Grecian Cafe

My husband and I ordered for the first time yesterday. We ordered what was familiar to us, gyros combo. Then I saw the picture of the lamb chops and we decided to order those too. EVERYTHING was fantastic ! The Greek salad that came with the combo was sooooo fresh ! The the gyros meat was full of flavor. Also we ordered the hummus appetizer--- great ! We were truly impressed and look forward to going back. Last but not least, the customer service is wonderful.

We go here from time to time for lunch. The place is clean and the food is good. The prices are fair but what really puts it over to a five star is the lady that works there. She is so very nice. We just adore her. She takes orders, cooks, cleans always happy and friendly. Without her be a four. Thank you to whoever you are! I appreciate you!

The food here is AMAZING, and it's just the start! Everything tastes fresh and flavorful (although I do add more garlic and Seasonings to the hummus, to how my family likes it) but even our picky toddler (and I) love everything. Well, more like she's obsessed. We never feel too full/bloated/gross like from other takeout places. The family is extremely friendly and even gives my daughter little snacks when we come in. They are always very thankful and polite, there's plenty of leftovers for the next day (which means saving money) and they have cold beverages if you choose to eat in or while waiting for your order. The tables are beautiful, always clean, never too busy, and they have light music playing. There is also a couple tables outside, under the building overhang. The only reason I'm glad we don't live closer, is I know my wallet would hurt (even though they are very reasonably priced) Otherwise, we come here almost every time we are in the area.

Really good food! Came here to visit 2/24/2023. I ordered a gyro combo. It was good and the customer service is great. Fresh and on time. Call your order in ans it will be ready when you get there.

Best Greek chicken salad in the city. Portions are big and the chicken is marinated perfect and cooked to perfection. Call in orders in advance for pick up, wait time is typically about 20 minutes if you order there. It's delicious and staff is nice, I highly recommend

Was raised on Greek cuisine. Only tried a few things here my first visit. The gyros was good & very typical of these sorts of restaurants. The hummus had a great flavor but was, in my opinion, a tad thin (runny?) as opposed to thick, the way my mom made. The tzatziki was the best I've had in years. The pita bread was better than most places & the veggies were obviously fresh & in no short supply. An EXCELLENT overall experience. I'll DEFINITELY be going back there next time I'm eating in the area.

Love this place. Fresh, delicious salads. Gyro plate is so tasty, and a really fantastic value! I get 2 meals out of it. Family run, nice friendly service. Love supporting local businesses like this. Give them a try!!!!!

Love this little place. Great food. Excellent service and wonderful employees.

Best Greek food in San Diego hands down wonderful Greek family owned.

The gyro salad was very good. I went during lunch so there was no line and no wait. The salad was everything I expected.

Delicious and healthy. Can’t wait to go back, however, I have been here before. 5 stars. Parking can be challenging at times.

First time eating here and it's a really nice restaurant. I tried the chicken salad and it was very good. I waited about less than 10 minutes but I didn't mind. Their service was great. The price is reasonable. The restaurant is clean and organized. On a Friday lunch, it seems most people do takeout. I definitely recommend it and next time I'll try another item from the menu.

The #1 selling item on the menu is the Chicken Salad! 10/10 and a must try! Great portion and comes with a pita that is also amazingly fluffy and delicious! Everything is always made fresh and excellent customer service! You can also buy the dressing and make your own salads at home. Highly recommended!

Absolutely delicious! We tried this place out for the first time and just loved it! The owner is super nice and offered great recommendations for entrées. The environment was friendly and happy. The staff was super nice and accommodating. The food was so so so good!! The restroom was clean. Everything was perfect! Strongly recommend! A must!

Huge portions, divine food, you can definitely tell everything is homemade, very relaxing atmosphere. Tastes just like home to this homesick Mediterraneanite. Highly HIGHLY recommend.

Food is delicious! Very friendly service too. Look at the care they have even with a takeout platter! The lamb chops are some of the best I've ever had.

The food was delicious and the customer service was great. No complaints other than my dessert dances around a little bit on that parchment paper and plate.

I have eaten here a few times. Each experience was better than the one before. The Greek Chicken is FAR better than what you can get at a location in El Cajon. Salads are fresh, service is fast and friendly.

Oh my gosh! This is my new favorite place to eat! Everything we ate was delicious. Ill be back in a few days to try something else.

Delicious! I come here as often as possible and you should too! Locally owned and the best Gyro in this area. Give time a try, your won’t regret it.

The greek salad is fresh and taste great. The large salad easily feeds two people.

Amazing food and even better service! The chicken salad is unbeatable, and everything we’ve tried has been just as amazing as well. Family-owned for over 40 years with fresh ingredients every time. It gets busy, but it’s always worth the wait especially with the sweetest young lady up front!

Finally a Greek spot that doesn’t gyp you on portions. Gyros here are the real deal. Full of meat, tasty sauce, absolutely delicious. The couple that work here (could be the owners) are super polite and welcoming. This is my new Greek go-to.

No joke, my family's ordered food from Grecian Cafe for over 30 years now. While there's other options in the area, and we've tried them, they either give you less protein, cost more, are lower quality, or some combination of the three which is why we keep coming back. Okay, that and the family who owns it is really nice.

Food so delicious. I don’t think I’ve ever had better Greek food than Grecian cafes. Their gyros is so tasty and has amazing flavor. The chicken salad is so good and chicken souvlaki plate. It’s a family owned business and everyone there is so nice. The restaurant is clean and well kept.

I know this place over 20 years I used to live here and I used to come and get my excellent lunch. I feel it’s look like one of my family made this food. It’s really awesome. Maybe the building is too old but doesn’t matter what’s inside the building? It’s really really great. There is a lot of a fancy building, but they don’t make food like this at all. I recommend it to everyone.

Grecian cafe is seriously a hidden spring valley gem. I literally dream about the chicken Greek salad but everything on the menu is great. Family owned and operated, very welcoming spot. Will always recommend to everyone!!

We did take out. Big portions, delicious food. Will definitely be back.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place, they have the BEST Greek salads ever. This has now become my go to Friday night dinner spot. I believe this is a family own business and they are very friendly. I usually get my food to go but lately have chosen to stay so that I can enjoy my food right away. I have only tired their salads so I am unsure what else is good on their menu. The only down fall is they have random gnats. Other than that I recommend trying them out.

The portions here are BIG! I definitely enjoy their grilled chicken salad, it’s very filling and you can see them grill the chicken as you place your order. The only down side is that getting your order takes a while, try calling in your order about 30 minutes ahead during lunch hour.

The food was delicious, hot & fresh... The staff are very pleasant. However, there will be a wait because the food is prepared on spot. Call in will help your wait time. I definitely will be returning...

Ordered the spanakopita plate. The flavors were delicious. Loved the main dish, sides, and salad. That dressing is great!

Never really ate Greek Food before.... I really enjoyed it. I loved the Chicken Gyro. My wife loves the Chicken Salad with Pita Bread. I will be back.......Enjoy....

Taste and quality of food not as good they used to. Service is slow w/ long wait. Prices have gone up. The place used to sell gyro by the pound. Other medit eateries offer better value and service.

The food was great but after buying the food the service was terrible! I had to go to the front to get a refill of my soda they didn't check on us afterwards but the food made up for it I guess

We decided we wanted Greek food and our favorite Greek restaurant just closed after about 50 years (J-K's Greek Cafe) so we went to the Grecian Cafe because it was just about the same distance away. Food was okay as it always had been but not stellar like J-K's or Troys Greek Cafe on Mission Gorge. This time I got a stomach ache from the excess garlic, but I expected that. The thing that really upset my stomach was that I was charged for using my credit card. This is a show stopper. It is known as the cost of doing business. Maybe you should have integrated that fee into your pricing like most other businesses do. But now the real issue, you most likely had already done that, now you have just added this fee as gravy to your bottom line. Most people will not even notice this. So in the future we may get food from here but will be paying cash and will most likely be going to Troy's where we are not conned into extra fees.

The Lamb was good. That's it. The customer service was very serious and not friendly (specially when you have questions). They charge 50-$1.00 for a tiny side of sauce on the side and it's bland. The salads are plain and bland too. I believe this place is a rip off and they exaggerate as if their food is top notch cuisine. $17.50 for 1 Gyro, 1 Small fries and 1 Small Hummus (sour, maybe expired). It's close to home and I love Greek food but it's such a shame they seem to belong on an episode of Kitchen Nightmares. Quit being cheap & rude. You're welcome for the money I wasted.

We have eaten here for at least 20 years and it was always great. This week, was the last time I will ever be back. Everyone used to be very friendly, now the ladies inside are rude and slow. Prices are going up, quality is going way down. Often find entire stems from lettuce in my salads and last night at 5pm, they served me the last remnants of old gyros meat that had been cooked, no fresh meat was on the spinning roaster. I had to wait 45 minutes (twice the time they told me over the phone) for 4 gyros sandwiches and 2 salads...that is unreasonable even with cooking everything fresh (which it was not...old salted gyros meat). After spending $70 on food, I asked for an extra salad dressing and they said I had to pay extra...this place has gone WAY down hill. Disappointed in the service and the quality of the food has been deteriorating for months. Never going back.

The owner or employee park in the disabled spot next to it. It wasn't a parking spot. It was the side you get out of if you're get out on the passenger side. I was parked the and was disappointed the this place would do that. She did go behind the counter were they fix the food. Some people think there special. 🤔

I eat here often and I used to enthusiastically recommend this place to so many people, but my sister recently tried ordering from a man on the phone and was treated very rudely. Food is great but with bad treatment, it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Won’t be recommending this place or dining there anymore.
