Le Petit Greek

Very good. Very fresh. Great service. Everything homemade. Good wine. Neighborhood favorite.

My boyfriend and I have started a new Sunday tradition. We come to the Larchmont Farmers market, then come here after for brunch. Rumyana who usually waits on us is so kind!
The food is so fresh, everyone is pretty hospitable, and they have $ 5 mimosa specials. We order the pikilia which is the appetizer plate of all 5 dips and the meatballs and grape leaves.
I personally LOVE the grape leaves, they taste more like a Spanish rice than anything. And the lamb meatballs are my boyfriends favorite! WARNING: The caviar though is pretty darn SPICY!!!
Everything is sooo tasty, I think they have the best fresh options on the street. They also have daily specials like whole fish, salmon salad with power greens, and other amazing food options of course!
This place does not believe in diets. But rather in great eating. I have to agree! Just eat good and your body will love you!

Ok restaurant but the food is always way to acidic and lemony. Nice ambiance and good wines.

Slightly on the expensive side and quality of the food not matching the standard. Our prime server was little less friendly than usual or may be that was his personality. I tried grilled chicken and my wife tried gyro. Though they don’t serve gyro for dinner, they accommodated her request. Nice of them !
Parking could be a trouble on that busy street !!

A bit pricey, but their food is always so good~
When I went for my birthday, their sang the happy birthday song in Greek! I felt very special and love it!

I love, LOVE coming to eat at this place!!! One of the best Greek foods I’ve tried, and best customer service I’ve received. After becoming some what of a regular, they make me feel like family.
The food is DELICIOUS. Everyone is very professional. There is a reason why they get busy, everything is just so good. I like to come when it’s a bit slower; weekdays around 2 or 3. But that’s just my preference.
If you haven’t tried it, then you have to try it!
Great spot for a date. Romantic!

One of my friends grabbed me a gyro while they were there. I paid $ 14 for a gyro me kreas and it was filled with the cheap beef/​lamb fake gyro meat?! For that insane price I was expecting a real Greek gyro. There wasn’t even any fries in there like a real Greek gyro. That should only cost around $ 5.

If you’re in the area and looking to spend a relaxing Greek meal inside a comfie dining area, or outside under an awning, casually not looking at celebrities who might be walking along the sidewalk, or dining next to you, this is the place. If you also treasure a sincere, welcoming smile and great service, this is still the place.
The Good: Say, «I’ll start with the hummus,» and you will not regret it. The hummus is lightly drizzled with olive oil but the show stealer is the pita bread. All other pita breads pale in comparison. It is warm, chewy, lightly toasted, and the BEST ever. They are like little, soft triangle pillows.
Another BEST ever is the calamari salad… so many perfectly flavored and grilled calamari in their final swim amidst greens and other stuffs of salad that I must sometimes save half and spend the next hours until I can finish it obsessively thinking of the savory little morsels. I hesitate to even speak of this dish as it is not always on the menu and I fear a run on it next time the special is available. Forget I said anything.
The Bad: Warm lamb, as in the lamb salad special, is not the stuff of salads. Perhaps it is me, not the warm lamb wilting my fresh greens like tiny, meaty hands pawing a cool glass of iced water on a hot day. Perhaps if this imagery also disturbs you, perhaps then it is not just me. Perhaps you should not heed my opinion, order this, and save the calamari salad special for me.
The Indifferent: Anything chicken… I don’t get white meat. It’s dry. It doesn’t taste like anything. But this is not fair because I feel similarly against most white meat poultry. My dining companions love it, especially with the lemon sauce. It is probably just me. Get the chicken. Leave the calamari special alone.
The potatoes… they look delicious to me… cooked into compliant soft chunks and glistening yellow with the lemon sauce… again, a favorite of my dining companions, and yet I find them to be… starchy. Clearly here, the issue lies within me. Get the potatoes.
Epilogue: Knowing full well I had given up sweets for Lent, my dining companions ordered baklava topped with vanilla ice cream. Who even eats baklava like that?! Resisting the urge to grab fistfuls of this never-​before-​seen concoction and stuff it into my mouth, I daintily pick up a thinly-​sliced apple garnish… painfully avoiding all contact with the ice cream, eat it… and ponder why these white-​meat-​eating, starchy potato friends of mine would do such a cruel thing.
Easter is coming. I will rejoice in God’s Greatness and Mercy… and I will eat baklava with vanilla ice cream.

Extremely slow pace severs. There is a $ 15 bottle opening fee. Food is average. Overall is a low quality no special restaurant.

If I hadn’t been mislead about the PRICE of the food at Le Petit Greek I probably would not have bothered writing this review. I would have just chalked up the dinner to an ordinary meal at another pedestrian restaurant. But since they had a menu posted outside that had prices that didn’t reflect the more expensive dinner prices, I had no choice.
It seems to me that when it’s time for dinner, they should post the DINNER menu outside the restaurant, instead of misleading people with the LUNCH menu. Beware.

Enjoyed a wonderful and tasty dinner at Le Petit Greek. Service was attentive and spot on.
Our dinner consisted of Saganaki, salad, slow roasted lamb shank, fish kebob, grilled octopus

Everything was wonderful!!! Great service! Amazing Lamb Santorini and the absolute best hummus and tarama in the WORLD!!!

Amazing, but pricey, greek food over at Le Petit Greek is just as delicious as I remembered.
I came in while working mid-​week and grabbed a table inside (lovely outside seating for people watching) after being greeted by the nice concierge. I had loved this place back when I live in LA during grad school on special occasions. Their small dining room has art on the walls and other minimalist décor. I remember light music in the air as well. Service can be a bit slow, but the dishes are worth the wait.
I started with the gigantes, a large lima bean stewed in tomato and dill. It was so rich and luscious that it could have been a meal on its own. I proceeded with the chicken souvlaki, which was very well seasoned and came with salad, rice and veggies. I really can’t emphasize how good the food is here, I remember the most wonderful lamb shank in a thick tomato sauce that knocked my socks off with yum. Good portion sizes as well. Only complaint here is the price, so it is a special occasion restaurant for me.
Make Le Petit Greek a destination for your next fine dining outing with a bomb Mediterranean focus.

Pros:
+ Great staff and service. Manager took care of us from start to finish.
+ Came for lunch on Sunday and sat outside, with a pretty view of the Larchmont traffic and passerby.
+ Friend and I started with a glass of the recommended Sauvignon Blanc. It was lovely. Ordered the braised lamb, the day’s special, and it was delicious. Finished with the chocolate mousse for dessert.
+ Plenty of seating available, even on a Sunday. Everywhere else seemed to feel chaotic and crowded, but the vibe here was casual and elegant.
+ Décor inside is simple and romantic, especially during the evening hour. It’s a good date spot, if you need one of those.
+ Park around back in the neighborhood and enjoy the walk over.
Cons:
— None.

We had a lovely time at this place conveniently located in Larchmont Village. We sat outside and enjoyed people watching. The service was great. The main hostess/​waitress was very friendly and nice.
We started with the sampler with unlimited pita bread and six different sauces (approx. 16 bucks). YUMMY! The pita bread is so good and my favorites was the hummus, eggplant stuff, feta stuff. One of them was also whipped caviar which was good until I realized what it was haha.
I had the vegetarian plate which I think was delicious but could have been a bigger portion for how much it was (14 bucks). My friends all got gyros which they loved. Should definitely come back and check out the hummus and pita at least. This is a pricey place but in a pricey area. Parking is metered on the street.

Last night in Hollywood was spent here. A friend recommended Greek food and I was in! I never know what the heck I am ordering which is kind of scary but it always works out. This trip was no different. We arrived around 7 and got a seat right out front. It was a cool place with the cars driving up and down the lane. I saw a few things on the menu that sounded good. The waiter mentioned a special that was a huge plate with all kinds of different items on it. Perfect! I can try a bunch of different things and skip the ones I don’t like.
I ordered a Greek beer and waited for the food to arrive. The Greek beer was ok, but nothing exciting. The food arrived and holy cow my plate was huge!!! We had also ordered some calamari and a lamb sausage both of which were very good. I have no idea what I ate really but it was all excellent and there was so much food I couldn’t finish it.
We wrapped up and grabbed the check and ended the night. I would come back here for sure in the future.

This place is solid, always have a pretty good meal here. Nothing mind blowing, and I’ve definitely had better Greek food elsewhere, but overall good for a casual lunch. Their outside area is nice to sit when the weather is good.
Their portions are HUGE, so definitely can share a mix of plates. Sakanaki is always a crowd pleaser because they light it on fire at the table, but it’s really really salty. Eat with lots of pita. Salads were fresh, tasty hummus and tzaziki dips. Lamb, moussaka and chicken dishes were all well received. Famous lemon potatoes were okay — a bit salty.
Service is usually pretty good as well. Very attentive. It’s strange though because the only real server is that main Greek woman. All the other people seem to be busboys or helpers. Maybe just a coincidence when I happen to go there.

Came here for lunch with a few co-​workers and I was delighted with the ambiance and size of the lunch plates.
It was a nice day so we sat along the sidewalk where we could get some fresh air. For appetizers, we got an order of hummus and the pita bread that came with it came out nice and hot. Oh, and there’s unlimited pita bread so don’t feel the need to save as much bread for the hummus as possible.
I ordered the Gyro Me Kreas, which is lamb and beef ($ 14). It was accompanied by a good sized salad and boy was it tasty! I was a big fan of the tzatziki sauce and thick pita bread. I would definitely come back and order this again. Definitely filled me up.
The service was a tad slow and we had to wait around to order and receive the check… probably because they were pretty crowded & busy.

I can’t think of a much nicer way to spend the evening than sipping Greek wine and nibbling on hummus and warm pita bread on the patio at Le Petit Greek. This is a lovely place to take family or friends. Service is great and the food is good.
All the small plates, cheeses and spreads, are delicious. The hummus is divine, so is the Taramosalata (whipped caviar spread). The little spinach-​filo pies called «Spanakopita» are excellent. The grilled calamari salad is the best I’ve ever had. It’s not too chewy and really well seasoned. All these little dishes are on the left side of the menu, and even when we go in a large group we order these instead of entrees and share. It’s really a fun way to dine, especially with chilled Greek wine!
I don’t usually order any of the main dishes. First of all the portions are HUGE. You could easily split a plate with a friend. I’ve tried a number of items on the menu but I always go back to the appetizers because they’re so good.
Deserts are good too. The balklava is really tasty. Be sure to ask about the ice cream. Last night we had the cinnamon and it was perfect.
Service is alway friendly and warm. We used to take my daughter here when she was a toddler because the waiters were always so nice with her. She’s a teenager now, but I still appreciate how nice everyone was when she was little.
So sit outside and order some hummus! You won’t be disappointed.

The girls and I really wanted to grab lunch at the bungalow but the wait was longer than our famished bellies could handle so we opted for Le Petit Greek instead. We probably would have opted for elsewhere but parking was difficult enough and we were all in our Sunday’s best (cute outfits, painful shoes, you know the pretty kind).
We should have already known though when there was no wait at Le Petit on a Sunday afternoon peaking at about lunch time.
Our hostess/​server was somewhat abrupt rude all throughout our meal. I motioned for her to come by a few times, and she definitely saw me, although proceeded in the opposite direction. Weird.
Anyway, we started our meal with a bottle of wine and their everything appetizer platter. This was a good size plate with a smörgåsbord of greek treats including keftedes, hummus, stuffed grape leaves and some other pastes that were interestingly good. Those were served with toasted pita.
I ordered a plate which included moussaka, chicken, spanakopita, salad, hummus and I think rice as well. The other girls got themselves lamb and/​or chicken gyros.
I was excited to see my plate since it had so many different options on it. I tried each item individually and sadly was disappointed. There was nothing on it I had finished, well, maybe the hummus. The salad that accompanied my meal was wilted and unappetizing. I believe the girls had the same feeling about their meals since no one finished their orders.
Unfortunately, Le Petit Greek was a miss for us. I imagine next time around, we’ll make sure to wait the hour for Bungalow.
