16 Best Greek Restaurants near Portola Valley

“Amazing food & service, excellent atmosphere“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“Very Nice staff and very clean kitchen and they always treat ME LIKE FAMILY WHEN I COME IN. I recommend this place and its a great addition to our community. Love Teena“

“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.“

“Lythe the owner is the best and makes you feel like family. The portions are big and you get good value for you money. The food is made with love and is delicious! The place is nicely renovated with comfortable seating. Highly recommend supporting this small family owned restaurant!“

“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.“

“Best pizza in the Bay Area!“

“Amazing food & service, excellent atmosphere“

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

“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.“
