Top Greek Restaurants to Try in Anchorage, AK

Finding great Greek food in Alaska is its own small adventure, but Anchorage delivers it in a few places that have earned genuine loyalty from a community that appreciates what it takes to maintain quality at the edge of the continent. Meraki Afrah has earned a dedicated following through a story of resilience that spans Eagle River, the pandemic, a shared space on Boniface, and a return to its own home on the south side. Antonio's on Minnesota Drive is run by an owner from Tarpon Springs who speaks Greek and whose baklava earns the best I have ever had praise from visitors. These are in no particular order.

Meraki Afrah

The top-ranked dedicated Greek restaurant in Anchorage across every current platform and the subject of an Anchorage Daily News dining review that called it one of the critic's favorite new spots in the city, Meraki Afrah on Old Seward Highway is a family-owned Greek operation with a story of resilience that devoted fans describe with genuine emotion — starting in Eagle River where it quickly became a daily destination, closing during the pandemic, pivoting to DoorDash delivery, sharing a space on Boniface, and eventually reopening in its own home on the south side again. The menu is a roundup of Greek cuisine's greatest hits best sampled in the mixed grill platter, the grilled octopus is excellent, the chicken souvlaki is outstanding, the spanakopita, moussaka, and pastitsio are all well-executed, and it is all about those tender savory long-marinated meats according to the Anchorage Daily News critic whose daughter gave her the best line about the crusty caramelized character of the meats being the best bite.
