21 Best Greek Restaurants near San Carlos

“Everyone thought the food was really good. We had the whole branzino and both the beef and chicken souvlaki. Everything seasoned well and cooked perfectly. Thoughtful service. We split two salads among the four of us, and they actually plated them individually for us. We have a member of our group who must eat gluten free. They were very knowledgeable about celiac and helpful in making good choices and making sure everything was safe with no cross contact.“

“Sarahi somehow manages to educate you on the menu, ensure a clean table, and communicates your wishes for the perfect meal to the cooking team all while giving you a welcoming smile. Something about a perfect swirl froyo afterward makes this experience beyond satisfactory. The City of Good Living is lucky to have this gem with such a kind staff.“

“Elia in San Carlos is absolutely amazing. The service is exceptional — friendly, attentive, and truly makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in.
The food was outstanding. The oysters were incredibly fresh, the seafood pasta with lobster was top-notch, and the octopus was perfectly cooked and delicious. The filet mignon literally melted in your mouth.
The restaurant itself has beautiful decor and a wonderful Greek vibe that makes the whole experience feel special.
What really touched us was the birthday card signed by the entire staff — such a thoughtful and sweet gesture that made the celebration even more memorable.
We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“I had the Branzino and it was beautifully prepared and tasted amazing. My friend had the Paella and loved it. Overall, I really enjoyed the restaurant. The prices seem a little high, but the food was amazing so I wasn't too bothered to pay. Service was excellent. Cute up and coming area amidst the many new apartment buildings and corporate buildings. I'll be back.“

“This place is great! The food is always fresh and tasty. Delivers every time. The people are friendly, inviting, and welcoming (lots and Demetre). They make us feel like family. They do have beer and wine. And the frozen yoghurt is terrific especially with chocolate drizzled over it! The facilities are spotless, including the restrooms. We love this place!“

“Came here on Saturday 7/26, and the service was so friendly I had to review! Both register and kitchen staff were friendly and attentive. They were also proactive for service opportunities. Definitely the best Nick the Greek I’ve ever been to. And extremely clean bathroom!“

“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“

“Great service and wonderful food!“

“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.“

“Chicken souvlaki is surprisingly really tender for chicken breast meat.

Get that above all else.

Also, I think the classic hummus is better than the harissa hummus. The combo plate was a good value, but wasn’t overly impressed by the gyro meat.“

“Best pizza in the Bay Area!“

“Ive been coming here for a few years, I can't believe I haven't done a review yet. This cafe has some of the best food I've tasted, the burgers are a decent size and cooked with great care and same goes for the sandwiches. I've still not yet tried everything on the menu but plan to. Mardini the cook is an awesome character and always shows hospitality when you step in his cafe.“

“ONE word "EXCELLENT". Great menu, love the murals, quick service, clean and they even serve beer and wine. parking is tricky so have patience. Garlic Fries, Hummus, Combo Gyro Plate!“

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

“I love this restaurant so much, it’s the best on Burlingame Avenue! Their food has so much flavor and never misses. Their chicken yuro plate is so delicious! They always have great surface. You need to eat dinner here the next time you’re on the ave.“

“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.“
