17 Best Greek Restaurants near Orinda

“Great food, fast efficient service, reasonable price. I had the large lamb gyro at a decent price and it was nicely seasoned, full of fresh lettuce tomato cucumber and onion, and had great tzatziki. They offered hot sauce which I took and it was a great optional addition for me as a spice lover. While waiting I drank free water from a dispenser on the counter and enjoyed the fact that these folks are running a small and quick cafe with authentic food, and not pretending to be my fake friend with effusive over the top “service”. Highly recommended if you enjoy good food and don’t require “the help” to supplicate to you.“

“Excellent Food and service !“

“We had a great evening with friends. Great food great service!“

“I’ve been to several Nick the Greek locations, but the one in Pinole truly stands out. From the moment I walked in, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome (Thank you to the owner Sarina!). They were attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout my visit.

The food here is on another level compared to the other locations I’ve tried—fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The gyro was packed with juicy meat, the pita was warm and soft, and the sauces had that authentic taste you hope for in Greek food. Everything tasted like it was made with extra care. Very rarely do you see an Owner of a brand the size of nick the greek actually in the store and taking care of customers!! It's fantastic.

Amazing food, even better service—I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Good gyros. My favorite is the beef and lamb gyro. Ground meat kebab can be a bit hit or miss, but the texture isn't too fine, and the meat isn't sliced too thinly, which I like. The prices for all the gyros is the same, which is a little odd to me and makes the falafel feel like a bad deal, it's still good.“

“Delectable, superb food presentation, good quality of ingredients, perfectly cooked especially the steak & lamb. Friendly & attentive staff. Cozy atmosphere & clean restaurant. Highly recommend ELIA!!“

“This place is amazing, from the service to the food itself.

I came in looking to try something different and was very happy with what I ordered. The veggies are very fresh and refreshing, I have been 4 different times trying different items and have never been disappointed.“

“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!“

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

“Troy has the best french fries in town, maybe in the entire East Bay. Get the Greek Fries--crispy on the outside and never greasy. The portion is huge and will disappear minutes after hitting the table. Addictive! Very friendly service. A great spot.“

“Nick the Greek never disappoints, especially the steak bowl—it is so good! The steak is tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, and everything in the bowl is always fresh and well-balanced. It’s easily one of my go-to meals.

On top of the amazing food, the customer service is outstanding. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and always makes sure your order is right. You can really tell they care about their customers. Highly recommend checking this place out if you haven’t already!“

“All around good Greek comfort food with Greek standards filling the menu. The meats tend to be a bit overcooked and tough but the flavors are there. I enjoy the salads and the meze platter. The service has always been friendly and professional. It's a great place to stop for lunch or casual dinner.“

“Absolutely delicious!“
