14 Best Greek Restaurants near Santa Monica

“Greek Salad is nice and the workers are nice. I tried chicken gyro but it is far far away from what it tastes like in Greece, the only familiar taste was the pita bread. The tzatziki sauce is also bland, needs more improvment. Overall it's an okay place that I would recommend to eat at.“

“Truly authentic Greek. Portions generous. Price surprisingly reasonable. Feels like a real honest place.
Shd book in advance. They looked real busy the Sunday we went for lunch. Still, the service was good, our Peruvian host Kiara never missed a beat, or gentle smile.
Sunday is our preferred day to come when we are missing Greek cuisine, vis there’s the Mar Vista farmers market to enjoy too just 60 yards across road.“

“An amazing dining experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried exceeded our expectations. The attention to detail and high-quality ingredients really stood out. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic meal!“

“Really solid spot for quick and fresh Greek food. The gyro pita was packed with flavor, the meat wasn't dry, and the tzatziki tasted homemade. It’s a very casual, laid-back place with friendly service. Great option for a healthy and satisfying lunch.“

“I came here to celebrate an anniversary with my wife, and what an amazing dining experience. When you first enter, the decor and layout is very inviting. Once we were seated, our server had great energy. The cocktail drinks are very unique, and the tasting menu is absolutely delicious and an incredible best value. All dishes are small plates, so a 5 course dinner was perfect to share. Pro tip, get two different tasting menus so you have more items to share. The dishes are substantial enough that by dish 3 we were pretty stuffed, but every course was superior! Our server and general manager were incredibly attentive and made for a very memorable dinning experience. Thank you!“

“Great Pita! It’s homemade!“

“This is easily one of my favorite places to eat near UCLA! I ordered the beef and lamb gyro Bowl, and everything tasted fresh and delicious. The meat was cooked perfectly, the vegetables were crisp, and the flavors blended so well together. Don’t skip the fresh fries—they’re hot, crispy, and addictive. Their new Pistachio cream frozen yogurt is also a refreshing treat after the meal.

What really stands out is the excellent service. Maribel provides some of the best customer service I’ve experienced. She’s friendly, professional, and always makes sure guests are taken care of. The restaurant itself is spotless, spacious, and comfortable whether you’re dining in or grabbing a quick meal. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Great food! Friendly staff and quick service. Casual atmosphere.“

“Elijah and the crew at Luna Grill are wonderful and nice! The food was delicious 😋 I’m definitely coming again! Thank you😊“

“To be honest, Luna Grill was somewhere in the middle for me. I didn’t have a bad experience, but I also didn’t leave feeling particularly impressed. The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly, and the service was quick, which I always appreciate.

The food was decent and tasted fresh, but nothing really stood out. Everything was prepared well enough, yet I never had that moment where I thought, “I can’t wait to order this again.” The portions were reasonable, the ingredients seemed good quality, and the menu offers plenty of healthy options, especially if you’re looking for Mediterranean food.

What makes this a difficult review is that there wasn’t anything wrong with my visit. The meal was perfectly acceptable, and I can understand why many people enjoy this place. At the same time, with so many restaurants in Los Angeles competing for attention, it’s hard for me to say that Luna Grill would be my first choice.

Overall, it’s a solid restaurant that does a lot of things right. If you’re in the area and want a quick Mediterranean meal, it’s worth trying. My experience was neither disappointing nor memorable—just a decent meal served by friendly people in a comfortable environment.“
