9 Best Greek Restaurants near Hayward

“Food was good, but the protein portion was really small. Thought I would get more steak. Also, my Dr. Pepper tasted funny and my friend said his Pepsi tasted funny too.

Other than that, the environment was cozy and the people were nice.“

“Every time I come to Nick the Greek in Union City, California, I’m impressed. The restaurant is always super clean, and the manager is absolutely wonderful—such a great personality with a consistently positive attitude. You can truly feel how much they care about their customers.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the kindness of the staff makes every visit special. The food is always incredibly fresh and full of flavor. My husband and I come here quite often, even though we live about 40 minutes away. We’ve tried other Nick the Greek locations, but none compare to this one—this is the only location we’ll go to because of the amazing atmosphere and outstanding service.

My favorite dish is the Mediterranean bowl, and my husband loves the souvlaki plate—both are always delicious. If you have not tried Nick the Greek in Union City, you’re missing out!“

“Nick the Greek is always a spot that's fairly consistent across all of their locations (at least the ones I've been to). It was nice to be greeted when I walked in and the cashier had welcomed me in with a smile. It's been a while since someone welcomed me or my friends into a restaurant with a smile, so this was appreciated. This location also had plenty of seats and since I went during lunch, I could really sit anywhere.“

“Recently, we had family over and decided to oder from The Great Greek in San Ramon. The total order was over $350. I had some specific requests for my order and called the restaurant directly to make sure they knew exactly what I was trying to order.
The young man who that took my order was patient, attentive and understood what I wanted. The order was prepared exactly as I had requested. The meats and shrimp cooked just right and the rest of the order was perfect. I have to praise the person who took my order and the cook that prepared the meal. Everything went smoothly and one of them even helped me to bring my order to the car. This is not the first time I ordered or dined at The Great Greek and certainly recommended the restaurant to anyone who wants to experience Greek food, it's great. Thank you!“

“As always the gyros (beef/lamb) were awesome, as were the fresh pitas & hummus. We do always remove the fries in the gyros bc they're just a filler IMHO & I think they take away from the rest of the flavor. Better to add some cucumbers & olives instead. I did get an extra steak skewer on the side this time for my Dad & he was disappointed as it was VERY dry, that's why only 4 stars.“

“Great variety of Mediterranean and greek, Turkish , Lebanese and European food“

“the best chicken Caesar salad and garlic toast - love this Newark location and vibe!“

“We finally checked out The Kebab Shop, and it was a total hit!
The biggest surprise was how much the kids loved the food. They inhaled their meals and were actually asking for more by the end. Note to self: next time, we’re skipping the kids' menu and ordering full adult plates for them—they clearly can't get enough of those flavors!
Everything felt high-quality, especially the salad, which was incredibly crisp and fresh. It’s the kind of spot where you feel good about what you’re eating. We will definitely be back soon!“

“Nick the Greek is tucked away in the Whole Foods Mowry Plaza and has good food for the price (4.4/5). Their falafel is fried nicely, and is soft on the inside. Put into a gyro bowl it all comes together well. However their garlic fries were a little soggy. The service staff is fast and attentive, and our waiter Vannya was helpful (4.4/5).“
