Coming Back Soon

Due to extensive water damage, The Fat Greek on Park and University, 994 E. University Blvd.) will be closed until further notice for repair and remodeling. Please bear with us during this difficult time and support our other location: Fat Greek 2: Greek Taverna, located at 3225 N. Swan Rd. in the Basha's Shopping Center.

About The Fat Greek: The original Fat Greek opened its doors in March of 2003. A local, family owned and operated restaurant, The Fat Greek was the
long time dream of George Markou, the owner. With the help of his wife Traci, George set out to serve up a taste of Greece to Tucson, featuring traditional Greek dishes from his parents' home country, at affordable prices. The Fat Greek is located at Park and University, serving the University of Arizona students, staff and surrounding neighborhood.


Both locations feature hand-painted murals on the patio, created by George's wife. Games for family and friends like dominoes, chess, backgammon and others are available for patrons who want to stay a while. A variety of
Greek beer and wine is also available.Our second location, Greek Taverna on Swan opened its doors June of 2009 at the corner of Swan and Camp Lowell, in the Basha's shopping center. This second location is larger, allowing us to offer catering, the ability to host your event, and full service dining.
