About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Vegetarian-friendly
Chef Eugenia Hobson and her team prepare authentic Greek dishes served attentively in a breezy Aegean-inspired atmosphere. Our signature dishes include the grilled octopus, the kolokithokeftedes (stuffed zucchini fritters), the lavraki whole fish (branzino) filleted table side, and the arni giouvetsi (lamb shank with orzo). Our selection of nine desserts are all made fresh daily in-house and feature Greek classics such as the baklava and the galaktoboureko. Our wine list is meticulously curated on a seasonal basis by son Philip Hobson selecting from Greece's top vineyards who produce indigenous varietals such as Assyrtiko & Xinomavro, and western grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon & Sauvignon Blanc. Our beer selection focuses on bottled Greek brews while our bar is fully stocked to serve both classic cocktails and signature drinks inspired by the best bars in Athens. Outdoor tables are available in the summer months.

    For this visit it seemed that the restaurant was short of staff, waiters were overworked; not the usual situation.

    We were in Greece for three weeks this fall and enjoyed great food there.Our Mom's menu iOS very similar if not identical to the greek menus. We love the octopus and seafood dishes at Our Mom's. Unfortunately there was no fried anchovies or Malagouzia wine at Our Mom's. But even some greek restaurants can't get the anchovies. We look forward to our next visit.
    Our Mom Eugenia - ShirlingtonResponded on 25 October 2026
    Thank you Gregory! We are glad you enjoyed the octopus and seafood dishes. We get some nice fresh sardines from time to time, but they're hard to come by. We appreciate the menu suggestions and look forward to welcoming you back!

    The food was overcooked. The pasticio noodles were waterlogged and the spanakopita was too crisp. Table service was slow and inconsistent.

    Thank you Barbara for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the food quality and service speed did not meet expectations. We will review this with our kitchen and team to ensure improvements!

    always enjoy the Greek food there. I was a little disappointed this time that there were only 2 lamb choices--the main reason I go there--lamb chops and lamb shank. The shank was perfectly tender but not as tasty with spices as I remember it. But I love the flaming Saganaki as usual. And the service is always good.
    Our Mom Eugenia - ShirlingtonResponded on 25 October 2026
    Thank you Robert! We are delighted you enjoyed the branzino, saganaki and desserts. We hope to hit the mark with the arni giouvetsi next time. See you soon!

    We were greeted graciously upon arriving, and seated promptly. The food was delicious, though the entree was brought out within minutes after the appetizer arrived. The noise level elevated tremendously as more guests arrived, making it somewhat challenging to engage in conversation. Unfortunately, our server was not 5⭐️… he never came by to see how we were enjoying our meal, and reluctantly returned my entree until I had finished my soup. Nor was he available when we were ready for our check. We were eventually able to get the attention of the hostess (gracious and delightful) to get it for us. I would definitely return, perhaps at a time when I could be seated outdoors.
    Our Mom Eugenia - ShirlingtonResponded on 25 October 2026
    Thank you Jane Mary! We are happy you enjoyed the food but apologize for the rushed pacing and slow service. We will address the issues you brought up with our service team. We appreciate your feedback and hope to provide a better experience on your next visit!

    Very good food and service. Constriction on street prevented outdoor dining. Prices were on the high side, but not outrageous.
    Our Mom Eugenia - ShirlingtonResponded on 24 October 2026
    Thank you Jill! We are glad you enjoyed the food and service. Street construction should wrap up in three weeks, according to the property manager - we can't wait to expand our patio! We appreciate your feedback on the pricing and hope to welcome you back soon!
