28 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.“

“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 !!!“

“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.“

“Not only is the food great, but the owner treated us like guests in his home rather than just customers. We had a larger group and showed up late for our reservation by mistake, and it was no issue at all. Yannis regaled us with stories from his life as a restaurant owner and offered us some life advice, too, haha. It's really nice that places like this exist even in random suburban corners of Virginia.

Also, the menu is large so there is something for everybody. The food came out fast and tasted great. Our group had the pork gyro, lamb gyro, vegetarian gyro, and souzoukakia. Everything was perfect.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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’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“

“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!“

“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 ✨️🧿🩵“

“My wife and I use this as our go-to place when we need quality food that is not junk and is a great value. The orzo is my personal favorite but honestly there hasn't been one dish I've tried that has been disappointing. I am genuinely confused by the people who give this place one or two stars. My wife loves the pork chops. They held up really well even after being delivered. I had the gyro and it was amazing. This place is consistent and if you're looking for a hidden gem in a sea of awful takeout, this is it.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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. 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!“

“😁Great food and service“

“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 🥵💰“
