I ordered from DoorDash. I was called by Management that they were unfortunately out of what I had ordered, and it would be a few hours before they would have it freshly made because they were in process of making a large portion.. Management then decided because I wanted it so bad they would make a separate portion just for me so it would be done in time so I would have it. This restaurant went above and beyond for me and I greatly appreciate them for that. The spinach pie was absolutely amazing And highly recommended.

Ordered the village salad with a side of tabouli and a falafel wrap for take out. Delicious and fresh ingredients! There was one olive pit in my salad and almost broke my tooth lol

Amazing food. The hummus was fresh and delicious. The gyro was one I’ll drive the hour to come back for. Recommend this place for Mediterranean food lovers.

This is the most consistently perfect quality ‘fast food’ (order from counter, then your food is prepared fresh) I’ve ever had! I’ve been there about 10 times and the gyro has been perfect every single time! Somehow, their pita bread tastes like it was just made each time I get it!
High prices ($12 – $13 for an incredible gyro & baby salad, no drink) were easier to pay when Despina’s was on Hawley Street. That was a beautiful restaurant! Now they moved to Main St (nice clean place but smaller and more ‘historical’ interior) to a place that looks like it’s about half the rent, but same high prices came with them.
The food is WELL worth the ‘high’ price. It just means I go there a few times per year instead of a few times per month.

Moussaka , Greek pasta , and Greek salad is to die for! This is one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Extremely flavorful and authentic. Despina and her staff are so friendly. I love picking up lunch from her at the Broome county farmers market on Saturdays!

One of the healthiest place in town. The food quality is top notch, everything is made from scratch, and is delicious. Homely inside and great family owned service. This place deserves more love.

A nice little find for some tasty medditeranean flavors! Very reasonable prices for the quality and tastes they put out. The hummus was extremely good; creamy and silky smooth. The pitas that came with it were noticeably fresh and still warm, and that was the same with the pita for our gyros! The fries were made fresh in house through air frying and had some great flavor from their seasoning. I highly recommend a side of tzatiki for dipping. Certainly a place to stop by whenever you’re looking for something both filling and light at the same time!

Today when going in, to pick up my order, the older lady working the kitchen was being beyond nasty to the young man working register and communicating the orders to her. He was clear and concise and was being told to “shut up” and that he “never told me that” when he had repeated himself upwards of three times about the order in question. I have never seen such disrespectful treatment in service even being someone who’s worked service for quite a while. He deserves better treatment, and I will never be going back to support someone who disrespects her staff like that openly in front of customers. Props to him for keeping his composure and not just walking out on her after how he was treated. It was truly disappointing and disgusting.
