The Fat Greek started in Copenhagen in 2018. We wanted gyros that tasted like a home-cooked meal from Greece, and there was nowhere in the city for authentic flame-grilled gyros. So we set out to bring the taste of a Greek summer to Denmark.

When Greeks say: Πάμε στον χοντρό (“Let’s go to The Fat Greek”)

It means “let’s go to the place where the chef is well fed” — and the food is good.

We flame-grill for the taste, the way our Greek family did over an open fire. The recipes have been passed down and refined. We marinate the meat so it stays tender, the dips and spreads are made in house, and many of the products come from Greece.
