22 Best Greek Restaurants near Palo Alto

“First time diners. Sat inside and loved the dining room. Their “patio” is a parklet on the street, nice but still a street view. Lived the ambiance and restaurant vibe. The wait staff is obviously well trained as they are super professional and attentive. Most of the servers are a bit more mature than your average restaurant server, so they seem to take great pride and ownership in their work. We never wanted for anything nor did we feel hovered over. We ordered the calamari, which had a nice breading and was relatively tender compared to most. We also shared a Greek dinner salad, which was quite fresh but the dressing lacked much flavor, though my partner thought it was really good. She had the salmon, which is served with a light tomato based sauce, lemon mashed potatoes and zucchini. The salmon was a wee bit over cooked and didn't really have much flavor. I think she said, “kind of bland.” She always compares salmon ordered out to the Pacific Rim Salmon at Shadowbrook in Capitola, which she absolutely loves. I ordered the roast chicken, which was served with broccolini and roasted fingerling potatoes. The chicken portion is substantial and the chicken, which is roasted over an open flame in the exhibition kitchen was tender and delicious. The vegetables were very good. We shared the baklava, which comes with vanilla ice cream. The baklava was pretty dense but was tasty. We would definitely return...“

“I often visit this spot as a sweet treat after a long day and it’s the best feeling. Their froyo has a really strong yogurt taste, and I recommend adding the baklava and honey for sweetness and depth. Their baklava is good by itself too. Servers ate very nice and polite. Highly recommend!“

“Comida Grega, muito bem temperada, no ponto certo. Para mim, claro! Parabéns!“

“It is the day after and I’m still dreaming about the food! Every detail in this restaurant was top notch. The food was so flavorful and appropriately salted, the served pita was warm, the salmon and shrimp were juicy, the beyti were heavenly. The heirloom tomatoes in the salad were so sweet!!! I tried a couple other mediterranean restaurants in the area and this one takes the prize!“

“Excellent meal was had at this restaurant. Service was very good, food was great, portions were generous. Have to go highly recommend.“

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

“It’s a Greek restaurant. I wanted to get something healthy so I ate a Salad for 5$. It was nice and made me full for my lunch. Packed with healthy lettuce, tomato and other 🥗. The place was super clean. Indoor Outdoor seating both available. The servers were friendly, attentive and hard working. Most of the food is in the range of 12$+ for one person. Attaching pictures for reference.“

“Greek Spot was a fantastic find! The food was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying, with delicious Greek-inspired flavors in every bite. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. I really enjoyed the meal and would definitely come back again!“

“Had Nick the Greek for the first time today and got the Mediterranean Bowl with Chicken Souvlaki and wow it was fantastic! I'm not the biggest onion fan but even the picked onions mixed with everything tasted bomb 💣. Probably the best Mediterranean cuisine bowl I've ever had.“

“Their tilapia fillet is excellent. Gyros is good. Best baklava. Staff are friendly, cordial, polite and professional. As soon as we walked in, they recognized us.“

“Excellent food from an owner that really cares about your experience. Go give these hard working folks a try. The place is showing some age. But, that's probably because they are not trying to squeeze you for every last cent. A real gem.“

“Dined here for the first time today and really enjoyed our meal and the friendly service. Had the chicken gyro. Will be back to try other items in the menu!“

“The service was great, and the guy behind the counter even came to my table to bring my food.
Usually, this place is good and have good food, reasonably priced. Unfortunately, this time all the meat (was getting beef & lamb gyro) had chewy bits in it, which wasn't really enjoyable to eat, without having to spit something every bite.“

“Great service and wonderful food!“

“We have enjoyed Elia about 4 times now for dinner. Overall, very nice upscale Greek cuisine. Main dishes are generously portioned. Love the grilled artichoke and dolmathes appetizer and the salads are solid. Souvlaki was well cooked, someone in our party has always ordered this and not been disappointed. Mousakka was ok - seemed baked a bit too long and was overly salted. Lobster tail pasta delicious; generous lobster portion and a very rich sauce.

Service: 3 of our 4 visits have had great service - solid and attentive but on our last visit, the service wasn't the same as the prior 3 times; the main server didn't come by all that frequently and the adjunct servers had to be reminded of a couple of small requests we made (drink refill, bread refill).“

“Ever since I walked into this restaurant, I instantly fell in love. The clean, healthy, tasty, perfectly portioned sized, and masterly prepared dishes by Ali, and his friendly staff, keep me coming back. My new favorites are the lentil soup, and lamb shank (limited menu special). Satisfying food experience I highly recommend.“

“Chai is great, tastes basically as good as Coupa's“

“big beers, good German beers, for a good price“
