We stopped on our way home from a roadtrip and we were hungry. What a wonderful surprise! Residing in a strip mall, you are taken to a another world when you walk in. We felt like we dining in a small Greek village next to the Ionian Sea. The dining room is cozy and comfortable. Our server, Kostas, made sure we felt welcome and made our meal even more special. My wife enjoyed the Kotopoulo Fileto, which is a perfectly grilled chicken breast on a bed of Greek-style braised green beans and accompanied oven-roasted lemon potatoes. I ordered the vegetarian platter which came with Imam Baildi (baby eggplant), Gigantes (large white beans), Spanakopita and Patzaria & Pistachio Skordalia (baked beets with pistachios). Our meal was simply amazing. If you are looking for a wonderful Greek meal, this is the place for you. We will being heading back to try even more dishes on their very large menu! read more

I had wanted to try Our Mom Eugenia for a while, and now I wonder why I waited so long. Its tucked in the corner of the Great Falls strip mall, but inside feels like a classic Greek restaurant. We were warmly greeted immediately by the gentleman playing traditional Greek music by the entry. Our server for the meal was excellent as well. The Tyrokeftedes were a special for the night and a great appetizer. The Moussaka was one of the best I have ever had. It was a memorable meal and a great evening. read more

Wonderful Mediterranean food. Delicious Dolmades. Every dish is awesome. Great and personal service. read more

The best thing about this restaurant was the service, which was phenomenal--very personal and helpful. We had the dip trio, the Greek salad, fried calamari, and zucchini fritter balls. They were all very good, and I think the most unique aspect was the creamy potato dip that was served with the calamari, which I loved. Not totally remarkable overall, I think it's about on par with other Greek restaurants in the DC area. I would totally come back here the next time I'm craving Greek food though. read more

Wow. I've heard so much about this place and so glad I finally made it here. Just wow! Starting with the freshly made bread, then their pita and hummus was simply fantastic. Then I had a couple of appetizers - meatballs and chicken souvlaki. Finally had the pasticchio daily special. It was by far THE BEST PASTICCHIO I'VE EVER HAD!! I could eat buckets of that. So amazing. Food was delicious and service was good. Super duper highly recommend this place. read more

Here's my review: Very sweet and cozy place. The manager was so kind "Christopher" he let me preset table for my anniversary hours early. In a cute corner stripmall located near Great Falls this place has some of the best food & service in the area. Big dinning experience in small place. The table setting is clean, signature drinks were awesome & then the bread & appetizers are delicious. Also tried meat appetizers Lamb chops and loved it along with Beet salad. 3dip tray was lovely. We got the Brazino & they were kind to split the plate for us. Finished everything on the table. Pictures are of our food. You cant go wrong at this place. Thank to the staff & Chris especially! read more

Please do not clatter silverware behind me when I'm eating dinner. Staff needs training. The waiter station to wrap silverware needs to be away from eating guests. Even after being told they were too loud and obnoxious they just continued. Can't do this again. Dry meatballs. Dry chicken. Only the beginning for complaints on a $200 meal read more

I've only ever done uber eats from this restaurant and they always take a long time. Other than that, their food is amazing especially the halloumi and the octopus! read more

This was outstanding, great food! A friend steered us to this restaurant, and it actually is pretty hard to find. It's Tucktaway in a strip mall, and even once you park, it's hard to find the entrance. But it's worth searching out, because the food is very very good. We had two appetizers end one was a zucchini fritters, which was excellent. The second was the flaming cheese. The cheese itself was good, but it was the act of setting it on fire and that was super cool. While all the entrées were good, I would say the lamb was outstanding. Order anything with lamb! read more

Went to dinner with my wife on a Friday night. We made reservations for two. The parking lot can be tricky, so give yourself time to find a good spot. The restaurant was busy but not overcrowded. The hostess and server were polite and helpful. The mixed drinks we ordered were tasteful. For food, we ordered several appetizers and one entree. It was just the right amount of food for two people to finish. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The restaurant was clean. The bathrooms were spotless. It was an excellent dinner at a fair price. We are looking forward to going back with some friends or family. read more

My son took me for early lunch to this Restaurant while I was visiting. It was delicious. The ambiance is very much a good place to be able to talk and enjoy good food. I get the feeling is a family owned restaurant where they are committed to give good service. Our waiter was exceptionally nice. My son often comes to take out food, he said their salmon dish is very good read more

Not blown away by the food. - The vegetarian platter wasn't great, nothing really stood out. The spanakopita was room temp, like it was frozen and heated up a while ago. - The branzino was great with a crispy skin. However the side vegetables were literally boiled large chunks of cauliflower and carrots. It felt like a cruise ship meal for $44 bucks. - fava spread was really bland. read more

High quality food and excellent service. You can't get better than this! We love sitting at the bar and chat with other guests or sit down at a table for a larger gathering. Get feta and tomatoes as a starter and the whole fish for the main. Enjoy! read more

Been here three times - what a gem of a find! They do some great cocktails and the food is fantastic. You can't go wrong!

Loved the ambiance- and the food! The most amazing flavor- filled Moussaka and spanakopita! Loved the variety of dishes offered and the service was top notch! read more

It's been about a year since we were here last. I'm so glad we stopped here this evening. Their Branzino was skinned and deboned by the waiter last time. This time, it was already boneless, and the skin was so crispy it was the best I've ever had. The dolmades appetizer and pastichio were also excellent. All paired with the house Retzina makes for a great meal. read more

Amazing food absolutely will be making this one of our go tos. Can't wait to try the dessert next time we're back.

Simply the absolute WORST Greek cuisine I have ever eaten!! I ordered through Uber Eats from this restaurant for the very first time and it will most definitely be the LAST TIME since every single item I ordered was just PLAIN AWFUL!!!! This restaurant is a very sad excuse for a Greek restaurant and should be ashamed to be calling themselves a Greek restaurant! I mean, how do you cook chicken kabobs to the point of dryness that matches the dryness of the Saharan Desert??? How do you make beef and lamb meatballs FULL of disgusting gristle and overcook them at the same time to the point they are chewy meatballs?!??! And then they advertise that their beets are "slowly baked to preserve the flavors and nutrients of this natural energy booster" but then they come PICKLED AND LOADED WITH SUGAR!!!! Last, but not least, there's the sautéed spinach... the ever so boring sautéed spinach. Coming from an "authentic" Greek restaurant, one would think they could at least add SOME flavor to it, yet it had ZERO flavor!!!! I had to add lemon and salt...what a shame, a true shame!!! The food "looked" pretty, but it all tasted TERRIBLE!! Again, I will NEVER EVER ORDER ANOTHER THING from this establishment EVER AGAIN!!!! read more

My boyfriend and I have been eager to try Our Mom Eugenia! A few weeks ago we attempted to get a table (without reservation) at their Mosaic location, but it didn't end up working out. When we noticed that they had a secondary location in Great Falls, we decided to give it another try. The food was very authentic and the portion sizes were great. Since it was our date night, we decided to order two appetizers and drinks. There was plenty of pita bread and eggplant dip for two people. My personal favorite appetizer we ordered would have to be the grape leaves though! Something we didn't know before coming here is that they serve you fresh bread. We were stuffed from all the food we ordered and all that bread! Since our first dining experience here was splendid, I'm sure we'll be back soon. Cheers! read more

Loved the atmosphere, food was fantastic. I loved the laid-back ease where server was attentive but gave us girls some space to catch up first over a nice cup of coffee. Beets, cheese, everything was fantastic. read more

Great food and ambience. The price is a bit high compared to other Greek restaurants with similar menu. If owners are not in a good mode we don't get the proper greetings. read more

While the food may be good, the ownership has made multiple commitments to local non-profits and received recognition via signage and marketing; HOWEVER, they have never followed through on the committed donations. Even after being asked multiple times, they do not stand by their word, and worse - they are incredibly rude about it (I.e. get the **** out of my restaurant) when confronted. Maybe once you find your moral ground I will go back to your establishment. read more

First time trying this chain. Service good, food tasty. Didn't kick us out right away, so tipped well. Seating not the most comfortable bc the room seats are tight. Makes talking a bit hard bc loud. Otherwise highly recommend the lamb and moussaka. read more

We found this place while looking for a spot to grab some lunch on our road trip. It is located in the corner of a small strip mall. We went at 12:30p on a Wednesday and there was no one else eating then. Another table was sat shortly after we arrived and we were the only 2 tables during our entire stay. Our waitress was super nice and friendly and loved talking to us about Greece and Mediterranean cuisine. The food came out pretty quick and the service was good. Their baklava was the best ever tasted! My only complaint is the price. We were eating at lunch time and the pricing (imo) was more for the dinner menu. I was told that the chicken kabob was the lunch special. To me a special is traditionally cheaper or at a discount. When the bill came, it was $28!!!! I complained and it was reduced to $20. The other two meals were $16 each.....for lunch! Our bill for 3 meals, 2 desserts and one soda was $85. If we'd known it would cost that much, we would not have eaten there. However, the food was really good and the service was great. read more

I'm going to sound stupid but of all of the dishes I have tried here, my favorite may have to be the lamb burger. If you remember the former Ray's Hell Burger in Arlington when he used to ground up the steaks from his other place (Ray's the Steaks), it's a similar concept. And the results are outstanding. All the food here is fantastic and I have always had great service. read more

Cute neighbours Greek restaurant. We had the mixed platter, the lamb chops was tiny, dry and lacked in flavour. The Sagansko was mediocre. Disappointing & over priced. read more

Came here for my Birthday, and was not disappointed. I recently returned from living in Athens Greece for two years, so my expectations were high. It is hard for any US restaurant to live up to the amazing food I ate daily throughout Greece, but Our Mom Eugenia comes closer than anyone else. They are certainly limited by US produce, but they do an excellent job with both traditional dishes and more modern versions. They have a decent selection of Greek wines as well. I'll also say that the Portokalopita here is better than any I had in Greece (but keep that between you and me ) The service is fast, friendly, and professional. The location is in a shopping center, so nothing super fancy, but they do a nice job of creating an intimate atmosphere. Price is on par with what you'd expect. Definitely stop by if you are craving delicious Greek food. read more

I dined in yesterday and the whole dining experience was destroyed by the manager or the maybe she was the owner I don't know. The war she speaks to her employees and treats them is absolutely unacceptable and intolerant behavior. Never coming back to this place and it totally disgusts me. I myself will just likely contact the VOSH. She has no right accusing her employees of stealing just because they bring in their work bags read more

I've had my fair share of Greek food (peep the last name folks...X is for Xenos) and no Greek restaurant compares to Our Mom Eugenia! My family and I go there a handful of times a year, & every time has me wanting more! First, the service is always so kind and authentic. We've never had a problem here! The food comes quickly, the waiters are all so nice, and then the food blows your mind and tastebuds. My favorite entrée at Our Mom Eugenia, is their Moussaka. Now, I will say it's more of an acquired taste, because I know not all are fans of eggplant, but man oh man if you are a fan, you'll be beyond satisfied. The lamb is also fantastic here...not surprising though..."that's okay I make lamb" iykyk. My favorite appetizer is their Spanakopita and let me tell ya it's really easy to mess up, but they know how to make it right. They have the perfect ratio of feta and spinach, and they drain the spinach properly so it's not soggy. Ugh, I am drooling thinking about them right now. The menu doesn't stop there. Even their dessert menu is to die for. My favorite is their Nutella Loukoumades. The portion size is big too, so you always get to go home with some left over dessert...if you can control yourself. Overall, if you've never eaten Greek food, you better go here first or you're doing it wrong. If you already love Greek food...well you'll love it even more after coming here! If I could give it over 5 stars I would! read more

+ the best spanakopita I've ever had! Everything about this appetizer was absolutely fantastic. + live solo musician Friday evening read more

The name of the restaurant suggested home food and cosy atmosphere.The design is a little cold and impersonal,I would say sophisticated bistro style,so this is a little dissonance with the name. Food was great,I can't say a single word to criticize the dishes. Octopus is really difficult to cook and they did a great job by creating flavorful and juicy inside,but charred outside dish. Imam Baildi is a stuffed eggplant with tomatoes,onions and spices originated from Turkey,but this was amazing recipe,with raisins,pine nuts and mint. Yummy!!! Everyone around the table was happy with the food. All in all this is great Greek bistro,without soul of Greek tavern and with a little small portions for Greek hearty food,but all flavors are top notch. read more

I stopped by for a solo lunch today and was very pleased. They have a plethora of hot tea options; to quote my server, "More than Starbucks!" My appetizer was the feta and olives-and it was delicious. My entree took awhile to get to the table, but no big deal, I had a book with me. It was my first time eating authentic Greek food and I was excited at how flavorful everything was. I had ordered the vegetarian entree platter because I thought so many of the appetizers sounded good; I'm glad I did, because they were all great. The imam baildi was my least favorite, but even that was still tasty. I almost ordered a separate appetizer of the spanakopita because it was so good. The restaurant was decorated nicely for the season and it gives the impression that its regulars are treated like family. read more

This is a gem whether you go for lunch or dinner. Relaxed, friendly, "foodie" atmosphere with attentive service. Food is delicious across the menu, well-prepared and beautifully presented. Fresh ingredients and generous portions. We visit from Seattle and their sautéed salmon may be the best I've eaten. Top recommendation - read more

Amazing, family-owned Greek spot. The service was excellent and easily accommodated several groups celebrating special occasions. Everything was delicious on the menu, but we really loved the dip trio with pita and the branzino. If you're a sweets fan then hands-down the orange honey cake is the best. Connoisseurs of Greek wine will also appreciate the beautiful wine list picks, particularly the assyrtiko. Make a reservation if you can as this place is popular and fills up quickly for dinner service. read more

Our Mom Eugenia - Great Falls - Get the portokalopita! - Greek Near Me - Great Falls, Virginia

**** 4 1/2 stars **** -------------------------- For the longest time, I wanted to try this restaurant and finally we got there! We made a reservation for 5:15 p.m. on a Saturday. Even though we got there 10 minutes early, we were seated promptly. There was one thing that bothered us. The dining area is small yet, instead of spreading out the few tables that were occupied, they seated everybody in one area. That made for an unnecessarily cramped dining experience. Service was great. At least two of the servers were Eugenia's sons. I figured as much but knew for certain when I asked one if their phyllo dough was made from scratch. He told us his mom makes it fresh everyday (and it shows!). I had a glass of water while my husband tried a Greek Pilsner called Hella, which he liked. We each had a bowl of avgolemono soup --- and we both agreed that it was the best avgolemono that we've had in NoVA! This is a thick and hearty soup and the flavor of lemon came through clearly. I just about had tears of joy in my eyes. Far too many times, we've ordered it elsewhere and there wasn't a hint of lemon. In fact, some years back, we tried it at a restaurant in Alexandria that shall remain nameless. What we got tasted like ordinary chicken soup. My Dad, who was with us, asked the owner why there was no lemon. To this day, I can't believe the owner said this --- too many customers complained about the lemon in the soup! Okay---but the response shouldn't have been to dumb down the cuisine. But I digress... For the rest of the meal, we did something unusual. We ordered 3 different appetizers because we wanted to sample some items without having to order a main course. We had spanakopita, which I tried with some trepidation because, much to the chagrin of my Albanian relatives, I don't like feta. My worries were needless as there was very little feta in it. There is nothing like fresh made phyllo dough---the flavor and the texture are far better than the boxed stuff. You'll just have to try it to see for yourself :) Next, we tried the "grilled octopus" which consists of one large piece with olive oil, lemon, oregano and parsley. While the octopus was meaty and tender, the seasoning was lacking. However, the olive oil did help to add some moisture. Finally, we tried "keftedakia" which are basically Greek meatballs. We enjoyed this appetizer. The ground beef was moist and flavorful, seasoned with onions, garlic, oregano, parsley and mint. The mint asserted that, indeed, we were having a bonafide Greek kefta. We ended our meal with baklava. Honestly, this was the best restaurant baklava we've ever had. I'm picky about baklava, having grown up eating some that was fresh from the oven. When baklava sits too long, the phyllo gets tough. Fortunately, this was not the case here. It was fresh. The phyllo was tender. The filling was tasty and honey was drizzled over it and on the side. The sweetness was just right. We think this restaurant is head and shoulders above other Greek restaurants we've tried in the area. We stopped short of going full 5 stars for two reasons: 1) the octopus could have used more flavoring and; 2) we would like to try some other dishes to see how well they are done. So, yes, we will be back for more! Before the tip, dinner came to $83 + change. It is possible to eat more cheaply if you go at lunch time or order some cheaper items on the dinner menu. read more
