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 Café blew me away—easily the best Mediterranean food I’ve had in for a long time! The hummus and baba ghanoush were absolutely incredible—creamy, fresh, and packed with flavor. I ordered the souvlaki next, and it was tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Even though I was already full, I couldn’t resist trying the baklava… and I’m so glad I did. It was just right—flaky, not overly sweet, and the perfect finish to an unforgettable meal. Can’t wait to go back!“
