever had, the chicken was tender and flavorful, and the rest of the toppings onions and lettuce (Vicky doesn't like tomatoes) just added a nice crunch and texture to her gyro. Steak Kabob Plate: When my steak kabob plate was brought out I almost wanted to faint from happiness. They served me like the King that I am haha. The steak kabob there is legit. I got what I think looked like huge steak sirloin on a kabob. It was cooked medium and you could just taste the grill and quality of the steak. It comes with the fluffiest pilaf rice, a beautiful salad, and that fresh pita. I don't usually enjoy pilaf rice, but it was delicious and paired well with every bite. The salad comes with beautiful whole olives and again I don't like olives but I took a bite and surprised my self. I still don't like olives, but if I did then I was served the best olives that are out there. 2 slices of Baklava Cheesecake: Originally Vicky and I ordered just one slice at first, but quickly I understood after the first bite that I must order another one! Have you ever had cheesecake just dissolve in your mouth?? Well that's what happens here and although Simran was joking if we were ready for the climax, it was no joke. The baklava topping of the cheesecake was like a slight crunch and texture to the cheesecake base and that was no New York Cheesecake base just so you know. The Ending: My Fat Greek experience added a new layer of appreciation and connectedness in my life. I don't like taking picture, I don't like posting/leaving reviews, I keep to myself. However, yesterday on February 25, 2024 I opened up my heart a little more and I have Nick and Simran plus the rest of their family working there to thank. I asked to take a picture with them and that's a big deal to me. There's so much more nice conversations I had with them while I was there, but what I want to leave you with is whether you like to look at reviews or really want to try The Fat Greek, my message to you is open yourself up a little more today. I just about reached the character count limit. Blessings!"

"Shoutout to Nick for the best service when I went. The food is delicious and the portions are huge! One particular star of the meal was the fried zucchini, which stayed in the bag for 20 minutes after ordering and remaining crispy/crunchy. I'll be back the next time I visit!"

"I stopped by here because we had heard about it on Dinners, drive ins and dives. It was worth the 10 minute detour for sure! First of all all the staff were sweet and patient while we figured out what we wanted! I got the chicken pita wrap with fried zucchini and it was delicious. All the veggies were fresh, the sauce was delicious and the chicken was perfectly cooked! The zucchini is probably some of the best I’ve had. It was crisp and juicy paired with some bomb ranch I was in heaven! The atmosphere is very cute …I love the fresh herbs they have on every table it adds a comforting aroma throughout the whole place. We came at night but their outdoor patio is something we will come visit again! Plus they have an open bar with a weekday happy hour! Very excited to make this place a new go to spot!"

"The Fat Greek appears humble but it's actually a big deal! They have the Freshest food around. Nick and Chris and their family work incredibly hard to bring us the best, and you can taste it! I have always been impressed when we go to The Fat Greek. The dolmades are a fresh and delightful way to kick off a meal. Follow them with something traditional like a gyro or or even some of The Fat Greek's own creations (which are ALL fantastic!). Get some feta while your at it and wrap that meal up with a baklava shake and you'll be sitting satisfied. Shoot I think we'll drive down and grab one now that I mention it! You can't go wrong with a meal at The Fat Greek!"

"Our first experience here at The Fat Greek was tremendous! The atmosphere of the establishment truly felt like a Greek authentic home. The staff here were very attentive, professional, and courteous. Shout out to Stacy for the fantastic service!! The meals here at The Fat Greek are PHENOMENAL. So much healthy, delicious food options. The serving sizes are gracious, and we had to get to-go boxes cause there was so much food on our plates. We'll definitely be back again soon! Thanks again Fat Greek!!"
