Kentucky might not be the first place that comes to mind when it comes to amazing Greek food — or global cuisine, for that matter. But the Bluegrass State has lots of tricks up its culinary sleeve, from a small town that’s big on global cuisine to a college town that’s home to the best Greek restaurant in Kentucky, and, if we may be so bold, the entire country.
Would you believe this beautiful white church was home to the best Greek restaurant in Kentucky?

It’s true! Welcome to Anna’s Restaurant, a place where its unique location is just the start of the surprises to come. Anna’s is owned and operated by the Qehaja family, who spent five years renovating and transforming the former Victory Baptist Church into a wholly unique restaurant and event venue.

The menu features gourmet entrées featuring the flavors of the Mediterranean, with classic dishes like Greek salad, moussaka, spanakopita, and lamb providing a solid foundation for this delicious cuisine.

As for dessert, definitely save room. The baklava is impossibly flaky and Galaktoboureko is out-of-this-world delicious.

Of course, if you can’t dine in, you can always order your meal to go and enjoy an authentic Greek feast at home. But the ambiance at this restaurant truly is something you’ll want to experience.

Greek cuisine is criminally underrepresented in Kentucky (and the U.S.), meaning most people are missing out on a truly delicious, unique, and immensely flavorful fare.
