Reviews For Saloniki Greek

Saloniki Greek is one of my go-to spots for fresh, flavorful Mediterranean food. The portions are generous, the ingredients are always fresh, and everything—from the pita to the protein—is delicious. What makes it even better for students is that they offer free French fries for MIT students with a valid student ID! It’s a small gesture that makes a big difference, especially on a student budget.

Great, easy, authentic bites. Countertop order and community seating place. Line was long but they got through the line fairly fast. I got the chicken with the special sauce, the haloumi, and pita with dips. The pita was a lot bigger than I thought it would be and seems like it would be enough for one person's lunch or shared between two. The haloumi was delicious and was a great snack especially when I made a sandwich with the pita and dips. The gyro was very tasty andi could have gone back for another just to keep the flavour train going. It gets busy so seating gets tough but there are pleanty of nearby benches.

Easily one of my favorite spots for fresh and flavorful Mediterranean food. The service is always top-notch, and the general manager, Guy, does an amazing job making everyone feel welcome—he’s always friendly and ensures everything runs smoothly. My go-to dish is the souvlaki chicken, and it’s always perfectly grilled, juicy, and packed with flavor. The warm pita and delicious sauces make every bite even better. The atmosphere is inviting, whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout. The portion sizes are generous, and the quality is consistently excellent. It’s clear that the team here takes pride in their food and service. If you’re looking for authentic Greek cuisine with great hospitality, Saloniki Greek is the place to go!

We had the absolute best experience at this Saloniki. The food was delicious. We had some fro-yo topped with pistachios and caramel. The presentation was beautiful, the serving size was generous but not excessive, and the toppings paired well with the tart base– flavorful and not too sweet. We also took some chicken souvlaki skewers to go, and at the suggestion of Guy, the manager, reheated them in the air fryer. They were very flavorful, bite size pieces, a good mix of tender dark meat and white meat. Beyond the food, what really stood out was the service. In particular, Guy went above and beyond. He was super attentive and friendly, came and chatted with us and checked in on how we were doing. It was approaching closing time, and he was bringing in the tables and chairs from outside, but went out of his way to leave one table outside for us to sit and finish enjoying our food. It is clear that he and the rest of the staff care deeply about both serving high quality food, and providing customers with a positive dining experience. Conveniently located just across the bridge from the esplanade, this is a great spot for anyone looking to cool down and enjoy a treat or a nutritious meal after spending some hours in the sun this summer. Good food, impeccable vibes– highly recommend this Saloniki location! - Sabina and Colin

I love this location of Saloniki! The food is pretty standard across locations, but the service here is great and the atmosphere is always vibrant! The grilled chicken pita is my go to, it has great flavor and the portion size is filling.

Totally recommend this place to anyone nearby, very student and visitor friendly! Everything is super fresh and you can tell they care about quality. The service is always fast and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. I would definitely recommend the Village salad for a refreshing meal or one of the spreads. The fries are also super good and are made with better quality ingredients than typical. For dessert, definitely go for the frozen yogurt or a dubai chocolate cookie!
