JUST AMAZING!!! Some of the best Greek food I’ve had! Little cute spot in Greektown. I LOVED their octopus and dessert! Food was very fresh and tasty, people working here are very welcoming and super nice. Make sure you bring cash, they only accept cash.

Came here for dinner with a friend and had an amazing time. The interior is well decorated and they also have some outdoor seating. There’s no shortage of Greek food in Greektown, but I was still blown away by the flavor of their food and quality of their ingredients!

This was our first time at Karellas in Greektown. We came for a late lunch around 3:00 and everything was delicious. We will definitely be back. Strongly recommend the octopus and Greek coffee.

I meant to take a picture of our food, but it was so good I forgot! We got the platters which gives you soooo much food. We got the Bifteki and Chicken Souvlaki and it was delicious. The Greek salad was very fresh and tasty as well. The inside of the restaurant feels like you’re in Greece. The staff is kind and happy to help you with the menu. Definitely recommend this spot in Greektown!

We were greated with love. The hosted was so wonderful and very informative. We ordered the octopus, mix meats and fries. The octopus was fixed to perfection and the mixed meats were very savory. I see why they have a 4.8. Enjoy!

Fantastic Greek restaurant that can rival any other in Highlandtowne. Friendly and helpful service. The menu is a bit limited compared to other place but the quality and taste of what they do have makes up for it. Also, as usual with most places in Greektown, space is limited but that’s expected for me. Definitely recommend stopping in for a bite. The cheeseballs were delicious!
