10 Best Greek Restaurants near Hayward

“This is one of the only, if not THE only, fresh and healthy food option in walking distance from my house. The food leaves you feeling nourished and full. The portions are great for the price in this economy. The dining area and self service drink stations are always immaculately clean. Additionally, the staff and manager here really go above and beyond with their warm hospitality. Today I called ahead to ask about their produce suppliers as I have anxiety about cyclospora, and they were so quick to be transparent with this helpful information. Something else sweet that I’ve noticed is the way the greet, acknowledge, and engage with children. This is truly a family friendly spot with something for everyone.“

“So this my first time trying this place and I’m glad I did 😊 At first was thinking of going to chipotle but was like let me try nick the creek and honestly they did not disappoint. The potion of food is worth the price and everything tastes fresh & delish. I will definitely be a constant customer and I’m glad they have them in different locations. Great job 👏🏾 👏🏾“

“Loved the halloumi for starters with fruits to balance the saltiness. The feast for 2 was definitely more than enough for me and my friend, a good option to sample all their meats. I liked the chicken and shrimp the most. The side of rice was surprisingly tasty too and not just plain rice. Staff and service is topnotch and very attentive. The ambiance is very nice. Price is reasonable for what you’re getting. Street parking only but there’s a free parking lot across the street near Safeway. Will definitely come back to try other dishes!“

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

“The lemon potatoes are so simple yet delicious. The chicken skewers are always cooked perfectly. The seasonal watermelon salad is SO good, my only suggestion would be to add pistachios or something for crunch. I stop here for lunch quite a bit and the food and friendly service are always consistent. Ordering ahead and picking up is also super easy on their app, though when I’ve walked in they’ve been fast without sacrificing yummy.“

“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.“

“Wonderful! Today (5/18/26), at around 4:30-5:00 PM, I was craving a fresh, not too heavy meal to satisfy my lunch cravings while on break. I was recommended this specific nick the Greek from a good friend of mine, as it was local, and was said to have great service and good food. When I entered the store, I was pleasantly surprised by how nicely decorated and clean the store was, along with its upbeat, Greek themed atmosphere. My highlight of this visit was the food and service though, as the two employees at the front taking my order were extremely kind, patient, and were actively engaged in assisting me in ordering my meal. I ordered a beef gyro, which was absolutely delicious, filling, and perfectly satisfied my lunch cravings. I also ordered Greek fries, which came out about 1-3 minutes after my gyro came, and they were just as good, a perfect combination with my gyro. All in all, a great, fast, clean, and delightful experience from this restaurant, props to the workers at the cash register! This visit made my day, and I’ll definitely be coming back for more.“

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

“Very nice employees. It was my first time in the restaurant, and I don't get greek food that often. The employee taking my order was really nice and patient, helping me navigate through an unfamiliar menu. I definitely recommend this place the food is great too!“

“Went and had lunch the other day after my visit with Kaiser and I really enjoyed my lunch. I was attended by the manager, I believe her name is Leana. She was really cool and was very helpful with the menu. Definitely made my experience a lot more enjoyable. The food is delicious and have never had a negative experience with it.“
