This place is an absolute gem! We came here today and everything was phenomenal. The gyro was perfect, the potatoes and salad were delicious, and the custard dessert was out of this world. The service here is outstanding. It feels like getting lunch or dinner from your own Greek Papou. They are incredibly generous and welcoming, which makes the whole experience so special. To the people complaining about the prices: anyone who's been in Alaska knows that sourcing and buying quality food here is expensive for both restaurants and customers. The prices here are VERY fair for the quality and portion sizes you get. Yes, the restaurant is obviously small and tucked away in a little aged strip mall, but that is part of its charm. If you want authentic, incredible Greek food made with love, come here. Tip: If seating is tight, just get it to-go! We will absolutely be back. read more

Some of the best travel experiences happen completely by accident, and Antonio's was exactly that for us. We had actually set out to visit a nearby Manila bakery we found on Yelp. As we were driving by, we noticed Antonio's and decided to stop in. From the outside--and even when we first walked in--the place was completely unassuming. To be candid, it looked a little worn around the edges. If you're someone who judges a restaurant by its appearance, you might keep driving. That would be a mistake. What followed was one of the culinary highlights of our entire trip to Alaska. We ordered a couple of items, but the owner insisted we try several additional dishes. As vegetarians, we're often limited when exploring new cuisines, but not here. Every plate that arrived was fresh, flavorful, and made with obvious care. The experience was a revelation. It made me realize that I've probably never had authentic Greek food before. The Greek dishes I've had from chain restaurants, food courts, and grocery store offerings don't even belong in the same conversation. The ingredients tasted fresher, the flavors were more vibrant, and every bite felt like it came from a family recipe rather than a corporate kitchen. What elevated the meal even further was the owner himself. He spent time talking with us, sharing how he ended up in Alaska and telling stories about his journey. It felt less like dining at a restaurant and more like being welcomed into someone's home. I've traveled extensively and eaten at restaurants across the country, and I can confidently say Anchorage is fortunate to have a place like this. Antonio's isn't just a restaurant--it's the kind of hidden gem that deserves national attention. Frankly, it belongs on a travel or food television show. If you're in Anchorage, do yourself a favor: ignore appearances, walk through the door, and trust the food. read more

Owner is friendly and welcoming. This place has the best baklava in town! I also like the convenient location. read more

Antonios Greek Bakery & Cafe - Baklava - Greek Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Ordered two gyros. 2 slices of meet in each one paper thin. Not worth 32$ for 2 gyro. Pita bread cold and stiff, side salad wilted and potatoes unflavored. Does not represent authentic Greek food. read more

Where do I begin? I ordered a gyro. The meat was gray and tasteless, the ztaziki sauce tasted like plain yogurt, and the lettuce in the Greek salad was limp. read more

Incredible food! No pictures because it got devoured before I even thought about it. We ordered this to go: two gyros (comes with Greek salad and roasted potatoes), dolmades (comes with tzatziki), and baklava. The owner was personable and even gave us an extra dessert for free! I'm not sure what it was called but it was some moist cinnamony nutmegy cookie shaped goodness. The gyros were fresh and he was not stingy with the tzatziki. The lettuce in the Greek salad looked a little old but very yummy regardless. What stood out to me most were definitely the dolmades and baklava. Best I've ever had of both. We were only there a couple minutes but from that I can say the ambiance was homey and welcoming. I will be visiting often. read more

I ordered the lamb on orzo for $29 plus the grub hub fee. The potatoes were on a bed of oil. The orzo did not taste like orzo but rather just warmed up and overcooked orzo with two other types of pasta. I only got two small pieces of lamb with the meal. The salad was also little to be desired since it was two small pieces of feta, two slices of cucumber, a bunch of lettuce with balsamic vinagraitte too drained for my taste and chunks of onions and some tomato. Not ordering again, I rather just take the time to make it at home. I'm giving the two stars because at least they tried. read more

This place is a hidden gem!! Just happened to stumble upon it on my way to the airport! The best Greek food I've ever had and the service was amazing and fast!! The gyro platter was delicious! The potatoes were perfect and the salad was delicious!! read more

Omg this was a really great meal. I understand that the restaurant had to make some changes after the Covid years, but the owner was extremely pleasant and the food was flavorful. I sure wish I lived closer to Anchorage. Four stars because they're just really wasn't much of a dining area during the time we were there. The owner preferred that we do the food to go and I wish I had known that before I got there. read more

Went here on a Thursday evening. I split the two-person special with a friend and we loved the small bites of all different foods. We could taste the classic spices and loved the combination of starches mixed with fresh feta. My other friend got the gyro and enjoyed it. To finish dinner we all got different desserts and shared. We tried the rice pudding, baklava, and Galaktoboureko (LOVED). What we loved the most was that Antonio was in the back cooking for us and there was only one worker/waitress to wait on us. It was quaint in all the sense of the word. It certainly wasn't the best Greek food I've ever had BUT it seemed like the charming, slightly greasy food that a person might have while visiting a family in Greece for a normal dinner meal get together. read more

I really liked the Gyro dinner. Really authentic so tasty! I even liked the salad. I ordered through the Yelp app very easy and quick preparation during rush hour. I will definitely order here again. read more

Tasty Greek food. Try the soups and bread! The sweets are good, too. The cookies taste fabulous.

Love the food! Hidden gem, worth the stop! The old man, probably the owner was taking tht orders and cooking and packaging the Togo orders. He gave my kiddos a dessert for free. read more

Antonios Greek Bakery & Cafe - two pieces of pie in a plastic container - Greek Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

My only complaint about Antonio's is that I didn't come here sooner! Wow! I went for dinner, but at an odd time in between lunch and dinner. It was just me and the chef. He put on some Greek music and began to sing and cook, it was awesome. My food was some of the best Greek I've ever had. I got the lamb, it came with salad and potatoes and dessert (greek custard). Portions were generous as well as delicious. Everything was fresh and made from scratch, and it showed. I will definitely be back! read more

Because of the location, Antonios Cafe can be easily over looked. I happened to stop by because I was craving Greek food. I was not disappointed! The food is phenomenal. Best dolmades I have ever had. After our lunch Antonio brought out dessert, which turns out came with the meal! He sent us on our way with cookies for Valentine's Day. This is a man that you can tell takes extreme pride in his restaurant. Anchorage is blessed to have this hidden gem. read more

The folks were friendly and the food superb. Especially recommend the dolmadas and the tzatziki. Really, really good.

Small, intimate - and the owner definitely has character. The food was met with mixed reviews at the table - and I expected that honestly from the style. I personally loved it. The spouse did not, at least until desert. She hates "pre-made" Gyro meat, and wants it cut from the roll as she says. Homemade Pita was a hit. I had some more traditional food and definitely rank it up there. Mine was not microwaved, as I suspect may have happened to the Gyro. While it won't be a date place, I know I'll be stopping back in for the reasonably priced and good food. And .. it is a Bakery. All the Baked goods are 100%. read more

I had a great experience at this little restaurant today. I am originally Greek and I always look for Greek food no matter where I go. So, as I arrived in Anchorage today, I decided to visit. The service was great and the owner speaks Greek. He is very personable and a pleasure to have a conversation with. The food was amazing and the owner made some great suggestions. The dessert was exceptional as well. I totally recommend this place. The food is definitely as close to traditional as you can find in North America. read more

My husband and I have dined out in Anchorage for over 30 years. Now that we have moved out of Anchorage I think back on how much I loved this place. Rarely do I find a cafe that absolutely delights me. Antonios is such a place. We ordered a Gyros with the Greek salad with potatoes ! DeliciousI hope you give this little restaurant a try. There are also desserts that are to die for and you can take home some cookies too. Support locally owned businesses. read more

I'm pretty sure I want to marry Antonio so I can become his fat, happy wife. I arrived at 11:00 this morning just as he was opening. Since it was early, he was running the whole show. He was my host, server, cook, entertainment and companion. I have to say, Antonio's Cafe EPITOMIZES what I think constitues a perfect dining experience. His approach is unabashedly european... where the focus lay on hospitality and quality, rather than huge portions of mediocre food and impersonal service. I felt as though I had been transported back to Europe to a lovely hole-in-the-wall mom n' pop place that I came to love when I lived abroad. I am absolutely in love. Antonio's only has 4 tables. He could fit more, but he doesn't. He takes pride in delivering really good, homestyle Greek food in an intimate setting. You can order take out, of course, but you'd be missing out on the experience of interacting with this charming man. As I ate my delicious meal of pastisio, greek salad, dolmades and potatoes, I learned more about him and his life that I know about some of my coworkers that I've worked with for years. If you're lucky, maybe you'll hear him singing in the kitchen (he used to be a professional singer.) Antonio's food isn't for gourmands. Although his food is really excellent, there's more going on here than just food. It's about the EXPERIENCE. And if he likes you and you take the time to interact with him, don't be surprised if he forces some freebies on you. He knows you'll be back because you won't forget how heartwarming your meal was. Food for the stomach and the soul. If you're not orginally from Anchorage and you're looking to make connections and have a great meal, eat at Antonio's; its the kind of place that makes you feel like you're HOME. read more

If you're craving authentic Greek food that tastes somewhere between homemade and restaurant style, then this is the place to go!

This is the best Greek food I have ever had! The moussaka, pastitsio, spanakopita, dolmades, potatoes, and their bread were all delicious! We didn't try the baklava, and that's a good thing because we didn't have any room left! read more

AMAZING FOOD! I am a vegetarian and it's hard to find even one good vegetarian option that isn't a salad at most restaurants. The vegetarian pita was delicious with a flavorful hummus and great tzatziki. And the pita... IT'S SO FLUFFY! (I could die) As others have said Antonio was the best, he was nice and even threw in a free galaktoboureko... And changed my life forever! I may not be able to say it but galaktoboureko is my new favorite. Period. End. Of. Statement. In summation, delicious, fast vegetarian friendly food! read more

I wanted to like this place. We tried it on the spur of the moment for lunch the day before thanksgiving. The owner is Greek (very Greek), and clearly knows what he's doing. The menu is quite limited in food items, but is very good in baked goods. The owner was willing to customize a chicken gyro for me, rather than the regular gyro meat. Pretty cool. But the Greek potatoes were barely warm and oily. The rest of the food was not bad, but uninspired. The desert, a custard-filled version of baklava (can't remember the Greek name) was great. I love little places like this, and love owner-run shops. This place is great for Greek deserts, but you should probably skip it for any other food. read more

Stopped by here today on a whim for a quick to go lunch, Yelp said it was closed, but the open sign was on. The place was empty, just one guy behind the counter (Antonio maybe?) I ordered the Gyro, which also came with a side of potatoes and a Greek salad. I also picked up a baklava (more on that later). The gyro was a solid ok, I heard beeping coming from the back while I was waiting for my food, which could very well have been the pita/gyro meat being microwaved. It was really saucy. The potatoes were served cold, but were tasty and well seasoned. The salad looked brown and old. The baklava was probably the best part, it was fresh and tasted great. I'd go back for the baklava for sure, the rest, not so much. read more

Food - excellent, service - excellent, ambiance - cozy. My kids and I love Antonios, everything about Antonios as a matter of fact we plan to get food this weekend. read more

My wife and I ordered the gyros for lunch. Not bad. But not great. The pita was home made. And thicker meat was typical Kronos brand the tatziki was not tatziki. But sour cream or cream fresh with green onions. ? Flavorless. The greek salad was good. And the star of the dish was the roast potatoes. Slightly tangy but still. Robust roast flavor. It's hard to give a good review when the main part of this meal. Was so blah. And 1/2 way thru your wife reminds you that last time you were there you said never again. So. Darn. Fool my twice. My bad. Order with care. Maybe the moosika would have been better. But that's definatly a after lunch nap. read more

Had the gyro, dolmades, and a dessert (I'm not going to even try to spell). Spent $31 for a palm sized gyro that looked like the frozen ones that you get at the store for a few a few bucks per sando, the dolmades were chewy. The salad, and the Greek potatoes and dessert were good, but definitely not worth the money for the disappointing gyro and dolmades read more

It's a small, quaint restaurant with a few tables and a counter for takeout. Not a very large menu but it has most of the traditional items as well as some others. I had the Greek Pizza which just sounded good to me at the time even though it's not necessarily something you would need to go to a Greek Restaurant for. My family ordered the lemon chicken and the lamb orzo. They enjoyed their meals but said it was a little dry. My pizza was amazing. The dough was nice and light and chewy on the crust. It was also cooked perfectly and not burned. The pizza had feta and onions under the cheese and topped with fresh tomatoes. At the end of the meal the waitress, 1 of the only 2 people working there, brought over a tray of baklava and a custard pastry for each of us and said they were compliments of the house - a very nice gesture I was extremely excited for because I love baklava and would have ordered it anyway. All in all I enjoyed my meal and would definitely go back for the pizza. The kind waitress and overall generosity of the place would keep me coming back if I was not only here for vacation. read more

Ohhhh yeah! This is what greek food tastes like! Came here on a whim on a day off in Anchorage. I had lemon chicken which was moist and succulent. Husband had orzo with lamb. Holy wow such good food!!! Spanokopita (sp?) Was awesome and the free dessert at the end had my husband proclaiming this was his new favorite desert. Thank you Antonio for making amazing food! read more

What a find! Tucked away in the L shaped strip mall behind City Diner off Minnesota Drive is a wonderful restaurant that provides a deeply satisfying culinary experience. We stopped by for lunch on Monday. The owner, Antonio, met and welcomed us. We started with the hummus and pita - my mouth still waters remembering it. Pita was warm and fresh and the hummus was divine. I had the gyro. It said it came with roasted potatoes and a salad and frankly, I was not expecting much from the two sides. Boy - was I wrong! The potatoes were delicately roasted and lightly seasoned so they were delicious. The salad was crisp and fresh and the dressing was such a compliment to the greens and the rest of the meal. And the gyro was done to perfection. My dining partner had the lahanodolmades - cabbage rolls stuffed with rice and ground beef. Usually we talk during lunch but after the first bite, he didn't utter a word until after I heard his fork scraping an empty plate. We each tried the galaktoboureko - a creamy custard between phyllo crusts. I'm not even going to try and describe this - get one and try it for yourself. Then write a review. It's that good!! read more

So after reading all the rave reviews I had to give it a try. I was not disappointed. I ordered the gyro which came with roasted potatoes and a mini greek salad, spanacopita and baklava. The order was here in less than 15 minutes, even being around the corner I didnt expect it that fast. The delivery driver was courteous and friendly. Just be aware that the minimum order for delivery is $20 because it doesnt say on the menu but delivery is free and fast. Everything was excellent! I will definitely order from them again when I have a hankering for some excellent Greek food. read more

He heated up our food some with a microwave. We left about 15 min and both my husband and I have a little uneasy feeling in our stomachs. The place was rather dirty in my opinion. The owner was sweet though. read more

Why is this place not packed all the time?! My wife and I loved everything. I wasn't disappointed by one item on my plate. I hate custard-- or at least I thought I did until I tried the dessert here. My only regret is that the portions were too big to finish in one sitting. We will definitely be back and will bring friends. read more

This place is a gem. A small restaurant, only four tables and a small menu, but all items are delicious and authentic. Several delicious Greek deserts to choose from, too. We all ordered different things and tried each others meal; again, delicious food. Meals come with delicious lightly-seasoned, roasted potatoes and a nice Greek salad. Its a small, family run place, ran by the husband and wife. We were the last table served the night we went as they closed early. They had served all of the food they had prepared for the night. (I asked the chef why he was closing for the night. He said that he didn't want to cook more and then refrigerate it. There you go.) We even got free dessert. read more

I came in and asked if they served gyros, the lady said yes. I then asked her if it was traditionally made from the spindal and cut off, not that philly cheese steak frozen kind that you warm up on the grill? She said its traditional, so I wait and when the food comes it comes with a good Greek salad, potatoes and the Gyro! I start with the salad then glance at the Gyro, I then unwrap it and it's that prefrozen meat! Enough said I don't want it and inform them and walk out! How can you not know what kind of food you serve and if a customer ask about something and your unsure, go ask!!! read more

My wife and I stopped for a midday Sunday dinner. We decided to get 3 appetizers and Baklava. They were out of Tyropita so we doubled up on Spanacopita. We also had the hummus appetizer. The portions were generous and the service was spectacular. Really spectacular! We really enjoyed all of the dishes, with the exception that the hummus itself was disappointing. While the pita was warm and excellent, hummus was by contrast refrigerator cold and basic without any complexity. By all means we will be back. The experience was outstanding. read more

At first glance this place resembles a simple older coffee shop.. Mis matched tables and plain walls... But the food, music, and charm of Antonio's comes through the moment you sit down. Traditional music and a old world serenade comes from the kitchen as the heavenly sent of succulent food from a far away land fills the room. His breads are top notch and all made from scratch. We ordered three main dishes and shared... These dishes could have been served in the finest Greek restaurants in the world. Thick pitas, crispy balanced simple pizza with insane flavor..... And free Greek custard bathing in sweet honey for desert? One of the best hidden jems in Alaska read more
