Great lunch special... sizable portions for 2 people and great patio. Eric, or server, was the best!

Everyone was pleased with their food, great service. Restaurant was very clean and comfortable.

It has been nearly 6 years since my last time here. Jen was curious about Greek food and I mentioned this place as one of the best places I've experienced. Without a reservation, we decided to have an early dinner before the rush. From what I can tell, the place has expanded and is the interior is quite pleasant. While the staff has grown as well, they do carry the quality service as the close family touch that I remembered. Jen ordered the Wild Pacific Cod, while I stuck with my old favorite, the Fitness Special. We also had an order of dolma for a starter. I sampled Jen's cod and it was great. Lightly crusted with wonderful flavor. As for my chicken skewers, they were quite moist and beautifully seasoned. As for the dolma, it was perfect. Warm and tart, and not sour as I have found them elsewhere. We passed on dessert, but the offerings are quite tempting. Look forward to trying one next time. The staff said that reservations are now needed at night, which I'm happy to hear that the place is doing well. While the rest of this shopping center is becoming vacant, it's nice to hear that they're thriving. read more

Exceptional service by Eric. Very attentive, affable, and his happy-go-lucky persona made our bantering fun and entertaining. Thank you for making our dining experience memorable. 5/5 Food was tasty and not one dimensional. Minus 1 * because we were on the hunt for a perfect grilled squid and it was sodium galore. Eric explained it was marinated for 12 hours, hence the tenderness. It was soaked in EVOO when served, but chef, let's not be too heavy-handed with the salt. It came from the ocean with enough salt, don't you think? 4/5 For ambiance, it was typical bistro decor. Seating option outside. Except for 2 tables, every table was occupied. A few tables turned while we dined. 4/5 read more

Was craving Greek food and decided to look on Yelp. Found this place with an over abundance of reviews. The appetizer baba ghanoush was so good and we got to take a lot of of it home. The Gyro wrap was messy, but that might've been how I was eating it lol all flavors were good! read more

Greek Bistro in Laguna Hills, California is a family-owned Mediterranean restaurant known for serving traditional Greek dishes such as gyros, hummus, tzatziki, and grilled meats in a casual yet upscale dining environment. The restaurant emphasizes authentic flavors inspired by Greek culinary traditions while maintaining a modern California dining atmosphere. I came here one evening with my wife to try this infamous gem in Laguna Hills. It's rare to find a dining establishment rated 5 stars with 2k+ reviews, but if you really read into their reviews, you can tell that many of their reviews are bots with fake profiles to enhance their Yelp ratings. But it's just a marketing tactic that seems to be very successful for them, because it piqued my interest in trying it. And of course, their accolades and awards were something to consider as well. We got seated inside, and it had a very red-themed lounge vibe feel to it. Feels like an upscale modern restaurant with beautiful Greek coastal decor. My wife and I ordered their Gyro special plate and Shrimp & Ouzo Saganaki appetizer. The shrimp appetizer came out on a flambe sizzling platter. Prawns were plump, juicy, and delicious with the refreshing pico de gallo added. A well-seasoned and perfectly executed seafood dish. The gyro plate was good too, not the best tasting I've had, but the portion was big enough for us two to share. The vegetable skewer, gyro, pita, rice, and hummus were just average. Nothing extraordinary. I have to say everything was fresh-tasting, so I have to give credit when it's due. As for the bill, I was not a big fan of the hidden credit card fee. I don't understand why a successful establishment like this has to charge its patrons extra to use their credit cards. At least give us a warning or a heads-up beforehand, because new diners like myself wouldn't know unless we've eaten there before. There's nothing I despise more than restaurants tacking on hidden fees after paying. It definitely left a bad taste in my mouth. If you're going to accept credit cards, then deal with the fees the credit card companies charge you guys, not your customers. read more

I ordered the chicken plate, and I really enjoyed everything I ate. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, the veggies were seasoned well, and the tzatziki sauce was delicious. The soft, warm pita bread tied everything together perfectly. The waiter and service were also great, friendly, fast, and attentive. read more

After choosing Greek Bistro to celebrate a birthday, we made reservations and dropped in for dinner. The friendly staff quickly took our drink orders and returned with my Blue Moon and a frosty glass. Greek's menu had all sorts of Greek dishes; salads, plates, wraps and appetizers. There were so many wonderful choices, but I decided upon the gyro wrap and a side of seasoned fries. The gyro was the most substantial wrap I had ever ordered. It was deliciously large with plenty of lamb, greens, tomatoes, etc. It was fantastic, but honestly, I could have made due with half of it...lol. Paired with the Blue Moon, it was more than satisfying. The service is great, the food is great!...I'll be coming back to try some of their other dishes soon. read more

Great tasting Mediterranean cuisine made with high quality ingredients. When I ate here for the first time, I thought it was just another casual sit down spot to get a quick bite but this place is actually a nice restaurant with some upscale vibes. The cost of the food reflects the ambiance as it's not exactly cheap, especially when you eat here for dinner but it's hard to deny the taste and the quality of the food. I usually get the filet mignon and the chicken as they both come out tender and very juicy. Everything else that comes with your protein - the pita bread, rice, veggies, and sauces are all on point as well. They also have great service and make sure you have everything you need. Danny, who was our server, was very attentive and helpful with all our requests and questions. All in all, this may be one of the best Mediterranean restaurants I've ever eaten at and I definitely see my family and I becoming regulars here. read more

Avoid this place at all costs. The food quality is hazardous--the Greek chicken salad I ordered was spoiled and made me sick instantly. To make matters worse, the manager is unprofessional and argumentative. He offered zero empathy and refused to help with a refund. There is a total lack of accountability here, and the staff's entitled attitude makes the experience even worse. He suggested that I try to get my money back through DoorDash instead of offering me a refund himself. They treat their customers like scammers rather than valued guests and up-charge for everything. Incredibly rude staff and even worse food. I wouldn't be surprised if they intentionally put something in the food I ordered to make me sick. read more

Greek Yum!!! This Bistro was delicious. We started with the chicken wings. So good. The spicy sauce was a perfect addition. I had the chicken bowl. The chicken was so tender & juicy. Definitely worth the drive from San Diego. And to end the meal with the Greek coffee was so perfect Wait staff were so attentive and professional. Restaurant is nice and clean. Plenty of indoor & outdoor seating. When I'm in the area, I'll be back. read more

I had great Greek food in San Francisco several years ago and I've been looking for great Greek Food in Southern California ever since. Greek Bistro has a 4.8 review average with over 4000 reviews written, so it seemed like a great place to check out. I kept it simple this time! Ordered a saganaki, which was rich with savory flavor and flambeed tableside and I had a gyro that was very filling for a lunch! I need to come back to have more of their appetizers. They have a happy hour from 2:30-5:00 on weekdays and Saturdays, so that seems like a great day to come back and update my review! The saganaki was worth the trip and I look forward to having more here. read more

Good service and great food! I ordered the Moussaka and it was really good, I loved the flavors and it was really filling-I couldn't finish it. Also really snowed the side salad it came with. My mom says she really denied get chicken salad and we shared the babaganoush appetizer. Loved the babaganoush! It had smoked paprika on/in it and that made me keep going back for more. I'm not a huge fan of the colored lighting they use inside, but overall it's a nice but relaxed atmosphere. Their wine selection is a little limited & the ones I tried were just ok read more

Greek Bistro - Babaganoush- soo good! - Greek Near Me - Laguna Hills, California

"I mean we all knew the food would be good once we tired that heavenly Baba Ghanoush." "I'm not easy to please but this Baba Ghanoush makes me so happy" are the words that left my friends' mouths. The food was to die for. I cannot express how every aspect of the food was amazing: the Baba Ghanoush, Tzatziki, Gyro Meat, Rice, etc. All just wonderful. A bit pricey, but it will either fill you up or give you amazing left overs! Then the desserts were inexplainable. Their Napoleon an ice cream pastry dessert, fluffy puff pastry layered with sweet French vanilla cream, served alongside ice cream to drape on top adorned with a sweet topping elevating the vanilla some place new, was a delight to the tongue. Then their Greek Sunday was an extreme surprise but had the table fighting. Vanilla ice cream topped with Carmel drizzle, pistachio, and othering flavors, decorated by fried pita chips dusted with cinnamon sugar. (Which I must admit reminded me so heavily of some Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. Furthermore as they were leaving and the Sunday sat unfinished, I downed a fried pita chip because they were so good :P) It was such a wonderful evening here! By the way Danny was a charm! Super sweet, and almost got away with getting us all to get a dessert, and almost slipped by with getting someone to get another beer! A great energy and super patient with us. (And just since he asked, and was so sweet, I did create a Yelp account to fulfill his wish to post a review specifically on yelp and not a differing platform!) Make sure you go to the restaurant! So amazing! read more

Greek Bistro - Napoleon - Greek Near Me - Laguna Hills, California

I've come here at least a couple of times with my parents. The food is really good, and the service is excellent. It's always difficult to judge these strip-mall places from the exterior, especially in Orange County, because the sign and the color of the building make it look very casual--and it is casual--but this is a real sit-down restaurant. You could very easily bring a date here without looking like a cheapskate. We've only been here at night, so the inside is very dark in my mind. Dark-as-in-romantic, yes, but also dark-as-in-you-might-not-see-all-of-your-food. Because of the darkness and the way the tables are set up, you have tons of privacy at your table, so this might be an ideal date spot, but maybe reserve it for a fourth or fifth date, or at least for someone you're really into. The first time we came, it wasn't long after things opened up after COVID, so we were skittish about eating inside. Although the patio was closed, they were very accommodating to let us eat outside. The heat lamp near our table didn't work very well, but it wasn't that cold, and our server was a champ. He kept coming outside to check on us even though I could tell by watching that he was very busy with his inside tables. We left a generous tip, which he well deserved. They have always made us feel very welcome. It's super conveniently located right off the freeway, although it can be easy to miss the entrance to the parking lot. read more

Food is super expensive! Not worth it! I ordered spanakopita to bring to a potluck and representing my recent trip to Greece

This place is the best Greek you can find in all of Orange County in my opinion. I am always so confident bringing people here because I know they'll never disappoint. They do an amazing job with catering too. Their lemon chicken soup, sangria, chicken & gyro wraps, salad, fries, chicken wings & octopus & shrimp appetizers, falafels, are all absolutely delicious. I still need to try some of their other dishes, but it's so hard because my favorites are too tempting to resist! Erick and Diego are really wonderful too, they're always providing the kindest and best customer service. Looking forward to visiting their newer Glendale location soon!! read more

For me, one of the best tasting Greek food restaurant. I ordered the combination plate with Lamb and Beef. The tenderness of the meat was perfect and rest of the plate just was absorbed by it. Thoughtful service of attentive waiter checking if everything was ok and the cleanness of the place was very welcoming. read more

Amazing food the server Dikel was very nice. Recommended the good dishes and the ambiance was very nice and calm

Haven't been here in so long because it's just not convenient for me but since I was in the area, I had to get food! They have an online ordering to-go system and it was so simple and food was ready on time. I got the Dolmas which are literally the best because it was warm and had perfect fillings in it, the chicken wings which were tasty, and an entree with chicken. This place has always been a favorite and it hasn't changed. I love eating here. read more

The food and ambiance were so lovely at dinner tonight. I had the filet mignon bowl and it was delicious and filling! Huge shoutout to Dikel, our server, for being accommodating and lovely. I haven't had such great table service in a really long time, would definitely come back! read more

This is really nice place to enjoy excellent Greek food, (though I have a,lot more to try) also the atmosphere is really nice and relaxing. Service has always been great and portion size good. They do have an outdoor patio but it's next to parking lot so might be an option for overflow nights. We do tend to get their kabobs which we have tried them all. Meat tender and tasty seasoned perfectly. Appetizers we have tried them all trio dips each very good and splurged once on the Saganati served at table side with flaming cheese and pita. We did go early a few times and enjoyed happy hour prices on wine. read more

It is not "bargain basement" but it very well may be the best Mediterranean restaurant in South County and beyond. We would come here more often if it were less expensive, but such is life in our inflationary world. The lighting is blue and dim as I recall and has a modern, hip feel and look. SHRIMP SIZZLING PLATE appetizer: -- several tables got it and some had next level fire and others did not, likely based on location -- delicious flavors -- I used some extra bread to dip in EVO RATING = A+ GROUND BEEF KOOBIDEH MEAL PLATE: -- the tzatziki sauce is thick and creamy -- grilled veggies on skewers -- 2 skewers of flavorful ground beef -- ground beef IS the key to success here -- rice is excellent and we could use a touch more -- very good service and ambiance STAFF very attentive and efficient. read more

I'd actually come in hoping to have some delicious Greek meats, but quickly found upon reading through the menus that the good meats (not ground beef skewers) all cost $20+, so I settled with The Trio, which is hummus, babaganoush, and tzatziki with a wonderful side of pita included. My favorite of the three dips was the tzatziki (really smooth and clean), then the hummus (not a clear flavor profile), and last was the babaganoush (tasted smoked). The servers were outstanding and didn't hurry me at all nor did they suggest any hint of remorse despite my small order for a table of one person - quite the contrary, they were quite welcoming and inclusive, which I found perhaps surprisingly delightful. The outdoor seating was really nice on an early November afternoon and felt like it was good for my health. I'd enjoy this restaurant even more if I had more funds to allocate towards dining! read more

A friend and I meet here for lunch every few months. The restaurant is conveniently located just one block off the 5 freeway at La Paz in Laguna Hills outside of a small shopping center. There is usually plenty of parking and they have dining inside as well as a good sized outside patio which is great when the weather is nice. We usually start out with the hummus appetizer. The portion size is very generous, it has great flavor, and the pita bread is very fresh. For my entrée, I always order the Bistro Special plate which has two ground beef skewers, a veggie skewer, rice, and pita bread. The meat is so tender and has great flavor. The veggie skewer is seasoned wonderfully and is probably the best I've ever had. The "Greek rice" is pretty good, although I always prefer basmati rice when I dine at Mediterranean restaurants. The plate also comes with pita bread and a great Tzatiki sauce which is good for dipping everything in. My friend had the same plate but with the filet skewers and they were also excellent. Even their regular iced tea is good and doesn't need any sweetener added. All of the staff is friendly and attentive. If you enjoy Mediterranean cuisine, definitely try out Greek Bistro! read more

Ive heard great things about this restaurant and finally got to try it myself. I ordered the chicken pita wrap which was very good. The quality and taste of the chicken was perfect. We also ordered the Mediterranean style chicken wings appetizer to start, which we loved. It came with a spicy garlic sauce. Great flavor, it too much spice. We ended with a Greek coffee which was authentic and great quality! I would say this was a bit of a pricey lunch, but I'd definitely come back. read more

I can't recommend Greek Bistro enough! From the moment you walk in, the aroma of garlic, lemon, and oregano hits you, and you know you're in for a treat. The food here is consistently incredible. The Gyro meat is perfectly seasoned and carved--crispy on the edges but tender inside--and the Tzatziki is hands down the best I've had in Orange County (creamy, garlicky, and fresh). If you are a soup person, do not sleep on the Avgolemono (Lemon Chicken Soup); it is comforting, zesty, and absolute perfection. Beyond the food, the service is warm and welcoming. It feels like a neighborhood spot where they genuinely care about your experience. Great portions, fair prices, and top-tier flavors. This has easily become my go-to spot for Greek food in Mission Viejo! Ask for Dani! The best and warmest host! Try the Greek wine. It is to die for! read more
