My family and I had a lovely meal here together. We had gyros that were juicy, flavorful, and delicious. Large portions but fairly priced, free refills on drinks, and delightful service. Charming place, great experience.
Local gem. Huge portions and cheap, while having delicious food? Cant beat that. My friend Chris eats here almost every day for lunch. Plenty of vegetarian and fish dishes as well!
The staff was so friendly. Food was great! I cant wait to go back.
This evening I had dinner for the first - but definitely not the last - time at Vasilis Greek Cuisine. It was really an enjoyable experience.I started with a Mediterranean salad. It was fine, and certainly very generous, but not out of the ordinary. If youre planning on having a dinner entrée with a side as well, I dont recommend adding on one of their large salads. Theyre very large, and even I, with a Santa-sized appetite, ended up with more than I needed.From there on, everything was glorious. The lemon-based chicken soup was creamy and really delicious, and very filling in its own right. Served nice and hot, I should add. Not tepid, as too often happens in some restaurants.Then the masterpiece: pastitsio. Imagine the best lasagna youve ever had, and then add a few extra flavors, just to make it really intriguing. I ate it slowly, in part because the large salad and rich soup had already filled me, but mostly because I wanted to linger over and enjoy every bite. A real masterpiece.Add to that friendly but not obtrusive service, and you have one very enjoyable dining experience.Go! Youll not regret it.
VASILI’s Is the best Greek restaurant I’ve tried in NE Ohio!!! Delicious food, friendly service, large menu, generous portions, reasonable prices, and clean. Wish I found it years ago!!!
Love this place! Family owned. Great food and cool baby that will make cool baby noises as you eat. If you wave at the baby, the baby will wave at you!
While the Mousaka was average, the Dolmades were spectacular! The Baklava ice cream truffles were super tasty as well. Will come back!
Great typical Greek food. Quite inexpensive. It is one of our favorites.
Honestly, the best Greek food Ive had in ages. Well definitely be back!
Very nice! Very clean! Very respectful!Great gyro! My husband gets a gyro I never get them because I had a taste of one and didnt like it WELL today was different I tried his from Vasilis and I must confess we turned around and ordered another one this place has the best gyro and only gyro I have ever liked. Next time I will order light sauce but these things are huge!Picture is of mine I ordered no tomato!Definitely will be back!
Went there with a friend and all I have to say is Ive been thinking about going back ever since. The food was amazing The waitress and older lady was super sweet had that mom and pop diner feel. Which those are my favorite kinds of places. Whoever the cook is does everything homemade and it is out of this world.
My wife and I stopped here for lunch. They really know how to do authentic Greek flavor . Great and quick customer service.
Best Greek food Ive ever tried. Big portions and so fresh. Great people.
Absolutely delicious authentic Greek food! All made in house. We are traveling and we’re lucky enough to stumble upon Vasili’s Greek Cuisine. Can’t rant and rave enough about this place. Do yourself a favor and eat here. You won’t regret it.
Excellent food! Lovely staff! Can’t wait to go back!!
OK... The spankopita was incredible. Tyropita... Oh my God... The grape leaves (DOLANTHES) , avgolemono, the baklava was to die for.For those of you who saw when Harry met Sally... I had what she was having... And I wasnt faking it! Amazing food! Lovely staff, great service. You cannot do better!!!! Anywhere except maybe Greece.
Great authentic Greek at a reasonable price. I love it!
The waitress was so nice the cook is awsome food is awsome I highly recommend
We had a delicious Greek salad that was huge and a traditional gyro that was excellent, and my mom thought the cheesecake was the best shes ever had. The service was friendly and fast.
Love this place. Been eating a lot of salads lately, and just had the best one in a long time. Dont let the cute old lady fool ya: shes tough as she is accommodating. Good stuff. I eat a keto diet these days and just about anything there can be keto friendly. If you have no restrictions, try the deserts as well. One of my new favorite places to eat. You can sit next to a fish tank and eat. Its a salt water tank, which arent too common these days. You might even find Nemo. Simple, pleasant, tasty. Reasonable prices too. I got a giant salad with tons of meat for $10. Worth a try if you like Greek or even just fresh healthy food in general.
Fast, friendly and efficient service. Independently owned. Good place for a quick bite to eat, in or take away. We had the gyros. Simple, tasty and priced quite reasonably.
Very friendly staff and great food will definitely be back when were in the area.anyone near there needs to eat there.
Fresh delicious food, generous portions and friendly service, what more can you ask for? We will definitely go back.
Just had lamb shanks dinner with the small Greek salad. Fabulous! Its a small place but everything Ive eaten there has been outstanding. Quality you would find in a fine Greek restaurant.
Currently eating take out from here for the first time, and its soo good! Especially for the very modest prices. Staff was very friendly too. Ill definitely be going back again soon :)
This is hidden gem of the North Akron Valley. If youre not sure youll like Greek food order the stir fry. The Gyro meat was amazing. Very clean and the nicest people youll meet anywhere. They also offer to go orders.
Delicious food and great prices. Have enjoyed a healthy hearty option for takeout on weeknights when not cooking. Very nice people as well :)
We love this place! I highly recommend checking it out at least once. We go back over and over and the food is always good, the staff always friendly, and dont even get me started on the desserts! If youre in the area and you like Greek food, you will love this place!
The food here was absolutely amazing and tasty! Im mad at myself for not coming here sooner. The staff was very attentive and kind. I cant wait to go back.
Absolutely the best gyro Ive ever eaten! Love this place, but not the server. She acted like she really hated her job. 5 stars to the place, 1 star to the server.
I had the lentil soup and shrimp santorini which were both great, and from what my colleagues relayed, the gyros were too. A perennial favorite in the Akron dining scene. Service is fast and efficient. And when you see the restaurants namesake over the counter in the kitchen area preparing your dishes, you know its homemade.
I have been wanting to try this place for a while. Man, am I sure glad I did! Best Gyro I have ever had! The prices are outstanding and portions are huge! I cant wait to go back and sample more of the menu! Its a must try!
Thank you Chef for your authentic cuisine. The baklava is the best I have enjoyed, will you share the recipe?!?
I wanted a gyro platter thinking I would get a good portion of gyro meat. I even asked for extra meat with designs of perhaps taking some home for lunch and I did not care about the extra charge. The waitress suggested I get a deconstructed gyro, meaning vegetables and meat with pita bread on the side. What I received was a skimpy amount of meat and one pita. I guess the days of takeout at Doubletime are gone.
If you love greek food this place is a must try. I always start off with the saganaki personally. Its a cheese that has a very rich flavor, and they come to your table and light it on fire! Every entree Ive tried here the meat has always been cooked to perfection. I dont even like chicken that much, and I loved the chicken salad! The meat is never dry, and the service is fast.
We were looking for something new. Used Google maps to find something near where we were. Found this gem! We had the flaming cheese! It was delicious. I cant remember the proper name. I had a Gyro salad and my husband had the shrimp stir fry. Both were yummy. Clean and a friendly staff. Baklava for dessert was FABULOUS. I cant wait to visit again.
Food is amazing and the staff is super friendly, polite and, efficient. However we went during a heat wave and the AC was unable to keep the building comfortable. I wasnt able to finish eating my meal because it was so unbearable. So during summer months we will be ordering takeout from now on.
My family and I are fans of this place. The food is consistently good and the service cant be faulted. The authentic gyro is delicious and they have the best tzatziki sauce Ive ever had.
I have been eating here since the restaurant opened. The food is fantastic and the staff is friendly and courteous. Most importantly, their drink refill game is on point! Its a home cooked meal when youre away from home.
Best gyro Ive had in Ohio. Taste like Im eating in Chicago. The baklava was excellent of course. Staff was friendly. Anytime family is in town we will be going to Vasilis. Support local businesses
The biggest and best gyros since the Double Time closed! Soft warm pita and the meat is fresh and tender and full of flavor. I love the stuffed grape leaves as well. friendly staff and nice homey atmosphere.
The menu here includes a lot of Greek classics, and I dont know or have knowledge of many of them. I do know that I love their gyro meat here. It is so beautifully spiced for my taste.
I’ve been to Greece, and several Greek restaurants in the states, and this one is by far my favorite. They are authentic and the food is really good. Best stuffed grapes leaves I’ve ever had! Come here, you won’t be disappointed!
The food was so bad the last time we went, my husband became violently ill and had to leave and that was just from the appetizers. I still was forced to pay the $75 bill. This quality of food has gone down hill tremendously since we were there last. Dont think we will be going back. We used to love coming here. Such a shame.
Best Gyros in Northeast Ohio. Pitas are so fresh and the fries are fresh cut. Owners and employees are very pleasant.
Very reasonable prices and generous portions. Delicious, tasty gyro! Enjoyed the sampler platter ($9.99) tremendously. Had enough meat left over for a second gyro.
Excellent service and all the food was delicious! A true hidden gem run by lovely people.
Greek food is REALLY good. I wish we had more Greek people in this country. There should be a Greek restaurant on every corner.For only $10, I received a great platter. Pita, gyro meat, TZATSIKI, lentil soup, spanakopita, grape leaves, and something else. Very filling and balanced.My father got a gyro for $6.49, it was VERY filling and tasty.I enjoyed the Greek music playing on the speakers as well.
The food here is amazing. When I first found out about this place I was getting take out about twice a week. I recommend the gyro stir fry!
Food is always amazing! And great price too!
Delicious Greek food. The Olympian Platter and the Gyros are fresh. :) 5 Stars all the way. Plus their lemon chicken rice soup is a must!
Took a chance on this place and I am beyond happy that I did. By far the best Greek food that Ive had in Akron.
Excellent food. I drove 40 minutes for their chicken wrap. Great service. A family business and it shows that they love what they do !!!
Yummy Greek food. Nice salads and huge gyros, calamari was delicious 😋
Delicious Gyros! So fresh, delicious flavors, and super generous portions for the price. Friendly service and very clean establishment. Highly recommend!!
Vasilis, a taste of the old country!This is one of my favorite little greek restaurants in the Akron area. Prices here are very reasonable ($6-9 for an entree) and their menu has plenty of choices for even the most picky of eaters.The restaurant is located down in the valley and is easily accessible for wheelchairs if necessary. Vasilis looks like your standard diner, but with a hint of Greece. The decor is not fancy, nor are the clients, so no need to put on your Sunday finest to feel at home here. The staff are friendly and Vasili makes everything from scratch and can usually be seen running around the kitchen, although sometimes he serves as well! He always is cheerful and friendly!Their spanikopita is fantastic, but their home made lentil soup is the best around....I could eat this stuff every day! I love to get their greek chicken salad which has a TON of thinly sliced and well seasoned chicken on it! it doesnt look like a lot on the plate, but you will definitely be full when you leave Vasilis!Oh! and dont forget to save room for desert! their Baklava is to die for!
A very nice little local restaurant. The Gyro and the Hummus were just amazing. It is a very authentic place for Gyro and probably the most authentic so far for me. I am a Gyro lover and appreciate a nice place that serves an authentic Gyro.
There are few good Greek Restaurants this area. Vasillis fills or need for honest Greek food. The prices are reasonable and the service is good. It has a sure down restaurant feel. It is not fast food.
Still on top, scallops were perfect and as starter i had homemade chips which was also very good and hige portion. Service is perfect and prices are average (but with very good quality / price) You can go here !
Wonderful food, fresh coffee, fast service. Even gave us drink refills to go. Great casual date night for my husband and I. I will go back just for he baklava!
Gyro Supreme!!! Always look at the menu, never get anything else! Sooo good, sooo big! They’ll have to roll you out! There’s no better gyro around. Love this place!!
One barbeque gyro = two meals for me. Inexpensive, tasty and fast service. They even grilled the onions per my request.
The food was excellent. Generous portions and fresh food. The waitress was prompt and very friendly. New favorite Greek restaurant.
Great service and terrific gyros
They receive a 5 star review from me based on the service, quality and taste of their food. They flat out have the best Greek food in Akron. Great food and great prices. I just wished I lived a little closer.
Great food, personable staff
The food is great, the service is nice, and very fast! They don’t skimp on anything when it comes to their gyros. They’re always a hit.
Literally just finished eating a gyro here and it was AMAZING! Im a big guy so I can eat quite a bit. I finished the gyro but I am stuffed. Vasilis just found themselves a repeat customer!
Very clean establishment the server was very nice gyros were amazing will recommend to others
This place legitimately has the best Greek food!! I would give more stars if I could!
Vasilis always has great food for a good price. The staff are quick and friendly, and the interior is clean and comfortable. I go every so often and its always great.
The food was so delicious, the staff super friendly & social safety measures were in place. So happy to be out & about!

2022-04-19The aroma of delicious Greek food brought us in, and Im glad we stopped!We started with the Tzatziki and Pita plate, which was a delicious and well presented appetizer to get started with. Then we had the Gyro Stir Fry, which is a combination Ive never seen before (also delicious), the Authentic Gyro, and the Mezedakia Platter. Everything was fantastic, portions were good, and prices were reasonable. The Avgolemono soup and the side salad were also top notch.

2021-07-07Wow! What a gem! Guys, this place is amazing! Everything is flavorful and light, extremely well presented, and there is SO MUCH FOOD! How can you save room for dessert! I guess we gotta come back!!!! Ask for Kim, she’s fun and will take care of you!

2022-04-19Delicious food, filling gyros and excellent tiropitas. Attentive waitstaff, cant wait to go back

2022-05-23The server was excellent! Food was tasty. Lady with blonde hair, I think one of the owners wife, was very rude. Did not speak when spoken to. Not the way the run a business. You want to make customers feel comfortable, not like you dont want them to be there! Needs a change of attitude 🙄

2022-04-16Ive been craving a real Greek Salad since I visited Crete, and I am always let down. Their Horiatiki Salad did the trick! Vasilis is missing barely rusks, but the flavor and everything else is on point! Service is great and the staff are always friendly! Prices are pretty fair and Ive never left hungry.

2022-04-21Love this place and dine here frequently. Its very casual and friendly. Food is delicious and portions are large. I have also ordered the party trays for large gatherings and you get plenty. I highly recommend this place and am glad to have a Greek option nearby.

2022-03-26Such amazing food! Ordered takeout last night and got the large Greek salad with chicken and the hummus, And ordered a few gyros also! The chicken on the salad was some of the best chicken I’ve had from a takeout restaurant!

2022-07-15Be cautious of asking staff questions; un knowledgeable with outdated menu posted. I went to place a pickup order over the phone. My card had to be locked so I have been surviving off tap to pay transactions. Online it lists they take Apple Pay and when I called the lady on the phone seemed frustrated with my question confirming that. I placed my order….drove out for their systems to not take my tap to pay with clearly money on there as I showed them my balance. She was quick to decline me service further and pulled the food away. Shame because I always order from them. Lost a regular customer. Went next door to a different restaurant and spent twice as much using the same payment method no problem.

2022-04-23This place is a diamond in the rough! You pull into the parking lot and you see a restaurant that looks like a small dinner that says Vasilis Greek restaurant! You walk in a the place looks like your tipical American restaurant,then you see this redheaded Guy in back cooking,ok Im still looking for this Greek restaurant 😂 so we sit down and the menu has Greek food on it! So weve been to many Greek restaurants before but this one had us worried 🤔 so we ordered our usual Greek starters and Ill tell you what, those were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! so we then ordered our gyros not just any gyros but the supreme gyros and Greek french fries OMG!! So yummy! Tru Greek food!! From a redhead Cook/ owner! We told him his food was absolutely wonderful!! We were totally happy and full when we left what a great little restaurant with great food and friendly staff!! Super good food 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ from us!!if youre in the Akron area please stop and support these people!!
