When residents across the county put in their orders for $5 gyros at Big Greek Cafe on Wednesday, July 14th, they saw that the price had increased to $6– the first time the price of the Wednesday gyro special had increased in over a decade.

“Since 2009 we’ve held onto that price of $5 gyro.  Unfortunately due to the rise in cost due to the current drastic increases, we can no longer sustain that price and we had to make the hard decision to raise the price by $1” Big Greek Cafe ownership told us.

While a couple folks went to social media to mention the slight increase, most defended the beloved Greek restaurant’s decision to add $1 to the price…which is still over 30% less than the regular price of $8.95.

Big Greek Cafe currently has five MoCo locations (Bethesda, Downtown Silver Spring, Hillandale, Kensington, and Rockville) as well as their food truck “Big Greek on Wheels.”

Big Greek Cafe Hillandale is Now Open!

Big Greek Cafe has become one of the most popular restaurants in MoCo in recent years, having opened four locations across the county (Bethesda, Downtown Silver Spring, Kensington, and Rockville).

Recently they debuted “Big Greek on Wheels,” a food truck that will bring some of their menu items right to your neighborhood.

It has taken over the former home of Urban Bar-B-Que at 10163 New Hampshire Ave in the Hillandale shopping center, next to Chipotle.
