    Chicken pita wrap
    Terri D.

    Welcome to Oakton! Best pita bread ever - so pillowy soft - the bomb. Sandwich was stuffed with chicken, yum, would have liked less sauce. Next time will order online where it's easy to customize (and maybe just get the pita only :) We live right around the corner, will def be back.

    What a great find! Found this gem last week on the way home from the office. Great decor, bright and inviting. Associates working were friendly and made sure I understood the menu. Ordered the gyro pita and Big Greek gyro bowl. The presentation for both was amazing. Loved the gyro in paper rather than foil like I get it from other places. I lived overseas and this rivaled some of the great small family owned locations I've been to. The gyro sandwich was packed so full of meat I only ate half and ate the rest later. The Big Greek bowl was full of fresh veggies that provided a nice crunch and contrast to the gyro meat. When you made it to the bottom you find some rice that will help finish off the dressings you applied. Bowl was served with fresh, warm pita! Took my son two sittings to finish also. Great news is the veggies stayed crunchy the next day! Would definitely recommend a visit if you're in Oakton.

    Enjoyed the dolmas and small Greek salad. SO had a gyro bowl. The dolmas were served warm which made them soft. I wasn't used to that, but the flavor was there. The Greek salad was very good I enjoyed the dressing. The pitawas soft , pillowy and fresh. Really enjoyed that. The gyro bowl was very large, and he could only eat half. Took the rest home, he said the meat was freshly carved and tasty. Service was very good, and everyone was kind. Will go again to try more things.

    Chicken Bowl

    The food here was good, and the quantity was very generous, which I loved. We got the Chicken Bowls, and it was very filling! The taste was fresh and I enjoyed eating it. Restaurant was a little small but very clean. Overall, the service was friendly and fairly quick.

    Pasticchio

    Delicious!!! Great service. Their pasticchio is the best one I've had in a long long time. And I like that it came with two sides.

    We have been looking for a replacement for skorpios since it closed and were very happy to be told about the Big Greek cafe in Oakton. Though it is a little ways down the street for us, it is well worth the trip. We started with the hummus and pita and then had the gyro pita and feta fries. Everything was tasty and the portions were good. The baklava was so yummy. I don't know what honey they use but it was especially tasty! The space is bright and cheerful as is the staff. They are super friendly! There is starting inside or you can carry out. The parking is a very big lot so it is never a problem

    Food is fine but very mediocre. Honestly I would suggest just driving the extra couple of miles to plaka.

I want to mention I was meeting friends and never did we once feel like we were rushed at all. They were very careful to watch and approach in a perfectly timed manner. The food was all very good. The fried zucchini was served not at all as I would expect. Very thin, but good. The tzatziki sauce had way too much garlic. The fried squid was excellent. Probably the best I've ever had. Extremely tender, and the coating was not hard at all. The scoldolia (garlic spread) served in the center had very little garlic in it. It should have a lot of garlic, unlike the tzatziki sauce. The octopus was served with a lovely, what I believe to be, lemony hummus. The Bronzino was excellent. The seafood souvlaki special was very good. It was served with rice and Greek style green beans. My friends had the loukumades (fried donuts). They said they were very good. I had the galotopoudiko which was good--could've been a little bigger for the price. Will definitely go back. My only comment is for the prices, I would expect a little nicer atmosphere. It's a little cold and baron. The atmosphere at Nostos is better. Sorry, but I always seem to forget to take pictures before I start eating the food.

    The food and ambience were both excellent (truly a 5/5!) The owner (or who we believe was the…read moreowner) also came by our table to check in and talk with us about the food, and he was very friendly. We appreciated that interaction and thought it added a nice personal touch to the meal. That being said, the end of the experience felt rushed once the restaurant got busier. Our server came by our table multiple times asking if we were still working on our food and even offered boxes on one occasion, despite us clearly still eating. It felt like there was pressure to clear the table. At one point, a different staff member also asked if she could take some of our plates. My friend had finished, so she said yes, but I was still eating and she almost removed my plate and I had to stop her. We were a bit confused by the urgency since there were still empty tables and no visible wait for seating. Unfortunately, it made the end of the meal uncomfortable for me, as I don't eat well when I feel rushed. It may have just been our server, but unfortunately the experience toward the end was unpleasant, which left a negative final impression.

There was a second birthday party in full swing, yet the family who owns the restaurant greeted us with such warmth and kindness and invited us to sit wherever we felt comfortable. You can immediately tell this is a place built on heart, humility, and truly good people. The service stood out in the best way. I asked whether the Caesar dressing contained anchovies due to a pregnancy restriction, and although our server wasn't completely sure, he handled it with care and thoughtfulness. He brought the dressing on the side and offered to swap it entirely out of an abundance of caution, which meant a lot and showed how much they value their guests' comfort. And the food. Absolutely delicious. Every dish tasted fresh and authentic, and the sauces alone are worth coming back for. You can tell everything is made with intention and pride. What really makes this place special, though, is the feeling you leave with. By the end of dinner, it doesn't feel like you just ate at a restaurant. It feels like you were welcomed into a family. If you're looking for authentic Greek food, incredible hospitality, and a dining experience that feels personal and memorable, I cannot recommend Eleni's Greek Tavern enough.

The restaurant isn't the easiest to get to and hard to see from the street, but you won't be disappointed with the quality of food and service!
