25 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.“

“This is such an amazing little place with fantastic food! I’m Armenian, and we Armenians are very picky when it comes to foodwe truly love to eat. This was my first time stopping by, and I was genuinely surprised by how delicious everything was.

I had the cheese borek, the cheese and veggie plate, and the sampler plate, and every single item was incredible. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with care.

These guys are the best. Thank you so much—I will definitely be back again!”“

“Its my wife's birthday so we wanted something GOOD and memorable. Went to Nancy's for dinner and it was so good! Horiatiki, humus and barbecued shrimp. Pita, fresh. Humus tasty. Horiatiki delicious. Shrimp perfectly cooked and delicious. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES - chains are fine, but local eats means the money stays in the community.“

“I've been to many burger spots in my life, but I've never had a burger as good as the Chef Burger from Burger Bun. I'm talking perfectly seasoned beef, and delicious (but not overpowering) burger sauce, crisp vegetables, and the brioche bun is spectacular. There's no burger in Glendale that even comes close. The wings are also some of the best I've ever had and the homemade sauces are so, so tasty. The fries are perfect, and they have amazing milkshakes too. To top it all off, the service is ridiculously good, and the prices are fair. This is my go-to spot in town.“

“I ordered the cauliflower dish to go. The portion size was decent and the taste was fine however, I had requested no bag or utensils. When I got there, they had used an extra large bag for one small container. I carefully removed the staples so that there was no damage to the bag and it could be reused. However, the server said they could not reuse the bag and just threw it in the trash. Extremely wasteful and unnecessary and untrue.“

“I'm 9 To 10 years old the food taste really good in the atmosphere is super nice. I love the Earth core. It's like it's really like it's like really hot. The earth core is really hot in the is really good. I love the service.“

“Tried the chicken shawarma today — absolutely loved it 🔥
Everything was fresh, the chicken was juicy, and the flavors were perfectly balanced.
Honestly, one of the best shawarmas I’ve had in California.
Definitely coming back again 👌“

“I have a ritual to eat a chicken pesto sandwich with an energy drink here every time I close a deal. It's the most authentic Greek Food I've had in the City. It's the same kind of food that I was raised on so to me it's a comfort food and a reward.“

“Finally got to try this place after driving by for years, and wow, truly a hidden gem. The owner recommended the gyro, and it was delicious. Everyone was so welcoming and kind, and I honestly felt like I was at my grandparents' home having brunch. Great food and amazing service all around! Definitely bringing my family back soon!“

“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.“

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

“Fabulous food, delicious“

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

“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.“

“I tried the chicken gyro here and really enjoyed it. The place is very cozy and, most importantly, spotless clean. The taste was great, but what impressed me the most was the cleanliness and attention to detail. Wishing you the best of luck in growing your business!“

So I'll list favorites..feta fries..greek salad Chicken Shawarma..grilled chicken.. Gyro ..Chicken & Beef Kabob.. cakamari... rice .. seasoned fries..of course HUMMUS .garlic fries..a few paninis. Chicken & BEEF ANGUS KABOBS COMBO PLATES ..BAKLAVA for dessert sandwiches but I never tried there burgers“

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

“the service treatment & hospitality“

“Excellent food with the cutest decor ❤️❤️❤️ not ganna lie, I first saw the store and thought I’m ganna go in and get some lemon ice cream of some sorts 🤣 and then I go inside and was like what’s this place?🤣I we end up getting a gyro and some fries, very yummy!“

“Great experience eating here chicken is delicious“

“It was my first time here, the place looked clean. The young lady at the register was super friendly and courteous. I ordered the lamb chop plate as well as the chicken Kabob plate. The lamb chops were very tasty and tender. The ONLY thing was that the rice and lamb chops were very salty. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish my food, it was just too much salt. I'm willing to give this place a second chance only because I love lamb and they are close to me. The pros outweigh the cons and hopefully next time it won't be salty. Will keep you posted“
