18 Best Greek Restaurants near San Mateo

“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!“

“Bahche made our day out on a warm sunny day, even better! We came to Field Works to watch the England vs. Croatia game, and since they are in partnership with Bahche, the food was brought straight to our table! Super fresh, warm and ready to munch by all at the table! The ceviche was super juicy and tasty, the shrimp, fish and octopus was absolutely delicious. The beef and chicken skewers had just the right marinate and grill marks that made us feel outdoors, as if they were grilled right beside us. All around excellent experience for myself my brother and our friends. Anybody visiting this area needs to visit Bahche, it’s super convenient to get to between El Camino and 101-S in a super nice renewed area of Hillsdale/San Mateo. Their baklava with ice cream topped off the amazing experience and it was to our liking. I must call out their attention to detail, check out my photo of the baklava. How they place it even for a to-go packaging! Awesome and well recommended!“

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Incredible Mediterranean Food!
​If you are looking for authentic, fresh, and incredibly flavorful Mediterranean food, this is the place to go in Burlingame! The kabobs are cooked to absolute perfection—tender, juicy, and packed with the right amount of spices. Every side dish, from the hummus to the fresh rice, tastes homemade and high-quality.
​Beyond the food, the service is outstanding. The staff is welcoming, attentive, and makes you feel right at home. The portions are very generous for the price, meaning you definitely won't leave hungry. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch wrap or sitting down for a full dinner plate, it never disappoints. Highly recommended!“

“We’re going for burritos and detoured to Nicks to ask if they have spanikopta. Affirmative so in came. Food is amazingly good, fresh, tasty, perfectly spiced.
Bravo! We’ll be back!! Chef’s kiss and btw, Jackie is a doll! She is so graceful 😊“

“This place is a gem in SSF! We come here regularly about 2-3 times a month for the last 4 years because we love it so much! The ingredients are always fresh and great quality. The owner John is super friendly and hospitable as well as Yakup who regularly works there too. They also make homemade Turkish Delight that’s the best we’ve had. Please give this place a try and you will love it too!“

“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!“

“I came in during a weekday afternoon as I needed something convenient and fresh. I've always had the gyro bowls but during this visit I saw they were advertising the Mediterranean bowl so I asked the staff / cashier what the differences were between the two and she told me about the ingredients used. Honestly I wasn't up for trying something new in that moment, but the cashier shared that the Mediterranean bowl was her favorite item and suggested I pair it with the chicken souvlaki. It was one of the tastier and better casual lunches I've had in a while! Service was also very friendly and helpful, and I thanked the cashier on my way out for her recommendation. It was so good that the following week I ordered the same bowls for a family dinner via door dash.

Highly recommend folks try the flavorful and vibramt Mediterranean Bowl if they havent her already.“

“The food here is absolutely delicious! I ordered the lamb shank, and it came with rice and a huge fresh salad. It was absolutely amazing.

I also ordered the baklava, and it’s honestly the best baklava I’ve had in the Bay Area so far.

I highly recommend trying the baklava and, of course, the lamb shank. Thanks for a fantastic mealI left very happy!“

“i wish they would not use seed oils as their food did block my insulin from working and sugar spike stayed all night. greek restaurants are supposed to use olive oil only. the restaurant is great for sharing and having fun with friends. music and dj was great too. this is a awesome addition to san carlos.“

“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.“
