44 Best Greek Restaurants near Chevy Chase

“We had a reservation for 630 on New Year's and when we got there the sign on the door said they closed at 4. Disappointing but our group went to Alfio's and had a great time.
01/03/26 *UPDATE*
The owner explained the mix-up to our satisfaction and offered a discount so we all returned tonight and enjoyed our meals. Really liked the calamari! Thank you.“

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

“Great place with superb food , friendly staff, and great service. Highly recommended!👍👍👍👍👍“

“Food was excellent as was the service. Noise level a little high since there was two large parties and very loud. Made it hard to have a conversation at at two person table. Need to put in some sound abatement panels versus the hard wood current there.“

“I ordered catering from Big Greek Cafe for my son’s baptism. The food was amazing, and my family and friends could not stop complimenting the spread. Petros and his staff were such a pleasure to work with. Fresh food and quality customer service!“

“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.“

“We came by to hike at Rock Creek without doing any research on where to eat after. That was a mistake, as we were hungry and needed good options fast. It was either this Greek place or the Thai place across the road. We eat Thai all the time, so the unanimous decision was this Greek!

The waiter and all the staff were very friendly. The place and decoration themselves are a little odd. However, it was clean. The highlight is the taste of the food. All the dishes we ordered were spot on. I cannot remember their names, but there was nothing bad I could recall. If I'm ever in the area, I'd come again.“

“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 !!!“

“Went to Cava yesterday with my husband. We had a 6pm reservation and arrived around 5:45. Most of the tables were empty, except the bar, which seemed packed for their happy hour specials (which looked fantastic by the way). Our server was great. Every tapas we tried was delicious. The drinks we had, a Lemon Drop Martini and an Old Fashioned, were both fantastic as well. It had been over 10 years since our last dinner here and we were very impressed. We will definitely be back soon!“

“My family loves this place. The food is great, and the service has always been excellent. With my aunt having difficulty getting around, it’s nice to have a place that’s mainly flat so she doesn’t have to do stairs. They’re always accommodating, and it’s a warm and welcoming atmosphere. So grateful to have this place in the area!“

“We had an amazing dining experience during dinner on a Monday. The whole lavraki was perfectly cooked, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully seasoned. The chicken kabob was tender and juicy, with just the right balance of spices, and the Athenian chicken was absolutely delicious, full of rich, savory flavor. The service was excellent, very attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly taken care of. Great food, great quality, and outstanding service. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“The Hercules Burger is really good“

“Food is amazing ! I just got back from Athens and this is exactly as it is back there! So good !!!“

“good quality fresh food 🥒🍅“

“Su atención con los clientes“

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

“NIce Greek fast food. The Gyro salad is big and delicious accompanied by a warm pita. Usually, there is enough for a small salad to take home. The tasty falafel leaves you smiling. Lots of dessert options, too.

Usually plenty of seating in the large dining room and your order comes out quickly with the friendly service.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“We did take out and couldn’t have been more surprised at how great the food it. We each had three good sized tacos, had plenty of meat and other yummy fillings, adequately messy so you know you just had an excellent taco. This will definitely need to be a repeat in our eating out list.“

“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 ✨️🧿🩵“

“Absolutely amazing food, atmosphere, and service! My new favorite restaurant in DC. Food is tasty and authentic. Staff is friendly, responsive, and timely. And the restaurant is clean, nicely decorated, and spacious with plenty of seating inside and out. The Adana Lebab, Turkish tea, and Backlava are must-tries. A+++“

“I guess this is a pretty authentic Greek fast food experience. I had one of the bowls and it was very fresh and filling. Best falafel I've ever had in my life. The weird thing was that it wasn't on the menu, but the guy at the counter asked me if I wanted one. It was sooooo good and fresh.“

“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 good staff. Will come Again.“

“The best Greek food I have had in a VERY long time and I am married to a Greek! We had the Gyro and chicken souvlaki sandwiches with a side Athena Greek salad and Greek potatoes. OMG!!! Those potatoes were so delicious! They know how to cook authentic food and they aren’t chintzy with the meat in their sandwiches. The only downside is the appearance inside as it is in need of a little sprucing up and some music would be nice but don’t let that deter you of trying the food. It’s so worth it!“

“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.“

“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. 😀“

“😁Great food and service“

“I came to Astor after a long day of work to eat and decompress, and I was greeted with so much hospitality and kindness. I was gifted lentil soup along with a complimentary pastry to eat with my espresso. This experience was one of my favorites. It was such a blessing to experience the kindness of others in such an unexpected way. The falafel pita was so fresh and delicious, the fries were just right. The espresso had such a smooth flavor as well. I’m very impressed and will definitely return in the near future.“

“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 🙏🏼“

“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!“

“Anthony's Restaurant is such a lovely spot! The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, with a comforting yet refined touch. The atmosphere feels cozy and stylish, and the staff are friendly and attentive. Definitely a place I’d return to for a casual, chic meal.“

“This is the kind of place that you go to as a single person trying to get a quality meal without breaking the bank- you then take take someone there for a brunch date- further down the line you make it a regular place for you two. Flash forward you now have a family and introduce the kids to and they also love it. My point is this is the kind of place you will always go to and at every point in your life it will be there for you. I went with my girlfriend and now she's my wife and we still love it. When my Grandmother had severe dementia and didnt enjoy much she still loved going here and the staff and atmosphere gave her the feeling of being somewhere familiar and welcoming. New places opening up wont be like this which is why its so important to keep supporting City Diner- lets not make this a place that we only appreciate once its gone- its a place beyond the food- its a true family restaurant that has been there through multiple generations of my family.“

“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“

“Greatest food place in Maryland with the best vibes!! George & Maria, you are the greatest! Keep up the good work!“

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

“Super lowkey breakfast cafe. It's really small with mainly outdoor seating but the food is tasty, quickly made, and high value. very affordable. somewhat on the greasier side but I loved it. they have a large selection from breakfast, sandwiches, salads, etc.“

“The owner is very nice he’s a local. Yes pictures of old Arlington up. The food is very good I got a steak and cheese sandwich. Very good.“

“Fantastic customer service - I worked with Edvin on a large delivery order, making multiple changes to the order and time, and then had to change the day entirely due to a rain out. He was SO patient and helpful! I will absolutely work with them again, especially for a large group order. Thank you!!“
