9 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Petaluma

“The decor is sort of sparton, or should I say Viking...

Staff was very friendly. Place is clean.

I just went there for Kalles
It is about the only place in NorCal that has/had it.

Parking is manageable, least you don't have to pay for parking like in S. F.“

“Everything was fabulous! So excited that Luma is open!“

“I’ve had Nick the Greek more than a couple times now at various locations and there’s not too much to complain about. There’s no major difference from this location to the other ones I’ve been to. Just be aware that since it opened very recently they might have to work out some kinks that might arise from opening a new location so don’t fault them for long lines (that’s not their fault), getting orders mixed up and/or missing items (again lots of orders, lots of people, staff still training/getting used to things). Give them a chance, we’re all humans and we all make mistakes.

The beef and lamb gyro is pretty standard, nothing wrong there. But I love the Greek fries they have. Prices are a little high but pretty much everything is these days. The location is great, plenty of parking, plenty of seats to dine in at. The menu is pretty straightforward and easy to understand (if you’re not sure what exactly something is the staff is able to explain in easier terms what things are).

One thing I thought that was a little weird was that while waiting in line to order, the owner, who seems very nice, said hi to the people in front of me and behind me but didn’t say anything to me. It’s not that big of a deal but I just thought it was weird.

One recommendation that I have would be to have a sign or something to let people know that online orders can be picked up on the left side of the register. I saw a lot of people confused about that when waiting in line to order.

Overall, I would recommend trying out this location keeping the things I mentioned earlier in mind. It is a franchise, which some people might see as good or bad. Some of my review is more towards the franchise itself rather than anyone at this specific location. I do prefer some other mom and pop shops a little bit more than Nick the Greek, but only by a very little bit.

Regardless of anything negative, I’m glad there is a location in Petaluma and I will be returning for more.“

“Our absolute favorite restaurant in all of Sonoma County. The food is impeccably prepared and curated. Selections are reasonably priced and well-worth it. It is certainly worth driving out of your way for a meal here.

As a note, the menu often has new and rotating dishes responsive to the current season or availability of bio-diverse food. Visit frequently to get the full experience!“

“Good music, food & drinks.“

“Yummy food great portions authentic taste“

“Very tasty, authentic greek food! Absolutely delicious!“

“Best gyro and the dolma is INCREDIBLE! This is a MUST VISIT spot when in the area. Tell Sam that Chris & Zip sent you. You’ll be addicted to his food, service and charm. A place for real Mediterranean flavors, and none of that big box processing. He’s open Monday - Saturday, with tri-tip on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Honestly, stop by and try the food. You will be transported to a new land of flavors and comfort.“

“Great food but the real draw is the staff. So friendly. Great ambience.“
