The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill Expands with New Maitland Location

MAITLAND, FL (March 11, 2024) — The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill®, a fast-casual restaurant known for its fresh, healthful cuisine, is opening a new location at 701 Maitland Blvd., Suite 100, in Maitland. The 1,900-square-foot eatery is owned by Kevin Carmean, a local entrepreneur who also opened the concept’s nearby Winter Garden, Lake Nona and downtown Orlando locations.

To commemorate the opening, the eatery will host a community celebration on March 23 where everyone is a winner:

• The first 21 guests who dine at the restaurant that day will win prizes, like free Feta Fries, Gyros and more, with one lucky winner receiving free Gyros for a year.
• Those who sign up for the restaurant’s rewards program will receive a free t-shirt while supplies last.

The Maitland restaurant will also host a fundraiser on April 10 where 25 percent of the proceeds from sales for the day will be donated to Fresh Start Ministries of Central Florida to support its mission of providing men who are struggling with addiction the help that they need so they can continue to work and support their families.

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

“I’m thrilled to offer those who work and live in the Maitland-area the opportunity to experience the quality and variety of delicious cuisine that our restaurants have to offer,” said Carmean, an avid traveler who first invested in The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill in 2019. “We provide fresh, satisfying food with a focus on quality that perfectly fits our guests’ busy but health-conscious lifestyles.”

Fulfilling the brand’s mission to Live Deliciously, everything is prepared in-house with top-notch ingredients that bring traditional flavors from family recipes that have been used for generations. Guests can customize their meals, like the Classic Greek Salad or Rice Bowl, with a choice of Gyro Meat, Salmon or other protein options. They can indulge in unique offerings, like made-to-order Feta Fries and must-have desserts like Baklava Ice Cream and Mom’s Rice Pudding.

The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill also specializes in catering large parties, events and meetings. It is perfect for family gatherings, offering memorable, mouthwatering Mediterranean spreads complete with bold flavors that leave a lasting impression.
