Now you don’t have to be Greek to own a Greek restaurant!

When most people think of Greek restaurants they have images of a lavish atmosphere hosted by an owner with a heavy accent and a little attitude mixed in. As a result Greek restaurants have traditionally served a niche clientele that knows and loves Greek food, while the vast majority of the population has not experienced the wonder of Greek dining.

My Little Greek is taking Greek food to local neighborhoods with a whole new fast casual restaurant featuring a blend of classic Greek items and conventional American influenced items, offering something for everyone. With our simplified operations and systems to follow, our franchisees can serve classic Greek dishes.
