North Kansas City Cafe

Great place for lunch on a cold day! They have good selections of Greek and non-​Greek options. Specially homemade spanikopita are the best!

soo so great! Just passing through the town and found it. Homemade comfort Greek foods. Talked with the owner for a little bit, everyone was so friendly and hospitable! Will definitely come back if in town again.

I believe in dining locally when possible. This café is unique and the staff is friEndly. If you like Greek or just wanna try something new, this is the place to be!

The owner is so attentive and wants to make sure you have a great experience, I love locally owned restaurants like this!
Servings are plentiful and delicious, wonderful gyros & love the Tzakiki sauce!

You have to try this place! Moe puts love into his food & he goes out of his way to make customers happy. He makes a great mixed kabob plate with perfectly seasoned and grilled lamb, chicken, beef, and gyro meat. Served with fresh salad, homemade dressing and topped with mango.
Just found his place — already been a few times & I’ll go back again when I’m in the neighborhood. Been great every time.

The owners are so friendly! Husband and wife, wife serves and husband cooks. Fun old TWA décor, quick and yummy Mediterranean food.

While on business in the area, my colleagues and I were looking for a place to have lunch before our business meeting. Most of the places in the area were either sports bars or pub type places, so this little place was a gem.
Family owned and operated, the owner came to our table to tell us his story of his career with TWA (memorabilia was tastefully scattered along the walls). Customer service came first as you can tell from the service and the joyful anecdotes.
Great family atmosphere and they served much more than just Mediterranean and Greek. I had probably the best and freshest Reuben sandwich I’ve ever had. the Hummus and pita bread was definitely home made.
excellent pricing.

My family and I have eaten lunch here a few times. We always had great personable service. Even a few desserts comped. A great family experience. At least one of the owners will come check on you.
They have an American menu and a great Greek menu. I discovered it when searching for a gyro. Would recommend it to anybody who in the area.

Absolutely loved it first time here! We had the gyro omg great and the customer service excellent I will definitely be back if your ever in the area it’s a must!

In the heart of North Kansas City, yes the town, not Kansas City North the location. Anyway, you can sit outside if it’s nice and do a bit of people watching — which is typically great given the prime location.
The décor is decidedly TWA, but again not a problem if you sit outside. The owner is the Chef and the staff is very friendly.
We’ve been here a couple of times and the appetizer sampler is very good. I’ve heard from some of my companions (ok one) that they have the best dolma around — not sure I agree, but it is tasty!
The gyro meat is very good, the chicken skewers were good too, but the steak was a bit tough. We also had some homemade pecan sandies for desert — that was great. Overall, a very good Mediterranean restaurant with nicely done food, good flavor abd I highly recommend!

This is the second time I have been here for lunch with my mom, who lives in NKC. It is a quiet little café that offers good Greek food at reasonable prices. We had previously enjoyed the Greek salad so we ordered it again. We had also previously enjoyed the Greek grilled cheese, which is made on pita bread — genius! On this visit the salad came out and was prepared with leaf lettuce instead of romaine (there is nothing similar in these two lettuces, so don’t even try to fool me). The salad also had just 2 olives in it and a scant few onion slices and tomato. When I mentioned it to the server she commented that the chef had purchased leaf lettuce instead of romaine at the market because it was cheaper and that a new person was preparing the salads!
The owner came out to our table and sat down and talked to us and apologized for the food. He was very genuine and appreciative of our business and our comments. It really is nice to have a restaurant owner who understands the importance of his customers.
The café is simple inside, and also has a nice outdoor seating area to enjoy in the warmer weather. They offer free drinks to seniors too! We will definitely patronize the North Kansas City Café again.

The meat sampler platter is fantastic! Weird hours, but if you get the chance, enjoy some fantastic food hidden away in downtown Northtown.

This was some of the BEST food I have had from the greek menu. I will absolutely be going back, and I will be recommending it to others in the area. I have been on a mission to find good lunch spots in NKC on days when I don’t want to eat at home. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is that I looked at the menu online, then went in, and my bill was different from both the menus (online and there). I didn’t say anything because it was only the difference of $ 1.00 or so, but I just thought it was a little odd. All in all, great food, good location, friendly staff!

Ate here for the first time today on a friend’s recommendation… wonderful! I was in Greece last year and have been craving good Greek food ever since, and I’ve finally found it. Plus, the owner is a darling man. Glad to have supported this local business today, and I will be back soon!

Excellent food and great service. Highly recommend. Had the chop steak burger and fries. Meat was seasoned very well. Didn’t need condiments on it. Ate it just as it came to the table. Great atmosphere if you love planes. Lots of TWA memorabilia. Fun to look at.

The only reason I didn’t give this a five star is because I haven’t had any authentic gyros in my time so I can’t say if this is truly good by that standard. However, the traditional gyro that I got was perfect! I ordered it with fries, which was the perfect complement for my fatty food craving.
The staff was also extremely friendly. I noticed that they also have fresh squeezed lemonade, which I would have tried but I was rushing for lunch so I didn’t get a chance to get some. I will definitely be back to try that and something else on their menu!

This is an interesting place where the menu doesn’t match the décor but everything is great. Half Greek Half Dinner food allows something for everyone. The Gyro is wonderful.

Amazing food and the staff is so friendly! They got us in and out quickly for lunch, but made sure to make the lunch personalized and all of them talked to us. Great all around experience, can’t wait to come back. Best lamb gyro I’ve ever had!

I was excited to discover, from reading reviews on Unilocal,that there was a place serving Greek food nearby. I ran to North Kansas City Café over lunch on a work day. I looked up their menu online and called in my order so it would be ready. Unfortunately, it wasn’t ready or even started when I got to the Café.
That would be my single complaint about this place — I waited for a really long time on a vegetarian gyro and fries.
But, the people were friendly. A waiter brought me a soda while I was waiting. The waitresses kept giving me updates and checking on me. The cook/​owner came out and asked me if I wanted some additions to the sandwich.
The veggie gyro was tasty, with juicy mushrooms and fresh, soft pita. I usually love cucumber sauce, but theirs was just average. I will go back to try their other Greek menu items though. It’s a good addition to the ethnic food mix in the area.

I’ve tried nearly every Greek place in the city, and this is my new favorite. The prices are reasonable and the service was excellent. The waitress came by our table numerous times to check and make sure everything was good.
The restaurant had a lot of personality. It’s not the traditional Middle Eastern décor you might expect, but the TWA memorabilia is really neat.
I ordered a vegetarian plate with a side of hummus, and there was way more food than I could possibly eat. The «side salad» was definitely a whole meal salad.
I’ll definitely be back. My only complaint is that they’re not open for dinner — I would make this a date night rotation if it was.
