Our Family Kitchen

Greek comfort food, made the way it's made at home

Georgia runs the kitchen, cooking the food she grew up with in Kalamata. Tim, from Katerini, knows the regulars by name, and their sons Dimitri and Pandelis work right alongside them.

Police from the station up the street, nurses from St. E’s, students and neighbors all end up at the same counter for the same reason: real Greek food, made with care.

“Here it’s beautiful and nourishing.”
Sheryl Julian, The Boston Globe, on our avgolemono

Absolutely loved this place! The service was prompt and attentive, and the food was outstanding. I genuinely think this was the best chicken gyro I’ve ever had.. the chicken tasted incredibly fresh and perfectly prepared. The portions were generous, too, so you definitely get your money’s worth. If you’re craving fresh, delicious Greek food, this place is a must-try. Will absolutely be back!

Always a wonderful meal at Esperia. I normally take out for me and my wife on my way home from work, stop and have a beer while I wait. Our favorite is the Greek Salad with Grilled Chicken and a Pork Gyro. The whole staff is always very friendly

We love the chicken gyro on pita special. It’s the best gyro I know of in the Boston area. It comes with a small salad, and their dressing is phenomenal. Sometimes I switch it up and get the moussaka with a side of string beans and butternut squash purée, all of which are also great.
