Craving for some Authentic Greek food? With tasty Chicken Souvlaki at Elia and sumptuous Moussaka at Mythos, there are some delicious and eclectic Greek flavours to tease and tempt the palate. Here are some of our favourite Greek restaurants.
Mythos’s contemporary Greek cuisine is revered all over in Dubai. The produce used in the preparation of the dishes is local and very fresh. Hence the dishes come packed with flavour and the goodness of wholesome organic ingredients. The dishes to try are Moussaka, Greek salad and Lamb chops. The grilled Octopus marinated with white vinegar is a classic. Don’t forget to send your taste buds into a tizzy with Gemista, that is tomatoes and capsicum stuffed with rice, baked in the oven with fresh herbs and served with feta and roast potatoes.
Elia takes the cake for being one of the top most Greek restaurants in Dubai. With chef Yiannis Baxevanis in the kitchen, the food served is truly Michelin quality. Yiannis has bought the culture of Greece into Dubai in a very special and unique way. The food prepared is soulful and heart-warming and this is reflected in the fact that the restaurant has won several accolades. The truly divine dishes are the Raviola, Souvlaki, assortment of Greek salads and the Lamb Shank which is to die for. Try their Greek mezze platter which has 3 traditional dips and an assortment of pita bread.
The ambience takes you back to the distressed wooden flooring that is so typical of Greek architecture. The view of the sea is stunning yet sombre and combined with the ambience of the restaurant; it tells you something about the resplendence of the Aegean Sea. The food here is classic and very healthy and wholesome. The masterpieces are the beetroot salad, moussaka, octopus and the lamb.
Labby’s Dubai is a traditional Greek café and restaurant that serves Greek food and snacks including some truly fantastic vegetarian options. The chefs in the kitchen are all Greek, so expect to find some finger licking authentic food. Dishes to try are the spinach pie, moussaka and the lamb.
Often hailed as the businessman’s retreat, it is a familiar sight to see business meetings being conducted over a sumptuous lunch. At a meal for just AED 70, you can have a tummy filling lunch and then head back to work. The food is light and mildly flavoured and exhibits modern Greek flavours and cooking techniques.
Fans of Greek food can rejoice as you can savour some authentic food at a truly affordable rate at none other than Jimmy the Greek. Located on level two of Dubai mall, the restaurant charges a very nominal amount of AED 60 for two people. They have a wide variety of salad platters and a buffet on weekends too.
A small and cosy restaurant owned by a Greek family, the restaurant offers home style Greek food.
