Freskos · Whitney Ave, Hamden
A modern-Greek fast-casual counter on Hamden's Whitney Avenue from owner Peter Vouras. CTbites' Amy Kundrat covered the souvlaki and gyro sandwiches served on warm pita with red onion, tomato, tzatziki, and dill, plus a heaped Greek salad with grape leaves and imported feta and a Greek pita pizza of its own. Order the gyro sandwich, or the Greek pita pizza if you want the house original.
Parthenon Diner Restaurant · Route 1, Branford
A round-the-clock Branford diner that John Sousoulas has run since 1985, where Daily Nutmeg notes Greek food remains at the heart of the menu despite decades of American diner expansion. Its writer singled out the gyro on the Sampler plate for exceptional tenderness, alongside moussaka, spanakopita, and chicken souvlaki with olives and feta. It has also won the New Haven Advocate readers poll for Greek food more than once. Order the Sampler.
