The Best Greek in Atlanta

Cafe Agora

★★★★☆ 4.2 (867) • $$

"This spot has free parking in the city so it should definitely be given some credit for that. It's in a really good area in Buckhead. It has a lot of area and places to go if you want to walk around after dinner. But the spot itself is very nice and well kept but it's still looks kind of rural and rustic in a Mediterranean sense. It's a really good aesthetic. Not over the top and not too much. That been doing outdoor seating so depend on the weather you could do both. And there's plenty of patio so there's more than two or three tables outside. But the indoor is very nice and aesthetically pleasing so if you wanted to stay in the air conditioner this would be a good spot as well. I got seated right away, and I got water right away, even though it took a minute for the server to get to me. But the service here was really nice, I don't have any issues overall. I got suggestions on what I could try. Everything was good though. Now I'm very biased because where I'm originally from they have a heavy population of people who are of Mediterranean descent so I am very spoiled lol. But I try to go into it with an open mind! Sigara (beef) rolls were pretty good. There is a lot of dill flavor in them so if you don't like dill then they may not be for you but I enjoyed them. They were brought to me still hot and the sauce added a little extra cool taste. Just think of them as egg rolls. My only gripe with them was they came out a little bit burnt so they may have said enough fire a little too long but they still at the same flavor though.Chicken gyro was good. It comes with a salad but I got a substitute of fries instead. The gyro was very big, even to be a little messy (which I dont mind). It was stuffed to the brim! The fries were very well seasoned also.Adana kebab plate was good, it was hearty and filling. Presentation was solid, it came with rice and salad, it was a good choice."

Kyma

★★★★☆ 3.9 (699) • $$$

"While I think Kyma is a good restaurant, I'm not as thrilled as I was before. Rather than order the "Aegean" prix fixe as we always have, if we return, we're better off going a la carte.Kyma's appetizers are wonderful. The prix fixe used to include four off the menu. Now it's down to two, and the portion for the three of us was skimpy -- likely the same as they'd serve two people. Aside from quantity, the lamb pie, pork ribs and calamari (which we ordered separately) are winners. To make up for the missing appetizers, they've added a Greek salad which was overloaded with tomatoes. (My preference would be to raise prices rather than impose cost-cutting measures.)To our surprise, the fish portion of our meal was huge. I posted a photo of the char (salmon) we got.... but there was another piece that I didn't photograph. Plenty for five people. (Couldn't they have done that with the appetizers?!)Dessert -- not included on the prix fixe -- was okay. The loukoumades (Greek donuts) not nearly as good as what we get in Astoria. Service is a little too quick, like they want to feed you and get you out. So I don't know -- there's good, there's bad. If you live locally, see what you think."

Yeero Village

★★★★☆ 4.3 (561) • $$

"We had picked up takeout through the drive-through one time, but this was our first time eating inside the restaurant. They do not offer table service, but you can order at the counter and they'll bring the food to your table . There are also multiple people checking on you throughout the meal.The food was clearly the highlight of our experience. Everything tasted fresh, hot, and very flavorful. I enjoyed a bowl of the Greek lemon soup, and I would definitely go back for more. We tried the beef Souvlaki Sticks, and the steak was super tender and very flavorful.We also tried a few of the appetizers, including the Greek wings, and the Saganaki. When they bring it to your table, they use brandy to literally light it on fire, so it's smoking hot when it's served. This is definitely a favorite of mine.Being that we live not too far from this restaurant, we would definitely consider returning and highly recommend trying Yeero Village in Roswell. Cheers"

"Always a great visit. The food is fantastic. This is one of those places you can bring a first-timer and they'll probably come back on their own within the week."

Agora Midtown

★★★★☆ 4.3 (392) • $$

"This was my favorite restaurant while visiting Atlanta. My friend lives nearby and suggested it, so we walked (braved the cold and wind) 10 minutes to the restaurant.We didn't have reservations, and there was no wait. Apparently, the restaurant was closed for remodeling and recently opened. You can dine downstairs near the bar, but most of the seating was upstairs. The stairway tiles in between were such a beautiful print reminiscent of Greek or Turkish design. There's intimate 2- person seating and larger seating for groups of 4 or more. The teal velvet seating added to the charm. The place was dimly lit and cozy. Mary Lyle was our waitress. She was amazing and attentive. My friend and I ordered cocktails and various appetizers to try. Excellent price points from $7-9 with large portions, not to mention, delicious.I had the Gardenia cocktail with gin and cucumber that was refreshing. My friend ordered the Basilisk. I tried it, and it's green apple forward and also good.The appetizers we chose were hummus, babaganoush, shakshuka, and spanakopita. Unfortunately, they ran out of the babaganoush past 8 pm. Mary Lyle brought us a complimentary appetizer - lentil kofte. It was served on a bed of romaine. Hummus: Large portion. I loved the fried chickpeas on top. It's served with a full basket of pita. Spanakopita: 4 pieces and comes with a side salad with vinaigrette dressing. The spinach and feta was baked to perfection.Shakshuka: I absolutely loved this variation of shakshuka because it was eggplant based. It's typically tomato and egg. There was no egg, but it did have green peppers in a homemade tomato sauce. The eggplant and peppers were tender and paired nicely with the pita bread. Since the eggplant was cooked right, I'm sure the babaganoush was just as great.I had eaten a large, Southern dish for lunch, so I was getting full. My friend ordered the Turkish moussaka that came with eggplant and ground beef and was served with rice. I had some of it, and it is a filling entree. Again, it was a large portion.At the end of our meal, Mary Lyle surprised us with a free dessert - rice pudding. We killed it! There's a hint of cinnamon. It was creamy. I could taste the whipping cream or milk they used.When I go back to Atlanta, I'm coming here for my Mediterranean fix. I just hope there's babaganoush next time! *fingers crossed*"

Athens Greek Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (281)

"--Location/Parking--Plenty of parking in the strip mall.--Ambience--A cross between a pizza restaurant with Greek decoration adorning the walls and space throughout the restaurant. --Service/Staff--Staff was helpful in recommendations and explaining the menu. Since I am not familiar with Greek food this was helpful in my order--Food/Products--I recommend the lamb as your meat choice. The taste was perfect. If you are getting any platter I recommend the lamb and my 2nd choice of chicken. The fries. I recommend to no or very little salt is how I like it.--Capacity--Plenty of seating to hold 30 plus parties of 4. --Overall--Great Yelp event if you love pizza and mingling with other Yelpers. Thank you Alexa for finding this hidden gem."

Yalla

★★★★☆ 3.9 (320)

"Really good Mediterranean food. I ordered the chicken shawarma laffa (a wrap). It was HUGE! So tasty though! I also ordered a falafel plate and they were delicious. My husband got the lamb. He said it was good but he felt like it was a small portion. We came on a Saturday around 4pm and it wasn't too crowded. The guy working there was soooo nice! So 5 stars for him! Parking was hectic but there's a structure you can park at that's pretty pricy though"

Kafenio Avondale

★★★★☆ 4.4 (205) • $$

"I've been here several times, primarily for takeout, although I did eat outside once for a late Saturday brunch.Sadly I don't have any pics since it's usually takeout. I have always had pleasant service every time I've been here and I love the food. I usually order the gyro platter because I like that it comes with a side salad and I prefer to have the Greek potatoes instead of the rice pilaf. Whenever I order the platter, it's usually enough for two meals.I have also had the gyro sandwich which is also very good. The platter goes longer, so I prefer to order it.The baklava is fresh and tasty.And they have very strong coffee if you're there for brunch.One day I'm going to order the baklava cheesecake. It looks so good in the display case, but I haven't tried it yet."

Athens Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.7 (238) • $$

"My @diningoutatl Passbook is my go to method of trying New restaurants in the city and surrounding areas.Last night I tried @athenspizza for the first time and I can definitely see why it's a neighborhood favorite.@athenspizza clearly has a regular crowd. Each evening offers a different special. Monday was "Baked Spaghetti" ; which was ordered. I also wanted to try the Mediterranean Pizza and ordered a small 6in.The pizza was absolutely delicious and the crust was divine! The spaghetti contained mushrooms which I enjoyed but, if you don't like them you'll need to request for them to be omitted. Great food and friendly service! I'll definitely be back!"

Santorini Greek Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.6 (109) • $$

"What a fantastic surprise!! I really didn't expect too much, but was completely WOWED by the flavors and unfortunately, also the prices. A can of sprite was 2.80The grilled Octapus 22.00And the Gyro with fries 17.00Now let me be clear... the grilled Octopus just may have been the best cooked octopus I have ever had. It was tender, not rubbery, and the sauce had a delightful zing to it that made every bite sing with flavor! It also was a good sized portion... I probably could have just had it for my lunch honestly. (See pic) I was sold on the establishment immediately after a single bite!My server was sweet... a very nice young lady who was attentive but didn't hover... she was the perfect server. The venue was clean, fresh, and cute in the tradition Greek colors and style. (Tip: get rid of the dead plants and go get some pony tail palms or something easy to maintain)Then out came my gyro... with fries. The fries were outstanding... crispy outside and soft inside with just a fine seasoning expertly applied. The crunch on the outside was a delight... I'm not sure how they do it but don't stop. Easily some of the best steak fries I have ever had!The gyro itself was a pretty good size... loaded with meat, thinly sliced onions, tomato's and Tzatziki all folded into a fluffy fresh pita. My first bite was a symphony of taste! Followed by the third and then the 6th and even the last bite... now THIS was a gyro! All you other posers out there trying to make gyros and selling them as authentic Greek food... take notice... come eat here and see how it is truly supposed to be done!My total with tip was right at 50.00 for just me... for lunch. While this is high for a lunch I did have the grilled octopus... and honestly I felt like I got $100 worth of out of this world flavors! I might not come here often, but with my first taste being this special... I saw a lot of other things on the menu that I want to try! In the immortal words of the Terminator, "I'll be back!""

Ali Baba

★★★★☆ 4 (141)

"I was in Atlanta for a couple days, staying near Little Five Points. Friday night I took a trip to the Mediterranean from Ali Baba. I picked up a large, delicious bowl of perfectly spiced and marinated lamb, fresh tomatoes, lettuce, and feta in yellow rice from the restaurant. Huge pools of Babaganush and hummus were on the side to drop the lamb in. Combined, this was such a special, local dinner treat! And definitely large enough portions of deliciousness for at least two people! If you're local to Atlanta, this place should be on your order list on at least a monthly basis."

Grecian Gyro

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (180) • $

"I fell in love with Grecian Gyro at the College Park location. The same tradition of tastiness carries over to this Tucker location. I had a souvlaki gyro and it just made my night. I can't remember what my wife had, but it was gone before mine was. Another friend had the falafel and paid it some compliments. (And this is a woman who knows her Greek, be assured.) Service was quick, staff made some good recommendations, and the place was relatively quiet. I tried the ice cream thing they serve here. IMO, don't waste your time with this. There's better ice cream to be had not too far away. But for the Greek goodness? I can't wait to go again. Holler if you're coming with."

Taste of Greece

★★★★☆ 4.2 (89)

"Had dinner here before Hamilton last night and it was quick, delicious, and reasonably priced. We ordered a veggie gyro which had tons of veggies like zucchini and squash. It did not come with a side.Also ordered a gyro plate - gyro, pita slices, tzatziki, green beans and salad of lettuce and tomatoes. 2 huge Greek potato wedges were also on the plate.Everything was delicious, we were running late due to traffic but food came quickly and it is a stone's throw from Fox theater so very convenient.Gyro"

The Greek Pizzeria & Gyros

★★★★☆ 4.3 (79)

"Extremely nice staff. I came in today and had the best restaurant greeting ever. Made me feel all warm and welcome on the inside. They enjoyed walking me through the menu and made recommendations. I noticed that the art here is pretty cool and they have some throwback arcades. The inside is very spacious.I ordered two pizzas. I wanted to try the John's special and the White Pizza but you are unable to put both on the same pizza. The issue is that they use two different base sauces. Both pizzas are amazing. The artichokes in the White Pizza taste great. John's special is loaded with toppings. Everything on both pizzas taste extremely fresh.The brownies are amazing. Full of chocolate chips and flavor.This venue is on the end of a strip mall. There is plenty of parking."

Maximos Gyro & Kabob

★★★★☆ 4 (91) • $

"This is another restaurant that we had skipped for a long time. not sure why, probably just location out of the way for usNow that we have gone a few time recently , have found it to be consistently good on a good variety of dishesTonight had KABOB SUPREME : A combination of lamb, chicken, kubideh, cornish hen kabobs , large greek salad, 2 servings of rice, 2 pita bread. EXCELLENT, especially the lamb - very juicy and flavorful; and more than enough for the TWO of useIn previous visits had GYRO PLATE; and MOUSSAKAPreviously daughter had the cornish hen too ; and son of course had chicken parm. All very good, and always needed to take part home In same shopping center as Wal-Mart on Winters chapel , hidden behind some other buildings. parking easy . Worth the visit even if not close by."

Grecian Gyro

★★★★☆ 3.7 (64)

"Food was fantastic! Delicious fresh Grecian salad w/chicken. There are other choices of meat. First time at this location since they moved from the corner of 78 and 124. This used to be the old Zaxbys locationI called the order in since I'm on lunch break. Whoever answered the phone was very nice and explained they're at this location to prevent any confusion. I was advised no less than 10 min the order should be ready I arrived maybe 15 min after the call. The order was ready waiting for pick up. Total $12.75 .. 4 pieces of Pita bread is served with all salads Dining area is open concept whereas the Zaxbys had tables and booths. Casual setting (ambiance) . From what I understand they're closed on Sunday's It's about $6 cheaper than Mr Gyro and it's just as delicious. Salads are smaller and less meat. You may want to ask if there are larger salads. If you're on 78 looking for a good Greek salad or Greek food, stop by. I will be back!"
