“Ayola holds a special place in my heart. I used to frequent Ayola at least once a week when I worked in San Francisco. I work outside of San Francisco now, so it's not as easy for me to come get my fix. I still haven't found another place that tastes as good or better Greek/Mediterranean food.
My favorite is their Chicken Gyro, and their fries are just as amazing. Pairing it with their hot sauce is phenomenal!
On the floor level, there's a few tables to sit down if you wish to dine in, and there's a few spots to sit on the upper level as well, but it's a pretty tiny shop.
The owners are super friendly and are always happy to see their customers!“

“If I don't know where to eat I go.to souvla. The alvogmenon? Soup is my go to if I don't know what to eat or don't know what I'm doing with my life. The protein from the yogurt and the low sugar content and offerings of salt olive oil, and honey are just essential for the body and so good for you it's something you can eat any time for any reason. I also love the decor, the owner has such a vision. And the New York coffee cups? Iconic. Love this place so much“

“While not an expert I grew up in Detroit eating gyros as often as hamburgers. Hands down the best gyro I have had in ages. Warm soft pita, crisp fresh veggies, great house made sauce and really tasty gyro meat. And always friendly service from the owner. Small seating area so may need to plan to do take out versus eat in.“

“Clean, quiet, nice area. I like European cuisine (Cyprus, Greece, Poland, Ukraine, Germany) - I can say that it's not bad for pork without marinade, but it's not Greek souvlaki - just portioned pork on a skewer. French fries want to be better (dry). An acquired taste. I wish to listen to the comments and make the food more colorful and traditional.“

“My wife, son and myself went to dinner tonight and food was absolutely amazing. Staff were polite and friendly and full of enthusiasm about the food. The braised lamb shank melted in your mouth and the greek salad was so refreshing and the tomatoes were so fresh that I felt I was in a garden picking them myself. The green hummus was full of fresh herbs and I didn't know what to expect but luckily the owner brought a complimentary plate out because I was so full from all the food we got that I felt guilty for not being able to finish it.“

“I recently had the pleasure of trying the falafel at Nick the Greek, and it was nothing short of amazing! From the first bite, I was blown away by the perfect blend of spices and the crispy texture on the outside, while remaining soft and flavorful inside. The freshness of the ingredients really stood out, making it clear that they prioritize quality.
The falafel was served with a delicious tahini sauce that complemented the dish beautifully, adding a creamy richness that elevated the entire experience. I also appreciated the generous portion size—definitely a great value for the price!
The atmosphere of the restaurant was inviting, and the staff were friendly and attentive. If you're a fan of Mediterranean cuisine or just looking to try some fantastic falafel, I highly recommend Nick the Greek. I can't wait to come back and enjoy it again!“

“TLDR: huge plate of quality Mediterranean food for under $15 in the FiDi!
I came here ordering takeout and the plates averaged around $13. I got the mixed combo plate and though it didn’t come with rice, it came with beef and chicken, hummus, salad, bread, falafel and dolma which were all great! Service was friendly, food came out quickly and I even got some hot sauce with my dips! Would definitely come back“

“Little slice of life and good food! All the food is home-made and uses good products. You will get a lot!! If you are a Hispter, stay clear, this may be too real for you!
Parking: Restaurant is in an industrial area....so depends on business I guess.
Kid-friendliness: we had a three year old with us. She was fine. The restaurant is cafeteria style.“

“I’d been trying to find a place that sold Dubai chocolate bars in San Francisco and finally found it at Cafe Elena! Their Dubai chocolate bar is awesome! Dark chocolate, pistachio filling, not too sweet. Family-owned business, wife makes the chocolate bars, super friendly owner.“
“Private club, but can be used by members for business entertaining, unlike most. Quiet, nicely decorated, no oafs wearing baseball caps slobbering food at the next table.Regular food/wine special events with experts. Membership dues are quite reasonable.“

“Perfect place for a date night. It is usually packed but we love sitting at the bar. The food is delicious. We usually get the mezze platter and octopus. We’ve also tried the kunefe (small but really yummy). We love the atmosphere here as the bartender and waiters are super nice and they generally leave us to ourselves (a refreshing change from most American places where you get interrupted quite a lot). The decoration is beautiful too. All in all: I definitely recommend Dunya.“

“I smelled it before I got there no always looking for “the right food cooked by the right people!” I had a bowl with chicken which I could cut with a the plastic spoon 😍 with rice and lentils very flavorful too with the Israel salad all that flavor in one bowl was the best by far! My friend who’s vegan was very satisfied had a falafel bowl which she started eating as we walked down the street! She had smashed it by the time we made to the tables at Union Square. The food delicious the portions huge and the price right! On another note when we arrived they were out of rice and of course they made me some fresh very much appreciated ❤️“

“My fiancée and I adore this place. We visit wine country half a dozen times a year and always make a point to stop here. Everything is super fresh and delicious. A side salad with your choice of meat is more than enough. Grab a bottle of the crazy good rose and an extra dipping sauce for the Greek fries and you’ll be set.“
