23 Best Greek Restaurants near Stanford

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

“Evvia is and has always been one of the best if not the best restaurant in the Bay Area. Consistently good food and excellent service! Celebrated Mother's Day there and then our Anniversary. We were treated like special guests on both occasions:)“

“It was my first time here! Mine and my lady’s. And David, the cashier, was AMAZING! Outstanding customer service the best I have seen since I have been in Stanford. I will definitely be back. He made us feel welcomed and he walked me through the menu, not a lot of cashiers do that. David deserves a raise!!! 100 stars to David!!! Thanks to David, we will be back!“

“Our favorite place to go for Greek food! Birthdays, anniversaries, or just Friday night we are often enjoying the souvlaki, horiatiki salad, or saghanaki

Plus it feels very authentic - for example all their feta is real imported feta!

Service is also exceptional. Love their staff“

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

“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!“

“Great foood. Great service. Will go back. First time visit.“

“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.“

“I ordered my lunch from this place through Uber Eats, and the pork gyro was absolutely fantastic. It arrived hot and freshly made, with everything perfectly balanced — tender, well-seasoned meat wrapped in warm pita bread along with fresh tomatoes, onions, tzatziki, and fries. The portion size was just right — filling without feeling overly heavy. I really loved it and would definitely order again.

To finish the meal, I also tried their frozen yogurt with honey and baklava. The portion was a bit large for me, but the yogurt itself tasted genuinely like yogurt rather than being overly sweet or sugar-loaded. The addition of honey and baklava added a nice layer of flavor and richness. Next time, I might try the plain yogurt for a lighter option.

Update: went back for a gyro bowl. Very feeling and refreshing. Finished the meal with some Greek style donuts. They were warm and soft and very little on sweet, although soaked in syrup. A must try.“

“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.“

“I still like Nick the Greek after coming here on and off for years. The only thing is the inconsistency between locations. At my local spot they offer a small cup of tzatziki with the kids meals but not at the mall location. Also, the rewards are very limited. I’d love to get a drink with my points for example.“

“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!“

“Dolmades and spanakopita was decent but pricey for what you get. I think their baklava is commercially made and they just repackage it. No atmosphere to speak of. Service was ok. Saturday evening at 6:15 and I was the only person in the place. Next time I am going to do the Gyro or Beef souvlaki.“

“Amazing food & service, excellent atmosphere“

“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.“

“Great food and even better service. I ordered the chicken kebab plate. It's a healthy portion. I also received a free cream of mushroom soup from the owner. He checked on me several times to see if I needed anything. I would highly recommend this place.“

“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!“

“the best chicken Caesar salad and garlic toast - love this Newark location and vibe!“

“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!“

“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.“

“big beers, good German beers, for a good price“
