One of Columbus' best restaurants. The food is great. The atmosphere is family friendly, casual, but nice. The night we were there, one employee worked the house and two or three worked the kitchen. Despite the lack of personnel, service was prompt and friendly. The one house worker also handled all calls, all pick-up orders, and all walk-ins placing to-go orders. The kitchen staff had no problem keeping up. We enjoyed the appetizers of olives with feta, and the fried calamari. Our entrees were the seafood trio and the salmon. Both were excellent. If you've not had Greek wines, they offer several reds and several whites. They deserve sampling. Greek whites, especially, have more robust qualities than wines grown in cooler climates.

I visited with a large group in town for Origins Game Fair. Our organizer said this was a great restaurant that he returned to every year, and having been there, I see why. The building is beautiful, the service great, and the food about the best Greek food I have ever had. I ordered the Dolmades. The grape leaves were stuffed with ground lamb and beef, and wow, the seasoning was great. I especially loved the lemon sauce over the top. It came with a salad on the side, and every component was super fresh, including the dressing. I would happily eat here again.

A nice little restaurant right by gooddale downtown, plenty of parking nearby. Had a cute little patio in the back. Came in and friendly server, fast service. Got the tiger shrimp to start. Came with some pita and was surprisingly filling. Tiger shrimp was shrimp cooked in tomatoes and feta, very flavorful. Got the gyro platter for one of us and the spicy gyro the other. The fries were on point on the gyro platter. Flavorful gyro meat and good tzatziki sauce. Came with a little salad too which was nice. The spicy gyro was unexpected, but very good. , it was like a gyro meat stir fry with onions and peppers served on top of hummus.

What a wonderful place. I went with three friends and we all loved our food. We had the Shawarma platter, Chicken Lemonato and chicken on hummus. They have great pita bread, Greek salad, tzatziki, and we had some fabulous Greek wine. The staff was friendly and attentive. Highly recommended,!

What an experience! Our server was so cool, he was working so hard and the restaurant was busy, cheer up!! The food was good, I couldn't share anything with my husband! He got baby lamp chops and he said it was the best so far and he was so happy that he trust our server! Pair with his red wine, I thought he was drunk haha! He looked too happier than when I cooked him food!

Went here on our way to Teddy Swims after the place we wanted to go didn’t look great. Food and atmosphere felt very authentic. Delicious all the way around. While service could have been just slightly better, it was a Monday night, so taking that into consideration, couldn’t be happier with my experience or food at Happy Greek.

I'm not sure how to rate this so let me start with the positive....food was very good. The tiger shrimp appetizer was excellent, highly recommend. My gyro was good with plenty of meat (I couldn't even eat it all). My side Greek salad only came with one olive though . Hubby got the spicy gyro and really liked it. Karen, our server was excellent. Very attentive and ready to help with any questions. My complaints...only one olive, citrus cooler drink was less than average tasting, they didn't remove the items requested from one of our meals. Hubby had to order a miller light because they said the Michelob ultra was out, but Karen went the extra mile and found some in the cooler So they are getting a 4 star but I would prefer to give a 3.5 However, I would return to give them another try because the food was really good.

This place was so gooood. I came back 2 days in a row. I'm also happy to support local restaurants. This restaurant is run by a Greek family, and their food is absolutely outstanding. The lamb was delicious, their hummus was on point, and their spicy chicken was amazing. Honestly, everything on their menu was great. This place was popping when I went and my girlfriend loved it so much. The staff was super helpful and friendly. The food came out surprisingly fast as well. It's definitely a must if you are in Columbus.
