Who would have expected fine dining meals from a small open kitchen (think pizza or sandwich shop style restaurant) with a few tables in a small strip shopping center in Great Falls, Virginia, but Thelo Greek Kuzina’s food was stellar. I could not decide what to get to take home for our family, so got way too much food for four people. Every meal, appetizer, and desert was delicious. we had the lamb shank meal, the New York Sirloin entree, Moussaka, Imam Baildi, lamb gyros, Greek salad, homemade potato chips (best ever), pita and hummus sampler, and more. Deserts were the lemon cake, apricot baklava, sour cherry baklava. Yeah we overdid it on our order, but we enjoyed a smorgasbord of delicious Greek food that made you think it was from a top 10 upscale downtown restaurant. Thank you Thelo Greek Kuzina for an unexpected true culinary experience.

It was the best damn gyro I've ever eaten. Service was attentive, the food was prepared promptly. Carry out or eat in. Very casual. The Greek owner is entertaining and a pleasure to speak with.

Some of the best greek food in the NoVA area, certainly a gem of Reston. Owner is a personable and wholesome Greek fellow who always treats you right. I hope more people visit this place because its often empty when I go.Parking: Half empty, can always find a space.

Absolutely! Here's a glowing review for Thelo Greek:"Thelo Greek exceeded all my expectations! I indulged in their succulent lamb gyro paired with a refreshing Greek salad, and I was pleasantly surprised by their flavorful spanakopita. Each bite was a delightful journey through authentic Greek cuisine. The quality of ingredients, combined with expert preparation, made for a truly memorable dining experience. Thelo Greek has definitely earned a top spot on my list of favorite restaurants. Highly recommended for anyone craving an unforgettable taste of Greece!"

Enjoyed testy gyros and baklava, while learning some history from John. Wonderful atmosphere, talking without judgement, the way only the Balkans do. Loaf of freshly baked bread is the best. Thank you John, until next time.

Found this charming slice of Greek heaven after visiting the nearby zoo and knew we were about to enjoy some seriously good food when we entered the front door! The aromas coming from the open kitchen were phenomenal! We ordered a variety of appetizers, entrees, wines and desserts....all were undeniably amazing! The friendliest staff I've encountered in years! Wish I lived closer BUT Thelo is worth me driving in from Manassas on a more frequent basis!!!! Thanks for a great addition to an already epic day!

We went in on a slow Sunday evening and had a wonderful experience with John, the owner. We were the only ones in the restaurant, so we made jovial conversation and he personally attended to us during our visit. We had just come back from Greece a few weeks prior and were really missing the food, and he didn’t let us down.The tzatziki and hummus were tasty and wholesome. We all got the gyros, made with pork belly and they were meaty, fatty and delicious. We ordered dessert to go and when John found out that we were celebrating a birthday, gave us a box of his walnut cookies to go as a gift. The apricot baklava was delicious, but don’t miss out on the almond cookies either.What really made the experience special was the people. John was a host, not just the owner. He shared stories from back home and we shared experiences from our recent trip, like old friends. That’s what it felt like, was that he was a friend. Please do yourself a favor and take your date or your family here for a special occasion, or just because it’s Wednesday. Either way, you’re not going to be disappointed.
