True, it has little of the romance of the island of Mykonos, but can you get three lamb chops with potatoes, a Greek salad and pita for $10.99 in the Aegean?

If My Big Fat Greek Wedding had been based in Los Angeles, this restaurant would've co-starred. Pictures of Greece adorn white-washed walls; blue-and-white-checked tablecloths bedeck the tables. From the platters of food served to the large rooms, this restaurant was made for group dining. (Solo diners craving stuffed grape leaves find solace at the counter.) The pita bread is baked fresh so it's soft and pillowy (mmm...pillowy); don't miss out on a piece of homemade baklava. The "My Big Fat Greek Family-Style Dinner" on Thursday nights brings a bounty of plates, enough food for an entire family, for only for $18.95 per person. Opa! —Lesley Balla
