Stopped in there for lunch and chose the gyro from the lunch special menu. Worst gyro ever... a few slices of meat on a pita... no tomatoes, onions, sauce, etc. Just blah. Won't be going back. More

Coming from Australia - we have some amazing Greek restaurants. We thought it might be a nice change from the burgers and ribs/pizza to grab some take out from The Fat Greek on our 2nd last night in Waikiki, however we were very disappointed! I think there were maybe 10 fries in the takeout box, the calamari was rubbery, the... More

If you are staying in the Hawaiian Village. This is the place to go. The Papa's special or the Royal Platter were my favorites. They send it to go also...pick up a bottle of wine and go to your room for a nice dinner alone..the garlic fries bring me back to greece or Spain.. More

Located at 1831 Ala Moana Blvd., The Fat Greek serves excellent food, large portions at reasonable rates. We have eaten there many times and have not had a bad meal yet. Do not hesitate to visit this restaurant if you are near Waikiki and want some good Greek food. More

Our group of 8 had very different opinions on food quality, but all agreed on wonderful service. No, it's not the most authentic Greek food you'll ever find, but it has nice portions, fresh ingredients and some fun combinations. If you're looking a gyro with a pound of meat, this isn't the spot for you. But, if you prefer a... More

This time, we only had gyros (which had hardly any meat in them, sauce & that was it...no onions, tomatoes, etc.) and they had next to no flavor. They have garlic fries that are not that great either (you can tell they aren't fresh). The topper was that we called ahead and I asked what soup they had...they said lemon... More

Tasty Greek food and a very reasonable price. Wife and I enjoyed takeout three nights while staying at the Hawaiian Village. Look for specials such as Kabobs or Lamb shank. Downside. House salad instead of Greek salad with most entrees. Can't go five because of atmosphere. More

We loved this restaurant so much we visited it twice the week we were holidaying in Waikiki. Our wait staff was attentive without being intruding, offered helpful suggestions and even gave us a card for a 10% discount on our next visit. The meal portion size was good for two hungry appetites. We ordered a daily special and the chicken... More
