Midtown Greek Restaurant With Fries Tucked Inside the Gyros

Order a chicken gyro stuffed with fries at a Midtown Greek restaurant that also serves short rib moussaka.

Know the Greek desserts to try.

🥙 Gyros, Moussaka and Sea Bass

The Casual Greek is a cozy Midtown Greek restaurant at 821 2nd Ave, and the chicken gyro arrives stuffed with french fries inside. Short rib moussaka offers a richer take on a Greek favorite, and the small dining room keeps the welcome friendly from the first plate.

The menu stretches into fresh seafood, with grilled whole striped bass for the table and lentil soup to start. Save space for the dedicated dessert selection, where baklava sits beside orange cake and the Turkish Ekmek Kadayıfı, a less familiar sweet worth ordering after a gyro or a plate of moussaka.

The restaurant is open Monday through Friday from 11 AM to 10 PM and closed on weekends, which makes it a weekday lunch or dinner stop in Midtown. Catering is available for a larger group or a work event, a simple way to bring the gyros and moussaka to the office.
