Title: A Unique Dining Experience at Pete the Greek
On a quiet Sunday in late October, my wife and I visited Pete the Greek in Old Bethpage. Our anticipation for a traditional Greek dining experience met with a different reality. The restaurant's setting in a shopping strip brought a distinctive touch.
The restaurant's ambiance diverged from the usual Greek-themed decor, presenting a more straightforward, deli-style environment. This setting, while different from what we expected, had its appeal. The ordering process was direct, with customers voicing their choices in an open, bustling atmosphere.
Regarding the food, there was a mix-up with our soup order, where we received Lentil Soup instead of Chicken Lemon Soup. Although not what we initially wanted, the lentil soup was palatable with its subtle flavors. While satisfactorily prepared, the falafel didn't fully capture the rich, herby flavors typical of Mediterranean cuisine. The chicken shawarma was commendable for its well-seasoned, tender meat, offering a taste closer to traditional Greek fare. Though lacking the rich, honeyed flavor we've relished in other Greek establishments, the baklava was still a decent dessert.
We rate Pete the Greek four stars. This rating reflects our appreciation for the restaurant's unique approach to Greek dining and its adequate culinary offerings, balanced against the areas where it diverged from our expectations of traditional Greek cuisine and ambiance.
some of the best food in the area! I'm definitely a repeat customer although I need to try some other dishes. I have no doubt that it will all be as delicious as the chicken and beef and lamb souvlaki platters.
We ordered the family meal. Lamb/beef gyro and chicken ๐ solvouki. There was a ton of food . Ordered a piece of spinach pie also which also was a huge piece and very delicious. I highly reccomend
Great food - an absolute local gem. Owned by a local family, so eating here supports our neighborhood. It also is not extremely expensive, and the food quality is fantastic. The lemon potatoes, ooooh man!
I've been coming here for 3 years now and it is always fresh and delicious. More than reasonable prices for the portions and freshness. Service is always top notch. If you're in the area and haven't tried you're missing out.
This place is definitely a hidden gem!! Friendly staff. Super fresh delicious food. Diverse menu fairly priced. Great hours!
Called Pete The Greek and ordered my sisterโs family food from here. Gus was beyond friendly and helpful and food arrived literally the minute it was supposed to! A+ experience!
Really good take out, been to a number of their locations and will be back in thw future.
Pete the Greek was fantastic. I visited here a few weeks ago for lunch around 11:30. The food was fresh, prepared well and tasty. We discovered it after driving by looking for a quick lunch. It was a great decision. It took a little long to get my food compared my companions but it was worth it the wait. I recommend this place.

I live in south Wantagh and I will drive to Old Bethpage for gyros from Pete the Greek! Best gyro I ever had while at a friend's house in Plainview. Just by the weight of it I knew it would be good. Best tzakziki (I probably spelled that wrong lol) sauce too. Can't wait to get another gyro.
Great food, friendly service, cash discount, quality ingredients, generous portions, good lunch special. Definitely going back.
Please, please support this establishment. Not only is the food absolutely amazing, but it was also so reasonably priced. The portions are huge!!! I ordered two family meals for my son's family party and everyone raved about it. We had so much food with plenty left over.
Gus helped me put the order together, but everyone that I dealt with, including the delivery guy was absolutely amazing.
Can't wait to order from them again!!
Good combo platter with two choices of meat, salad and a choice of a side. I picked the pork gyro meat along with the lamb beef gyro. I choose the Quinoa as a side and was delicious as well as healthy. It had cranberries just like I like it. So if looking for a place with healthy choices in a fast food place this is definitely one.
The choice of their Shirasha yogurt sauce was excellent along their pork spiced gyro.
I was given their dessert pastry and it was filled with full nuts instead of the littles once is used to, not overly sweet , and the hint of cinnamon hit gave it and spices gave it a warm welcome to my taste buds.
Iโm definitely returning with family and friends to get a second helping to the Quinoa and Shirasha yogurt sauce.
Consistently great food and service. The team at this location always goes above and beyond. Thank you for all the great lunches!
I've been raving about Pete the Greek since Sunday 10/11/2020. I haven't had the liberty of having an authentic Gyro since the 80's. ( Souvlaki on 8th Ave , Time Square) . Now, I know that my search is done. What a Gyro!!!๐ฏ๐, If you're seeking any original GREEK food ..Pete the Greek is the place!! # PleasedCustomerSendingKudosFromBrookyn,N.Y.๐๐
I never write reviews. Wow this was great food. We picked up. Ordered a chicken gyro, a beef/lamb gyro and falafels. It was all amazing with good portions. Can't wait to order again.
The food is just amazing. I wrote a great review a few months ago and have ordered since then but need to tell you this is the place to go or order from for the best Greek food around. Consistently excellent. My favorite. ๐ yummy ๐. I promise you will love ๐ it.
