This just might be my new favorite Greek Restaurant in the valley!

I am currently pregnant and was craving Greek food and my husband and I decided to give this new restaurant a try. We stopped by for a late lunch on April 6, I believed they had just opened over the weekend. Our server was welcoming, and helped answer all of our questions. We ordered the following items, which was plenty for two people to share.

- Mykonos Signature Meze Platter - my favorite was the Muhammara - Gyro Plate - Cherry Milk Pudding - do not miss out on this!!!

Everything we had was simply amaaaazing! And I was delightfully surprised by their homemade lemonade and dessert, not too sweet, just perfect and somewhat refreshing! A unique and perfect balance. We look forward to stopping by again and trying some of their other dishes.

All I have to say is, whoa and delicious! We were shopping at REI and decided to grab lunch. We found Mykonos by accident. Being from Palm Springs, we don’t make our way to this part of the valley often but I would definitely make the drive for Mykonos.

The restaurant was clean, bright, welcoming, and it sort of made me feel like I was sitting somewhere on the coast of Greece having lunch. The music was also perfect, definitely my type of ambiance.

We were greeted and served quickly. We started off with the Muhammara’s, which I’m obsessed. Everything about this starter was so tasty and fresh. We then ordered the gyro sandwich plates, 10/10!

Lastly, the dessert…the cherry milk pudding topped with a sweet and tangy sour cherry sauce; I’d never had it but it was a recommendation from our server. I’m not exaggerating it was one of the most delicious treats I’ve ever had.

This place deserved a proper review because it hit all the spots. Can’t wait to go back. Mykonos is recommended without question.

Got to experience this wonderful gem in Rancho Mirage! The atmosphere was very homey and welcoming. The food was delicious - we got a spanakopita, gyro plates, and lamb kebab. The menu is also very descriptive, which is useful if you're unfamiliar with Greek food. The portions are generous and service extremely friendly. Would recommend if you're in the mood for Greek food!

The best hummus I've ever had - and I've eaten a lot of hummus! The rest of the food was just as delicious, and plated beautifully. The service was very attentive and the owner is lovely. We ate here on a whim while on vacation, and I'm genuinely sad we don't live nearby so we can eat here all the time!

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I genuinely would. We were a party of 4 and every single person ordered something completely different — and somehow every dish came out absolutely perfect. From the appetizers to the sides to the desserts, everything was a straight 10/10. You can instantly tell this is not just another restaurant trying to serve Mediterranean food… this is real passion and authenticity.

We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Ali Murat, and he completely elevated the experience. The atmosphere was beautiful and relaxing — it genuinely felt like we were sitting at a seaside restaurant somewhere in Greece. Rancho Mirage/Palm Springs needed a place like this. We’ll absolutely be coming back again and again.

Congratulations to Mykonos restaurant’s opening! The mezze platter was an excellent way to try a good portion of all the dips - our favorite was muhammara with excellent fresh pita, more than we could finish. Spanakopita and gyro sandwich were very, very fresh with tender succulent meat. The rice pudding flavor is perfect and refreshing, not too sweet with a balanced brûlée top. The vanilla custard with strawberry was also excellent. Service is 10/10, so welcoming and attentive. The ambiance is bright, relaxed, and fun with good music. Can’t wait to return.

My mom and I were staying in Indio and were heading back to Arizona so we tried my favorite, Greek food. My ratings are for the food that I would crave if I came back, which was Salmon and the Roasted Lamb pieces with eggplant and chili yogurt. I love the flavor of lamb but always scared to get it because of texture. I decided to go for it and it was the best lamb I've ever had. It melted with every bite! So soft. I also enjoyed some of the appetizers, the spicy feta and the one with peppers and walnuts. The best experience for me, is that they don't use Canola Oil and so I can actually try anything! Will be back, thank you.

People who have craved more Greek restaurants will be trilled at the arrival of Mykonos. This restaurant had only been open for ten days when I went by to photograph the cuisine for our series Dining With The Davids. Everything I sampled was out of this world. The photos speak for themselves. Try this place for yourself. I think the most beautiful dish I filmed was the lamb shank.

Absolutely delicious food with a true homemade quality. Ambiance is very authentic and Greek. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and carefully prepared. The lamb shank was incredibly tender, the orzo was rich and comforting, and the shrimp cocktail tasted fresh and perfectly seasoned. Even the baklava was excellent--sweet, crisp, and authentic without being overly heavy.

What really made the experience stand out was the service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. You can tell they take pride in both their food and their customers. Mykonos is a great choice for anyone looking for authentic Greek Mediterranean food, generous portions, and warm hospitality. I'll definitely be coming back!

We came across Mykonos Modern Greek restaurant at The River in Rancho Mirage. It's a family business that opened a few weeks ago. I had the mahi mahi that came with a beautiful and fresh Greek salad. It also came with a medley of boiled potatoes. The salmon plate looked equally appetizing and was accompanied by a fresh green mixed salad, potatoes and asparagus. Everything was very fresh and well prepared. After the meal we were delighted to be served some fresh Persian tea and baklava. The prices are very reasonable and the service was exceptional. We will definitely be back.

Now for the food, the Calamari was so crispy and delicious, great serving size as well. The Chicken Kebab was honestly the best Kabob I have ever eaten. The seasonings were so on point. I will come back anytime I am in the Area!

Excellent Greek freshness and authenticity. The Spanokopita appetizer was crispy and delicious. My Gyro sandwich was good. Mom's Branzino was excellent. Just be forgiving of the growing pains this brand new business is experiencing. We have been disappointed by many local Greek restaurants lately, but Mykonos has true potential to succeed as long as they refuse the urge to cut corners on quality and quantity.
