6 Best Greek Restaurants near Honolulu

“Absolutely delicious and I would recommend as a must eat at Leo’s Taverna when you visit Honolulu! We ate spanakopita & gyro platter, lemony and garlic.. awesome marinade!! Opa!“

“The grilled chicken was awesome. Not sure I would have eaten much else there. For a restaurant it has really fast food vibes (but I find that many places in the US… no real plates and cutlery, all disposable crap) / but ok, the chicken was indeed legit!“

“Leo’s Taverna (Waikīkī) — 11/10

Incredible food and even more impressive service. We stopped in today and were blown away. The team (actually one person) took our order and cooked everything by himself—with an arm in a sling—and still delivered a friendly, efficient experience without missing a beat.

Food highlights:
• Garlic chicken kabab: perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with flavor.
• Falafel sandwich: excellent—balanced, satisfying, and put together with care.
• Hummus & pita: spot-on. The pita came out warm and fresh, and the hummus was exactly what you hope for.

Everything tasted fresh and was made with obvious pride. You don’t often see this level of hustle and care, let alone while working solo and injured. Major respect.

Bottom line: Leo’s Taverna is an easy recommend. If you’re anywhere near Waikīkī and want delicious Mediterranean done right, come here. I’d give this place 11/10 if I could.“

“Olive Tree Cafe is amazing! This counter-service restaurant offers delicious, high-quality, and affordable food! I was extremely impressed! The appetizers we ordered were all $7.99 or less, and the mussel ceviche stood out the most. It came with six pieces and was absolutely delicious. Oh, and don’t get me started on the feta! Definitely order extra slices—at least one per person. You won’t regret it.

For my entrée, I had the organic chicken souvlaki, which was moist and juicy. You can order it as a pita or a salad, and if you choose the pita, it comes with a side salad. We finished with the baklava, which was perfectly flaky and nutty with just the right amount of sweetness.

Did I mention it’s BYOB? Bring your favorite bottle of wine and enjoy a glass while you wait for your food—it makes the experience even better! Olive Tree Cafe is a great spot for a girls’ night out, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and even a parking lot. The service is friendly and welcoming. I’m already looking forward to my next visit with friends to share another meal here!“
