I'm particularly fond of Greek food and rarely get the pleasure so we sought out the mall while visiting Charleston, specifically to eat at Best of rete.We had a lunch and a dinner and found the food very tasty, the employees friendly and the desserts delicious.The pastry with a custard filling was my favorite. It is not pleasant to eat... More

Food was bland, cold and mushy. Not at all what I am used to from living in New England where authentic Greek restaurants are everywhere. All I can say is save your money. More

The Best of Crete is an amazingly good restaurant for a mall food court, It's run by a local family of Greek heritage and serves food on a par with what you would expect in a sit down restaurant at twice the price. The reviewers who say it is overpriced must be comparing it to chain pizza and hot dogs.... More

Me and my colleagues regularly eat lunch here. Service is quick and food is phenomenal. Love their salads and dinners including the chicken and meat loaf dinner. Hummus is very smooth and creamy. I think they add garlic in it, which adds a lovely flavor to it. Wish they'd move out of the mall! More

This is the closest to real Greek food and not "American style" greek food I have ever had. That being said it was good but it lacked a little in the taste dept and it was very overpriced. But for mall food it is a great healthy option. More

After an excellent greek meal, owner suggested for dessert, a galatobouriko. Like a cannoli except custard in flaky phyllo dough. Stopped at the best of crete. In town center mall. Was excellent. Had roast chicken. Marinated, seasoned, tender good quality chicken. Took to go some meatballs and stuffed cabbage with rice pilaf. Had 1 each when we got home. Excellent. More

After living in various areas of the country, I have found that Greek food - any Greek food - is hard to come by. Charleston has a little gem of a Greek restaurant in the Town Center Mall food court called The Best of Crete. The food is always good and fresh. The gyros are wonderful, the moussaka is excellent,... More
