03-2026 We had such a fantastic dinner at Greekman's on Sunset Blvd in Silver Lake. This cozy neighborhood spot (formerly Freedman's) has that perfect casual-yet-vibrant vibe--think breezy Greek taverna meets LA cool--with excellent charcoal-grilled dishes and a great all-Greek wine list. The service was genuinely amazing. Our server Petra took incredible care of us from start to finish--attentive, knowledgeable, and warm without being over-the-top. And shoutout to the incredible bartender Penny. The whole team made us feel right at home. We went family-style and ordered a fantastic spread: * The lamb was a highlight--tender, perfectly grilled, and packed with flavor * Saganaki was cheesy, crispy, and fun. * Branzino came beautifully grilled with bright lemon orzo--fresh, flaky, and spot-on. * Mushrooms were earthy and well-seasoned. * Crispy fries were addictive. * We ended on a sweet note with honey balls (those little fried dough bites drizzled in honey--crispy, sticky, and addictive) and the baklava pie. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and meant for sharing. Portions lean toward the smaller side (typical for meze-style Greek plates), so ordering a variety works perfectly for a group. Greekman's hits that sweet spot of quality ingredients, simple execution done right, and welcoming hospitality. Whether you're in the vine-covered patio, intimate dining room, or at the speakeasy-style bar, it's a winner. We'll definitely be back--highly recommend! read more

So, this place is good, you just need to be prepared. Went with some friends who've been here many times. I had the chicken souvlaki (which was super tasty) with a big piece of pita (fresh) and the herbed rice (also very tasty), as well as the very lemony potatoes, which was crisp and yes, lemony, but not too sour, just the right amount. We also got the honey balls, which were sort of churro-ish but balls. The place was also nice and clean (though a little too dark if, like me, you get there early and have to kill time before the rest of your party arrives, so you try to read, but can't), and the staff was helpful and friendly. So, what do you need to be prepared for? Well, they usually serve stuff family style. Because of this, things don't come out at all once. In our case, we got the pita a good 10-15 minutes before the chicken. But while this would normally be a blemish, it wasn't because not only did my friends tell me this would happen, but so did our server. Which is why I'll go again, especially since I now know what to expect. One last note: the place is in a strip mall, and while I had no problem finding a spot, my friends had to go elsewhere. read more

Food was tasty. However service was bad - no-one greeted us when we walked in for a while (it wasn't too busy). My ceramic plate had a chip on it. Highlights were the shrimp and red meat. Vibes are cool and the mug they gave me for hot water was cute read more

My friends and I went on a Thursday night at 6:00pm and found on-site parking easily. The interior is nice, the service was great. My only complaint is that the portions were pretty small. A group of four of us shared the Souvlaki party, the beet salad and the zucchini salad. After eating at so many middle Eastern restaurants in LA serving large portions, we were disappointed. Thankfully the waitress suggested we order a 2nd pita for $3 or we would have been even more hungry when we left. Probably not coming back as it is pretty far from our house and we caught afternoon traffic. read more

Awesome, awesome awesome. Prices unreasonable drinks are well crafted. This is definitely a family friendly environment. Parking is a little difficult, but that's Los Angeles. read more

What a find. So unassuming, in a strip mall. But some of the best Greek food I've found in LA outside of the fancy Beverly Hills spots. Great for any occasion. We got the kabob sampler it was amazing. Worth a try! read more

Need to come back to try more items! We got the hummus plate, oyster mushrooms, fries and the cauliflower with labneh; great selection and food came out hot! Staff was really kind, food comes out as it's ready. Would recommend ordering extra pita, easy vegetarian options & some can be vegan! read more

Greekmans is a solid, hole-in-the-wall vibe of a Mediterranean food spot in Silverlake. I've been here twice and had an opportunity to try a good chunk of their plates. The highlights for me are their souvlaki and lamb chops! This last visit my husband and I went together and got the souvlaki party, which comes with one of each of their 5 souvlaki, pickles, one piece of pita, and tzatziki and hummus for $48. We also got their cauliflower with spicy labne which was yummy and flavorful. We ended up needing an extra pita to finish the dips too. All in all, everything was yummy but I think it's a tad pricey for what you get. A solid option for an easy date night though, especially with the vibey ambience inside! read more

Food was tasty but the portions are small small small. It's served "family style" but we had 6 people and I think we each got a few bites, you need a ton of options to feed that many people. I'd say it's family style for two or three. We got about 7 dishes and it was still not enough. It's also very pricey for the size of the plates. As I said, the actual food was good my favorite was the lemony potatoes, just be prepared to either spend a lot or go with one other person. It's very dark in there as well but it's a cool vibe if you're looking for something a little more private. read more

The overall experience was somewhat tainted by the ending, but this was just my experience. The salad with zucchini instead of lettuce was incredibly flavorful. I would highly recommend for anyone! We also got the "party" dish which included one of every skewer. My favorites were the chicken and the ribeye. The shrimp tasted like straight up charcoal, and the others were not my personal preference. The French fries and aioli were soooooooo good! The perfect complement to any dish on the menu. Where it went wrong -- we were wrapping up and asked if we wanted dessert and we said no. The check was immediately brought over and not five minutes later they whisked away every single plate. We definitely weren't finished eating or chatting and felt like we were completely pushed out. The restaurant wasn't super busy or anything, so I'm not sure if this is policy or what, but it was pretty off putting. read more

10/10 The chx was so tender, soft and seasoned to perfection (not pictured). We also ordered the oyster mushroom, potatoes, and the hummus with pita and market vegetables (these were pickled). The vibe is perfect for groups and or dates. The bar is full service and has a great wine menu. Restaurant is small and intimate. The desert was my favorite - the pistachio baclava slice I recommend this. The dessert was a bit hard, not sure if this is typically the way it's served. Kitchen closes at 10. Waitress and staff were very friendly. Parking available in the lot or street parking. read more

I was told this was THE place for Lamb Chops in Silver Lake and it's been around for a minute ! In side and outside seating . Lamb Chops, Octopus, zucchini chips, hummus w/warm pita and drinks (Cosmo w/ pomegranate juice) didn't disappoint. Server "Petra" was knowledgeable and patient- loved the wine suggestion. Yes there is a 4% surcharge and yes it's a little pricey (food). Cosmo's were $16 each (average price) but the Bartender was very easy on the eyes so hardly noticed the $$. Only gave 4 stars because: It's located in a small strip mall next to a Laundromat with only a few parking spaces so finding a spot even on the street is challenging. But if you're patient it's really worth it ! Inside of restaurant is 100% nicer than outside ! read more

There are reviews about places you eat at and places you get delivery from . I have eaten at Greekman's and it was quite good, but this article is specifically about getting something on fucking Postmates. I live in Silver Lake (up the hill fairly near Greekman's) and when I'm lucky they're are a couple restaurants that take it seriously and want to deliver me an amazing meal Kismet consistently performs on this level Speranza used to Greekman's for the third time in a row now has been on that kryptonite. They deliver it perfectly, with appropriate items separated and at correct temperature and last time they forgot a sauce which is a bummer because you want sauces with Greek stuff and I don't take it out on the delivery person as it's not their fault but I put a note at this time. "Could you please give me the sauce" even though they charge separately. This time they read it and double sauced me so that during Coachella live streams had amazing hot Greek food. Got the octopus, the appetizer that has feta zucchini whatever else and the lamb burger and they were all incredible. During the stream it was just a perfect to not be there this week in the dust and commotion and to have this quality of food while still enjoying it. No notes, totally killed it on this delivery. I recommend it' highly especially if you live close by read more

I decided to visit Greekman's for an early weekend dinner, and I had a great meal! I decided to sit outside, but there is bar and table seating indoor. They also offer a happy hour menu, and if you're not sitting at the bar you can ask for the happy hour menu when you're ordering between 5-6 PM. I ordered the hummus and pita with market vegetables along with the chicken souvlaki. I enjoyed the pickled vegetables and the smooth hummus along with the lightly salted and delicate pita slices. The chicken souvlaki was tasty though it was moderately sized. However, the two plates combined made for a satisfying dinner. I also liked their house martini and Greek 75 cocktail, and the service was friendly! read more

Good food but service was lacking. It wasn't even busy and food took forever. Had to ask for things as the server seemed busy doing other things. Also they automatically charge an 18% gratuity on all check no matter the party size. Would give higher rating but due to these factors I feel 3 is fair especially for a strip mall restaurant. Bathroom was cute and very clean inside. Also, nice sized patio. read more

Delicious food, strong martinis and great service! Overall a great choice for a date night or with family. Prices are reasonable and the food is delicious. Highly recommend the souvlaki platter! Will definitely be back to try some other small plates. A unique spin on Greek. My only notes and cons are that the chairs are not comfortable with the backs having this gaping hole and it was pretty cold inside! read more

Meats were delicious- the ribeye and octopus. The other dishes were good and tasty, but I would not say worth the $$$ + mandatory 18% gratuity on top of tip. The vibes and food are good, just not worth the price. Our server was amazing!! read more

Always love the intimate environment and decor. The food is so solid and doesn't disappoint. The cocktails are very good, along with the wine list. It is Spendy but makes for a fun night out. read more

Food was ok i had the branzino and my friend lamb chops. Both of us were like eh about our food we got a good laugh when our food arrived and they had said portions were shareable. I had a margarita and forgot what she had my margarita took a zip and i didnt touch it anymore. The layout, décor, vibe of the place was really nice. I liked the lighting etc was really nice. Service. Was terrible. After ordering never came around again. Maybe came on wrong night. read more

Love the gigante beans and grilled feta. The octopus is usually tasty but a little too burnt this time. The new lambwich on the happy hour menu is a winner. Zucchini chips came out hot and the minty dipping sauce was refreshing. read more

Service was great, and the restaurant is a fun vibe. Go with a big group so you can try a variety of dishes. We tried the cauliflower, beets, hummus, panzanella salad, oyster mushrooms, branzino, potatoes, and some friends had the rib eye. For dessert we tried the baklava pie and the olive oil ice cream. The panzanella was my favorite dish, but overall everything was solid. It's in a small strip mall and has a few parking spots which is an added bonus. read more

I've been here twice, first time was great! Timely food, attentive servers and the food was great. I also love the outdoor seating area. My second time there, my partner and I had a reservation on Valentine's day. The food was incredibly slow, we did not get our first main until an hour after being seated. This was to be expected, but the servers were barely stopping by to offer water while we waited. When we got our first main, the waitress literally dropped it on our table while looking at another table she was talking to - didn't say a word to us. This was the grilled octopus, which we ordered because we loved it the first time we had it here! I was so disappointed to see they gave us a significantly smaller portion of octopus and sauce, compared to our first time there. It was also much saltier. Overall, our second visit was disappointing. I plan to steer clear during their busier times, and I hope they're more consistent with their serving sizes. read more

Light, fresh, flavorful food. The lemony potatoes and the souvlaki were our favs. Dark inside, which is a vibe. It's a great neighborhood spot. FYI, they don't do the automatic 18% thing, rather include an automatic 4% for back of house. read more

The food here is amazing and delicious. I love the ambiance inside. It's tucked away in a small plaza, so you would never expect it just walking by. I always take out of town friends here or celebrate special occasions. Can't go wrong with the souvlaki platter and a gin martini and then end with baklava pie and olive oil ice cream. What a treat! read more

This is a cute little spot in Silverlake that has FREE parking. I think that in itself is sufficient reason to eat here. The restaurant is in an area with other small businesses, so the parking lot is shaded. Hopefully you have luck in snagging a spot when eating here! As for food, my friend and I enjoyed: - hummus and veggies: the hummus is very tasty but the pickled veggies are the true star of this app. Heavily spiced but very good! - fries: regular fries - oyster mushrooms: the mushrooms and the sauce were very delicious! - giganti beans: this actually kind of tasted like pizza. Lol! Not a bad thing! - grilled branzino: by this point, I think the above was enough for us so we didn't eat much of this and instead took it to go. However, what little we did eat was good and the skin was crispy. Overall a lovely meal. The restaurant it pretty cute insides my friend and I got there at 6pm and it was nice and quiet/low key. Around 7/730, it was getting quite loud w the acoustics, so I'm glad we came earlier and caught up beforehand. ;) read more

It's is slightly hidden in a strip mall on sunset but once you get inside it's very cozy. Good food and atmosphere The lamb chops were as good as advertised and the big surprise was the octopus which was soft and tender unlike the chewy version I always seem to get elsewhere. read more

I've been to Greekman's a handful of times and it always exceeds my expectations. Delicious food, lovely ambiance inside and out (especially now that it's early summer -- sit outside and enjoy the patio!), and a warm and attentive staff. I love the various nonalcoholic drink options, and the plates are perfect for sharing. Skewers are just the right amount of charred (the oyster mushroom skewers are a must-order). The lemony potatoes and the prawns are major hits, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Fresh, simple, flavors and just genuinely good folk give this trendy hidden gem a family-run feeling. read more

Pretty good food and prices for an LA restaurant. Good for a date night. Best lamb I've ever had, cooked perfectly.

Food is solid. Drinks are great. But $9 for a 12oz can of LA beer is just obnoxious, also not including the tip... so we're talking somewhere around 10.5 dollars for a can of beer. Stupid. The food here is so good, I think they could use a little bit of encouragement with regard to portion size on some things. For example, I got a side of fries with some friends and they were great! A little overly salty, but otherwise crunchy and fresh, with a very generous serving size. However, also got some pita and hummus, and I literally laughed when they brought the hummus out. Not exaggerating at all it was about a tablespoon. Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food, hummus should be served generously as it is both inexpensive to make delicious to eat. A tablespoon was flat out insulting and cheap. That said, the entrées and appetizers were delicious. Salads are small and the hummus is small, but everything else seemed fair. I also don't mind slow service, but you have to occasionally check in, and you have to keep drinks from staying empty, at minimum. We ran out of drinks, the entire table, multiple times, water, alcohol, there was literally nothing and no one was checking in for 30 to 4o minute intervals. Even after we were done eating, we waited for about 40 minutes to get our check, it was pretty exhausting to be honest. Not a demanding table, not a condescending table, did not complain as all of us are in the retail industry. The complaints here are so easily avoidable that it really took away from the experience. And this place is not cheap, but you definitely get what you pay for (for the most part). So an expensive meal with overpriced beer and a few small portions, with excruciatingly slow service stuck pretty hard. Especially waiting for the check, you cannot make customers wait idling for a half hour to give you money, that's ridiculous. read more

Such amazing food. Great service. Amazing atmosphere. Smaller portions but I think they are meant to be shared family style.

I know and love Greek Food and was excited to find this location listed on Resy. We sat outside as it was super loud with closely placed tables inside. The outdoor area had better table spacing and was less populated. Service was good overall and somewhat attentive. I ordered the Greek Salad which was perfect - fresh and packed with bursts of traditional flavors. The Bronzino fish was well priced with a decent portion and also packed with flavor. No doubt I'll be back to try the other items - so refreshing to experience a great Greek eatery with normal pricing in LA. read more

Tasty and delicious food! I hosted a dinner for my aunt and uncle who are very well traveled and sophisticated, and last minute my oven broke. I emailed an order last minute and requested rush preparation. Some of the items we ordered were steak, chicken, and shrimp skewers that were cooked perfectly. The lemon potatoes were a huge hit as were the fried zucchini. They provided ample sauces, although I thought the hummus was a bit bland. Nice portions and we were able to enjoy leftovers the next day. We are locals so we will definitely be visiting for lunch! read more

Service was terrible. Table of 6. Almost 2 hours to get our food. And it came out so sporadically that we were not able to dine together. The waitress never came by to explain or apologize. The chef said they just have one grill and can't cook more than one thing at a time. A strange thing to say for a restaurant. The food was fine but the wait time wasn't worth it. read more

Our favorite Greek restaurant, ever! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with stunning decor that truly captures the essence of the Mediterranean. Now on to the food. Oh, the food! This is truly some of the best Greek cuisine I've ever had. The flavors are bold and vibrant, with fresh, quality ingredients in every dish. Everything on the menu is fantastic. But what truly sets Greekmans apart is the service. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, and they go above and beyond to make sure you have an exceptional dining experience. They're happy to make recommendations or offer personal touches to your meal - all with genuine warmth and kindness. Overall, I cannot recommend Greekmans enough. This is truly the epitome of exceptional dining - amazing food, stunning atmosphere, and unparalleled service. You won't find a better Greek restaurant in LA! read more
