Takis in Lady Lake, just north of Lowe's.
Greek name; but mostly lousy Italian and a few Greek dishes.

I like the more expensive combo, everything pretty good Greek, but request the meat not cooked to hell0. I ask for medium, not freakin beyond well done (their modus operadi).

Garlic knots with Greek dinner. NO !
Always argue with dum-arse servers; pita bread = greek.
(garlic/butter with Italian - maybe).
OK, if you want pita, I'll do a side order for you - $4.00 extra.
NO ! I want greek bread with a Greek dinner. "NO ! I have to charge you extra."
facepalm

Their Italian food is an insult to Italian food. And anemic white rolls with margarine and garlic powder poured on top does non equate to decent Italian bread.

I only go there for the Greek when I feel like arguing with idiots.

Takis on 441 by the Lowe's is a very good Greek/Italian restaurant. Best of both worlds.

Archangel Michael Greek Orthodox Church
 

4705 W Gulf to Lake Highway, Locanto Not as far away as it sounds.

They do a Friday dinner from 3:30 to 6:30. Its a fish dinner and a changing greek dish.

They do have a website so you can check in advance.

Their Greek Festival is also very good.

Greek Restaurant
 

Don't know Greek food per se, but Stavro's on Rt 441, Fruitland Park is Greek/Italian. Give it a try and report back.

We moved from an area that had a large Greek community and loved the food. Unfortunately, the "Greek" food we've tried in and around the Villages is no comparison. Would strongly recommend, as other here have, going to Tarpon Springs for authentic Greek.

Takis in Leesburg is okay, they say the gyros is on the spit, but something is still off. Best is the area, which isn't saying much.

I went to the same restaurant (up on 441) once... And once was enough!

The Gyro came with "pre-packaged" meat, every slice was the exact same slice and shape. Certainly not carved from the standard lamb/beef on the vertical rotisserie...

The accompanied "greek salad" also left much to be desired.

Americano's uses the same pre-packaged meat. Disappointing...

I haven't tried that one. Just the one by Spanish Springs...

There are none, unfortunately. We've tried.

We've eaten at Amerikanos many times over the years and have generally enjoyed it. It's not super-duper authentic Greek like you get at the restaurants over in Tarpon Springs, but it's not bad. My go-to dish is your basic Gyro. Maybe my memory is getting faulty but it seems like Amerikanos used to do the traditional "carved chunks from meat on a rotating spit" for they Gyros but the last time it was identically shaped slices like you'd find at a store. It didn't taste bad (these slices often do as they usually are full of soy) but it wasn't the same. Too bad. I hope they go back.

Short answer is no. Personally, I don't care for greek food. They do make decent salads.

To me if a gyro is not made the traditional way on a spit it is not worth eating.

Rumor has it there is a good one in Ocala but do not know the name.

We got takeout from Americanos earlier tonight and it was good to very good.
