Cafe Graikos

Okay so this place was really good. Andrew and Tammy took care of us and recommended things off the menu. The portions were generous and they were flexible in giving us what we wanted. We will be back!

Came here with friends, the waitress Tammy was beyond friendly, checked in with us and make sure we were always satisfied! I would definitely come back here just to be helped by her!

Never disappoints, everything I’ve ordered has been fresh and taste phenomenal. For me it’s a treat to come here. Love the vibe and great service.

The food is great. I enjoyed my sandwich and everyone else raved about what they ordered. But it’s the stellar service we got from Janice that should earn this place 10 stars. (Keep her! Pay whatever she asks for!) We came in with a group of 9 adults and 3 kids and she was pleasant and quick and accommodating the entire time we were there. Overall, the staff and location have a relaxed and friendly vibe and we didn’t feel like interlopers for lingering after our meal.

This has to be the best Greek food I have tasted in awhile. The Spanakopita was so good. Although I wasn’t a fan of the Avgolemono soup, the lima bean soup made up for it. Since I have a Vegetarian that I dine with, I try to be mindful of her needs and this place has regular meat items as well as Vegetarian and Vegan.
I was there with my 2 girls. 18 and 4 and it was a weekday so there was only 1 other party there. The waitress was incredibly kind and nice and full of smiles. She up with my oldest grumpy pants and youngest that still needs some refinement on public behavior.
We ordered the Feast for 2 and WOW was it a lot of food. So at least it was worth the $ 35. It was great because the 3 of us ate, and then I still had food to take home to the hubs… like a LOT of food still. I know he was probably incredibly happy. I guess that’s why it’s called a feast!
I took lots of photos and posted them. Enjoy.

Small location, next to Whole Foods. Gyros and Greek salad were both good. Nice place for a lunch or low key dinner.

I want to get back to writing mostly good reviews because I try to be a nice guy over all. I also want to write honest reviews too though, so, it’s rare that a review will be as glowing as this one. I’ve been eating here occasionally when I work in the area for awhile. The food has always been great. I love the Chicken Skordalia-​the garlic sauce is very nice, many I appreciate the vegetable sides-doesn’t make me feel so guilty about the big portions. Most of all, the two wait people here, Tammy and Janice were so nice. They were professional, but very genuinely kind too. I really appreciated such nice customer service after a hard work day. I hope they always get big tips :) Oh, the Rice Pudding is amazing too… ill watch my figure tomorrow I guess.

CON:
–Got food poisoning here
–overpriced food
–Poor customer service from manager and staff
PRO:
–its by whole foods. Next time ill eat there instead.
Got food poisoning from this place a week ago.
I had dirrhea, abdominal cramps, and was nauseous and vomitting the next day. I had to call in sick for work.
When i spoke to the manager he wasn’t helpful and came off aggressive. He wouldn’t believe that i could get sick at his restaurant. He said it takes 12 hours for someone to get food poisoning. Incorrect, it can be as soon as 4 hours. (
). He said his chicken gyros dish (their most popular dish) is precooked so it couldn’t have caused food poisoning. (Food handling and storage of precooked meats can cause food contamination,
).
The manager would not give me a refund. Because, I didn’t have a recite but i had $ 53 worth of food that i purchased from there that i was ready to show him, half wasn’t eaten because i was going to bring it to work for lunch the next day. Gyros chicken, and some sort of chicken lemon dish and humus. I told the manager i can bring in the food i purchased, b/​c i didn’t touch or eat half of it. And that Andrew the waiter would remember that i came in. The manager replied by saying he couldn’t tell if it was his restaurant food or any other food. (He doesn’t know how his own dishes look like? I didn’t touch half of it. They were still in the to go bags).
Throughout the conversation with the manager it was evident that he didn’t want to rectify the situation. He didn’t want to admit someone could get sick at his restaurant. And he refused a refund.
Overall: very unhappy. I hope nobody else gets sick here.

I visited last week. I was planning on going to the Whole Foods and didn’t want to enter the store hungry. I had done a quick Unilocal search to see what was good in that area. They had just received a 5 star review not an hour beforehand. I want to tell you my experience.
Our server’s name was Andrew and he was swamped he was serving every table by himself but you never would have known it. All needs were met all desires fulfilled. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and was able to cater to our tastes through a few simple questions. I would absolutely recommend this place not just for the flavor or the authenticity but for the sheer fact of customer service and leaving happy with a full belly.

The best greek food around. Absolutely love the service and food! Roger is a great great waiter we love him!

I tried this place out once and never went back. The food tastes horrible here. Maybe they need to work on their recipes more cuz they didn’t taste Greek at all.

First let me say if you are vegetarian you won’t be disappointed in the food. It was good. But if you want non-​veg forget it. I ordered the beef souvlaki and it was so so bland. My Daughter ordered the chicken souvlaki and the same thing. I asked the waitress if the chef seasons his food she went to check and came back with no he doesn’t…not even salt and pepper! So if you like bland meat dishes that are priced way way to high for this «non-​tablecloth» place then this sort of place is for you. Even the veg dishes way overpriced. Hope this helps.

Come here with the family from time to time. Always get the veggie options. Wish the atmosphere was a little better. Maybe some new deco & music. Prices are a bit pricey. Service is flustered and very selective. Soda always seems a bit watered down not much carbonation. Falafel are bomb. pita is really good too. I unsubscribed to emails because they never send coupons and jus end up in spam again Falafel are bomb lol

The food is OK, but nothing to write home about, I was disappointed because I ordered shish kbob and within 5 minutes i got my order. It tasted like they just heated up my meal in the microwave. The entire plate was super hot and the vegtables were mushy like they had been over nuk’ed. If i want microwave greek food i will go to trader joes and pay half. Price is too high for what you are getting.

Price is too high for what you are getting.

I would not recommend this place. We ended up here because we were craving Mediterranean food and our regular place across the street was closed. The hummus was alright, the tzatziki was good, but our kebab was disgusting! The chicken seemed like it was frozen and from a bag and cooked in the microwave. There were steamed vegetables that had no flavor and it was just weird to have them on your plate. with mediterranean food. We took two bites of our entrée and sent back the rice because it was freezing cold. By the time we got a replacement, we were grossed out and couldn’t eat anything. We ended up having to pay $ 72 + tip for a meal that was gross and left uneaten.

5 scrawny pieces of meat and a salad for $ 18. If I wasn’t desperate today, I wouldn’t have ordered from here. The food isn’t bad, but come on guys, make it a better value — we’d be there all the time! Just feels like you’re taking us for all we got. Not cool.

I have been wanting to try this place for the longest time. I only have to blame myself for missing out on such good Greek food!
My friends know the owner and have been telling me to try the food, since I love Greek food et al! So, appropriately enough Memorial Weekend, after the Greek Festival, we decided to head to this great Greek café! What can I say: I loved the food and then some; I kind of knew the food will be good, I just didn’t think it will be this good!
So we had Graikos feast, and it was delectable! The iman-​bayeendi was one of the best I’ve had, and trust me I have had many. Their version had cilantro, I think– very tasty! The hummus dishes — we tried a variety– were super delicious. And that saganaki — whoa!- Now that is one appetizer not to be missed, it the fried cheese!
The service was really good, and I like that there was plenty of parking, all which add to the experience. I also like the décor for a café, it was elegant. (Except for the bathroom, that needs some fix-​me-​up.)
So, if you like Greek food, you should try this place,… yeah, you will be hooked!

If i was allowed to do half stars, I would give this place 3.5 but I’ll be nice and round it up.
I have been here a handful of times and have somewhat mixed feelings about this place.
The service has been good the majority of the time but there have been occasions where it is not so great. There is one waiter in paticular who is very nice and very attentive but twice now they have sent him home after we recieved our meals, including our last visit. After he left we never saw a server again until our check was brought. I wanted my drink refilled so this kind of bothered me. All the waiters were tending to other tables or just hanging around in the back of the restaurant. They should not have sent our waiter home if nobody was able to take care of us.
My only other complaint is with the man who I believe to be the owner and/​or manager… everytime we dine he is in there standing in the back but has never greeted us and upon leaving never acknowledges us or thanks us for coming. I walked past him twice when going to the bathroom and he just had this very stern look on his face and didn’t acknowledge my prescence. In a small restaurant like this I expect managers and owners to come over to the table and ask how our meal is and I expect them to be the most gracious of all the staff so this really bothers me. However, the food and waiter service are generally good enough to overlook his rudeness.
The food has always been consistently good. I have enjoyed every dish I have had and they have some of the best falafel I have ever had (i am not usually a fan of falafel.) The spanakopita is delicious as is the pastichio. The grilled shrimp and salmon are both very good although the salmon can sometimes be a bit overcooked in my opinion. I like the complimentary pita and how you can get a small side of hummus for only 85 cents. I also enjoy the orange slices that seem to come with every dish. We have always beem too full to order dessert but they seem to have some nice options.
The ambiance is lovely and it is not normally too crowded so the noise level is low. The food has always come out in a timely manner and never feels rushed, which is great.
We always go home with full bellies and left overs.
As far as prices, I do think that some dishes are overpriced. However they do have coupons on their website that you can print out and bring in. You must print them out, they will not take coupons shown on your phone.
Overall, this is a decent Greek restaurant and one of the best in the valley. It can be a little pricey and the service can be hit or miss but the food will not disappoint. It is definitely worth going to.

When it comes to consistent, tasty Greek food, Café Graikos always delivers. We’ve been coming here for a few decades and never had a bad experience. The food is always made to order, everything tastes fresh and you can bank on corners not being cut. Care goes into every main course as well as the sides and the portions are epic.
Meanwhile, if you’re in a hurry, either call your order in ahead of time, or go somewhere else. They want you to enjoy your meal here. Therefore, no table is ever rushed. In fact, it takes a while for food to arrive at your table. And, if you want the bill, you might have to go to the counter and ask for it. The staff is so laid back, they allow you to take your time, even if you want to leave in a hurry. Come with patience and you’ll enjoy every bite.
Let’s dive into the food, which is fresh, delicious and healthy and for you vegetarian and vegans, there’s a home here for you, too. Large veggie/​vegan selections are available. Fortunately, I’m not one of those and order the keftaides plate, which is a tasty portion of lean ground beef mixed with an array of spices. The Sampler Platter is a go-​to option too, allowing you to try a skewer of chicken and lamb. All the wraps and pitas
I’m not a vegetarian, but my friend is, and raved about her veggie combo. It had a wide variety of items from grape leaves, to stuffed eggplant to lentil pilaf and is enough to feed a few vegetarians (or eat the rest the next day). Yes, there’s that much food.
The sides impress, too. Fortunately, they steam the broccoli and carrots and don’t drown them in butter. And, the falafel isn’t greasy. Keep in mind, you aren’t coming here for cheap food. The prices aren’t established to turn mass amount of food, they reflect care and flavor, and mass amount of food. You get what you pay for here and for what you’re given, and the quality you’re getting a bargain, which starts with either awesome Lentil or lima bean soup or a fresh salad.
