Freskos - Hamden

I get the classic gyro and fries every time! This the far best Greek food I've had near the New Haven area.

The ingredients are high quality and the flavors are always consistent and fresh! I've been ordering from here for two years now and it's one of my favorites.

Sooo good! We ate it so fast, we didn't have a chance to take pics. Came here after a field hockey clinic at Quinnipiac. We were so hungry. Chicken Slouvaki was amazing. Hummus had a lot of flavor. Cheese balls were good.

Lost a star since pita didn't come with the hummus. Was I supposed to eat it with a spoon?

Since traveling to Greece a few years ago, I had yet to find Greek food in the US that compared to the food I had in Greece. After ordering Freskos on UberEats, I realized that my search was over. This is the best Greek spot in the area! I haven't been to the physical location but I enjoy ordering delivery from here. Definitely worth a try.

What a great find! This small shop has some of the most flavorful gyros I've tried (and I've tried several in the NYC food carts). The meat was well seasoned and the tzatziki was creamy, had fresh dill, and was not runny which made it easy to eat. We also tried a slice of the portokalopita (orange cake) which was divine and a nice treat to close out the meal. No photo because we ate it too fast, but the syrup saturated the whole cake, yet it felt light and not soggy. The orange flavor was very fresh and aromatic! Highly recommend. Prices are fair for the portions, quality ingredients, and non-food truck gyros! Would highly recommend to anyone in the area!

What a lovely find. The food is 5 star - delicious fresh and authentic. I had the chicken souvlaki and greek salad and my husband had the gyro and fries. It was all very good. We thought the ambiance was a three hence the rating overall of 5. It isn't that it is not nice, but not a place where you want to have a leisurely lunch. Maybe in the spring when you can eat outdoors?

I went back to Freskos tonight to try a different menu item. I ordered the chicken souvlaki the Grandemere beans (spelling) and an order of lemon potatoes I have to say the serving sizes were quite small for $25. I should've had a huge meal with leftovers which was my plan. But actually ended up with no leftovers. The chicken souvlaki I checked the menu was supposed to have tzatziki sauce on it, There was no sauce and was quite dry. This made for a lackluster meal. The lemon potatoes were very good though.

My go-to for fresh greek food. Taramosalata is just right - not too salty - an the staff is always nice. I would highly recommend!

So this was an unexpected find in the New Haven area. I needed something to eat after going to New Haven for some errands and the off to a packet pick-up at the Multisports Academy near here, so I wanted somewhere I could sit down and eat while being close to where I could resume riding the bus back to Waterbury. Thankfully, this place fit the bill after looking at nearby places on Yelp. And apparently a 4.5 average too! Sign me up!

It's nestled in a plaza right next to the Town Hall, so you do need to be looking for it if you're planning to eat here. It's not a big place either, so keep that in mind if you do choose to eat here. For nicer weather, it's actually a pretty good find if you do happen to get there.

I did a meal for my lunch there. Chicken souvlaki, Greek fries, and a drink for $18 and change all told. Now, if you do need to take items out of your sandwich or what have you, you NEED TO MAKE SURE that you specifically tell them to leave that particular thing out. Else, prepare to turn into Messy the Slob because your food will get everything taking out the thing you didn't want. How do I know this? Because I don't eat tomatoes, so it was work taking those out and still eating the sandwich. Ignore that however and the food's really good! I don't have Greek food often, but they do seem to be really good here.

The customer service is actually really attentive here more than anything. The guy who took my order was very patient and made sure I was served quickly. He attended my table a few times, asking how my food was, if I needed my tray taken, and even wished me a good day as I left. If this is a sign of how he normally does his job, then whoever trained him in customer service definitely did right.

I only can't give a five because while I think I would need to come back and try more items from their menu to see what else they do well in. This place isn't one I usually get the chance to come by often, but for those who do live around New Haven, this is a good option, especially if you want to enjoy nice weather with outdoor seating.

Such a yummy Greek place to have around. Went on a Monday which meant a discount on gyros! Highly recommend if you are craving some Mediterranean goodness. Limited menu but worth it.

Freskos have been on my list FOREVER so I was SO EXCITED to finally make my way down to check them out after work the other night.

It's super cozy inside, and so cute, for starters. I went with a sparkling water I've never tried before and then decided to try out some of my Greek food faves.

The avgolemono is different than the type I've grown up with in the Midwest. I'd never had it with orzo before, but it was delish. The gyro was one of the best I have ever had. Ever. Had. That needed repeating. I don't know what kind of spices were used on that meat but oh my gosh it didn't even need anything else with it, you could eat it all on it's own. I paired the gyro with some of the lemon potatoes, which I chopped the leftovers into my breakfast eggs the next day and so I was able to enjoy them two days in a row.

And the baklava. Let me tell y'all about the baklava. This baklava was so thick, it's been compared to lasagne. See my photos for evidence. It has now made its way into my top 5 favorite baklavas of all time. And I eat a LOT of baklava, so believe me when I say it's a must try.

The owner was super nice and friendly, and I loved being able to support this local business. Go check them out!
