5 Best Greek Restaurants near San Rafael

“My husband and I came here for breakfast before our hike in Muir Woods. Husband got the huevos rancheros with house potatoes which was really good! I got the Mexican scramble with hash browns and I think this was literally the best omelette I’ve ever had. I was so full for hours afterwards (and yes, even after the hike I barely had any room for anything else). Would highly recommend!

Also, the man and lady behind the counter were also very nice!“

“I decided to take my young kids to Nick the Greek yesterday for some lunch. I have a four-year-old and a 20 month old, which means going out can be a little hectic. I haven’t been to Nick the Greek in a while so I had a couple questions about the menu. Logan was working the register and she was super helpful and friendly, answering all my questions without being annoyed or frustrated. By the end of our meal, my youngest had made a mess, there was rice everywhere. I did my best to clean the table, chair, and what I could get off the floor. As I stood up with my tray, Logan immediately asked “can I grab that for you?” And took it out of my hands helping me throw out our trash. I then asked if they had a small broom that I could borrow to clean up the rest of the rice under the table. She insisted that she would clean it up and it wasn’t a problem at all. Meanwhile, as I’m looking at her, my youngest takes his nasty little baby hands and puts them all over their clean glass window. As a mom in that moment, I felt so overwhelmed, and bad for the staff. But Logan made me feel at ease. She insisted that it was ok and she would handle it for me.

I’m writing this review because I’m 36 years old and I’ve been in the restaurant industry for 20+ years. It’s very hard to find hard-working people that have a good work ethic and are just good with human interaction. As a mom, I truly appreciate her help yesterday. She made me feel like she was there to support me, and it was obvious she could see I was having a rough day with them.

People like Logan are hard to find these days. I hope the management knows how valuable she is. I will be returning to this location, even though I live in Corte Madera, just to see her again.

Thanks Logan for making a mama’s day just a little bit easier. God Bless.“

“While not an expert I grew up in Detroit eating gyros as often as hamburgers. Hands down the best gyro I have had in ages. Warm soft pita, crisp fresh veggies, great house made sauce and really tasty gyro meat. And always friendly service from the owner. Small seating area so may need to plan to do take out versus eat in.“

“My fiancée and I adore this place. We visit wine country half a dozen times a year and always make a point to stop here. Everything is super fresh and delicious. A side salad with your choice of meat is more than enough. Grab a bottle of the crazy good rose and an extra dipping sauce for the Greek fries and you’ll be set.“

“I recently had the pleasure of trying the falafel at Nick the Greek, and it was nothing short of amazing! From the first bite, I was blown away by the perfect blend of spices and the crispy texture on the outside, while remaining soft and flavorful inside. The freshness of the ingredients really stood out, making it clear that they prioritize quality.

The falafel was served with a delicious tahini sauce that complemented the dish beautifully, adding a creamy richness that elevated the entire experience. I also appreciated the generous portion size—definitely a great value for the price!

The atmosphere of the restaurant was inviting, and the staff were friendly and attentive. If you're a fan of Mediterranean cuisine or just looking to try some fantastic falafel, I highly recommend Nick the Greek. I can't wait to come back and enjoy it again!“
