The food was very good. My wife and I made simple choices, Gyro Stir Fry and a Gyro that we both were very happy with. Our waitress was pleasant and efficient. The inside was very clean, including the bathroom! The small negative i will give is the neon sign was not working so we had a small problem finding the place.

Great! Sebastian is a great server, the food was the best! (baklava the best in a half century) and the amount of food served more than justifies the prices! Moreover - the food presentation is great as well! My wife and I walk weekly in the local metro parks... we are new = happy = repeat customers! We love this place and Sebastian! Life is good!

First, our waiter was super friendly and attentive. We came pretty close to open, so we were the only ones in there to start. As another larger group slowly trickled in, he did a great job of chatting with them (regulars) while still giving us a good experience. Second, the food was excellent. I got a falafel gyro and my husband got the Authentic gyro. Both came with large portions and tasted great. Mine could have used a little more hummus, but I liked that the tzatzika was on the side so I could add it to each bite. I also tried the Avgolemono and really enjoyed it's bright, lemony flavor. We brought hone two pieces of baklava we havent tried yet, but those portions were huge! We hope it tastes as good as it looks! We will definitely come back again.

Looking for something healthier? This place is the spot. I got the falafel gyro and it was pretty good. Will say it could’ve used a bit more flavor, hummus and tzatziki sauce. My partner got a buffalo wrap which he enjoyed, but it was drenched in buffalo sauce, so go for it if you love that. He said everything else was enjoyable. The Greek fries were absolutely delicious and a huge serving. Then we finished it off with a piece of baklava which was also very generous in size. Typically I’m hesitant to try baklava from restaurants and keep to only having my mothers as most others are either too dry or too soggy or the wrong ingredients. But the baklava here gave me a pleasant surprise, just the the right amount of everything everything was also set at reasonable prices! They were out of the spanakopita this time due to demand, so if we come back, we plan to try that

This is the best greek food ANYWHERE in northeast Ohio. Period. It has been superb every single time we have visited. The owners are very nice, the establishment is very clean and inviting, and the flow of take out orders was constant. Do yourselves a favor. Come to Vasili's. You will not regret it.

The food is a home run! If you are in the mood for something different than the usual, this place is for you! The hummus is the best! My Mediterranean salad was one of the best salads I have had in a very long time! The baklava was fantastic The server was the nicest server we have come across in a while and we eat out a lot! 10/10 through and through

Possibly the best Greek meal I’ve every had! Great service, our waitress was so kind. The food was hot, fresh, and tasted great. The pita and tzatziki is amazing! Great value as well, not expensive and big portions.

I had a great experience here! I ordered the gyro stir fry along with the Greek fries, and both were absolutely delicious. The gyro meat was flavorful and perfectly cooked. Portions were generous and everything tasted fresh. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more from the menu!
