I love this restaurant and the staff! The food is DELICIOUS and the portions are satisfying. My favorite items are the Souvlakis, the salads, the greek potatoes, and the HUMMUS. Located in the the Elmwood Village with parking on the street and in the back this is the perfect place for every meal. See you there! More

Cute little spot in the heart of Elmwood! Food is very tasty and sizable portions. My chicken soulavi salad was loaded and filling. The gyros are amazing! Falafel was a little overdone but still good! Chicken is tender and we'll seasoned. Great spot for lunch. More

How is the food? Good service? I can't tell because I never got served. I would give no stars, but need at least one to post. After I was ignored for more than 10 minute (the place was virtually empty with several servers) a table of 4 sat next to me and we're served almost immediately. Apparently the waitresses are able to decide to wait a more profitable table and ignore single diners. Know this if you tend to diners alone. I left immediately once the others were served before me, not to return no matter the size of my group.

I was going through Buffalo and had top for the Avgolemono (creamy lemon, chicken and rice) soup and Saganaki Opa (fried Kefalotyri goat cheese, with lemon wedges and a warm pita). So simple, yet so satisfying and filling. Just like I remembered. My waitress was so friendly. I enjoyed my lunch. I will make a point of stopping in when I have to go through or stay in Buffalo again. You need to try Mythos Restaurant for yourselves.

I like good portion sizes, solid Greek food, and friendly service in a casual atmosphere. This place delivered on all of those. We ordered the Chicken and beef souvlaki dinner, and gyros. The chicken was perfectly grilled and juicy and the gyros was tasty. The beef was a tad on the dry side. The potatoes and rice were great. We also had a child's pizza meal, it was just a pita with sauce and cheese slopped on it and heated up. It was quite expensive for what it was, though the kid liked it.

One of my favorites spots to go get a traditional Greek restaurant breakfast in Buffalo. So many of the classics spots have closed down and its good to see that one still stands. This is one of those classic steak and egg breakfasts after going out. I love it! More

Just an all around incredibly solid Greek diner. If you want that sort of thing (God knows I do) I can't think of a better place for it. Food is a step above its peers and the seating area by the windows makes for a great spot to grab lunch and people watch More

The portion was huge! Place was clean, service was okay. Easy to ask for anything you might need. We had to take some home. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the lamb. Affordable price point as well. Will be back if we are in the area.

Great saganaki cheese! I also liked the morning mimosa sunrise cocktail. I was upset by my dish with eggs Benedict, the eggs were overcooked and I didn’t like homemade potatoes, just not my taste( servers are very nice and polite.

This is our go-to place for Greek food. The chicken souvlaki has very large pieces of juicy meat plus warm pita bread. The original gyro also comes with a big salad. Do not skip the triple chocolate threat cake!

We got here around 8 PM with a group of six and the food came out super fast (probably since they close at 9). Everything tasted great and I’d definitely recommend it. Restrooms were okay, and there’s parking right behind the restaurant for $2/hour, which was really convenient. More

I have been to Mythos many of times. Usually everything is good, sometimes things are great. But overall they are pretty consistent.
Their souvlaki breakfast, lunch or dinner is a great option. I like their souvlaki chicken and beef. I do wish there was a pork option.
The spanakopita pictured looks a little over toasted however it was actually quite tasty.
The beef souvlaki breakfast was great!
The chicken souvlaki melt on a pita was very enjoyable!
Service is usually quick and friendly. The restaurant has a family vibe. Mythos is a reliable choice for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

I have been to mythos three times. The food is great, better than most other places offering an insight into greek cuisine in buffalo. The interiors of the restaurant are not the greatest if you are out for a cozy evening. The prices are affordable and the serving size are generous.
