If you ask me, the Greek Corner puts out some of the best Greek food on the island for the best price. Honestly, there’s not a lot to choose from. I think there’s more Indian restaurants here than Greek restaurants and if I’m correct then that’s pretty freakin depressing.. The ones I can think of off the top of my head are, Olive Tree, The Fat Greek, and then some random stands here and there.

 

This place looks like a Greek restaurant had sex with a pizza restaurant.

 

At this place a whole combo meal is large enough for two. Ray and I got the Lamb Soulvaki, $11.95. What a deal. As you can see it was a combo of grilled chunks of lamb marinated in special spicesĀ  and served with Greek salad, basamati rice and pita bread. Everything was pleasantly flavorful, just as I had remembered.

 

At only .75 cents we could afford to order more pita bread.

 

I haven’t had the chance to try the gyros here, but only because the combo plates are such a steal that I always end up getting those instead. But I did get a chance to skim the menu and this place definitely beats The Fat Greek and Olive Tree if your looking for a bargain. All of their gyros are $6.95, Greek Salad is $6.95 and there’s plenty of vegetarian options. Here’s a look at their menu if you want to check it out.

I’m definitely a fan of this place. If you do decide to take a visit here there’s parking to side of the place, your right side if your facing the building, just drive up the ramp. It’s free with validation. The first time I came here I ended up parking in the parking lot at the corner and that cost me five bucks. Don’t park there, it’s slightly further and cost money.

The Greek Corner is a cute little cafe close to the University. From my experience, the closer to the college means the cheaper the food. This place had good service, nice atmosphere and fair prices with hefty portions. Gyro sandwiches were $5.96, the most expensive salad was $6.95, appetizers were affordable and didn’t go over $6.00. I ordered hommos, for $4.95 and that’s the way it was spelled on the menu. I’ve always seen it spelled hummus but hommos is a little more entertaining to say. It was a little oily but still delicious and came with a pita bread cut into four pieces. The pita bread was good but was hot like it was microwaved rather than hot like it was fresh. There wasn’t enough bread and we had to order more for .75 cents. I didn’t mind because they really gave generous portions of hommos. Yes, hommos is definitely more amusing to say, even if it is pronounce hummus. I prefer homos. The hommos was fantastic but a bit greasy. There’s just so much hommos, don’t you think? Alright, let us move on.

I also ordered a Mixed Plate. It was a nice variety of gyros beef and lamb topped with Tzatzif, (I don’t know what that is either), along with marinated boneless chicken baked in slow fire, and topped with a garlic mayo sauce, served with a Greek salad and pita bread. All for the special price of $10.95. Ray and I shared it and it was more than plenty. Everything was scrumptious. I definitely will be back.
