30 Best Greek Restaurants near Potomac

“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.“

They are a treasure to the community and we’re thrilled to have them so close to home.“

“We noticed and stopped at Thelo spur of the moment. The proprietor came forward and we shared our trip to Santorini. My Pork Gyro was literally the best I've ever had. Marvously moist, beautiful flavor, caramelized bits, fresh pita, wonderful!
We shall return!“

“Great atmoshere, high-end stylish dining room, comfortable seating. The salmon dish was delicious and a large portion. The spinach rice side dish was so delicious! The Ravini Politiko, coconut cake was the best I ever ate! The Thalissina, seafood pasta had plenty of seafood in it and delicious. Even the cappaccino was delicious, very smooth, no bitterness and taste great with dessert! The server, Baris, was attentive, friendly and did a great job taking care of us. Great place to eat, homemade dishes and desserts! Highly recommend it. I will be back!“

The staff are friendly and attentive, making it a lovely place to enjoy a casual, chic meal. Definitely a place I’d return to.“

“The food is amazing and the staff is so friendly.“

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

“Best place in NOVA for a gyro. Maybe it's nostalgia glasses but I feel like it used to be better, in any case still the best option. I remember plaka being involved with the community and it's been a while since I've been back but this is still a Vienna staple. Recommended lunch spot if you're in the area.“

“We had the big combo dinner for 2-3 people for $70. The food was very good. Wait time was OK. Service was pretty good. As the place filled up on a Friday night, it got a little loud. We had no idea where this location was so followed GPS. Turns out it's right next to a grocery store and you can park in the grocery store' parking lot, so that was nice. Only complaint is that the lights are on low, so it's quite difficult to read the menu without light from your phone. The staff said the lights are low to facilitate a "fine dining" experience, but that's not really what this restaurant is anyway.“

“good quality fresh food 🥒🍅“

“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 !!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Ordered Mexican chicken tacos; the food came promptly, the food tasted excellent! Shelly the server was the nicest, she spoke in a very polite manner & at the end of my meal, she asked how I liked it - my response was the food tastes excellent! The cook in the back with the apron and hair net had the lousiest of attitudes, seemed like a grouch - if you’re reading this, lighten up, life is to too short to be disgusted with everything! Thanks Shelley! •ValT“

“Astor, we are so glad that you have reopened! We have missed you greatly and wish you nothing but the utmost success!!

Though Arlington offers an abundance of dining options, this place stands apart, and I can confidently say that you cannot go wrong here. We have tried the lamb shank with rice, chicken shawarma, chicken brochette, falafel pita with fires and the hummus. Everything is fresh and delicious. Try it for yourself, and you will quickly understand why the reviews are so glowing. Astor, you have earned every bit of praise and more!!“

“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“

“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!!“

“Take out order......the "Heavenly Pizza" and Minestrone Soup........Both EXCELLENT! Pizza was hot and delicious and Soup was piping hot and delicious as well! Have to have hot food when you do take out! People at restaurant friendly and everything was ready exactly when they said! I will be back! Thank you!“
