42 Best Greek Restaurants near South San Francisco

“Ever thought of trying a local small business, family restaurant. The guy who runs this place came from Turkiye in 2008. Settled down in SFO, had a family and is living an American dream.
His only complaint is SFO is expensive. Well we can all agree to that.
Food is very tasty.
We tried falafel wrap, chicken gyro and kids gyro with rice. All of these were of great quality. Plus the Turkish delight was fabulous. Owner shared Turkish tea on the house. Plus I ordered fries in kids meal but it came with rice instead. No worries he added fries and refused to take money for it. Well I made it up in the tip.
If you are south SFO and crave Mediterranean food. This is the place.“

“The food here is OK. It took over 15 minutes. People that ordered after me got their food within five minutes. I ordered a beefteki (baked beef) pita $13.73, chicken skewer $6.04, side of rice $4.40 and a froyo $7.09. Everything tasted OK. It wasn't great.“

“Octopus was very very delicious“

“First time here. Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere.“

“Souvla was really really good. All the food was amazing. The salads were fresh and the feta you could tell was sprinkled on directly before they served it. The pita was soft. I would hope that it was easier to eat but other than that it was perfect. The food came really fast and when we got our Greek fries. They were very warm and you could tell they just came out of the fryer. The ranch was super good and if you stuffed the pita with any salad you get a bite of delicious comforting food. Will definitely come here again“

“I came here based on a recommendation from a coworker. Novi was a pleasant experience! The service was prompt and the sangria fizz was absolutely delicious.“

“Great wine, food and atmosphere. One salad is more than enough for two people. We got the Retsina wine which was off the hook, soft, velvety and delicious. We got the soup which was reminiscent of Tom Kha in a way and also delicious. Greek fries and lamb salad were also made just right and the food was brought out so quickly. The location is nice and romantic in a way. My wife and I enjoyed the experience very much. Thank you Souvla!“

“Love this place! Just ask my husband ❤️“

“Walking in from the busy streets of San Francisco feels like stepping into a peaceful oasis.
The service was delicate and attentive and the food is full of amazing, vibrant flavors. If you need a quick getaway in the middle of a busy day, a moment of peace and great food, this is the perfect place. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant.“

“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!“

“Amazing Food and great customer service!!!!!“

“This place is delightful in everything - hospitality, attention to details… checking if everythibv is to patrons’ liking… - we were offered to move to a larger table to feel more comfortable. Food is AMAZING. Just that. Ok, our group was probably hungry after a walk in cold weather. But the first drink of the Greek IPA, first bite of calamaris or octopus prepped to perfection, the delightful ceviche… - all felt heavenly.

Our whole group asked for second servings of aromatic beer (new to us), all souvlakis kinds were delightful. At the end, an amazing desert miraculously appeared, and I don’t even do deserts usually - ate it all and scraped the plate.

Highly recommended place to come for dinner or to stop for a drink + appetisers, and I am certainly hoping to be back soon.“

“Nick the Greek is a fantastic spot for fresh, flavorful Greek fast-casual food! The gyros are perfectly seasoned, the meat is tender and juicy, and everything comes out tasting consistently fresh. The portions are satisfying, and the sauces really bring everything together. Service is quick, friendly, and efficient, making it a great choice for a fast but high-quality meal. Whether you’re grabbing lunch or dinner, this place never misses I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Love this place! Just ask my husband ❤️“

“Counter service alleyway style eatery with really nice outdoor backyard seating too. Food is creative, fresh and satisfying.
Proportions are good and reasonably priced for SF. Service was very good bringing food to table with number sign system. It's worth a visit.“

“This was my first time here but definitely not my last!!! Friendly service and delicious food!!! I loved the unique flavors in the chicken wrap…fennel and orange slices…delicious pita bread!!! The frozen Greek yogurt with a choice of syrup topping was so good 🥰“

“A great spot to stop by with the weather improving.

Even though not too busy on a friday midday the food was fresh and more than filled me up for $15.

Had a minor issue that was resolved quickly and guys were super nice.

The atmosphere at the parklet setup was good too.

Stop by for lunch and get refreshed before going back to the grind.“

“I just enjoy their food. Friends and I would’ve dined in but unfortunately not enough seething for larger group. The cashier was so sweet and helpful. I think she is new, not seen her before.

Parking: Lots of parking available as they are located in a mall strip“

“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 food! period. love it“

“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.“

“Love coming to SF! Had a moment to grab a meal and heard of Nick's! Awesome food and atmosphere! Laid-back, no issues, Love Gyros! Ever since my time overseas in Europe I try and grab a gyro a few times a year and was excited this was around the corner from me here! I like cold tea with my meal and that wasn't an option, it was a bottled and warm.“

“I ordered the Salmon plater it was fresh, the rice was so good and instead of hummus I ordered salad which was also great, and the thin bread omg it was amazing everything was delicious. The price it's right loved it!! I just started working around the area so I had a great experience it clean and smelled clean.“

“Best pizza in the Bay Area!“

“EXACTLY what I was looking for for breakfast! Feta, spinach, and mushroom omelet, with a fresh made blueberry scone. All were delicious! Husband had a chicken apple sausage breakfast pita with a piece of baklava, and it was all fantastic too. Service was great. Would absolutely eat here again!“

“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!“

“I love, love this little spot. They are fairly new to the area and I love them. Not only is the food always fresh, and packed with tons of flavor, and deliciousness, the staff is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. This is my new lunch favorite. The prices are phenomenal, especially for the area.“

“The service, the ambiance and the food.“

“I tried Turkish cuisine and was very satisfied. The dishes were rich, juicy and well balanced in taste. You can feel the traditional approach to cooking and high-quality ingredients.waiters were so nice and there was one young lady her name was Fynda omg she is so sweet and kind. JUST VISIT THIS PLACE“

“The BEST food in all San Francisco! The deal on uber right now (incomparable), especially for the quality of food. The staff make this restaurant extremely successful. Very consistent quality and such a great deal. I go almost every day. I think this is the restaurant that will give chipotle a run for their money as long as I can get 2 bowls for $19.28 - Absolutely affordable!“

“Awesome food and very friendly service! Love the location and big windows as well.“

“Charming mom and Pop place with good prices. We couldn’t believe how big the wraps were and they were absolutely delicious. Like I was in SHOCK! First wrap I really liked since moving to SF.
We got the deluxe wraps, chicken and beef. Both were great. You can tell they take the time to do things right and they even make sure to grill the outside of the wraps. And we loved the french fries and eggplant inside of it! What a fun touch.“

“Food was delicious. Vibe was laid back. Acoustics (ability to hear my companion) were good, although the restaurant wasn't completely full at the time. I ordered the shaksuka, which tasted great, but I didn't feel full afterwards. My friend ordered a brunch plate with eggs, lamb, salad, and potatoes and it was quite ample and delicious. I think I'll get that the next time I go there. This was my first time to this venue, and I definitely want to go back.“

“Our work just got us this pizza for lunch after a bike ride and I have to say as a square pizza lover; it was amazing. Not greasy, fresh ingredients even being delivered and amazing cheesy-crust edges. 5 stars pizza for sure. Btw the staff was able to accommodate a pizza for 35 people with very little notice. Sadly I ate it all before taking a pic!“

“Was hungry after just driving around from San Francisco and saw this yellow place so we stopped really friendly staff the food was great and the place was clean so thank you so much for a great experience“

“Great food lovely location“

“Private club, but can be used by members for business entertaining, unlike most. Quiet, nicely decorated, no oafs wearing baseball caps slobbering food at the next table.Regular food/wine special events with experts. Membership dues are quite reasonable.“

“First place he hit up, Gyro Express..it did not disappoint and it had brunch on a Friday and and bottomless!!“

“I smelled it before I got there no always looking for “the right food cooked by the right people!” I had a bowl with chicken which I could cut with a the plastic spoon 😍 with rice and lentils very flavorful too with the Israel salad all that flavor in one bowl was the best by far! My friend who’s vegan was very satisfied had a falafel bowl which she started eating as we walked down the street! She had smashed it by the time we made to the tables at Union Square. The food delicious the portions huge and the price right! On another note when we arrived they were out of rice and of course they made me some fresh very much appreciated ❤️“
