GreekTown Restaurant

Chef-owner George Vassiliou has crafted his own corner of Athens in north central Phoenix. Murals depicting scenic Greek side streets and tales from the Greek myths fill the walls. Grecian pottery and vases take up every nook and cranny. Blue and white are the dominant colors, and Greek music flows from the sound system. The dolmades are the best in the PHX, and Greektown’s kalamaria is off the chain. The moussaka, sweetbreads, and lamb are hard to beat as well. If all that weren’t enough, Vassiliou has been known to do his Zorba impersonation and smash a few plates when the mood hits. Enough ouzo, and you’ll be smashin’ plates, too. Opa, dude!
