Best Greek Restaurants in Dubai for Meze, Grills and Seafood

Checked: 8 October 2026

In Dubai, a Greek meal can be a spinach pie eaten between errands, meze by the Madinat waterways, charcoal-grilled lamb in JLT or a seafood lunch at Atlantis. These seven places serve different versions of that choice. Prices below keep their real basis visible: a delivery listing, a weekday set menu, a measured grill or a seasonal prix fixe. Start with Kilikio for Greek bakery-style bites, Taverna for a classic waterfront taverna, or Milos and GAIA when the meal is the main event.

At a glance

Seven Greek meals, each with a different rhythm

Kilikio by Mythos — Greek breakfast and bakery bites at the mall

Kilikio is the quick, daytime choice: a canteen-style Greek counter at Nakheel Mall, rather than a sit-down taverna dinner. The operator frames it around Greek street food and everyday staples; the menu carries breakfast, pies, koulouri, wraps, bowls and grilled items. On the Palm Deliveroo menu, a two-egg Greek breakfast is AED51, koulouri is AED10, spinach pie AED34 and a chicken souvlaki wrap AED38. These are outlet-specific delivery prices, useful for comparing small meals and snacks; they are not a promise of the same counter price at another branch. The menu also lists 750g loaves of bread, which makes this a practical stop for taking a bit of the bakery home. See the Kilikio menu and Palm ordering page.

Eat Greek Kouzina — go to JBR for Greek food beside the beach

Eat Greek has a broad menu of dips, salads, seafood, souvlaki, moussaka, kleftiko and children’s dishes. The JBR branch is the one to choose when you want the meal to stay part of a beachfront day. The operator lists three Dubai locations, so keep the price and service route tied to the selected outlet. At the current JBR Deliveroo menu, a Greek salad is AED65, chicken pita AED75, moussaka AED135 and kleftiko lamb shank AED185. Those figures are delivery-menu prices, not a direct dine-in quotation. The same menu names a 500g lamb-chop portion at AED188 and a 600g whole seabream at AED175; the listing does not state how many guests those weights serve. Find current branches and booking details on the operator’s location page and check the JBR menu for live availability.

Taverna Greek Kitchen — a classic meal on the Souk Madinat waterfront

Taverna’s own description is unusually specific about its sourcing: fish, tomatoes, olive oil, lemons and even water come from regions across Greece. At the Souk Madinat waterfront, its menu leans into the familiar grammar of a Greek taverna—cold dips, salads, wood-fired grills, seafood and home-style dishes. The current Souk Madinat Deliveroo menu lists slow-cooked octopus at AED89 and paidakia, Greek-style lamb chops, at AED195 for 500g. That weight makes the lamb a substantial grill order; the listing does not say it serves two, so decide by the actual weight rather than an assumed party size. The marketplace price applies to that outlet and channel. Taverna’s operator menu and booking route are useful for the dine-in visit; its Souk Madinat listing confirms the waterfront location.

Mythos Kouzina & Grill — JLT for the long, shared Greek dinner

At Cluster P, Mythos Kouzina & Grill is a modern taverna for a Greek grill-and-meze dinner. Its JLT branch page confirms the traditional menu and location, while the reservation policy sets a different expectation for large groups: parties of 10 or more are offered a mandatory sharing menu. Ask for the current menu and price before booking a group. The operator also runs Mythos Urban Greek Eatery at City Walk; its menu should not be assumed to be the JLT menu. Use the official JLT branch page and reservation policy for location and group terms.

Avli by tashas — Athenian flavours with a weekday DIFC lunch

Avli’s DIFC flagship is the polished, central-city option. Its operator describes a contemporary Athenian setting and says many ingredients come directly from suppliers in Greece; the menu pairs meze and Greek staples with seafood and charcoal-grilled dishes. The business lunch is a clear way to try that kitchen without ordering a full à la carte spread: AED139 per person, Monday to Friday, noon to 3pm, with one meze and one main. The menu lists choices such as grilled seabream, chicken souvlaki and moussaka; dessert and drinks are not part of the stated two-course offer. The operator’s current Saturday Med Set is a separate brunch-style package, priced AED365 non-alcoholic, AED465 house or AED665 premium, 12:30–4:30pm. Choose the lunch for a workday meal, or compare package inclusions before booking Saturday. See the live Dubai page and offers and menu.

GAIA — choose a set menu or build a higher-end seafood meal

GAIA describes its Dubai cooking as Greek-Mediterranean, and its menu gives you two useful ways to set a budget. The seasonal lunch is AED130 per person for one starter and one main, or one main and one dessert, with a bottle of water included. The seasonal dinner is AED260 per person for starter, main and dessert, also with water. Both menus were still labelled “Summer” on the operator’s live page at the check date, so confirm they remain available for your booking. À la carte gives a different kind of meal: moussaka is AED79, grilled octopus AED160 and 350g lamb cutlets AED309; whole fish is sold by market price per kilo. The menu says AED prices are subject to a 7% DIFC authority fee. This is the choice for a more formal DIFC meal where you want either a fixed menu or an ingredient-led seafood order. Check current menus and location/reservations.

Estiatorio Milos — seafood market and a weekday three-course lunch

Milos sits inside Atlantis The Royal and makes seafood the centre of the visit: the restaurant’s current menu describes Mediterranean catch, and whole fish is priced by market rather than as a fixed plate. Ask for the fish’s price per kilo, approximate weight and whether any cooking or preparation charge applies, so the market display translates into a clear bill. If you want a fixed price, an operator-hosted weekday business-lunch menu lists three courses at AED200 per person, Monday to Friday; its price note includes 7% municipality fee, 10% service charge and 5% VAT. Atlantis’s current gift-voucher page also lists the Milos business lunch from AED200. Confirm the menu and availability at booking. Milos is open for lunch and dinner at Atlantis The Royal; use the Dubai location page for reservations.

Which Greek table fits your plan?

- A fast snack or Greek breakfast: Kilikio has bakery staples, wraps and a two-egg breakfast at a Palm delivery-menu price.

- A beachside family meal: Eat Greek’s JBR branch puts salads, grills and children’s options near The Beach; compare its branch-specific ordering menu.

- A waterfront taverna: Taverna gives you Greek-sourced staples, charcoal grilling and a Souk Madinat setting.

- A JLT sharing dinner: Mythos requires a sharing menu for parties of ten or more; ask for that menu and price before booking.

- A DIFC lunch: Avli’s weekday AED139 menu gives one meze and one main; GAIA’s seasonal AED130 lunch has a different course structure and adds water.

- A seafood-led celebration: GAIA and Milos both publish fixed-price ways in. For whole fish at either restaurant, ask the current market rate and whether any preparation charge applies.

Are these menu prices directly comparable?

No: the examples include named à la carte dishes, third-party delivery listings, per-person set lunches and seasonal menus. The article states each basis beside the amount. Check the chosen branch and booking channel for the current dine-in price and any additional fees.

Selection note: Seven active venues were kept because each has a current Dubai menu or booking route and adds a distinct meal format or decision. The list moves from Greek bakery fare and casual grill meals to waterfront tavernas, DIFC set menus and resort seafood. It does not claim a personal visit or a universal ranking score.
