Eleni's Greek Taverna in Springfield - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A great restaurant. My seafood pasta was really tasty. Great chardonnay too. Brandi was an excellent server, very friendly.

An excellent and authentic Greek option in the Springfield area. We lived in Europe for over 20 years and the food in Eleni’s is as good as the one we had in Athens, Santorini, and Mykonos - really good and huge portions. The Eleni’s Greek Tour is just WOW! My wife had the Gyros plate and it was equally delicious. The baklava is one entry not to be missed!

This has been one of our favorite restaurants for years. This time we were there for breakfast with the whole family of 9 including 3 generations and it was super special! The food was delicious, and the service makes you feel like royalty! It's a very relaxing but beautiful place to share special moments. The Greek Omelet is always a favorite but everything on Eleni's extensive menu is outstanding! And they have best coffee anywhere! 100 stars!!!

Great local spot! A little warm inside for me but it was 100 degrees out when I went. Highly recommend ordering the Greek specials, everything was cooked to perfection and tasted excellent. The servers were all incredibly friendly. All day breakfast is always a bonus.

Wow. That’s all I can say. This place has large food portions and the food is packed with lots of flavor. I got the Greek carbonara and loved it. Ever since bite had a combination of pancetta, veggies and pasta noodle. Our server Rio was attentive and kind. I will definitely be back.

Loved their octopus, soft n tender with an amazing sauce. We only had appetizers n they were on point! Will definitely go back. Delicious, fresh, hot food. Thank you

A wonderful dining experience for me and my family. Excellent service and outstanding food!

Such a happy, friendly place! The service is exceptional and the food is very good, especially the Greek specialties. Elemis has a very relaxed atmosphere. Very pleasant!!

The staff was very nice, the establishment seem old but cozy.

Amazing lamb kabob. Phenomenal team!! Great service!! Thank you so very much!

Very good food here. They have lots of options from Al day breakfast to burgers, seafood, and wraps or sandwiches. Nice place for a casual date

Chicken kabob overcooked and dry. Veggies overcooked. Rice bland. Baklava was decent and the reason this wasn’t 2 stars.

Great food. Staff is very friendly.

Absolutely wonderful! I had a Greek salad with chicken. Everything was cooked perfectly and the flavors were exactly what you wanted out of a Greek salad.

The food was excellent! Good portion sizes and the customer services was on point.

My family (including 4 very young kids) really enjoyed our dinner tonight! The waitress was excellent and patient with our young family. The food was hot and came out quickly. I got the Greek burger and my wife got a gyro and we’d recommend them both. All the food was very good. I’d definitely go back to a Eleni’s Greek Taverna, and recommend it to others!

Can't say enough great things. Food is fabulous and the service is fantastic.

This is our go to place when we need to unwind and just let go and relax. I feel like family there

Portions were large service was great.

The food was excellent and nicely presented. It's a comfortable place to dine. I was very impressed with the side Greek salad that came with the entree. The lettuce was very fresh and crisp, as was the cucumber. The chunks of feta cheese were big and delicious and the whole salad came with a very tasty, I assume, homemade dressing. Side salads don't usually get such expert attention as the one I had at Eleni's.

This place is great! Its not crazy expensive, and the food is delicious, and the service is really fantastic. I send my compliments to Sam our waiter who was friendly, had good advice and quite attentive. The atmosphere when I was there was quiet and it was easy to talk.

Had a great time at the belly dancing show!

Nice, spacious , and clean. Food was good, service was efficient, and price was very fair. The only draw back was the TV. Wish they put on something more pleasant (other than news).

The Lamb Chops, and Clam Chowder were amazing!!! Excellent customer service and atmosphere. One of the best Greek restaurants ever... can't miss.

We had the Eleni's Greek Tour, Gyro Platter, 2-dip appetizer and french toast with strawberries. Food was fantastic and the service was perfect. Entrees came with greek salad which was also delicious. Really great spot for Greek food in the Springfield area.

Eleni’s has the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had. I make the trip every now and again just to get some. I haven’t gotten around to trying much of their other food, but I liked The Greek Marinated Chicken with the roasted potatoes.

Kids friendly classic dinner. Usually no lines even for Sunday brunch and it's a big place.

Eleni’s is one of the best Greek diners we know . The food is authentic as well as very filling . We have been going to Elenis over 15 years with my family and hands down once you go to this restaurant it’s hard to go to another one with this quality of food and friendly service .

The foods were great. Our server left while we were eating so We had to ask different server for box and cheque... So far the best greek restaurant in DMV. visited in November.

Great service and food and very family friendly.

Reposting because my review got deleted. I literally got extreme food poisoning from the place , was sick for like 3 days

Staff adorable and outstanding services and scrumptious delicious food like in Greece

The food and service 👏👏👏 Saganaki the best in DMV First time I was so surprised the freshness of the food great place well done🍷🍷🍷

First time eating here. A very nice surprise is the sweet tea! Wow. Perfect and fresh brewed. As expected, the gyro sandwich was delicious and filling!! Lots of locals, and the staff knew them on sight and used their name. That tells you a lot about a restaurant. I will absolutely return.

Delicious and generous portions. If you don't mind waiting for good homemade food, this is the place to go. The wait is more than worth the food. The owners are friendly and cheerful. It is the best Greek food I have ever had. If I could rate it with 10 stars, I would.

Our favorite place when we are in Springfield VA. Pleasant and efficient service and Greek food prepared exactly as my mother-in-law did, who was the best cook I have ever met. Be careful, GPS gets you to the wrong end of the shopping mall. Dolmades as a dinner with ground beef and rice and a Greek lemon sauce. The half chicken, OFF the bone sonthey were able to make it all thighs and no breast at our request.

I walked to this restaurant from my hotel. I enjoyed the Greek salad with in house dressing. I also liked the dolmades platter with fried potatoes and green beans in a tomato sauce, two portions! It was not busy on a Thursday lunchtime

My meal was amazing, and the service was fabulous!

Great food that is reasonably priced. Very warm and welcoming staff. Love that it’s a family owned business. I had the chicken souvlaki sandwich and my colleague had the gyro and we both loved our food. Highly recommended!

Family owned and run. Very hospitable and courteous. Food was very good. I've missed authentic Greek food and now I know where to get it locally.

Love the food here. Great quality The menu is huge, with everything you can imagine, including breakfast as well. Very large portions and fair prices. Plenty of parking.

24OCT.2020 Delicious hummus and nice service.

I would like to contact you by email because I come from Germany and I noticed discrepancies when the debit from your restaurant was made to my credit card. Please write an email address under the reviews that I can contact.

Excellent food fairly priced . Great staff.

Great Gyros platter with Greek salad and Greek potatoes or beans. Very comfortable environment. Shopping center parking lot has plenty of spaces.

Authentic delicious food. Very friendly service and worth the price!

This was my first experience at this restaurant and it was my last. I ordered the gyro platter that came with no veggies, soup and fries. I complained immediately because this was a carryout order. My meat was so dry that it choked me, the lemonade sweet tea was terrible, the fries were so flimsy and greasy. They gave me a free order of french fries that was a little better. I asked for a extra sauce for the gyro meat and they wanted to charge me for it. When you have a very dissatisfied customer, you should accommodate them because it provides excellent customer service. The sauce is only 50 cents so for gd measure, she should've over 2 of them. Something that simple would satisfy the customer if they're not a greedy person.

My friends and I enjoyed our time and meals there. A great variety of food to choose from.

We were staying in a nearby hotel and ordered takeout. The food was top quality, and the portions were enormous! Would definitely order from this restaurant again.

Very average at best. I had lamb chops which were just okay. My food must have been prepared first because they were lukewarm while potatoes were cool. Plate was covered in spillage from beans. My wife’s pasta dinner was much better and still hot even after I finished mine. Devore is old diner style and place in desperate need of updating. Service was barely average at 7pm on weeknight.

Great service, the staff is nice!!

The food was great. The service was on point. The place was extremely waem, and I hope this is just temporary

Large portions of perfectly cooked and spiced food- more than we could finish! Definitely going back again!

I was excited to see a Greek restaurant with good reviews nearby. We ordered the Greek Tour. I was so disappointed. The moussaka was cold in the middle. The pastitsio had a very odd texture. The fasolakia was very watery and one of my children commented that the version I make at home is better. (I'm not Greek but love to cook Greek food). We did like the spanakopita and tiropita but everything else was lackluster at best. I wouldn't be surprised if it was reheated food from the day before. I didn't bother with dessert because I was scared of how they'd manage to mess up galaktoboureko.

My mom enjoyed her seafood pasta. I ordered lamb chops, taste ok, too much fat. I expected prime cut since I am charged $44. The octopus tasted ok. I don't think I am coming to this restaurant again.

Real authentic Greek food! I love this place. Greek mama's food. Saganaki & spanakopita are the best l have had in America since l moved from Greece.

Great food, old school atmosphere.

I went there with two other friends for dinner and the place looked very nice inside and outside. I got there a little bit early on a Wednesday night so the restaurant wasn’t too busy. They seated me right away while I wait for my two other friends to arrive. It took my friends 30 minutes to get there due to traffic however the waitress was so nice. She did not pressure me to order anything and she brought out water for everyone even though I was the only one there. She kept checking on me to see if I was OK and she was just so amazing the whole night. One friend and I order a Pilekia platter each and One friend order a Gyro. To be honest, the food wasn’t warm when they came out and the Gyro meat was dry. I’m not sure if it was because it was a slow night therefore the meat wasn’t as fresh. I ended up paying about $35 including tax and tips. It wasn’t too pricey for the amount of meat that we got (we got a lot of meat from that platter!) So overall it was a four out of five experience. However, I would not come back personally since it’s not really my cup of tea.

I moved to Spotsylvania & miss this place so much. I come to NOVA like 5 times a year and this is always where I get food. Service and food is always amazing!

Food was ok, service was ok, price was a bit high for what it is. French fries were cold, the salad was extremely basic and missing ingredients that the menu stated it included. House dressing tasted like watered down mayo. Was worth a try but definitely not a place we will be going back to.

Super friendly staff, neighborhood gathering place vibe, excellent Greek selections -- and not the "usual" greek-italian fare, but clearly Greek selections and seasonings. Try the lamb chops. Then try not trying them again!

Nice for a small business gathering. Very good food and excellent service.

Great portions! No one goes home hungry.

Avoid this place at all costs. Food was awful. Dried out crunchy gyro meat, cores of the lettuce, rancid vinegar/oil and not fully cooked tiropita.

This place is amazing! Their traditional Greek dishes are flavorful and fresh. Their staff is kind and helpful. Going to be in our regular rotation!

Greek food fresh gyro platter, daily soips and the greep potatoes oh my good

Excellent, helpful staff. Generous portions. Recommend the Tour of Greece to sample a variety of Greek foods, but large portions.

Love this place! Food is always wonderfully fresh and tasty. Friendly, casual, cozy. Recommend the Greek salad, omelettes, fresh fruit is a little pricey but worth it. Baklava is best I've had.

Family run and it shows!! Efficiently run and kitchen doesn't disappoint. Greek dishes are very good and will make you come back for more. Tables, booths and restrooms are spotless. God bless this Greek family for toughing it out through the pandemic and remaining high quality and affordable for families.

Food is flavorful and large portions. Ambiance could use more lighting and furniture / interior is dated.

This place is beyond incredible the service was femoral the food was great couldn't ask for a best place to have a amazing dinner with family and friends definitely recommend it.

Great Healthy Food at Reasonable Prices.

I LOVE Greek food. Eleni's Greek Taverna has some of the most delicious Greek food I have had🤤🤤🤤💯. I ordered Eleni's special it was absolute 🔥🔥🤤🤤🤤. It was so delicious all the flavors came together wonderfully the steak I ordered Medium, and it was done to perfection 💯 the eggs Benedict was perfection 💯 the toast was so buttery 🧈 and toasty. The service was polite and tentative. What more could you ask for right. The atmosphere was relaxing, and everyone around me was enjoying themselves. I highly recommend Eleni's Greek Taverna.

I love this place. The people are friendly, the food is delicious, and the wait staff is so kind! Great experience everytime we go!

Food is always fanatic. It is worth the wait since only 2 servers work (mother and daughter.) They are always kind. Food portions are enormous and filling.

Excellent Greek food! Good sized portions, and oh the dolmades and moussaka…. Will change your LIFE. So good!

Bible study group Christmas meal with reservations in advance for 10. Quick, friendly service in a family- run business. The group tried a wide range of menu options and everyone was pleased with their meal - and we were all asking the others what they had ordered because it all looked excellent.

Great stuffed peppers! Wonderful service!

Checked this place out this weekend for brunch. Highly recommend. Great service.

Delicious fresh food, nice big portions, kind staff. They are willing to do separate checks for large parties. I will be coming back.

Great gem with personality and personal touches. Greek food is great and their breakfasts are bountiful! The staff remembers you if you come often. If you are looking for your "cheers bar", this would be it. Note , you have to pay the credit card fees, which is 4% but 4% is really small when you do the math. Maybe an extra dollar. For a small business, an extra dollar to keep them open seems worth it!

We ordered steak and cheese and a svoulaki. Food was decent average quality that was freshly made when ordered. The 4% credit card fee was a bit annoying.

Great food, abundant portions, friendly atmosphere, entusiastic service, great value! Eat at Eleni's often. Food creatively prepared, great presentation, very delicious. Heartily recommend for any occasion.

No waiting staff to speak of Food you can tell from Costco cans

This is some of the best Greek food I've ever had, and I've been to a ton of Greek places. The moussaka was the best I've ever had, the souvlaki was amazing, and our server was super kind and hospitable. I wanted to come here twice on my trip to DC but unfortunately was only able to stop here once. I will definitely come back!

The omelette was average. The home fries were not browned, and they had a strange texture. And don't you love it when the server talks while she is holding your food right under her mouth.

The best original greek food around VA, went there with a group of friends yesterday and it was awesome, even the service was made in real greek language. Good job guys

Blueberry pancakes, very tasty! My father had the strawberry waffles, fresh strawberries! Tom, Frankie and Ken come here every Friday and Sunday for brunch. Eleni treats them like family with a smile and great service!!

Excellent food, large portions, fast & courtesy service Reasonably priced for what you get.

Lamb chops were the best, can’t beat a good chop. Greek salad and other sides were tasty too. The service was great and very attentive.

Love this place, I'm a frequent customer of them.

First time visiting. Ordered carry out. The order was correct and packed perfectly. The customer service was amazing. So friendly and the food was phenomenal. Will definitely be back.

Spacious, nice setup, prompt service,delicious food. We will be coming back!

We met Kathy, the owner, years ago when she worked at another restaurant. A few years ago she decided to open her own Greek restaurant, Eleni’s. She is amazing for remembering and personalizing her service to the customer. We just returned from a trip to several Greek Islands. The food here is the most authentic and delicious of any Greek restaurant in Northern Virginia! Greek salad has the most delicious feta cheese and gyro meat anywhere. And don’t skip dessert! Biggest and best baklava ever!

Place was clean, service was good. The Greek salad with chicken was severely lacking ingredients. It had 4 tiny olives, 3 tiny strips of feta and no anchovies. The dressing was somewhat resembling Greek dressing. The chicken was fresh and the pita was hot, though. All in all, it was okay for lunch. I would skip this salad next time.

Super service et nourriture excellente!!

A good meal option for friends, or date night. No reservations needed walk-in welcome. They also have a lot of breakfast options as well.

Regardless of what I order, (and there are so many options!) the food is consistently delicious and plentiful. I highly recommend Eleni's for Greek and American food.

10/10 food and waitress was hot.

Oh my! The food and service were wonderful! My daughter says best tzatziki anywhere in our area, the greek salad is fresh and crispy, with a stuffed grape leaf on the side. We will return often to keep going thru the menu!
