Welcome to The Great Greek Restaurant!

Thinking about The Great Greek over nearly 4 decades, and looking forward to our future, we’d love to share some of our special memories of The Great Greek!

We look back on the day, 39 years ago, that we first opened to the public: Monday, June 18, 1984. We were instantly and warmly greeted with full reservation books, three seatings nightly, and lines around the corner. Our customers embraced our authentic Greek food, live Greek music, and our dancing servers, who line-danced with customers throughout the aisles and onto Ventura Blvd. And, if you were here to celebrate a birthday or anniversary, we sang to you in Greek! 

1984 was the year of the Los Angeles Olympics. Soon after opening we served delighted guests from across the nation and around the world, here at The Great Greek in Los Angeles.   

Thank you for welcoming us, dining with us, ordering food-to-go, celebrating your events with us, visiting us from around the world, and supporting us through the lockdown, which we survived, and came out stronger than ever.  The Great Greek staff, many of whom have been here for decades, consider you part of The Great Greek family and look forward to serving and celebrating with you for 39 more years and beyond! Opa!
