This place was great! Close to many of the airport hotels. I got the gyro plate and falafel. The servings were very generous and well worth the price. Staff was very friendly. Would totally recommend this place for a quick and great Greek bite!

Great food. Top tier service. Double the value versus any other restaurant in the area. Ask for their baklava!!!

I had a Mediterranean salad for lunch. Excellent. Crisp greens. Small humus, a few chicken kabobs, some gyros, chopped cucumber, tomato and red onion. Kalamata olives, cheese. Hit the spot. Although this is largely a take out place, there's a small indoor dining area and a small patio. Recommend

I've been to this restaurant once before but I have never reviewed it. Harbor Greek Cafe is near the airport on Harbor Drive. They have beautiful paintings lining their hallway walls in the back so I highly recommend you go see those as well. The food is good they have all different kinds of kabobs, baba ghanoush, hummus and other Greek favorites. A very nice light meal that's great for lunch. They have a cute little patio where you can sit outside and enjoy the palm trees. It's a great place to pick up a light lunch.

Absolute hidden gem. Food was very fresh and good portions! Ordered the chicken and beef kabob plate which was the move. Meats were not overly salty, but seasoned very well, rice was great and the salad is fantastic — if you’ve been to the Mediterranean, this will bring you right back. Restaurant was clean and nice ambiance, staff was very friendly and helpful — worth the trip!

We originally weren't sure if our takeout order of Falafels, Roasted Chicken and Gyro Sandwiches would be good to go but surprise! They were outstanding! We'd order again but we're from out of state. Next time!

Amazing value for the fresh Greek gyro platyer. Spoke with the owner and he was both warm and knowledgeable on the cuisine. 100% would come again. Try the baklava!!!

Chicken pita is - great cost/taste ratio (10). Chicken is super moist, though it is a little bland if eating alone, but quite good once you add sauce. It is a little on the slow side. Does the job, at a good price, hence the 5 stars.
