The Most Scrumptious Greek in San Jose

"Overall, it was a fantastic experience. The restaurant staff welcomed our large party warmly and even allowed us to order drinks before everyone had arrived. During the appetizer phase, we were treated to a delicious variety of both hot and cold appetizers. The pacing was spot-on, allowing us to sample everything without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.For the entrée, I had the Branzino with a side of pilaf rice, and it was absolutely amazing, the fish was cooked to perfection. For dessert, I ordered the baklava ice cream. While I wasn't a huge fan of it (the ratio of baklava to ice cream felt a bit off), it was still a sweet and enjoyable way to end the meal.Definitely a great restaurant, and I'll be sure to visit again when I'm in the area!"

"I've been coming here for months, since I started working in Cupertino. Love the food; always fresh and the flavors are on-point for traditional Greek dishes I've had in the past. I've tried many dishes, but my go to favorite is the classic Gyro sandwich with some extra tzatziki sauce in the side. The staff is always nice and they have a great outdoor area for lunch."

"Great food, fast service, good fit take out or dining in, this has become a regular spot for us. Love it! Could use some music or something, it tends to be a little quiet"

Agape Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 (560) • $$

"I wish I was closer to Agape Grill as I love their gyro plate. The only thing I didn't realize was now much garlic was in this plate and we all know....I'm garlic sensitive. But screw it! I popped a Pepsid and just suffered the consequences. And it was still delicious.Service is the same great service and we've never actually eaten in and always taken to-go.They have a tiny parking lot but it's okay we've never had issues finding parking."

Greek Spot

"Who doesn't love a gyro? I sure do. This place is conveniently located across the street from where i get my oil changed, so I stopped here for lunch while I waited. They have a beautiful covered patio that takes you out of a strip mall feel to a beautiful little nook, and i loved this. The service is kind, friendly, and efficient. I ordered the beef/lamb gyro wrap and side of fries (see photo) and feel the price was fair and the portion and quality were excellent! It didn't blow my dang mind like some other gyro spots in the south bay but it was very good and I would easily come back!"

Kali Greek Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (463) • $$

"I'm obsessed with Kali Greek! I constantly crave their rice plates because the flavors of their rice, chicken, beef, and lamb are so deliciously and made with high quality ingredients. The rice alone is something I could never get tired of. Fluffy, buttery rice with roasted orzo and chickpeas expels this amazing aroma. This is the tastiest rice I've ever had. This with the juiciest seasoned chicken skewer and creamy dill sauce creates the perfect bite. I also love the beef kebab, it's seasoned perfectly with a blend of savory spices. Aside from their entrees, they also have incredible desserts. The frozen Greek yogurt on the menu caught my eye before anything else and I wanted to try all of their different toppings! The nice thing is that you can customize it to your liking! I tried the honey with candied walnuts one and added cherries. If you like tart froyo, this is incredible. Other desserts are the baklava, which is flaky yet chewy, and loukoumades, which are a must try! These mini donuts are covered in a honey syrup and crumbled walnut topping. Kali Greek is on California Ave with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. There are two contactless ordering kiosks, grab a table number, find a table, and the food will arrive at your table. The staff and owners are super friendly and welcoming."

"I ordered a large takeout order for a picnic - several dips and skewers. Note that there is a pretty decent wait time on the order (but that means it's all fresh). In fact, there was one item they felt was past its peak and they offered to remake it (would have taken another 20 minutes) but since I didn't have the time, I just ordered something else. The wait staff was so kind in providing me a snack of pita and yogurt dip while I waited. Everything was very delicious, but the falafel were not my favorite. Highly recommend the dips and pita. The chicken and beef skewers were enjoyed by the others at the picnic but I didn't try them (since I'm vegetarian)."

"Had the chicken slouvaki bowl for dinner. The chicken was tender and cooked perfectly, rice was flavorful and it had the right amount of lettuce, tomatoe, red onion and feta cheese. I'm really writing this review and giving 5stars because the customer service was exceptional for a fast food chain. The young man behind the counter was courteous and brought our plates to the table for us. He noticed we were done eating and grabbed our empty plates and threw our garbage away for us as well. Good attentive customer service is rare these days so we appreciate the young man behind the counter. I wish I had gotten his name. 5:30pm worked the register today 2/18 if management can see this."

TAVERNA

★★★★☆ 3.9 (511) • $$$

"We just ordered small plates, brunch, and sides. So I can't speak to any of the main dishes. Having said that, below is what I can speak to on the restaurant.Dip - We ordered the tzatziki which came with delicious grilled pita. The dip was really creamy and the pita had sea salt which brought out the grilled flavor.French toast - I hadn't seen anyone mention the French toast. However, it deserves a mention because it was delicious! So light and fluffy with a cinnamon whipped sort of topping. So good!Fries - The fries were also really good. They came with ketchup and an interesting white sauce that tasted of basil, parmesan, and a tiny kick of spice. Whenever I go to a restaurant, I tend to like items that other people don't focus on...so just know I evaluate restaurants on pita and fries. LOL. But that's what makes me happy. The service here is attentive and the feeling is fancy. We sat outdoors with the heat lamps which was nice. We arrived for brunch at 12:30, and it started to get busy right about 1:30.TLDR; Dip & pita, french toast, and fries are worth a visit"

"Stopped by after a day at Arden farms. It was kinda empty but everything looked very clean. They didn't have any high chairs nor booster seats, just FYI.What we ordered:Pasta Alfredo with Chicken -10/10 portion was huge and the flavor was real good.Kids spaghetti - 10/10 portion was huge for a kid but it was real yummy. Greek salad - 9/10 I love when places add salt and pepper to a salad. The chicken was well seasoned too. The crumbles of feta w chunks of cut tomatoes and cucumber just really brought it together. I didn't even use the dressing because everything was so flavorful. 1 point off because the olives were not pitted, so be real careful when ordering this item.Cheesey bread - 10/10 wow this was real good!Funny thing is that each item comes with garlic bread so we had an overage but that's fine, we took it home. Really great experience and very nice workers."

"Nick gets the job done and is great value.A spotlight is due for the staff, there's a woman with red hair who's been working there the last couple times I've been in who is really kind and helpful. I really like their honey mustard sauce, it's a not too sweet compliment to the chicken gyro.Their froyo is also generously portioned. The location has always been clean.Main note is, I wish their fries are a little more crispy."

Nick The Greek - San Carlos

★★★★☆ 4 (302) • $$

"Great place for lunch. Service is quick and delicious food. Everything on the menu is delicious. Got the chicken souvlaki plate. Lots of food so you definitely won't be hungry afterwards. Love the chicken skewers and the fries. The fries were very flavorful and they were pretty addicting to eat. Lots of dining space inside and outside especially perfect in the summer and enjoy the fresh air. Parking is limited on laurel but park in the back where there is plenty of parking"

"Located in a shopping center Nick the Greek serves...... well Greek inspired food.The inside is purposely a little dark, which gives it a great ambience, there are fun signs that let people know how to properly say words like Gyro and the like lol. The inside was very orderly and clean, The server was at the ready to take our orders and he hand delivered it to our table. Later he brought out some samples of their yogurt ice cream with hard shell chocolate on top. "I mean who doesn't like chocolate hard shell topping, right?" The yogurt ice was freaking delicious, I could taste the tang of the yogurt, so good.I ordered a Greek salad and the lemon chicken soup. The Greek salad was quite delicious "I do wish however instead of giving me a chunk of feta cheese, that they would crumble it and stir it in" 4/5 rating. The lemon chicken soup unfortunately fell flat to my taste, I couldn't really pick up on the lemon flavor and there wasn't a whole lot of chicken inside 2/5 rating. Overall I will come back for their Greek salad and yogurt ice cream but will pass on the soup."

"This was so good! I live in Bakersfield and am out visiting family for the thanksgiving holiday. Before the family has the chance to throw down in the chicken for turkey day we had the opportunity of trying this beautiful place the day before. (And I'm so glad we did) I ordered the beef/lamb gyro pita...I planned on taking pictures but the food didn't last too long...sorryBut I can assure you that everything tasted great!!! The pro's are your taste buds will be slapped, belly filled and satisfied.The con's are, you're gonna lick your fingers, you may make a mess and smell like the perfect fusion of garlic and onion. I for sure will be back!"

"Santa Clara, y'all can do better than THIS! The food is good, but not fantastic. It's fairness, I could go 3.5 on the food scale. The food is presented nicely, and the visual makes you want to eat everything ! Maybe I was just hangry. Service is super slow, so if you're in a hurry, this isn't your spot. If you want it now, yes Veruca Salt, this means you, it's not happening. The breakdown -The lemon chicken soup, beautiful presentation. Tasty, but too lemony. The pistacio- the side salad was tasty, but basic. The pistacio was a smaller than what I expected portion. It was tasty, but it wasn't served pipping hot like it should have been. It was also over baked. Despite the slow service, the people are nice, and that always helps. We liked it. Didn't love it. I may toss a dish on the floor, and yell OPA!"

"I've been here several times and have enjoyed it every time. You order at the register and then have a seat. They bring your to the table. It usually arrives very quickly. The food is great and I haven't been disappointed in anything that I have ordered. The restaurant is clean and comfortable."

"I got the lamb sish kabob (my standard fair), a Gyro and some hummus. Food was amazingly fresh and the recipes were spot on delicious. Portions are within line for the price. the hummus was good as was the pita breads and sauces. Nothing was out of sorts or disappointing. I would recommend trying this place. Nice staff and clean store. bright and efficient. I hope to come here for years to come."

Capo Mediterranean Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.5 (191) • $$

"Such a great discovery! Capo is a delightful, well-designed, tasty Mediterranean eatery that's quick-service style with all the friendly care and customer service of fine dining. Parking is a little tight at peak hours but has a private lot that it shares with the other storefronts on the strip. There is a modern all-gender bathroom that is clean and well maintained. The restaurant is clean, tastefully decorated, and enjoyable with lots of natural light and windows and both indoor and outdoor seating. I appreciate the visual menu which made it easy to pick something to order (except everything looks good which makes it harder). I ordered the beef koftedes plate (~$18) which comes with a pomegranate BBQ sauce, rice, salad with a light vinaigrette dressing, warm pita slices, yogurt dip. I also tried some of my sister's chicken kebab plate which was delicious. We also tried a plate of manti for the table ($16) and it was sooo good! Tiny bite size dumplings in a yogurt and sundried tomato sauce. Will be back again for sure...I'm curious about the seafood offerings!"

"Lamb beef gyro wrap - perfectly executed, nice solid pieces of meat. Lavash was nice and grilled. white sauce is served on the side.Rice pudding - It was so good! Nice and light, not too sweet, a subtle perfect touch of warm spice. It was the perfect consistency for me, not too thick and ricey, and not too thin either.The owner is so nice! And they keep the place really clean."

★★★★☆ 4.1 (18)

"Located right in the heart of San Mateo. You order and pay at the register before getting your food. The staff was friendly and the food came out pretty fast. The lady who worked the register brought our food over to us. FOOD: Chicken gyro bowl & beef/lamb gyro plate are both really filling! The main difference between the bowl and plate is the pita bread and size of the salad. With the plate, you can choose between rice or fries. Everything tasted pretty fresh as well.It's also super clean in there too! I"

Xenia Mediterranean Kitchen - San Jose

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (3)

"I had a chance to try Xenia after seeing it on Uber Eats and got to try their Chicken Shawarma bowl. This is located in a ghost kitchen so there are different types of food you can order here on a touch screen and then someone puts it in a cubby where you go pick it up. The ambiance here is very minimal and no chairs or tables to eat - hence expect to eat pickup only.Overall the bowl was pretty good - it came with sweet potatoes, broccoli, corn salad and lots of other goodies. The chicken was well seasoned and went well with the sauce and the red pepper hummus which was really yum. Overall, good food and good portion!"

XENiA Mediterranean Kitchen

★☆☆☆☆ 1 (1)

"My husband and I ordered takeout from this place. The portions are incredibly small and not enough. The food tasted disgusting and lacked flavor, I don't think they even used salt. Not to mention the chicken was raw! We ended up throwing our takeout and went somewhere else for dinner. Photo of their food is not the same when you order."

Opa! Authentic Greek - Campbell

★★★★☆ 3.6 • $$

"I grew up in Saratoga, partially grew up with Opa in Los Gatos - was so sad to see it go. Lived in San Francisco so hit Kokkari a few times. I now live in San Diego and the ethnic food + all the food is so bad compared to the Bay. Was delighted to visit Opa in Campbell with my wife when we were visiting over the Holidays. Didn't have to bring the toddlers around which was great.The food here is same same as it was 10-12 years ago. Moderate+ portions, everything is perfectly seasoned and tastes so so so great. I wouldn't say it's authentic to its native region, but it's a perfect American classy interpretation. Prices areo so legit as well. Service was great. Prompt, attentive, accurate."

Athena Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 • $$

"Parking is on side street since this spot is in a commercial area. But honestly, it was easy to find a spot. Had a work lunch and made reservations for a group of 10. Surprised that they actually had a large table inside reserved for us. Came during Lunch rush and let me tell you, it was packed! But service was good and our food came timely considering how busy they were. The trio dip was amazing! It came with the softest pita bread I've ever had. Also came with pita chips (so good!) and white bread. I had the gyro plate and man! It was so flavorful and tender/moist. Did I mention their portions are huge?! Must try!"

Evvia Estiatorio

"Loved the lamb chop medium rare, best branzino and arugula salad with candied walnuts and oranges! Moussaka have a strong nutmeg/cinnamon and I prefer their other restaurants Kokkari better. Will def try the octopus next time and their dessert"

Mikonos Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 • $$

"I drove by this place for years. Finally tried it. It's a very casual store w/ high quality food and large portions at that. I tried the chicken souvlaki plate and it was amazing. I got fries and salad as my sides. I was stuffed! My family also got the vegetarian plate, lemon chicken (which as a 1/2 chicken), and a side of the falafel. The staff is super friendly and helpful w/ the menu. There's plenty of tables/seating to eat there. They'll bring the food out to you. We'll definitely be back! There's a shared parking lot for the plaza, so parking is easy."
