30 Best Greek Restaurants near Oakland

“Great lunch spot! Oakland has lost so many Greek restaurants lately I was happy to find this spot. Open only weekdays for lunch the menu is solid but not overwhelming. Lamb/ beef gyro was tasty as was the side dish-we tried the fries and the salad.. Service was excellent and food was cooked fresh and quickly! Dining area has nice light and good amount of space. We will definitely be back!“

“I give the highest caterer recommendation to Ikaros To Go (catering by the team that ran Ikaros restaurant). They planned and managed a very delicious memorial dinner for us for approximately 75 guests. The customer service and food were excellent - our menu included roasted salmon, vegetarian mousaka, rice, Greek salad and garlic bread, plus dessert of Baklava and sugar cookies which everyone also loved. They also handled dinnerware, water, lots of set up and clean up, soft drinks and pretty bottled Greek waters for the tables. They were extremely considerate, thoughtful, flexible, organized and reliable. Ikaros to Go went above and beyond and made our event very special. We are very grateful - Thank you Ikaros to Go!“

“I love it because it's more then just grocery & grill. I consider it to be or it should be called "Multi convenience." Or maybe even "Some of this & Some of that!" would also be a good name. It's a small store, but most of the time they still have just what you need. The owner is cool too. He gives great customer service as well. Try this store or“

“If you love thick pizza, Detroit style pizza from 8MilePi is the way to go! So cheesy and filled with toppings. Smog pizza is my fav. There’s multiple locations so it’s convenient to satisfy my pizza cravings. They also have yummy wings and a packed chopped salad if you want other options. Their pizzas are huge and are so filling for lunch or dinner.“

“I Experienced their amazing food by “ Carry Out”. Difficult to believe one is able to pick up such delicious gourmet cuisine, by Top Chefs. Cannot wait to experience the full ambiance !!!“

“Octopus was very very delicious“

“Great food and superb service. love the beef wellington!!“

“Pàr napja itt vacsoràztunk a csalàdommal!Az ètelek isteni finomak voltak. Csirke gyros tàlat ès a Mix Grill hús tàlat vàlasztottunk, friss volt minden! A Hummust mindenkinek ajànlom, hogy kóstolja meg! Mennyei finom volt! Kedves kiszolgàlàs ès èlő zene is volt! Mindenkinek csak ajànlani tudom ezt a helyet! Visszatèrünk mèg! We had dinner here a couple of days ago with my family! The food was delicious. We chose the Chicken Gyros platter and the Mix Grill meat platter, everything was fresh! I recommend the Hummus to everyone to try! It was heavenly delicious! There was also nice service and live music! I can only recommend this place to everyone! We will be back!“

“Soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a smile and great customer service Rubal
Was very patient and helpful because it was my first time it smells so good inside and everything looks very clean. Couldn’t wait to eat. I definitely will be back.“

“We are in San Francisco for the weekend and The Parthenon is steps from our hotel. We did make reservations (advised) as they were very busy on a Friday night. It is noisy but in a high energy way -lots of happy diners chatting away. The service was excellent and the food was delicious authentic Greek/Mediterranean. They had our favorite wines by the glass too. Our only “complaint “ would be that the food comes out so fast it really isn't a dining experience. Could have used a bit more time to enjoy. But they did need to turn over the tables“

“Love this place! Just ask my husband ❤️“

“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!“

“5 stars. Amazing food from the lentil soup to dessert. Highly recommend.“

“We’re going for burritos and detoured to Nicks to ask if they have spanikopta. Affirmative so in came. Food is amazingly good, fresh, tasty, perfectly spiced.
Bravo! We’ll be back!! Chef’s kiss and btw, Jackie is a doll! She is so graceful 😊“

“Love this place! Just ask my husband ❤️“

“Absolutely delicious!“

“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.“

“Finally ate here and the food is really quite good. Mezze platter was delicious and I was able to get gluten free pita! They also have a lot of vegetarian options, many featuring impossible meat. So I had the Impossible wrap and it’s really well spiced, very tasty and huge! Leftovers! The only disappointment was the spanakopita which was very bland and didn’t seem to have any feta in it. My mom was very disappointed. They offered to remake it which was very nice. We’ll be back!“

“Fast, fresh and consistently good. I've never had a bad meal here“

“Monday night went to dinner with 5 friends. It was our second time at the restaurant. We ate there in March. The waiter and bartender remembered us and welcomed us back. I had the Lamb chops they were delicious. Cooked to perfection came with an asparagus risotto and roasted sweet potatoes. Fantastic. Great cocktails. We have eaten at almost every steakhouse in San Francisco. This to me probably number one. The Manhattan I had was definitely the best I ever had and I have been a bartender for 48 plus years. This is my first ever review I have ever written. Our group eats at many restaurants. Each person gets to take turns picking the restaurant. Not often do all of us have no complaints about the food. I will be back.“

“A great spot to stop by with the weather improving.

Even though not too busy on a friday midday the food was fresh and more than filled me up for $15.

Had a minor issue that was resolved quickly and guys were super nice.

The atmosphere at the parklet setup was good too.

Stop by for lunch and get refreshed before going back to the grind.“

“I love, love this little spot. They are fairly new to the area and I love them. Not only is the food always fresh, and packed with tons of flavor, and deliciousness, the staff is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. This is my new lunch favorite. The prices are phenomenal, especially for the area.“

“Walked by and smelled the food which instantly drew me in. I ordered immediately. Food was ready quickly. My husband and I shared the lamb slouvaki plate. The lamb was so tender! I appreciated the protein/rice/vegetable ratio too. Outdoor seating was perfect. I would definitely bring my dog for the outdoor seating area next time. We will definitely be back!“

“Love coming to SF! Had a moment to grab a meal and heard of Nick's! Awesome food and atmosphere! Laid-back, no issues, Love Gyros! Ever since my time overseas in Europe I try and grab a gyro a few times a year and was excited this was around the corner from me here! I like cold tea with my meal and that wasn't an option, it was a bottled and warm.“

“Great food lovely location“

“the gyros are great, next time i will try the chickpea gyro...go ...eat. enjoy“

“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 ❤️“

“Fast, affordable, and good food! Despite convention traffic they kept the line moving at a solid pace, and only took about 5 minutes from ordering to get the food out. Would recommend to anyone at the Moscone Center who doesn’t want to wait for a meal.“

“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.“

“Found their yellow truck at Valencia Live and they did not disappoint. The Gyro Salad was perfect. Gyro meat was tender and thickly carved, not cheap and thin like other places. And the portion was generous. Every ingredient in the salad was remarkably fresh and delicious. Red onions were sweet and thin. It was loaded with Persian cukes, toms, shredded carrot; it wasn’t mainly lettuce with a few token veggies thrown in. Great homemade dressing. They are not skimpy here. Came with sliced pepperoncini, 2 tzatziki cups, and a lemon wedge, which makes sense with lamb, but a lot of gyro places overlook it. Ask for a side of hot sauce, it’s good, complex, unique, maybe homemade. And even the pita bread was soft, hot, and fresh. This $16 salad was correctly priced, worth every nickel.“
