23 Best Greek Restaurants near Pasadena

“Never had batter beef Showerma in usa thumbs up for ABU KABAB I highly recommend it you must try“

“Phone in your order to speed up the wait. I usually get the garlic chicken panini. It's so so so very good. Keep in mind the limited hours. I wish they were open for dinner. It's also one of the few places you can still get a copy of the Pasadena Weekly.

Parking: If you don't see a spot to park in front, just park in the back. You enter the parking lot on the west side of the building. There's always an empty parking spot in back, but not as shaded.“

“I've been coming to the spot for probably over 10 years and the experience overall has been solid. The owners are always really polite, the food is put together ridiculously fast, and the flavors are pretty familiar and flavorful as you would expect from Mediterranean food. I will say, that perhaps there's a little bit of shrinkflation because most restaurants, the portions just seem a little smaller. I think for this cafe, everything is pretty much the same with high quality hummus, tasty rice, fresh salad, but I think the meat portions are a little smaller than I remember a year ago. Also, this round, my lamb skewers were a bit overcooked and on the dry side. But, perhaps this is just an anomaly for this visit. I'm going to try again probably this month!“

“Amazing food and the staff were so incredibly nice! I keep telling everyone about it. I’m coming BACK.“

“Nice service with a lovely intimate atmosphere. This place has so much potential to be amazing. It’s not traditional Greek food and the flavor disappointed a bit for some dishes however, the lamb and wagyu skewer were INSANELY good but insultingly small.“

“Had an unexpectedly wonderful lunch by picking this place on a whim! The owner of the Greek Cafe was very engaging and polite. The food was ALL freshly made and absolutely delicious. All the dishes are freshly made to order and was willing to make accomodations for food allergies. If you are looking for authentic and a true taste delight THIS is the place. Strongly recommend it!“

“I recently dined at here at Luna Grill to try it for my first time.
What truly elevated the experience, though, was the outstanding service provided by Chris. He was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely enthusiastic about making sure we had a great time. Chris offered excellent recommendations (The flat cut chicken is amazing.) and handled a small request for a customization with ease and a smile. His friendly demeanor and professionalism made us feel welcomed and well taken care of from the moment we walked in.“

“Our family comes to Elena’s almost every other week. It’s the best Armenian-Mediterranean restaurant in Glendale. From their juicy kabobs to their tasty hummus and falafels, it’s a place that is hard to beat. I honestly don’t have another kabob spot with the level of service Elena, who also happens to be our hostess, delivers. Great place - consistently good food - competitive prices. ::chefs kiss::“

“New favorite shawarma place hands down! 🙌🏽 I was recommended this place by a good friend and wow it definitely held up to the hype. I ordered pick up, because I was feeling lazy on a Saturday night. I ordered the 12 inch lamb and beef gyro shawarma wrap and the fries it up with beef and it was so fresh, clean and delicious. highly recommend! The place was clean and tidy and food was ready promptly after I ordered! I would share a picture of the wrap but I ate it so fast I forgot. So gooood!“

“Yummy food. Big portions snd economical Had chicken kabob plate. Comes with pita bread hummus abd cucumber salad abd rice. Couldn’t finish“

“Amazing service, great food, and tons of options. Lupita’s is truly a gem hidden in plain sight.

We ordered the machaca burrito, a large menudo, and a torta for our baby. They were incredibly accommodating and customized the torta exactly how he wanted it, egg with ham, and he absolutely loved it, which says a lot because he’s a picky eater. The menudo was delicious, and I appreciated that you can order it with or without hominy.

The machaca burrito was so good my husband inhaled it in under 60 seconds. The staff was super attentive and kept the coffee coming, which made the experience even better.

The whole place feels very homey, like being transported straight to Mexico. We’ll definitely be back to try more items on the menu.“

“Looking for a quick lunch my buddy and I dropped by this spot on the way home from the gym.

I got the soup of the day and was recomended a gyro by Nick himself. My buddy got burger and fries. Everything was seasoned excellently and with attention to detail.

The soup hit the spot and the gyro filled me up and when we were just about finished with our meal Nick's wife brought us some lemon cake she baked herself it was awesome.

If you're in Montebello looking for some Greek food I highly suggest checking them out.

Parking: They have a lot with about 10 parking spots and the streets near by have free parking too.“

“Certainly not the only one, but definitely a wonderful choice to get Mediterranean food for lunch or a quick dinner. The place is located in a a cute little building (missed it on the first drive-by) with a mini garden to sit outside at one of four tables. The food is delicious, freshly prepared, cleanly presented. Hit on the menu - I was told - is the Chipotle Chicke. I went for the lamb gyros and the spinach dip - and loved both: Everything was tasty - and good to come back another time - so four stars :-) Now, thank you for reading my comment. Now, if you are curious enough about my "rating scheme", here's "the moment of truth. I am a music photographer who travels the world with the worlds greatest musical talents (Michael Jackson, AC/DC, Rolling Stones or Rammstein, to name a few) for almost 40 years. When being asked "where do you live" I tended to ask "in hotels". At my peak, I "shot" 250 shows a year. Will say: been there, saw and tasted it, and a lot, as I may say and much to the dismay of my doctor who is in my back to lose a few pounds. Quite a few, as I may add, which is why my wife and I walk ten thousand steps per day, where- and whenever we can - and explore a lot of new exciting places - places you may oversee when just driving by. While I love to share my experience with others, I am sometimes shocked how people use their "power of word" to down-rate amazing places because of minor incidents (in my all time favourite​ restaurant Le Petit Four on Sunset Plaza the owner was even called a racist as he refused to toast the (free) bread in his packed restaurant - they simply do not offer toasted bread, as no French​ place does, as I may add). Or I just read "Chicken piccata so over-salted I hope the dog enjoys the leftovers tomorrow, I brought home most of the dish." Did they speak to their service? How could the restaurant learn that something was wrong when patrons even have their leftovers​ boxed to take home? As a dog owner,​ I want to take the writer and shake him or her really bad and say "you give over-salted food to your dog? Anyone with a bit of brain understands this is a horrible idea...​ I hope you agree. So If I had the say on this portal, I would offer just to see ratings of my friends. So I would see what the ratings were by like-minded people. Sadly, I have no say. I try not to compare apples with oranges. A place like this simply does not compare to "The Ritz". At first,​ I assume that a restaurant is clean, they do not greet you with a gun - and they deliver whatever they promise. I do not give stars for things that are expected. In my rating scheme, three or more stars are awarded if they actually exceeded my expectation. Four, if I am sure I will come back. To achieve five stars, I must be willing to take a detour of thirty minutes or more to go again. Again, thank you for reading this.“

“Lots of vegan choices here with faux meats. I ate my falafel and fries. The fries were a light golden, crunchy outside fluffy inside, generous portion, but it costs extra. The falafel (about five in the wrap) was good, a little dry, but good chickpea flavor 5/5...but I wished the lettuce wasn't so "spring mix from a supermarket bag" and clubky chunky...I like to see more finesse...but the pita was the thick fluffy kind and the sandwich was well wrapped so you could hold it without too much falling out. I enjoyed the cute Sierra Madre ambiance inside...though I was kept waiting so long in the place i nearly left...about 12 minutes alone before someone emerged from the back, without as much of a welcome or greeting. Well, I was excited to be there at least. Anyway, no check ins from any server but I tipped the guy 15 percent anyway, and he did thank me for that. I ordered a beef and chicken combo with rice and the proteins were grrrreat 5/5. It survived the half-hour drive home. Suggestion: Ask to have the pita bread packaged outside the container. The pita was under the proteins...alas mushy soggy unrecognizable....not smart, sorry. So if you want pita that isn't mush, beg to have the pita on the side. One star less because of that decision to put bread on the bottom for a takeout order. My mom didn't get any pita 0/5 and that's a shame bec it was the fluffy kind.“

“the service treatment & hospitality“

“Hey...everybody I would like to encourage you to support our local business during this pandemic times.I DO highly recommend DONA MARTA'S KITCHEN RESTAURANT because she has that special SAZON which reminds me to my grandmother. There you can eat a variety of ANTOJITOS MEXICANOS....of course mine is ENCHILADAS ROJAS DE SALSA GUAJILLO....“
