29 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.“

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

“Favorite Greek / Mediterranean restaurant in DC area. So many healthy, tasty options. Could eat their Greek salad everyday— the dressing is so good they serve it with a spoon. Salivating as I write this. The restaurant is great for lunch as well, not just for dinner! Top notch wait staff too, always friendly and hospitable.“

“Great little Greek restaurant tucked away in a mini strip mall.
Food was great and the owner was such a nice guy. Very attentive and made sure we enjoyed our dining experience there. I highly recommend this restaurant for authentic Greek food.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming to this location pretty much every weekend for the last 3 years and realized I’ve never actually left a review! They have another location that is bigger than this one, but honestly, this one is the better spot for food, service, and the overall vibe. I actually live closer to the Falls Church location but still make the drive here because the staff are always super friendly and the experience is consistently good. On Fridays and Saturday, it can get a little busy a hectic but the wait usually isn’t too bad, maybe around like 10–15 minutes. My order has always come out right and the food tastes fresh and delicious every time I’ve been here.

The place itself is clean, condiments are always stocked, and there’s a really nice mural on the wall that gives it a cozy feel. Nice music playing most of the time I come and seating is a little tight but it’s comfortable. Every time I come in,I’m greeted right away and the staff have been the same since I first started coming so they know what they’re doing. If there ever is an issue, they’re quick to fix it. If you have any allergies or food restrictions, they are pretty accommodating to requests so that is something to consider.
Overall, this has been one of my go-to spots for Greek food for years! Consistently good food, good prices, and really great service.“

“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!“

“One of the best meals I have had in Tyson’s Corner! Way above average!“

“good quality fresh food 🥒🍅“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“😁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!“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Awesome Place and Environment!! Great Staff, Service and Really Good Food 🔥 Highly Recommend 🥵💰“
