Best Greek Restaurants in Tampa Bay (2026)

Hellas sits in the middle of the Tarpon Springs sponge docks and covers ground well past Greek standards, with a burger, meatloaf, and fried chicken sitting on the same menu as spanakopita. It reads as a family dinner spot first, a Greek restaurant second. Good for a weeknight table when the group can't agree on one cuisine.

Psomi handles the breakfast and brunch crowd on the Tampa side of the bay, with spanakopita and saganaki holding their own next to souvlaki plates built for a table full of regulars. It runs as a neighborhood morning spot rather than a dinner destination, and the crowd skews local, not tourist.

The Limani is a window operation on the Tarpon Springs waterfront, cash only, with a Greek Burger that swaps the pita for a bun around gyro meat and a chicken plate that both undercut ten dollars. Outdoor seating sits right at the port. It is a grab-and-go stop, not a sit-down meal, and it is priced like one.

Dimitri's puts moussaka, pastitsio, and dolmades on one combination platter looking out over the Anclote River, deck seating included. Parking runs a flat fee across the street, more by card than cash. This is the Tarpon Springs room built for a view and a full sit-down meal, not a quick bite between shops.

ELA! runs out of historic downtown New Port Richey, well north of the sponge docks, with a seafood platter of mussels alongside saganaki and moussaka. The dining room and patio fill on weeknights, and the cocktail program gets called out alongside the food. Worth the drive for New Port Richey diners who want a full Greek dinner without crossing to Tarpon Springs.

Greek Village Cafe in Largo leans coffeehouse first, with moussaka, lamb, and spinach pie as the savory anchors and pastries and espresso doing the rest of the work. The gyro portion draws complaints from regulars who remember a since-closed Seminole location. Best treated as a pastry and coffee stop that happens to serve a full plate.

Mykonos is a family-run room on the Tarpon Springs sponge docks where the gyro platter comes loaded with meat, potatoes, and salad for a fair price, and grilled octopus and Greek salad round out the table. The atmosphere stays relaxed rather than polished. It reads as the town's food matching its identity, not a show for visitors.

Mr Souvlaki draws Tarpon Springs regulars back for saganaki, pickled octopus, and dolmades in portions big enough to share, with service that gets singled out by name more than most rooms on this list. The dining room is small but fills fast. A dependable stop once the main sponge-dock strip gets crowded.

Costas sits off the main Tarpon Springs strip, which is exactly its appeal: no parking fight, lower prices, and a lunch built around Greek salad, smelts, and lemon chicken soup in generous portions. It draws people who have already done the sponge-dock walk once and want a calmer meal the second time around.

Acropolis in South Tampa runs a happy hour tight enough that regulars plan around it, with lamb gyro portions large enough for two adults to split. It doubles as a group celebration room, birthday parties included, and the bar-forward vibe sets it apart from the sponge-dock tavernas across the bay.

Stefano in Temple Terrace splits the menu between Greek and Italian, and the record leans toward the Italian side: Margherita pizza, shrimp Alfredo, and chicken Marsala in portions built for sharing. Catering orders move fast out of this kitchen. Treat it as a family Italian room with Greek options on the side, not the other way around.

Grape Leaf Express serves Lebanese food in Tampa, not Greek, with hummus and chicken, lamb racks, and a kids' salmon plate that keeps families coming back. The open kitchen and dietary flexibility make it a fit for mixed groups. Service pacing draws mixed reports, but the food record stays strong across visits.
