Fans of The Great Greek no longer have to make the commute to Henderson. Since 2010 the casual spot on Warm Spring Road has been a popular destination for a taste of the Mediterranean. The new expansion to the southwest has debuted at the Blue Diamond Ranch Plaza, near the intersection of Decatur Boulevard and Blue Diamond Road,

The Great Greek takes the 1,935-square-foot middle space at a new retail strip, joined by the still under construction third Las Vegas home for Fruits & Roots and a Capriotti’s sandwich shop.

Featuring the same menu as the original, customers can order appetizers such as tzatziki, dolmades, stuffed grape leaves with rice and fresh herbs and traditional avgolemono soup.

Best known for its gyros, the main courses also include a falafel pita, Greek salad wraps, a selection of rice bowls, grilled steak or chicken souvlaki and baklava for dessert.
