GRK Greek Kitchen

Decent. I’ve eaten here probably 8 – 10 times. It can be a little hit and miss for the lamb and beef, sometimes a bit dry. Same holds for the pita. It is the best option in the loop for gyros, unless you are looking a place the serves fries…

I came here for a late lunch and was rushed through ordering and picking an entrée by the staff. I also had a lot of difficulty understanding the staffing when they were asking what toppings I wanted on my plate. I understand rushing people in the height of the lunch rush when there is a line out the door– but my friend and I were literally the only two people waiting. 1
I thought the food was dry and tastless, but that could be because I was there later in the day.
I probably won’t come back here. There are better options in the loop

Pretty good option for «fast» Mediterranean food. Fast service and fresh ingredients. I was happy with the hummus and falafel. Not bad prices either.

Excellent fastfood Mediterranean. Gets crowded at lunch, but they move you through pretty quick. Know ahead of time what you want!

Tried the place for the first time today because my co-​workers raved about how good the food here was, so I ordered the gyro/​beef and the rotisserie chicken. The chicken was so dry and flavorless as if it has been sitting over night and the gyro/​beef was even worse. I spent $ 14 just to get two meat rice/​orzo pasta, rice was cold and hard and the orzo had no flavor. I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS PLACE AGAIN. Don’t waste your time or money, I wish I could issues no star because one is just too much to give for that awful food.

Tried this place for the first time today based on a reference and I will NOT be back. Nothing worse than cold greek food (gyro meat and the pita were cold, not a good combo)
The vegetables were fresh but that is it. Don’t waste your money, there are lots of other places near by (PS – don’t worry about your time, now i see why the line was not very long)

Love it here! They have the best salads and chicken kabobs downtown. Hummous, orzo, gyro, chicken rotisserie (don’t call it shawarma!) and pork rotisserie (aka REAL Greek gyro) are all solid winners too. The Greek Salad, Village Salad, and Mediterranean salad are good quality, great portions, and reasonably priced. I appreciate that they offer the thin Lebanese style pita as an option for your sandwiches too, along with the Greek pita. The soups are always good and I was suprised at how much I liked the chili.

Wow… I can’t believe I paid $ 10 for dry chicken and some spinach. There’s a GRK (different company, I think) in New York that is a similar concept, but the store isn’t as dingy (much better-​lit) and the chicken is juicy. I think if I’m spending this much on shawarma meat, I’d much rather go to naf naf.
The spicy sauce was very good, though!

I belong to a work lunch group. One of my co-​workers ordered for us. They forgot my soup, the salad had no dressing on it, was the size of a side salad and the falafel had no sauce with it. Even worse the falafel were hard as rocks and they charged an extra $ 2.25 for 3. I’m going to pay $ 12 for a side salad and 3 falafel balls. They screwed up other orders as well. Rip off and small portions. I’ll spend the money for a cab and go to Greektown next time.

Staff is friendly, but food is horrible! The meat is hard and dry, Feta fries are burned and bland, grape leaves fall apart, are coated in a slimy bland sauce, and have zero flavor. Complete waste of money.

I really love the Greek salad here with lamb and beef meat. The pitas that come with the meals are warm and soft. They also have a rewards punch card that makes the 11^th meal free.

I was a little intimidated by the long line at first but the food made it worth the wait. The decorations were so cute and the lamb gyro pita was very authentic. The staff was very nice and I was happy to see they sold Greek chocolates. It was a great place to have lunch and escape the busy city life! Plus, I was happy to see some fellow Greeks while I was there!

Popular and quick service Greek during the downtown lunch hour.
With a line that was 20 deep when I arrived in, I thought this was going to be an adventure and a satisfying meal. The line moves fairly quickly, as the menu setup is simple. All the meats and salads are just scoop ready for the servers so you just go through the queue to order.
Options: Either a wrap or plate. With wrap — everything is wrapped up — sauces, hummus, veggies and meat. With the plate — everything is on a plate. Pretty simple eh?
A bit of a disappointment is that they don’t shave the gyro meat off the roasting spit or a freshly roasted sausage out of the broiler, but I get it… its lunch time — fast fast fast! I tried the hummus and the baba ganoush, which was lacking in flavor. The rice tasted like it was mass-​produced and out of a box, lacking much flavor. Gyro was just meh, but the sausage was a welcome surprise.
Fill-​your own fountain drink setup.
It was fairly easy to grab a table — as I think the traffic flows through nicely. Its spacious enough not to feel cramped at lunch. Overall — it was not what I expected.
For a quick meal at lunch whilst downtown — GRK Greek delivers as expected… Food quality meh (there are better)…but its efficient and I would say good value for the quantity of food you receive.

Overwhelming selection made it a little difficult to order something… and I’m still not entirely sure what on the menu is a side, as opposed to filling in a wrap… but whatever I ended up with tasted good.
What I ended up with was a gyro wrap (lamb) with… more or less everything in it. I think I asked for pickled something-​or-​other, baba ghanoush, red cabbage, tzatziki sauce and maybe falafel. It ran about $ 7.
It wasn’t spectacular, but the wrap was light and the gyro tasty. The many, many flavors within complemented each other pretty well, and overall I think it’s a good deal.
GRK isn’t the first place I’d go to in the loop for Mediterranean food, but it’s certainly not a bad choice.

Should have read my previous review before coming back. Rotisserie chicken is so dry and I really hope the sharp thing I just swallowed is a very well done piece of thin chicken. Not a fan and now I don’t feel that good… I should not have wasted my money or calories on this one.

Just ran in for a side salad. Got a small Greek. I asked for another olive and was told there’s be an extra charge. Ok, fine. I was asked if I wanted dressing. Well, of course. Got back to the office. No dressing. Not a yummy salad without dressing. Probably wouldn’t go back to try more.

Just finished eating a huge, delicious plate of food from here. The protons are generous. Rice is underseasoned but that’s what all the sauce and cheese is for. The pita I got was as big as my head. Reading some previous reviews I was worried about being charged extra for toppings, but I wasn’t. I received modest amount of onions, veggies, olives, lettuce and cheese all for under $ 9. It was a slow day so service was very quick. It’s right next to my work so I will be back.

Ordered the rotisserie chicken wrap with hummus, cucumber sauce, tomato/​cucumber salad, feta cheese, lettuce and a side of fries. $ 9 bucks and change.
The chicken is flavored well, kind of dried out though. I like the wrap itself — it’s tough and resilient similar to pita bread and never cracked or tore. The wrap held up well considering the moisture from the fillings.
The wrap is pretty large. I don’t think I needed the side of fries. They don’t cut the wrap in half. I cut it prior to eating.

It’s chipotle greek style! This is a great spot to pick up some quick fresh greek cuisine. They have more options then your standard fast food gyro on a pita. Also, really good place for gluten free dieters out there.
Always expect a long line during the lunch rush, but it’s worth it.

FRESH GREEK
I really think Chipotle has had an effect on the fast causal dinning experience. This place has taken the Chicago Style Gyro Sandwich to another level. Typical fast food gyros have one option and that’s a pita sandwich only. This place allows you to get a sandwich, salad or a plate. What I like about this place is all of the options you can pick to choose with your meal.
I decided to get my gyro as a salad. The guy grabbed romaine and I asked him for some spinach too. He looked at me like I wasn’t suppose to do that but he didn’t say no. I then had them add tomatoes, olives, red onion, spicy feta & cucumbers.
The menu board was a little confusing. I asked the guy what else I could get on the salad and he pointed at the board and said anything. I then said how about some hummus and he told me that would be an extra charge. That is where my confusion was. I told the guy not to worry about it and skipped that option.
I got the Greek Vinaigrette as a dressing. Then I saw the words spicy tahini and asked for a side of that. I love spicy. I was not a fan of the vinaigrette because it was a little bland. Instead I used the spicy tahini as a light dressing. It was amazing. There was also a pita on the side but I didn’t eat that because I was trying to eat light and skip the carbs.
I really liked this place. I loved having all of the fresh options and customization when making your food. I do wish the board was a little more descriptive. I was confused just looking up at the menu and the staff really did not take any time to explain it to me. They kind of stared at us and kept talking to each other. I kind of wished they would have asked if we needed help or walked us through the menu. Besides the lack of customer service the food was delicious and fresh. I will come back and next time I should be a pro at picking my food items off the menu.
There are a few tables outside but you will not be in the sun. Yeah the tall buildings make a lot of shade. There are plenty of seats inside and the room is comfortable with nice booths. So if you are downtown and looking for a fresh Greek option then this is the place. You can grab your food fast and the way you want. This is the new way to eat in a fast causal setting in the city.
