We frequent here often but I'd never taken the time to post a review. I cannot say a negative thing about Cyprus. The staff are amazing. They are prompt to serve us and the food is always fast and fresh. They have opened a new location in Chandler and we have been there quite a few times as well. I can honestly say they do everything right and it is consistent at both locations.
Greek fries are a must and my husband loves the gyro pita and I love the chicken souvlaki pita. -

I am really enjoying soups with bread this time of year.
Stopped in to this little Greek house and ordered a hot bowl of Mushroom and Bree soup. The plate came with pita bread. 5. My lunch was super good and my server was very kind.
The house has a touch of a Mediterranean feel. Going to go back and put the menu to the test. Thank you. -

The food here is fresh and fairly tasty, with decent-sized portions - however, don't believe the hours they list on their website. According to the site, they're open till 10. One night, we drove over only to be told they were only doing to go service that night (which was a bummer, since they screwed up my bachlava and we didn't realize it till we got home). Two other times I've called ahead and been informed they were closing at 9 or even 8. Last time, we ate on the patio, which was lovely, albeit a bit dark. Two guys walked in to be seated and the waitress let them know they were actually closing. When the men expressed confusion, since the site listed 10 pm, the waitress said, "Well, we don't HAVE to close right now, you can still come in and eat..." (while she continued stacking chairs up on tables). Nobody wants to feel unwanted, guys - pick your hours and update your website.
That said - the Greek fries are delicious if you love feta (and boy do we love feta). The seasoned rice is buttery and herby, the salads are fresh and generous, and the meat is generally a bit overcooked but still seasoned well. My husband is on a strict gluten-free diet and has no trouble eating here. -

I've eaten here a few times now, and it's a okay. It's a fast casual diner that serves Greek style food. You order and pay at the counter, they give you a number for your table, and when the food is ready, they walk it out to you.
The first time I ate here, I carried out a Gyro, and it was awesome. Tasty, hot, and really hit the spot. The second time I ate here, I got the brusetta. I didn't like it all that much, and don't know that I would order it again.
the reason I didn't like it was because of the following. A) to many tomato's on the brucetta, and they were cold! B) Bread was warm, and to soft. C) not my style of brusetta. I like brusetta to be on toasted french bread, and have it be warm all around. This wasn't.
Next time I eat here I think I'm going to stick with the Gyro since it was so tasty. -

I am SERIOUSLY ADDICTED to the Greek fries. I go most weekends and eat at Cyprus Grill before I do my grocery shopping @ Trader Joe's. Service is low-key, the seating is comfortable, and I can lock my bike at the rack in front of Trader Joe's. I can always find a table, and they don't rush me. I read the paper and savor my lemoney, olive oily, feta cheesey Greek fries. YUM!

We definitely enjoy eating here. What we DO NOT enjoy is being called "guys." My wife and I are both well-beyond 60, and DO NOT enjoy that level of casualness from anyone. The dark-haired waitress, dressed mostly in black, kept asking "are you guys" this and "are you guys" that. If I had a dollar for every time that she did I could have paid for dinner.
"YOU" is both a singular AND plural word. "You all" would be OK; ditto "you folks." But 86 "you guys" --or worse, "youse guys." --JDH -

Hey Cyprus Grill. Fix your website. It says you're open until 10 on Sunday. We decided at 8 to hit you for dinner only to discover you close at 8:30 on Sundays. Not cool.

I love Greek food. I have no idea when I became so enamored with Greek cuisine but I am glad I did. I end up craving it at least once or twice a week so when I met the fiance for lunch today near his office I mentioned aforementioned craving and he led us here to Cyprus Grill.
The place was pleasantly busy but not overcrowded. We ordered at the counter and out food came out pretty quickly. We tried the gyro pita as well as the gyro plate. We cleared our plates in no time so I guess that means the food was good, right?
The gyro meat was tasty, moist and flavorful. The rice was delicious and the tzatziki sauce was refreshing. We decided that we'd be going back for future lunch dates whenever possible. Besides, you can't have too many go to Greek spots in my opinion so this one's definitely going in our books. Done and Done. -

Our family stopped here on a whim to get a snack and ordered greek fries and bruschetta. Both were generous portions and good values and so delicious we were looking forward to visiting again before finishing our food. The service was friendly, but slow due to only one server working.

Disappointing.
Prices slightly higher than the quality of the food and dining experience should dictate. Food wasn't terrible, but not good or great.
Food below was for two adults and two smaller children.
Had the vegetarian Appetizer ($11). It had two sauces, a small stack of pita corners, three fried balls (best part), and two HOT grape leaves (they weren't bad hot, just always had them cold before). Just okay. My wife and I love hummus usually, but neither of us cared to finish this.
My wife and I both really wanted lamb for the main course. I mean, that's what Greek is all about. But when we tried to order, we discovered they were all out. Strange. I probably would have changed restaurants but we'd already ordered appetizers and drinks at that point. But that's okay. Restaurants run out of things. My wife tried a Gyro meat platter $11, and I tried chicken souvlaki $12.
My chicken was low quality chicken, fatty, and kind of nasty. Two tiny skewers. Probably $.75 worth of chicken. Rice was mushy, and I couldn't stomach more than a bite or two. Salad was decent, but just a greek salad.
Ordered a couple glasses of wine, which were warm and tasted like they were turning. Should have sent them back but didn't.
Ordered the Baklava desert. It was like a 2" square type of piece, tasted like I could have bought it next door at Trader Joes. I expected better/more that I could at least offer four bites to the four people at the table.
Damage, $55 bill plus tax and gratuity.
Honestly, I wouldn't have paid $20 for it if I could have done it again.
If you go here, get a cheap sandwich or a salad. They look decent and fairly priced. This is probably a good to great lunch spot for a quick bite. Just don't go here and expect a nice big meal.
Myself, I doubt I'll be back. If I do, I'll come back for a quick lunch and order a large greek salad topped with something ($12). Just too many amazing dining opportunities in Phoenix. -

Cypress Pita is a nice Greek restaurant tucked into the Town & Country retail area. First off the Service was very nice and attentive. The food was good, but for the price Phoenix has other alternatives. For Greek food I think it's 4 Star.

Greek food is one of our favorite cuisines so we were glad to stumble upon this place while out. However, The only thing enjoyable about our meal was the hummus and pita though.
I had a Greek salad with salmon. The fish was hard and tasted off. The salad was wilted and flavorless as well.
My husband had the gyro platter and his salad looked worse than mine.
Not only that but the place wreaked of feta cheese. It was overwhelming. I've had lots of Greek food all over the country and this ranks close to the bottom. -

I love Cyprus Grill because I love lemon. My 3 favorite things are:
Greek Fries - French Fries with feta cheese, lemon sauce, and seasonings. They're freaking spectacular.
Fried Calamari - You can get it by itself or on a salad. The calamari is fried light and crispy. Never gummy/rubbery. And of course you get to squeeze fresh lemon on it :)
Avgolemono Soup - A lemon and rice cream soup. It's scrumptious.
So if you're in the mood for a little citrus zest with your meal, I highly recommend you make a trip to Cyprus! -

I do this this restaurant. I've been here many times before. Their gyro platter is wonderful, the pita bread is top notch and the prices are reasonable. I was there yesterday for lunch and ordered the Mushroom Brie Bisque. It was delicious except for the fact it was served in a bowl with not one, not two but, three chips on the rim. Big noticeable chips. That bowl belonged in the trash and a customer should not have been served a $5 bowl of soup in it. A dirty fork or knife happens in the best of places but there was no excuse for the condition of that bowl. You lost a star on that one Cypress Pita Grill.

Maybe it was a matinee viewing of "Get Him To the Greek" last weekend. No matter how it happened, I have been all about Greek food the last few days. Following up my delicious gyro feta on Tuesday, I decided to try out Cyprus Grill, right around the corner from my stomping grounds. The place is right next to Trader Joe's, so I am not sure how I missed it before tonight. Walking in, Cyprus has a smallish set-up with hardwood floors and some outside seating (with misters, thankfully).
I was immediately greeted by the hostess/cashier/etc with a huge smile, which always lets me know I made a good choice. With all of the complaints about customer service on Yelp, I would think more restaurants would train their staff right, and Cyprus certainly has do so. From an earlier Yelp review, I knew exactly what I wanted: the Spartan Club (a pita sandwich with grilled chicken, gyro meat, lettuce, tzatziki, feta, and hot sauce) with greek fries. My new friend offered an upsize in fries, but they were bad enough as a side, so I was fine with the normal order. After about 8-10 minutes, I was on my way.
Simply put, the sandwich is fantastic. I love pita bread, and this was soft and tasty, but strong enough so it wasn't breaking with the weight of the sandwich. The chicken was excellent, if not overcooked just a touch, and the gyro meat was as good as any I have had. The tzatziti sauce was lighter than I like, but it and the feta certainly added to the meal. The one issue I had with the sandwich was my own fault. The hot sauce seemed like a strange addition for it, and even though it added a little bite, it eventually overcame the Spartan. Don't get me wrong, it tastes great, but I would probably go without the hot sauce next time.
The Greek fries were fantastic as well. Sometimes with Greek fries, the lemon overcomes the rest of the meal, but it was a perfect compliment to the melted feta and seasoning.
All in all, another great Greek meal and well worth the solid price you pay for it. -

Excellent, fresh mediterranean food. Not your typical heavy Chicago gyro style of place. I always opt for the Chicken Souvlaki plate w/ a Greek Salad.
This location and the one in Tempe (now known as Oliveo...owners falling out or something) are both fantastic. However, I still prefer the Tempe location for the price and the chicken tends to be cooked perfectly, i.e. it is never dried out, but you have to be willing to deal with the college crowd ;) -

I have been meaning to start reviewing the MANY places I go to every week and have just procrastinated. What a great place to finally begin my review ritual. THIS PLACE IS AMAZING.
First, when we walked in, there was nowhere to sit. A nice gentleman in the corner waived us down and said he would be leaving soon and to have a seat at his table...which we did. He introduced himself as George and apparently is a regular here and had nothing but great things to say in a strong greek accent. I thought that he may be a little biased based on his obvious background, but entertained the pleasant conversation because he was quite the riot.
He then introduced us to the owner. The nicest 80 something year old man you will ever meet that truly cares about his place, his food, and his customers. We decided to each start with a soup on the recommendation of George. I had the tomato basil and my friend had the egg and lemon(because I don't know how to say it or spell it in Greek) soup. Both were amazing. the tomato basil was a rich, heartier texture and you could literally taste each ingredient that created such a wonderful aroma and combo of flavor. It is really great to be able to taste freshness.
We decided to share a sandwich as we weren't super hungry and chose the Spartan Club. Again, what a great combo of flavors that made this Pita-style sandwich taste so great. The pitas themselves just have this fresh feel to them that makes all the difference in the world. We also decided to experiment with something new and have the greek fries to go along with it. Not the healthiest choice, but oh so worth it. If you like cheese...and I don't mean fake, melted, orange stuff... I'm talking real cheese and real flavor, order these...you won't be disappointed.
All in all, a wonderful first time for me. I love finding a neighborhood place that is owned by the "little guy" and will support this place over and over again. Go there, show your support, and say hello to the very nice older gentleman pouring your wine....he will be the one with the smile on his face.

The people here are psychic!
Really, I eaten here at least 10 times. Each time, my food has been delivered within moments...way too fast to actually prepare it - but is always incredibly fresh. So - they must sense I am coming, know what I am in the mood for (even if I don't know myself!) and start putting together the dish while I am still driving there. I can't think of any other explanation!
I am not a lemon soup fan - but everyone I have taken there who orders it swears by it. The lamb is perfectly cooked, the souvlaki is well seasoned, and the gyro meat should be the standard by which all gyro meat is graded.
As one who drinks a LOT of water or iced tea, I appreciate the huge cups they are served in - I don't have to wait to catch the server's attention for a refill. In fact - I don't think I've ever finished my first cup here.
So glad to have this place as a dining option in my area - doesn't cost much more than fast food and is SO much tastier!Comment from Penelope A. of Cyprus Grill of Phoenix 8/30/2010

Stopped here for a bite after shopping.
Friendly staff, quick service, and reasonably priced. We shared the bruschetta and hummus. Then I had the chicken breast pita. Everything tasted fresh. The pita bread was warm and soft. The hummus had great flavor and not drenched in extra oil. The bruschetta was so simple and yummy, fresh tomatoes over a pesto with a sprinkle of parm on top.
It was just enough food and really hit the spot. If I lived here I'd love to come back for another meal. I loved the open air setting, friendly service and great food. -

I'm no expert on Greek food, but as far as I'm concerned Cyprus Grill does it as well as anyone. The Spartan Club (a massive pita sandwich stacked with gyro toppings, grilled chicken, lamb and hot sauce) is one of those dishes I crave, even when i can't finish it all. The service is always terrific, and it's located right by Trader Joe's, so you can grab some good, cheap bottles of wine while you're there.

My first experience with Cyprus was about 4 years ago. My husband was living in the neighborhood, but I was still in denial about moving to the Valley. It was like a little vacation to come to "the city" and stay in our Biltmore apartment. The novelty wore off quick once I moved here, but I still enjoy Cyprus. It makes a nice precursor to a movie at AMC. At Cyprus, my husband and I can both get get pitas, hummus, and drinks...or we can share the water fountain and 7 kernels of popcorn at the movies for the same price.
My favorite part about Cyprus is the pita bread. It's thick cushy pita, not the flavored cardboard pita they somehow manage to split open to make a pocket. I'm a little partial to the chicken souvlaki with it's tangy tzatziki sauce, crunchy cucumbers, fresh lettuce and tomato. The hummus is always tasty, although I seem to remember it being just a little better in the old days. Not sure if they changed the recipe, or its just me remembering it differently.
The only downside, the last two times I've been in we have been waited on by girls. What happened to the Greek Gods? Minus a star for that! -

A pleasant joint to get your hummus, gyros, and tzaziki on.
What it lacks in ambiance (although being next door to Trader Joe's in the Town & Country Shopping Center doesn't hurt anyone), it makes up for with really friendly service and good food. I recently had the hummus plate and the chicken skewered kebabs (they have some greekish name but I forgot) and my friend got the moussaka, which was devoured in no time.
Honestly speaking, it's not the most mind-blowing Greek food I've ever had, but Cyprus Pita is definitely good enough to go back again. And a hit amongst the many misses this strip mall has to offer... -

How in the world do I work out at LA Fitness and haven't ever spotted this place? Tonight I happen to drive into the plaza from the opposite end and happened to spot this place. After a sweaty work out, I wasn't feeling like cooking (shocker) and decided to try it out. On this random Wednesday evening there happened to be a solid amount of patrons which was a relief since I hadn't yelped it prior.
The girls directed me to the counter and I ordered the chicken souvlaki that comes with rice and a salad (or fries but not for me). It was up pretty quick and the fumes overtook my car as I drove home. When I sat down to eat, I pondered retrieving the Sriracha and told myself to give it a chance without it. I'm glad I did as the meal was perfectly seasoned. The chicken came off the skewers nicely and clearly had been marinating for the right amount of time. The salad had right size chopped cucumbers and tomatoes with a generous amount of feta cheese. It also came with pita and two sauces, but feta is enough of a spread for me.
I'm pretty sure I'll be back to Cyprus often- the convenience is huge for me (right next to my gym), it is on the healthy side and the food rocks. I'll be sure to update when I do so. -

I stopped by the Cypress Pita Grill last weekend and treated myself to a salad and side of greek fries. The portions were large... the "side order" of fries would have been plenty for two people to share.
My salad was filled with all my favorite stuff... crisp lettuce, tomato, olives, and feta surrounded by soft pita triangles. The fries were swimming in feta and dressing... mmm, so good.
I'm looking forward to going back and stuffing myself on more fries! -

Located in the Town and Country Plaza in Phoenix on 20th St. and Camelback, Cyprus Pita Grill appropriately brings excellent food and ambiance.
I have eaten at this restaurant dozens of times and can say that they are consistently wonderful. The management is so charming! The owner is from the island country of Cyprus.
There is some nice artwork on the walls and interesting decor. The restaurant is wide open but intimacy doesn't suffer. Lighting is subdued and slightly romantic although there is no reason to feel awkward if eating alone. There is also a nice patio on two sides of the restaurant perfect for people watching or getting a breath of fresh air.
The food is superb! My favorites are hummus, chicken souvlaki (grilled chicken on skewers), and the Greek fries. Do yourself a favor and order the Greek fries! They are French fries smothered in feta cheese and seasonings. If you like feta cheese and fries separately you are going to fall in love with the combination!! They also just started serving flaming cheese which is sauted in brandy and ouzo, lit a flame, and served table side. Very flavorful and dramatic.
A quaint restaurant with excellent food in a nice part of Phoenix makes Cyprus Pita Grill well worth the visit. -

I have to admit that I started going to Cyprus because they are part of the Lunchclub and offered a coupon. After that, I was pretty much hooked on the Spartan Club.
I got burnt out quick though. Since it was closer to work than Pita Jungle, my coworkers and I went there a lot. I've ordered the chicken salad, kabob plate, salmon salad, pesto fries and I need to space out my visits now.
The staff is quick and friendly, especially during the crowded lunch hour. The guys at work also don't mind coming here because the girls who work there are good looking too, otherwise known as "talent."
So if you're not coming for their awesome food, at least come check out the chicks. Just kidding- they are actually a nice crew of people. -

Cypress Pita Grill is great little restaurant to grab a quick snack, an afternoon beer, or a light dinner. The restaurant is located in the Town & Country plaza, next to Trader Joe's. It's a pleasant enough atmosphere, with a small dining room and plenty of outdoor seating. The waitstaff can be hit and miss, but I've never had anything less than acceptable service.
You have to try the greek fries!!! They are amazing-- with this zesty lemon sauce and feta cheese. Pure heaven! I can dream of nothing else now. The rest of the food is always good. I wouldn't say "amazing," but definately healthy, light and filling. The veggies in the greek salad are always fresh, and the meat tastes slow grilled-- nice and tender. This is a great place to go when you are looking for a laid back meal any time of the day.
UPDATE: I've upped to to 5 stars. Today I tried their white peach sangria. Yes, folks-- they have sangria. Two kinds, I might add. It's heavenly. Go there! Now! Get some for yourself!!!Listed in: Top Restaurants

Stopped in here for a late lunch right in the middle of the storm that was blowing through on Tuesday. It was late afternoon and nasty outside so the restaurant was empty except for my friend and I.
Cute, small cafe with the usual wall murals and decorative touches that are pretty much the standard in restaurants like this.
We both completely enjoyed our food. And there was LOTS of it.
But what REALLY made our meal was the mushroom brie bisque they were serving. Yummy, yummy, yummy. Can't even tell you how good it was. Served with some pita triangles on the side....it just hit the spot. I'm usually not a 'soup person'...but with the nasty weather...and I was pretty wet and cold from running to the restaurant from the car...and just the name alone....MUSHROOM....BRIE...BISQUE....well, I just had to have some. And it TOTALLY lived up to expectations.
Fast, friendly service. Great food. I'll be back....even if they aren't serving the mushroom brie bisque that day. But it would DEFINITELY help. -

Someday I'll branch out and try some other dishes, but the Chicken Cesar Pita keeps me coming back!
Chicken is always hot, lettuce always fresh and well chilled - The perfect combination! And at $4.95, you can't beat it! I actually like the fact that it's served on a traditional pita (taco style), not a burrito pita like most other pita joints. -

had lunch here today outside with the girlfriend and my mother. I have to say we were pretty blown away with the size of the hummus plate, 3 pieces of pita with a good 3/4 to full cup of hummus, for under 4 bucks.
I had the chicken pita, tasted great had onion, tomato, cucumber, and tzataiki, freakin awsome! my girlfriend had the gyro pita and loved it. My mom had the lamb pita and says it was awsome... unfortunantly we were all being greedy and didn't want to share our pitas. I also ordered two falafel, best i've found, crunchy outside with a crazy mixture of being dense and light, you could taste all the flavor on the front of your tongue and the spice at the back of your tongue. We'll be heading back pretty soon I hope.
Also Lisa I think we spotted you there sitting outside. not sure it was you since you where sitting behind me and next to some folks with their dog. -

This is a solid Greek establishment in the Phoenix area for the lunch crowd. It's not the absolute best greek food/gyro shop I have ever had, but considering the comparison is with Gyro's on the Island of Santorini, its probably pretty good.
First off, stay away from anything on the menu that does not contain the words Spartan and Club. There you go, now you know what to order. The Spartan Club is magic in your mouth. It is two pieces of gyro bread with gyro meat, chicken, lettuce and tomato. Grab some sriracha and spice it up a bit, and there isn't a better combination. If this beast of a sandwich (dare you to eat a whole one), isn't enough for you, order some of the Greek fries. They come topped with Feta and Garlic sauce. They are super as well.
The only reason that Cyprus Pita does not get the five star rating is that this is all that I have one the menu. I have had a few other menu items, but I don't venture out of these two any more.Listed in: Phoenix - Where I call home!

I got takeout here today and was not disappointed. The soup of the day was Mushroom Brie Bisque...I mean, how could you go wrong with those ingredients?? It was everything I hoped for: creamy, savory, luscious, yummy. I wish I'd gotten a bowl instead of a cup.
I also got an order of dolmades. Usually dolmades are cold and often very dense and "rice-y," which can be a turn-off for me. These were warm and almost saucy inside, and served with a warm tangy lemon-cream sauce. Delicious.
And there was plenty of warm oiled pita bread, nice and moist to sop the dolmades sauce up.
I'll definitely be back! -

I frequent here for lunch. I adore their Pita's. They make it really tasty and consistent every time. Their menu is typical Greek, humus dip, lamb/pork skewer with rice, gyro's with side of crispy fries.
A thing to know is you line up and order your food at the register and you obtain a number and just find an open seat.
You can't go wrong at all! Guaranteed to hit the spot! -

Love me some Spartan Club! This place is really relaxed and convenient location wise. They have a system where you order at the counter and pay there and your food is brought to whatever table you're sitting at which is good for me because I hate when servers ask me every five minutes if my food tastes okay or if I want a refill. When I'm eating I want to enjoy the company of the person sitting across from me, not the server. As far as drink refills go I have legs that are fully functional and am a big boy. Anyway cool spot and will defiantly be going back again and again:)
