Grecian Garden

The best Greek food and the best family anyone could find, although I admit that the character of Dimitri was not easy, mine at least, weird to see Mary decorating the restaurant for Christmas and help fix it, thanks for giving me not only a job and a roof when you need it, thanks for always giving me good advice, for always being there in good times and not so good in my life, I miss and remember with great love, for more than a place, more than a job, you are for me my family, I miss and that will be good if someday I can help in anything please tell with me, Dimitri thanks for building a character and show me that I can not and are just pretexts for fools. George I love you for trusting me. grumpy restaurant carefully Aruc?l Fernando Busson more

It was a sad day when i got the phone call from my mother that she had stopped by the restaurant that I have been eating at since cellular mitosis was closed. Grecian Gardens was the BEST Greek restaurant in the state of Utah. Most people think the Greek Souvlaki is, but that's Greek fast food, and not really the way I have been raised for Greek food to taste. But now my restaurant is gone, and the only other place to go is ""the other place"" more

I grew up in Grecian gardens; I learned to belly dance through Kismet when I was just 5 years old, and the 1st place my tribe of sisters and our mom danced at besides the Liberty park was here at Grecian Gardens. Jimmy used to always offer me free candy. He took care of us, the staff was great, the musicians were very talented. I looooo~ved the lemon rice, the vegi's were good! the desert was awesome. They were a warm & friendly ""staff"" they weren't just staff, they were friends. Pros: food is good, entertainment is awesome, warm friendly inviting staff Cons: not very busy during the week days more

Sadly, Jimmy and Mary decided to close the doors on the Grecian and retire. It happened quite abruptly a couple weeks ago in the middle of June. I didn't particularly care for the food, especially the canned vegetables they served with the entree, but it was one of the most fun places to go. Pros: belly dancing Cons: canned vegetables more

I have tried every greek restaurant I can get my lips on and if you are in Salt Lake City and looking for an authentic greek experience, Grecian Gardens is the place to be! If you can make it on Saturday night there is usually semi-live music (a background track with three live musicians) with a true Greek flair. The lemon rice soup is probably the tastiest thing I can think of. It is a taste that is strange at first so give it more than one spoonful and you will love it. It's a little tart with a great texture. Excellent! If you're new to Grecian Gardens the Liga Apa Olla (greek for ""a little bit of everything"" or so I'm told) is a great deal about 8 bucks and you get to try a salad (greek dressing highly recommended if you like vinagrettes), the lemon rice soup, bread, the best gyro in town, good souvlaki (kind of like a kabob), a dolmadakia (corned beef hash wrapped in a grape leaf and covered in lemon sauce), lemon rice, and some sort of vegetable. It's tons of food. Saturday night also usually has dancing (either belly dancing or traditional greek) and makes for a great cultural experience. Even if you don't dance, if they invite you to dance with them GO! they will teach you and it is a lot of fun and very easy! Pros: Inexpensive, true greek feel, great gyro, LEMON RICE SOUP! Cons: Kind of scary looking from the outside. more
