44 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 is a pizza shop mostly for pick up or delivery.

The food was delicious. The wrap i got was warm and delicious. The mango habanero wings had great flavor and were cooked well - maybe make the sauce a little less sticky. And the calzone was off the charts. We'll worth the price for all of it and very fresh.

Thank you!“

“Great food and excellent service. John was fantastic. 100% recommend“

“Everything about this place is amazing!“

“Enjoyed a very good dinner at the Parthenon last night. It was quite busy. For appetizers we had a lovely hummus platter with beautifully warmed pita bread a accompanied by freshly cut cucumber slices and tomatoes; warm Shrimp Saganaki that is served in a light fragrant tomato sauce with feta and a generous portion of grilled swordfish with lemon potatoes and mixed vegetables. We also relished the Greek white wine from Santorini-- it was great! Eduardo was our server; he was attentive and very helpful. Ask to sit with him when you go.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“First time visiting from out of town and this place was AMAZING!!!! Every dish was better then the next if that's even possible. Watermelon salad, hummus, cheese , Brussels sprouts, lamb, chicken skewers...the fried French toast dessert...OMG. I wish we had a Cava where we live. The service was impeccable and from the moment we walked in- the hostess was so sweet too. This place is excellent!!! A++++++++“

“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“

“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.“

“My partner and I came in for dinner and left thoroughly impressed. We ordered the Mex Amigo taco, Greek taco, steak quesadilla, and grilled misfitz, and every single dish delivered. Everything is made in house—down to the sour cream, salsa, and even the shredded cheese. As two people who are pretty health conscious and cook exclusively with olive oil at home, we really appreciated that Wild Tacoz does the same. It made the meal feel just as clean as it was delicious.

The flavor was incredible across the board—rich, fresh, and clearly made with love. Every bite tasted like it came from people who genuinely love what they’re doing. Honestly, a solid 100/10!!

On top of the amazing food, the service was outstanding. James, the owner, along with Teddy and Helena, were warm, kind, and made us feel completely welcome. Their hospitality alone make this place worth visiting.

We will absolutely be back, and we’d recommend this family-owned gem to anyone looking for a fresh, flavorful, and genuinely heartfelt dining experience.“

“The Hercules Burger is really good“

“Highly recommend this place! Amazing atmosphere, outstanding service, and very welcoming people. Everything was handled professionally and the experience was excellent from beginning to end. Definitely a place worth visiting again!

I go there almost every week. 😊👌🏽“

“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 ++++“

“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.“

“Su atención con los clientes“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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 love the Greek Chicken and the Greek soup is awesome! Very friendly staff with great service.The menu is massive, covering Greek specialties, Italian staples, pizza, burgers, and hot subs. The Greek food is where they really hit their stride—the gyro platter, chicken souvlaki, and homemade grape leaves are consistently fresh and packed with flavor. Their steak and cheese subs hit the mark, the pizza is solid, and the crab cakes are surprisingly good for a casual grill. Portions are huge across the board, so plan on taking food home or having the kids split a dish.“

“A lovely diner right off the main road. Food was fantastic, large portions and made very well. Service was great, quick and very friendly, our waitress came back to check on us multiple times. Everyone was very friendly and we will definitely return.“

“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“

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

“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. 😀“

“Pretty good for a greasy spoon if that's what you're looking for. Not overly priced compared to most DC cafes around here. Atmosphere is a little on the downside but quick solid breakfast fair price hits the spot if that's what you're looking for. I like argue before per agency stuff“

“😁Great food and service“

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

“I absolutely love this place. Everything is so fresh and delicious. It's me and my boyfriend's favorite date night spot. The super salad and spinach ravioli with alfredo sauce are to die for. The fact that this place doesn't have thousands of 5 star reviews means the locals are trying to keep this place a secret, but Im no gatekeeper! It's affordable because its a Mom and Pop restaurant, they do not compromise on quality!“

“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.“

“Came here at a random time after the zoo with kids and it has been a blast. I'm not sure if elementary school kids are their ideal demographic but they gave them free Shirley temples, off menu kids burgers and fries, and my kiddos are cheering for the soccer shown at the bar.

They have some interesting live music coming up, so I hope to come back (without kids) soon!“

“Ordered burgers, fries & pizza. Burger was raw, bun falling apart. Had to throw burger in trash. Pizza (original) was ok“
