HUNGRY GREEK – Restaurant

Greek food at counter speed, done properly. The Hungry Greek runs several Tampa storefronts — Carrollwood, Westchase, South Tampa and downtown on Franklin Street — all working from the same short, confident menu: gyro pitas, grilled chicken and beef souvlaki, Greek bowls, falafel, spinach pie and dolmades, with hummus, tabouli, tzatziki and Greek fries for the table. Avgolemono soup is there when you want it. Diners keep returning for the generous, freshly carved gyro meat, the quick turnaround at lunch, and prices that make it a habit rather than an outing. Bright, casual, unfussy.
