Since I've moved to Florida, this is probably in my top 3 restaurants in the State College area that I miss. Would absolutely recommend to everyone. I'm not usually a lamb fan, but their lab kebabs are out of this world.
The food was delicious. Our server was courteous and quick. The ambiance was great. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an awesome dinner. The wine was tasty, but when they say sweet, they mean it.

We ate there last night for the first time. Such friendly people! The restaurant was extremely clean and the best part was the food was delicious! Their Greek salad was probably the best I’ve ever had (the Greek salad dressing was THE best and I wish I had remembered to buy some to take home). We live out of state or this place would be a regular on our list. We’ll for sure be back next time we’re in town!
Excellent food and reasonably priced! Highly recommend!
The food and atmosphere is fabulous! You must go on a night they have belly dancing. And the Baklava Cheesecake is out of this world! �
We tried a variety of the dishes and everything was fantastic. The saganaki is a must have!!
Great experience food was delicious and the wait staff was helpful explaining the different dishes.
The food is very good.. best baklava I've ever eaten!
Excellent food, great service and a the Baklava Cheesecake was awesome. My wife & I will definitely be back!

Good food, good service, good prices and you can take your own wine.
I am a vegetarian and my options here are numerous and scrumptious! Plus love the wall mural that looks like we are looking over the caldera in Santorini!
The quality of the food has never disappointed. One of the best places in State College.
The food was great and the service will not disappoint. Definitely will come back.

Food is very tasty and fresh. I especially like the salads. Fries are excellent, and lamb gyro is great. Restaurant is clean, and service is friendly. Belly dancing adds an interesting touch....
Great Greek food. Everything is good. My daughter loves the Greek pasta. Remember it is only open for dinner Monday thru Saturday. Located in the parking lot behind the North Atherton Waffle Shop.
I go here all the time, and I love it. Fantastic food, great service, very pleasant atmosphere.
Enjoyed the experience. We went there with friends after they changed from fast food to table service. The food was OK Greek.....not the Santorini Greek that my wife and I enjoy with our friends from Athens.....however.....with a little practice.....it may very well become actually pretty good. I will go back.....but I would like to see some more Greek dishes....tomato balls, fava, etc. on the menu. And.....how in the world can a Greek restaurant ever be BYOB ??? Santorini wine is sooooooooooooooooo wonderful !!!!!
This was our first time at The Greek for dinner on the recommendation of a friend. We had a delicious dinner that started with a glass of the chardonnay from University Wine Company and the grilled calamari and three dip appetizer. The three dips were all good and the calamari in the garlicky butter marinade was really good. We both had the lamb kabobs for dinner with veggies over orzo. The lamb was prepared beautifully at medium rare like we asked for. For dessert we had the chocolate cake which was delicious but a bit to much after so much good food so we took most of it home. The staff was friendly and we had a great first visit. We will be back for sure.
I went there during Christmas holidays and the decorations over the restaurant is pretty good. Besides, the service is it is excellent as well. However, I‘m not a fan of Greek food so that’s reason why I think the cream is so strong and the cuisines are not as tasty as I think. In short, I still think it’s a good place for hanging out dinner though.
I had to Google the term BYOB (Bring your own bottle) to realise such a thing exists. Anyway, we did not take our own bottle. They have a separate counter that is managed separately by a company called University Wine Company. We ended up ordering 2 bottles of Moscato. The really cool part is that the bottle is sold at the same price listed on the website ($16) which I thought was pretty incredible.
Food wise, I went for the chicken soup. A bit salty for my taste. But their appetiser and the gyros were delicious.
My son ordered the classic Moussaka which was great.
The place was relatively empty when we visited. They usually fill up during the weekend.
Overall, a great dining experience.
Highly Recommended.
Grabbed lamb chops with tomato basil soup as a side. It was excellent. No typical lamb smell at all. A bit expensive but certainly worth it.
The inside of this restaurant is beautiful!! The staff is friendly, the space is clean and bright, and the food was delicious.
We enjoyed gyros and platters and were completely satisfied. The prices are very fair for the freshness and quality of the food.
I will definitely come back and I would recommend this place to everyone!
We were here for a community fundraiser for The Jared Box Project!
The Greek is a unique type of restaurant, the only Greek restaurant that I know of in State College. Atmosphere is wonderful, with art of Ancient Greece. I would highly recommend any of the Gyros, along with the Tzatziki Sauce and Pita Bread.
Had reservations after graduation on Saturday evening. Parking was so convenient. Away from the crowds. Was greeted promptly and seated right away in a beautiful second floor table. Excellent service. BYOB is great. Appetizers were delicious. Smaller portion entrees were fun to share. Will book next year for our other daughter's graduation from Penn State. We did feel bad that they close at 9pm because we could have easily sat for another hour as our seating was at 7:30pm.
First experience at The Greek was amazing! My wife and I love Greek food and The Greek didn’t disappoint. Friendly staff, fast service, nice environment, and great food…couldn’t ask for more. Dolmades were great, tomato basil soup was some of the best I’ve ever had, and the lamb kebabs were tender and the dish they were served in was great. My wife and I will be returning next time with our kids. A+
