Greek Restaurants in Las Vegas

Las Vegas has a few solid Greek spots that locals swear by, so you don’t have to settle for souvlaki from a random chain. Head over to the southwest part of town, like around Chinatown or Summerlin, and you’ll find places where the tzatziki is house-made and the grilled octopus is actually tender,not rubbery.

One place I keep going back to is Big Greek Cafe on Rainbow Blvd. It’s down-to-earth and serves huge portions, especially their lamb chops and pita bread that still crackles fresh out of the oven. If you’re craving something lighter, try Garden Grill in Henderson. Their Greek salad is crisp and loaded with kalamata olives and feta that tastes homemade.

Pro tip: If you visit in spring or fall, some spots like Estiatorio Milos in The Venetian pop up with more Mediterranean specials that aren’t on the regular menu. It’s a bit pricier but their seafood is worth it. Oh, and don’t skip the loukoumades if you see them,they’re little honey-drizzled doughnuts that will quickly become your Vegas obsession.
