9 Best Greek Restaurants in Knoxville

“Just back from a wonderful dinner at Kefi downtown. We started with Saganaki,
pan seared kasseri, fig jam, lemon, brandy flambé. The presentation was fun and the cheese was delicious. Hubby and I both had to have the Kokkinisto, beef short ribs slowly braised in st. george wine sauce, feta polenta, roasted tomato, heirloom carrots, spring peas. This entree was simply mouthwatering! The short ribs melted in my mouth! Our server Hannah was top notch! She asked if she should put our leftovers in one box. I said, “hell no! I have more than him and I’m not sharing!” She returned with boxes labeled “him and her”. Hubby ordered the Butterscotch Pecan Bread Pudding, sweet cream custard, butterscotch, roasted pecans, vanilla bean ice-cream flambéed tableside with butter-bourbon sauce. Again, awesome presentation with fire and outstanding flavor! I ordered Sokolatina, flourless chocolate torte, chocolate ganache, peanut butter mousse, chocolate tuile. It had to be dietetic since it was flourless…right? It was so rich and delicious, I almost had to take some home! Almost…

I would highly recommend this restaurant! All this and the check came to $115 before tip. I thought that was incredibly reasonable for the quality and quantity of food, fun atmosphere and fantastic service!“

“Cava has a great variety of items to select from. The restaurant is clean and the staff is very friendly. You can build your own bowl with fresh ingredients. However if you know what authentic falafel tastes like skip their falafel.“

“Super great place to eat! The food was amazing. I had the chicken marsala. Absolutely wonderful! The service was great. The staff was very attentive to our drinks and other needs concerning our meal. We ate outside on the patio while we listened to the luve music.“

“Came here to eat after Firehouse Subs closed 12 minutes early. I walked in to Yassin's 5 mins before close and said, "are y'all still taking orders, if not I understand". She politely said, "of course" and took my order. We ate outside and they even gave me extra sauce after they closed, when I saw a worker going back inside and asked him if I could trouble him for some. AMAZING service, thanks so much! Life long customer before and will continue to be!“

“My friend and I went there today.A gentleman on his break eas very kind answering my 2 questions. We ended up getting the cheeseburgers deluxe with added fried onions. They were really good. My son and his wife takes me there sometimes to get pizza and ounion rings. They are the best. You will not be disappointed at this place ever.“

“Everything we ate was absolutely delicious! Yassin’s is a special treat restaurant for my son and me.“

“We discovered this spot for breakfast and it feels like we hit the jackpot every single time. The food is just delicious and everyone there is super friendly. I am confident if you give this place a try that you too will find your permanent breakfast spot. Enjoy!!“

“so glad we stumbled across it on our trip. I only wish they had a location in S. Florida.“

“We had the falafel gyros with a side of red potatoes. We eat plant based and that can mean limited choice and a lot of repeats but this was fresh and different. We will definitely stop in when in Knoxville. Also the staff are friendly and polite and the restaurant was spotless.

Vegetarian options: Two kinds of hummus, veggies, roasted red potatoes, cucumber and tomato salad,falafel,fruit and lots of salads.“
