Stroll past 4806 Rugby Ave. in the Woodmont Triangle and you'll find The Big Greek Cafe - Bethesda. It replaces another Greek restaurant in the same location, and brings its approach to counter-order Mediterranean fare from its other Maryland locations. 

Expect to see grilled lamb chops, a spanakopita platter and crispy calamari on the menu. Every Wednesday, the eatery features $5 gyros.

Just blocks away you'll find another Greek spot in the Woodmont Triangle. Thelo Greek Grill, at 8009 Norfolk Ave., is located at the former site of Bistro LaZeez.

Umbrellas cover several tables out front, while images of Greece line the walls inside. There are many ways to consume grilled meats here, from gyros to souvlaki. Other favorites like moussaka, dolmathes and Greek salad are also on offer. Strained Greek yogurt with sour cherries is among a short list of desserts.
