Located at
6027 West Gate City Boulevard in Greensboro, Ghassan’s offers Mediterranean
cuisine from 11-9 Monday-Saturday (closed Sundays). Online ordering and
catering are available.
The newest
location of this Greensboro institution opened recently in the Grandover
Village shopping center near Publix. Those who have been to the Battleground or
Cornwallis locations (or the old Coliseum-area spot) will find few surprises
here. For the uninitiated, Ghassan’s serves up thoroughly average food quickly
and affordably.
Though it
doesn’t boast a huge menu, Ghassan’s offers a fair amount of flexibility. You
can go light with a salad, hummus, or falafel bites, dig into a sandwich or
pita, or load up on a bowl or platter. Meats include spiced chicken, kofte, and
gyro (as well as a steak sub), but there are plenty of vegetarian options as
well.
Seeking a
lighter meal that would still leave me a little left over, I opted for a gyro
pita with zaatar fries and added a side of tabouleh. Online ordering was easy,
and Ghassan’s prices are wallet friendly ($9 for the gyro and a side, $1 more
for the tabouleh). Everything was ready and waiting on a pick-up shelf when I
got there.
For as efficient
and convenient as Ghassan’s is, the food is, on average, merely OK. The zaatar fries
(crispy and nicely seasoned) are quite good, but the tabouleh didn’t distinguish
itself, and the gyro was bland. Unless you are brand-new to the
Greensboro/Jamestown/High Point area and made Ghassan’s your first stop, you’ve
likely had better Mediterranean food elsewhere.
All told,
Ghassan’s is a great place to grab a quick and healthy lunch, but if you have
the time to sit down and enjoy your meal, there are stronger contenders.
