Mad Greek Deli | Our Story

Portland's Greek Deli Since 1977

Mad Greek Deli has been serving real Greek food from scratch since 1977 — neighborhood roots, a full bar, and over a million meals served.

Kosmas opened Mad Greek Deli nearly five decades ago with a simple idea: serve honest, generous Greek food to your neighbors. That humble deli became a local legend — including a 10-pound sandwich challenge people still talk about.
The Real Thing, Made Here

The Real Thing, Made Here

Bread baked on-site every day, homemade sauces, feta crumbled fresh — nothing comes off an assembly line. Eater Portland recognized us as a destination for serious Greek food, and our regulars have known that for years.
More Than a Meal

More Than a Meal

We're a full bar, a Timbers watch party HQ, and the home of Trivia Tuesdays, Wing Wednesdays, and Tequila Thursdays. Grab a pint, order wings with hot honey and feta, and stay awhile.
Two Locations, One Family

Two Locations, One Family

Our East Burnside tavern brings the energy in Portland's Buckman neighborhood. The Hillsboro patio — fire pits, string lights, lawn games, live music — gives the whole family a reason to stay. Over one million meals served between both locations.
