"At The Grillin' Greek, a tiny, mostly takeout establishment, a flair for irresistible combinations is in evidence all over the menu. White pizza with artichoke hearts and feta? A 'Greekadilla' that marries the gooey delight of a quesadilla with the classic zing of spinach-and-feta pie? Yes and yes. The salata Kalamata, Greek salad with extra olives and lemony stuffed grape leaves, is all you need for supper."

"A brand new place — food is amazing! Salads are super fresh and dressing is homemade. I am so picky and hate brown lettuce and other nasty bits, but this was a winner. Pita is fresh baked, I had the lamb (because I am a vegetarian :-) and the steak melt down (with garlic and bacon). Wow! Foti is the owner, say Hi and introduce yourself. Parking is a bit tricky, but they deliver. I am already dreaming of my next visit — mmmm."

"Our office recently moved from Boston to Natick so we had to find a new place for our monthly lunch delivery. This place is amazing. This is the second time I ordered the falafel wrap and I think the homemade pita wrap is probably the most delicious thing I've ever eaten. The falafel is better than any I had in Boston. The guys rave about the pizza and the chef salad was so full of meat, I never saw one so loaded. The prices seem too low for all that food! Also, the staff is maybe the friendliest I've ever encountered, after calling just once before Foteos (sorry if I slaughtered your name!) nearly remembered by name 3 weeks later."

"Absolutely delicious! Very small building on the corner of a busy intersection but well worth the trouble of getting there. It's a family owned establishment, the people working there have always been nice to me. The pizza is really great, if you're in Natick this is the place to get pizza, much better than Natick Pizza. Their GreekADillas are also amazing and unique; Spinach and Feta, mmmmm. Their salads are fresh and the pita bread is homemade. I recently moved closer to Boston and I've mentioned more than once how much I miss Grillin' Greek."

"This is my new favorite place for a quick meal — the food is fresh and delicious, and the people are so friendly! The Lil' Bo Peep salad is great — a big greek salad topped with roasted lamb and red peppers (by far the best salad in the area!). My boyfriend has had the falafel and the beef gyro, both of which he has loved. We'll definitely be returning!"

"I recommend the Gyro wrap. The lamb is great and the homemade wrap bread is especially good. Update after eating here for the past 8/9 months 3-4X a month: This place is fantastic. If they don't have what you want on the menu, they will make it. Pizza is good, falafel is good, and all the salads are good. Family owned and operated place. It gets busy sometimes at lunch, but be patient. The food is worth the wait."

"I love the homemade hummus and pita bread here! The service is always friendly and the fact that they make most of their staples in house is a huge plus. For me, the hummus appetizer with pita and some veggies is a great lunch or snack. Definitely try the Greekazilla with chicken, bacon and roasted red peppers — Yum!"

"I just found this place somewhat recently and am a huge fan. I live in the area and somehow have missed them, but now I go about once per week. The pitas are freshly baked and unlike other pitas I've had, these are nice and thick and airy and have lots of flavor on their own. The home made hummus is delicious, and the falafels are falawesome. The Grillin Greek has quickly become one of my go-to spots."

"My gyro pita wrap was phenomenal — deliciously tender meat on a thick, chewy pita. Although it's primarily a take-out place, we decided to stay, and the guys behind the counter were fast and considerate. One came out to close a window in case we were cold and later, they offered us a taste of some fresh flatbread. I will definitely be back!"

"The Grillin Greek gets the grade for having a combination of fresh home made products, great flavors and portions, and genuine friendly family owned and operated service. This is the type of place I'm happy to spend my money at, and in fact their prices beat the majority of places around town. They seem to genuinely appreciate their customers too. Everything I've ordered there has been great, so I'll bypass individual dish reviews and just suggest you try it for yourself!!"

"Mom and Son cooking authentic Greek style food with quality ingredients. I ordered a steak tip Caesar salad and watched Mom make it fresh and boy was it good. The steak literally melted in my mouth and their homemade pita bread is to die for. I just found my go to lunch place when I'm in Natick. The interior isn't the most exciting but it definitely gives that family run, quality-is-in-the-product kinda feel. The staff is friendly and engaging and you can't help but feel welcome."
