18 Best Greek Restaurants near Orinda

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious!“

“We eat at Nick the Greek two to three times a week, and the food is always fresh and delicious. Mylene consistently provides outstanding customer service—she’s friendly, welcoming, and always greets us with a smile. She makes every visit a great experience, and it’s one of the reasons we keep coming back. Highly recommend this location for both the food and the excellent service!“

“I love Nick the Greek! My go-to order is the Nick Fries and the Chicken Gyro Pita — there’s just something about the flavor that always hits the spot. It’s seasoned perfectly and consistently delicious every time.

I’ll even DoorDash it to my house when I’m craving it, but when I’m in the area, I like stopping by to eat inside. The restaurant is always clean, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the service is fast and efficient.

Highly recommend coming here and trying their menu — you really can’t go wrong!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Delicious quick Beef/Lamb Gyro at 9:30 pm on a Monday night. No wait, energetic cashier with a good sense of humor who offered cold water while I waited. Food came in 2-3 minutes. Flavorful meat, good bread, delicious sauce. The fries inside the Gyro weren’t fresh but it was late in the evening and their lukewarm state did not detract. Terrific fast food. Easy parking right in front.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Great Lunch Menu Specials!!!“
