Zeko’s Mediterranean Grill

This is not a cheap drive through fast food place, the food is really really good but to me it is a bit expensive. I get the same every time I go, the steak kabobs. With a drink it cost $ 17. The last time I was there it was served without the pico that they show in the picture. When I asked about it the girl didn’t know what I was talking about — when she finally brought it, it sooo completes the meal. Make sure you’e getting the pico to pour over your rice, makes the dish. Worth the drive, just don’t think its a happy meal kind of place.

This is a great little semi-​fast food local restaurant. Great falafels. Great and knowledgeable staff. Always busy.

Unhappy that they charged more than on the menu. Even after saying something we basically were told tough! We won’t be back!

I happen to be in town for work and drove by and decided to stop in. The staff is friendly and it’s very clean inside. I ordered the Greek salad and stuffed grape leaves. Both were pretty good. The grape leaves tasted like the ones I buy from Costco but that’s fine. I wanted map try hummus but I didn’t want to bust out of my pants! I would request that they get spanakopita! It’s rare that Greek restaurants don’t carry it so I was surprised they didn’t have it. But the food was excellent, atmosphere was great and it was busy (which is always a good sign). Thank you!

I wouldn’t give this place 1 star! I live four houses down feed my kid’s this at least twice a week… I called to order the family size chicken strips and fries and always paid $ 12.99 per their website… Well today I went in to order and the guy at the counter tells me it’s $ 19.99, so I pull up the website and show it to him and the young lady who claims to be the manager. She tells me she’s doesn’t care what the website says and she’s not changing any prices for me. I asked her who’s her boss because she shouldn’t be able to manage ANYTHING with that attitude and she tells me she has no boss she opens and close the place and does what she wants!!! Needless to say the food is good but the staff is VERY RUDE and I will take my business elsewhere… Service is everything when you are running a restaurant! I’m a chef and manager at a high in franchise and I would have responded totally different than her or my job would have been on the line!!! SO IF YOU ARE HUNGRY AND LOOKING FOR GOOD FOOD AND TERRIBLE SERVICE THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU… I will NEVER feed my family of 11 their again I don’t care if I do stay four house’s down or how convenient it is…

Zeko’s has great Mediterranean food for cheap! Most things cost less than $ 10. I’ve been twice and I’ve ordered the Shawarma and a Lamb Gyro. The Shawarma came in a pita tortilla typed bread that got soggy from the insides. The Gyro was fantastic, very filling.
One thing to keep in mind, if you make it a meal and get fries, the fries are actually wedges. Aside from that, they are well seasoned, I wasn’t mad at all.
Ask for the green sauce that comes with the fried mushrooms! Suuuuper good.

Extremely disappointing, I would not recommend this place to anyone. I ordered the «falafel sandwich» and specified 3 times that I would like it on a pita (that’s what falafel usually comes on). They said it came one their «homemade flatbread» which was like a pita. We ordered through the drive though and if I wasn’t in a hurry to get back to work, I would have returned it. My falafel came on a tortilla, as a burrito. Not a pita or a sandwich. It’s a falafel burrito with no lettuce or tzatziki sauce, or anything on a usual falafel pita. It was full of shredded hot pickles, which was very unappetizing and not listed in the description. Certainly disappointed.

A Palestinian food chain in south Florida /​Tampa area. They make fresh food. Serve it to you with a friendly service and the food tastes great. I have tried their seafood platter, Fatoush salad, felafel and wings. Everything tastes fantastic, not overlooked, and made to order. Service is quick and the environment is friendly. Great place to take the family after some fun in the sun

Excellent! Devine! Good service! Mohomid an assistant mgr. a perfect host, handled a minor complaint with grace of a professional. Our only advice would be to order with your mind, not the hunger in your stomich. The charges add up quick with the appetizers you might order. This a clean comfortable restaurant with a caring staff.

Stopped by Zeko’s this evening for take out dinner. Don’t worry, the food was as bad as the pictures. We ordered some falafel, a Greek salad, and a gyro in a wrap rather than a pita. The falafel was burnt. Not only was it overcooked, it tasted like the oil it was fried in was burnt as well. It also tasted like fish which was scary for a person with seafood allergies. The gyro was rather uneventful. Nothing really stood out about it. The one decent item was the Greek salad. It had great flavor, but I hate when I order a salad and have to shop it up. If I wanted to prepare it myself I would have went to the store and bought all the items for a salad. Overall, I cannot say I would recommend this place. There are better Greek options in the area.

I am picky with Mediterranean food and this place hits the spot every time! Great customer service and great food.

I really love this place! I know it’s not the most authentic Greek place in the area, and the fried veggies are always super greasy – but I LOVE them nonetheless! It’s normally pretty fast considering most hot food is made to order, and I appreciate the vegetarian options. Their green dipping sauce for the fried veggies is delicious! The fried falafel is really great, and the greek salad is always fresh. I don’t think I’ve ever had my order screwed up for takeout, and the staff has always been friendly. I’d recommend calling ahead for takeout so that you don’t have to wait long!

This is really a fine local place to get Greek, made to order, semi-​fast food. You order at a counter and they bring the freshly prepared food to your table.
The salads are made of truly fresh vegetables and the gyro is definitely stuffed with meat. Their fried mushrooms and fried veggies are crunchy and fresh and make a great side dish. The black beans and rice are well-​seasoned and also delicious as a side.
I visited with some picky friends who ordered salad without cucumber, sandwiches without onions, and various customizations. We also added lemon garlic sauce, tangy green sauce, and extra taziki. They didn’t mind although my cucumber-​despising friend ended up with extra cucumbers which was kind of funny, and great for me since I ate them all.

Delicious food. Ordered the beef shawarma. Best I’ve had in a while. Will be going back

I recently moved and decided to try out local Greek food. After this visit, this establishment was mostly meh. I understand that is a vague expression, but I shall explain. I’d give 3.5 for the steak and rice, but that’s it.
Upon arrival I walked into a quiet non descript establishment that was darker and dreary. I stepped to the counter and reviewed the menu that was an odd mix of American and Greek food. Wings or Gyro. Odd mix of food.
It was $ 23.52 for a mix platter and gyro. After paying we went to our table passing the silverware stand that only held forks. Strolled past dirty tables to take a seat at a booth. Waited
10 min or so and our food came but missing my chop chop salad. The rice was savory and steak kabob was delicious. My salad came at the end of the meal and didn’t even smell right.
So, it was merely meh. Can’t say I’d go back. Sad cause I do enjoy Greek.

LOVE THIS PLACE! This is the only location with «green sauce», which is a kind of cilantro yogurt magic.
We usually get the kabobs with rice and chop salad. It’s fresh and enough food to get you full, but not too full. We also get the pita and hummus, which is perfect. We’ve had the fried veggies as well, and those are done well. I think that we’ve had the chicken wings, but those aren’t as wonderful as the kabobs.
The seating is kind of odd because it’s nothing but large booths. But there are TVs, which is nice since it takes a few minutes for the food to cook.
The bathrooms are always pretty clean and the staff is pretty friendly.

My fiancé and I went here for dinner a few nights ago. He got the chicken gyro and I got the falafel, both with fries. Service was fast and friendly. We also ordered a Greek salad. The potato salad part of it was very good, but overall the salad was lacking and didn’t feel much like the great Greek salads I’ve had at other restaurants. The wraps/​gyros we had were decent, although they tasted like they were siting under a heat lamp and the wraps themselves weren’t very fresh. I wasn’t a fan of the potato wedge fries on the side. The outside of then seemed overcooked and hardened as well as greasy, as if someone let them sit in the fryer for too long. I’m a huge fan of Greek food, but our recent trip didn’t hit the spot. I think I will be continuing my search for the best Greek food in the area.

Consistent, huge portions, and priced just right. This place has quickly become a new favorite. In the past 2 weeks, I’ve been there 3 times and taken many others also.
My go-​to meal has been the Gyro and Greek Salad special that they have for $ 9.99 which are both HUGE portions. Easily enough for two… or two meals. I’ve yet to be able to finish this in a single sitting.
The gyro (lamb) is seasoned perfectly, cooked wonderfully, and served lovingly under a nice layer of tza-​ziki sauce… and over fresh cut tomato’s and onions. The pita is warmed up also and doesn’t fall apart even when overloaded. I let the extra meat fall out and add a bit to my salad.
The salad comes with everything you’d expect a greek salad to come with: onions, olives, feta cheese, potato salad lump, and lettuce and a side of greek dressing. Everything on this has been super-​fresh and the potato salad is quite good. Better than most I’ve had.
I’ve also tried the beef kebab which you could tell was freshly cooked (took a bit longer and very tender). This may be my next go-​to meal when I go next. Also, misleadingly, they show french fries on the menu, but they actually only have potato wedges. This, to me, is fine as you can tell these are freshly cut potatoes that are then baked and served. Perfect.
The place is setup with an order counter where you’re given a number and you put that on your table til your food is ready. You help yourself to a beverage and get your silverware (not plastic ware!).
The best part about this place, besides the food, is that they also have a drive-​thru window. Awesome.
I hate reviewing a chain… but there’s only 3 of them I think and they’re that good.

Probably the best «fast food» in st Pete.
Although much slower than traditional fast food, I’m ok with that because the quality didn’t disappoint.
I ordered the falafel wrap and it was divine. Sauce, pickles, cucumbers all wrapped in a toasted thin pita wrap.
Ill def be back.

Honestly, this is probably some of the better «fast food» out there. I’ve had the Greek salad (yum), hummus (which is lacking the heavy amounts of garlic that you find sometimes), chicken and beef kabobs, shawerma, and the gyro. I would probably pass on the chicken kabobs because they were a little dry when I had them. Gyro (which I posted a pic of) was good, but there seems to be an excellent selection of those in Tampa Bay as it is. Shawerma was definitely a lighter option with the thinner pita. Also, the potato wedges are a hundred times better than generic fries.
I’ve had different people take my order here and the dude from Jerusalem is probably my favorite one so far. It was slow so I could talk pita bread and baklava with him while making my order. The only reason I’m taking a star off is because of the specials. The board is in the corner, out of the direct line of sight. I only remember it’s there once I’ve placed and paid for my order. Normally this wouldn’t be –that– big of a deal, but I ended up ordering a gyro and a Greek salad separately when there was a combo (which saved a couple bucks) on the specials. The girl ringing me up didn’t tell me about it (I think she might have gotten distracted trying to figure out if I was related to someone she knows), but a different employee who brought my food to me pointed out that I could have ordered the combo instead. C’mon guys! Find a way to make the specials a bit more visible!
The dining area is nothing special. There are a few booths that can fit 4 – 6 people (depending how much personal space you want) and it’s always been relatively clean when I’ve been in. I also tend to be there on off-​hours, so I don’t have to deal with the hassle of waiting too long for anything. So, nothing negative to comment on about that.
One of these days I WILL try that baklava. I just need to remember not to stuff my face with lunch and save some room.
