Built on scratch, passed down by hand

Despina's Mediterranean Taste has been feeding downtown Binghamton since 2008 — built from scratch by one remarkable chef and carried forward by people who refuse to cut corners.

This is the most consistently perfect quality food I've ever had! I've been there about 10 times and the gyro has been perfect every single time! Somehow, their pita bread tastes like it was just made each time I get it!

I came in for a lamb gyro, and it couldn't have been better. Best gyro I've had since I've been in New York. And the potato salad I got was also amazing. So much flavor, you have to try this place.

Moussaka, Greek pasta, and Greek salad is to die for! This is one of the best meals I've ever had. Extremely flavorful and authentic. Despina and her staff are so friendly. I love picking up lunch from her at the Broome County Farmers Market on Saturdays!

Amazing food. The hummus was fresh and delicious. The gyro was one I'll drive the hour to come back for. Recommend this place for Mediterranean food lovers.
