41 Best Greek Restaurants near Bethesda

“this place is a gem! I'm greek and used to own a small farm to fork restaurant .... I know good quality food and this place is IT!! this is NOT your run of the mill fake greek food , it is in fact small batch, authentic, made from scratch food that tastes great. thank you Mastiha Taverna team, you're doing a great job ✨️🧿🩵“

“Their signature thing The Gyro is spot on copious gyro meat balanced well with tomatoes, onions and tzatki. The side Greek Salad was tasty but heavy on the greens and a real Greek salad is cucumbers, tomatoes, feta, green peppers. I ordered way too much as the Gyro is a lot. Enjoy! Opa!!
PS Dolmades are cooked fresh when you order and are hot which was me to me, but also spot on. A really good side if you like Dolmades.“

“This place is a hidden gem! Don't let the fact that it's just takeout fool you, the food is absolutely amazing. I had the philly steak calzone and it was delicious, perfectly made, and well-filled. The service was also fantastic; the staff was super friendly and efficient. Highly recommend!“

“Just an incredible restaurant - amazing food out of this world our server was simply impressive with one month on the job - I can't say enough good things about him. I will always be back !!!“

“Everything about this place is amazing!“

“I had a wonderful dinner here and was immediately impressed by how authentic and flavorful everything tasted. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a classic feel that makes it a great spot for a relaxed meal. I tried several traditional dishes, and the quality of the ingredients really stood out—the lamb was cooked perfectly and the seasoning was exactly what you would hope for in a Greek kitchen. The portions were generous, and the service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. It clearly has a loyal following for a reason, as the attention to detail in the food is excellent. It is a fantastic choice if you are looking for a high-quality, traditional meal in a comfortable setting.“

“The best Greek restaurant in the DMV“

“This is my go-to on Sunday's. Great menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I love the Halloumi and Eggs. Sion - my normal server is outstanding as is the rest of the staff.

Always feel welcomed and leave feeling full.“

“Would recommend for a glass of wine and appetizer! Stopped in for dinner and the food was tasty but felt overpriced for the portions. The shrimp dish was good but shrimp were slightly overcooked and felt like a very expensive starter. The hummus was delish! Wine was great and cocktail was less than amazing.“

“Gyro and shrimp souvlaki were really tasty, as was the rice pudding! Try it!! Everyone so friendly and helpful.“

“Food is tapas style and very delicious. The espresso martini is quite lovely, too! Only drawback is it can be loud if crowded, so something to consider if folks are older or wear hearing aids. Shares parking with a grocery store, so plenty if parking.“

“The Hercules Burger is really good“

“My first time here and I was impressed with how nice and friendly the lady at the counter was. She gave me potatoes to try and lamb. It was quick, and the food was amazing.
I got a small plate with 2 types of chicken, tiny bit of lamb to try, orzo, green beans. Flavor was popping, food was warm and plenty 😋 it was all in one container so it didnt look very artsy but it tasted sooo good that I ate all of it and it was def 2 or 3 serving size for someone my size. 😆 and the bread that came with was amazing, smelled and tasted fresh. Outside was crispy ish yet soft and inside very fluffy. My only one issue was that green beans was very oily. But I still ate it all.
Overall- will def go back, and may bring my friends. Def will bring family. They have so many chicken, lamb, turkey varieties for those who dont want pork or beef all the time.
It was just me and a friend so we sat in their tiny table but I will say this is take out place. Not a lot of space to sit and eat. It gets busy too, but they are extremely quick with service.“

“Ive passed by this restaurant for years and never bothered to visit. After hearing it was the spot where the actual Greek community frequents, I decided it was finally time to give it a shot.

So first off, it's important to note that this a sit down. The exterior and my familiarity with places like Big Greek or Marathon made me assume this was carry-out, but no this is definitely a place you should dine in. The menu is small (green flag for sure) and I had to get the platter since I didn't see a wrap version which is always my go to.

Well... They clearly know whats best. The ingredients and quality are unmatched by even my favorite take out gyro spots. Also great and super attentive service. Will definitely return. Super impressed.“

“Picked up dinner last night. I'm gluten free and Nick, the manager, rang my order in and was so polite and courteous. He addressed every question I had about what I could eat. I was really impressed and can't wait to return.“

“good quality fresh food 🥒🍅“

“outstanding. Absolutely delicious. So fresh.Great value. Wonderful addition for Hagerstown. A ++++“

“Su atención con los clientes“

“In recent years there seems to be a proliferation of small-plate Mediterranean restaurants. But Yayla remains as one of the best, reasonably priced originals in northern Virginia. There is a pleasing range of mezzes, salads, entrees hot and cold, flat breads, spreads, etc . I had a Yayla mule, 3 spreads, lemony rice soup and superb shrimp. Friends chose a range of other dishes. I can guarantee whatever you choose, you won’t be disappointed. Everything is flavorful, fresh and beautifully presented. Wait staff and servers are friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and not obtrusive. Don’t miss the nice selection of creative cocktails, wine variety and desserts. Continued success and best wishes for this popular bistro!“

“This Greek restaurant in Potomac, MD is a hidden gem. The lobster spaghetti was rich and perfectly balanced, and the dessert—simple, elegant, unforgettable. The menu is carefully curated, and it shows. This is their second restaurant—the first has been around for over 30 years. They know what they’re doing. Small space, so definitely make a reservation—but bar seating is just as good (we sat there and loved it). Carlos the bartender and the whole staff were amazing. We were the only Black/brown folks there, and felt completely welcomed. Don’t miss this spot—real food, real hospitality, real experience.“

“Good food,great service.Love going there.“

“Popped in for lunch after reading the great reviews and was so glad we did. Hands down some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. Don’t let the location (small strip mall with tight parking) dissuade you! Definitely worth going out of your way. We’ll be back for sure!“

“The octopus, sea scallops and the dish with the kale and butter beans were amazing! Every visit is an adventure for me. I also love the decor and the service“

“very good authentic
i’ll come back when i try the grilled branzino but i had an old fashioned gyro and it was delicious … i was doing uber and the woman at the register accommodated me nicely ! they can work on inside ambiance but other than that loved it and will be back“

“The food here is absolutely amazing. 10/10 definitely recommended.“

“Delicious Greek food! Really good dips and toppings to add on bowls, best tzatziki and hummus I have had. The chicken is very tasty. Great variety of Greek desserts. Perfect location with parking and close to metro. Good food / good price. Nice and welcoming staff. 😀“

“The gentleman at the counter had wonderful customer service. We paid for our food even brought it to the table, which was very nice. It felt like fine dining, he gave us a bit of conversation and seem like such a pleasant gentlemen. I enjoyed the food. It was amazing. I eat every drop and the baklava ice cream with everything took a friend for the first time. My friend said he enjoyed it, and we will definitely be back again. I recommend this place highly if you love Greek food and gyros.“

“😁Great food and service“

“Highly recommend the McLean Family Special. They season the chicken amazingly and our it with fresh veggies and real mashed potatoes. The staff are very nice as well!“

“Kufta Kabab is tender with buttery rice and veggies; Chicken Shawarma Sandwich has great pita and goes great with the spicy sauce. I like healthy portions and nutritional variety for good value, and Astor hits the spot. The owners and staff are extremely gracious to create a welcoming atmosphere. They have a lovely patio to hangout. If you live in the neighborhood, it's a no brainier to make this your hangout spot.“

“Outstanding in dining experience. I then had Mazi prepare a platter of meatballs for a House Parry that was a major hit ! A new go to restaurant in DC“

“Best kept secret of DC. Best lamb kebab (and laffa!), best tabuleh, best kibbeh, best grape leaves, best lentil soup… Best!
May be gotta change the name, it’s a bit hard to understand what to expect .. but it is simply the best lunch each time I came… and indeed fresh, yummy & authentically Mediterranean.. thank you 🙏🏼“

“I e been coming to this restaurant ever since I was a teenager. They used to be located on the other sode of Falls Church more in the central part of that area, and me and my gorfriend used to go there for dinners. I would also order carry-out gyro platters on a regular basis. Ever since those days, gyros and spaghetti have been my go-to orders from this restaurant. This is a real authentic Greek restaurant and they never cut corners when it comes to the quality of the food. The gyro meat isn't processed meat either, and they always add an ample amount of fetta cheese and gyro sauce.“

“I really liked the variety, food quality and the generous portions. I love bowls and this place just became #1 for me in the area. I live next door and will definitely be coming back often. Attached the picture of the bowl, but there was also a coke and chips included.

I also appreciate Wonder’s mission and the fact they are helping solve DMV’s homelessness problems“

“Hidden gem of a shop, literally as you have to navigate through an office building to get there. The presumably owner was wonderful and very helpful, he also emphasized his use of extra virgin olive oil for health. I don’t think the Chicken Msakhen I got was on the online menu, but so so tasty.

More of a takeout shop than a date night vibe, but it does have free WiFi! Please consider giving them your business, it’s so worth it“

“Service was fantastic. Food was wonderful and atmosphere perfect.“

“It's a walk-in hole in the wall with limited outside seating. It's super convenient in DC where you are on the move. Good was good and the staff were very nice.

If you want a sit down full breakfast this is not for you.“

“Great food. Owner and family are the nicest people.“

“Amazing,
Ordered after I finished work and came home to my wife at 12am.

Ordered Delux Steak sub and Calzone plus frys.

I called. He told me 10 minutes, when I got there it was ready.

Around $30. Got a giant calzone along with not one but 2 pretty big subs(around $17). I am extremely satisfied with the food I got for my money especially that late at night.

Highly recommend, especially for college kids, night shift workers.

I will definitely be spending more money at this business in the future.“
