The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill Opens New Restaurant in Danville

The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill, a restaurant concept specializing in fresh takes on classic Mediterranean cuisine, opened a new location in downtown Danville, at 405 Railroad Ave. in Iron Horse Plaza. Franchise owner Amarendra Thummeti operates the 2,000-square-foot, fast-casual restaurant with his wife and family.

The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill offers a menu featuring modern interpretations of Mediterranean favorites served in an elevated fast-casual atmosphere. Guests can enjoy classic dishes like the Great Greek Gyro as well as Lamb, Steak and Chicken Souvlaki Plates that are complemented by the restaurant’s fresh Greek salads and four signature house-made dips, including Hummus, Tzatziki, Melitzanosalata (eggplant dip) and Tirokafteri (spicy roasted red pepper).

“We’re pleased to offer these fresh, flavorful meals to the community,” said Amar, an information technology professional who also owns a consulting firm and hopes to open additional locations of The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill in a statement. “We invite everyone to visit and enjoy the best food in the area. I especially recommend the Grilled Chicken Souvlaki, cooked to perfection with Tzatziki sauce and served on a bed of rice with pita bread.”

Fulfilling the brand’s mission to Live Deliciously, everything is prepared in-house with high-quality ingredients that bring traditional flavors from recipes used for generations. The concept offers a wide variety of customizable options, including the Classic Greek Salad or Rice Bowl with a choice of gyro meat, salmon and more. Guests can indulge in unique offerings like made-to-order, fresh Feta Fries and must-have desserts like Baklava Ice Cream and Rice Pudding.
