Sneak peek: The Big Greek Cafe in Bethesda (Photos)

We have a burgeoning Greek cafe battle in downtown Bethesda. Thelo Greek Cafe has been delayed in opening at 8009 Norfolk Avenue, and now The Big Greek Cafe at 4806 Rugby Avenue is accelerating towards its own opening. Both have colorful, Greek-themed interiors.

But Big Greek Cafe isn't a new standalone concept like Thelo Greek Grill - the local chain already has outposts in Silver Spring, Rockville and North Bethesda. The new Bethesda location will also offer the popular $5 Gyro Wednesdays promotion Big Greek Cafe is perhaps best known for.
