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 here for years for the beef plate beef kebab. The food is great. The salad is also top-notch as well as the nice air conditioning dining area for those hot days. If you want you could even sit outside in the patio either way it’s an all-around good experience and a good place to eat good healthy food“

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

“ Greekmans does it for me every time! The food is great and I love the wine selection. It can get quite lively and noisy when sitting inside on busier evenings. Like a quiet experience, try a Tuesday evening. It has an easy casual vibe, and the food is very consistent. I'll be back.“

“The restaurant is located next door to the burnt down Bunny Museum. We arrived after walking from the Christmas Lane tree ceremony. I was surprised that the restaurant was empty for dinner but the owner was stating since the street was closed off nobody could get through in their cars. I ordered the Gyro sandwich and the lentil soup. The sandwich was big and it was more than enough food to fill me up. My other half stated the lentil soup was probably one of the best she has ever tasted. While we waited for our food the restaurant started getting packed with customers.“

“My server was very social and extremely polite. She was hands-on with anything that I needed and I’ll definitely be coming back for the food. It is fresh and healthy, which is something I’ve been need to get into lately and I enjoy it. Five stars for Cindy.“

“I’m a restaurant publicist and this is my first time getting takeout from Elena’s; I really enjoyed it. I got a Gyro Plate— the portions were large, the meat was tender, the sides were equally as delicious. The entire meal was exactly what I wanted. You can tell immediately that there’s heart in this spot, they even decorated for the holidays! I’d 100% order again.“

“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“

“Fabulous food, delicious“

“Excellent food (and service) at good prices. Dinner plates are hearty with plenty of food to split in half. Thank you!“

“My father was a major foodie and was always out finding new places to go and food to try. Always eating what he wasn't supposed to lol. He brought us for breakfast one day and we havent stopped going.

The staff is very hospitable in a latin family way. My son and I are familiar faces and always are treated with the most kind smiles and warmest welcomes. I suggest this place 100%. They do close at 4, so make it for breakfast or and early lunch. Street parking only, it is in a residential area so it can be tricky. Sadly, the homeless take up alot of the sidewalk where there is parking. You may have to walk a bit.“

“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.“

“the service treatment & hospitality“

“Great food and it’s very cheap, I recommend it to anybody.“

“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.“

“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....“
