Absolutely great family run Grecian restaurant! Portions are huge and prices are fair. Friendly service, and close to Mount Helix and Spring Valley. Highly recommend! read more

First time here. I'm a huge fan of Greek and wanted to try a new place. After reading the reviews I was excited. I ordered the Greek chicken salad and the gyro sandwich. Honestly I was super disappointed in my salad- 2 cucumbers, 2 tomatoes and 2 pitted Kalamata olives and the smallest amount of feta cheese. For a large salad I felt this was very inadequate and for the fact that it was $17+ dollars. The chicken had good flavor. My understanding is that white and yellow onions are for cooking and red is for raw consumption, this gyro was packed with white raw onion and the outer skin. I called and the girl was nice and offered to remake my salad and expressed that I could have asked for more veggies on my salad, had I asked. If you're getting a salad make sure you check it before you leave. I politely declined the offer for a remade salad. read more

I am thrilled to announce that I found the BEST FRENCH FRIES I have EVER HAD! My husband and I stopped for an early dinner. I ordered the Gyros sandwich and he got the Chicken sandwich. We both got fries with that. I took one bite of the fries and found that they were PERFECT! Hot, Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and just the right amount of salt. Not a single soggy one like other places. Well done, but not over done. The sandwiches were also delicious. We will be back for more. The staff was wonderful as well. read more

I learned about this place over a year ago and was happy to support this small family business. The first couple of orders were great. Food was decent. Then, with every subsequent order --- a couple or three --- there was price discrepancy between the menu and the receipt. When I brought it up to Rita, who takes orders and payments at the register, she said there was price change. I noticed that it became more of a pattern, so I decided to stop getting food at the Grecian Cafe in Spring Valley for several months. Then, I thought I'd give them another chance today, so I called to place an order. Again, Rita answered the phone, gave me the price for each item, and took the order. I must've repeated the order and the price for each item five or six times. Rita confirmed the price every single time I repeated it. When it was time to pick up my order, RITA DID IT AGAIN. When I confronted her she didn't deny having told me a different price but would not honor her word. Rita at Grecian Cafe in Spring Valley is a very dishonest person. Check prices and your receipt when you order from this place. read more

Sorry this is a no for me. My mom had mentioned this place had good chicken lemon soup so I tried it out. I was not a fan of the soup at all. The celery and lemon were too potent. I ordered a chicken Greek salad as well. I didn't think to ask if the chicken would be white or dark meat because I've only seen Greek salads with chicken breast. I had to throw the chicken out because my stomach cannot tolerate dark meat. Salad was decent but I ended up throwing away the soup and protein. The taziki is also lacking something maybe garlic? read more

The french fries were soggy, I think old oil. They smelled kind of burnt but were limp. some of the lettuce was old. some of the pita bread was really hard and dry. what a shame for having to pay so much for so little, the gyros did taste good. I don't understand why there is no quality control. it's all about the profit. read more

Food is delicious. Been eating there for over 30 years. Family favorite and price is right

My husband and I had lunch here today for the first time and we were very impressed with the food! We got the Gyro sandwich and the Philly Cheesesteak on a roll, along with the Fried Zucchini. Everything was so tasty and came out in a timely manner. The service was very friendly, and the ambiance was nicely decorated and made us feel welcome. We will definitely be back again and recommend it very highly! read more

This has to be one of the best Greek cute and cozy restaurants ever! This family dining spot has been around since I first moved to San Diego. I have been dining here and having their food catered for all occasions. They take pride in cooking flavorful and tasty Greek dishes to tantalize all taste buds. You can always depend on consistent, fresh, flavorful, and very delicious entrees! They also have delicious traditional Greek desserts like the powdered-sugar cookies and Baklava. They are always professional and friendly with their customers making them feel right at home! They also do a fantastic job making sure their restaurant is clean which makes a big difference to me! Grecian Cafe is an excellent dining idea anytime! Award-Winning Greek dining one must experience! Tell them Carla referred you! read more

Enjoyed a quiet, solo lunch here on a Monday. Plenty of indoor and some outdoor seating. Lots of sunlight. Service was friendly and efficient. Just one or two dine-in customers, but steady flow of takeout orders. Spanikopita filling had great flavor, fresh dill, spinach and feta. The phyllo was a little overdone, but at least it wasn't greasy. Delicious falafel! Great portions! Glad I ate here. read more

I ordered take out, I ordered a #3 Combo with a Lemon chicken soup, and a grilled chicken pita. And a drink. I got home and ate , I was super happy lemon chicken soup hit the spot since I was sick, flavor was great, had enough chicken and soup consistency was thick and not runny, and the pita had so much chicken , I had enough for a second meal. Wish they would have added more veggies as well but I was fine with the amount of chicken they added. I will be back again. Thank you and the price for the amount was great. Come support this mom and pop shop. read more

I love this café, best Greek food around. Been coming here for close to 30 years. Very friendly people and quality ingredients!

I've been coming here for years and it's always amazing. Literally one of my favorite places to eat ever!! I like to get the super combo because it has the gyro meat, chicken souvlaki and spanakopita on top of the rice and the salad on the side. I love the tzatziki sauce and the salad dressing too. I think it was like $20. And it lasts me 2-3 meals every time!! So it's very well worth it! My daughter always gets the 21 shrimp and fries and it's so gooood. read more

Small restaurant, not that well kept, some parts of the restaurant are pretty dirty and was hoping it did not translate to the food. The plate came out semi warm. It is served on a huge bed of rice. Rice is lacking in flavor, pita bread kind of cold and tastes generic like it was frozen, tzatziki sauce has no flavor, chicken was fresh and hot but it needs more seasoning it tasted only like burnt charcoal. Comes with a salad and salad has way too much vinegar, the lettuce was literally soaked wet from vinegar. read more

The food here is very good but their prices are getting out of hand almost 40.00 for 2 large chicken salads , went a couple days ago and they have a note saying all chicken dishes going up by 2.00 because of chicken prices but chicken prices have not went up that much at all so to gouge people 2.00 per dish which is an extra 6-8 dollars per pound is ridiculous read more

Some of the best Greek food I've had. Good bang for your buck too. My favorite is the gyro plate.

Best gyro I have had in California ever. The fries were on point. The tzatziki sauce is also the best I have ever had in California. Another great mom and pop joint that I will be looking forward to eating at in house as take out was fantastic. read more

Amazing food. Friendly people. The Greek salad is probably the best around town. Gyro etc. is good.

Every time I go I have to get a chicken Greek salad. They are always on point. Service is good and the restaurante is clean.

I have never seen moussaka topped with red sauce. The soup was the color of egg yolks with a stringing glutinous texture.

We have been coming here for a couple years now the food is amazing!! the young girls that work here are the sweetest they always know our order , the owners are so nice every time we bring our kids the lady / owner always gives my kids some candy if you haven't given this spot a try go for it you won't be disappointed! read more

Best food in town! I have introduced my parents to the Grecian cafe and they literally come every 2 days because it's that good! Great food and super friendly staff! Highly recommend read more

Absolutely LOVE the Grecian Cafe. My go to spot when I'm in town and craving Greek food. The family that owns the place is really nice and welcoming. They make a wonderful Greek salad (ask for extra olives if you're an olive lover like me). I also love their Dalmas as well as the Gyro's here. Parking can be a little tight but usually there's atleast one spot available. read more

Excellent and delicious Greek cuisine! Combo plate more than plentiful! Service A+++++! Eat in or take out!

This place is OG San Diego and while everything is delicious, I think their gyro sandwiches, both the chicken and regular gyro meat, are the best! The tzatziki is delicious--I think a lot of places have too much garlic in their tzatziki, but theirs is just right. I tried the lemon soup, and it was also really good! It was very lemony and refreshing. My absolute favorite thing we ordered was the baklava! I've had a lot of baklava in my life and it was better than any I've had before. I love everything from this a cafe, and the food is consistently delicious. The employees were very helpful and kind, and this cafe gets really busy, which is a testament of the love people have for this place. read more
