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.“

“Dinner at Thelo is an experience of terrific food and a warm welcome from the owner and host Yannis. We got the spreads sampler and shared among four of us and it was delicious. The whipped beats were our favorite, so good we made an extra order to go and will have it over the weekend.

After the appetizer we were all happy with our orders. The lamb shank was the very best, and the salmon, moussaka, and lamb gyro also very nice. A terrific baclava topped off the experience. Strongly recommend you go, enjoy the experience, don’t rush yourself and have a nice time.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 !!!“

“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.“

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

“The best Greek restaurant in the DMV“

“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 ✨️🧿🩵“

“good quality fresh food 🥒🍅“

“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.“

“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.“

“I am mad I did not try this earlier. I will be back. I got the Greek feast.
Pork and chicken skewers moist and tender. Gyro was amazing. The fries, I love what you did with the crunch on the outside. Rice is salted nicely. Small grain though... I mean that is nitpicking. I will be back 100%
It took like 20 minutes to prepare, so call in if you are in a rush. The taste and quality is worth it.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“😁Great food and service“

“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. Owner and family are the nicest people.“

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

“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.“

“For $20, you get a lot of food! I ordered the meatball platter, which comes with two sides. And they pile the sides high! Small but charming little restaurant. It's like a little gem in a neighborhood type of vibe. Isabella was my server and she was great!“

“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 🥵💰“
