5 Best Greek Restaurants near Pacific Grove

“I frequent both Petra Restaurant and Petra Cafe. Recently, we took a party of 12 friends to the restaurant and all of our friends thanked us! The Gyro is hands down the BEST I’ve ever eaten and my absolute favorite. Whether you order the kafta or a steak, both are flavorful and so tender. Some kafta can be dry, not this one! Their falafel is the best too, really. Our friends loved the lamb shank and said it was so tender and delicious. Be sure to have tea or a Turkish coffee with the baclava! From the first bite of the baclava you’ll find your tongue floating in a sea of honey. The tea service is beautiful. From writing this review I’m ordering for take out right now! I encourage you to dine in as the experience is really like dining in the chef’s home. I just love it.“

“Go here and eat the lamb. It's that simple. Excellent space with cool ambiance. Exceptional service. Friendly and fast but not rushed. I had the lamb shank and one of my buddies had the lamb Kebab. Both were perfection in different ways. The Shank is so tender from the long braise and still has its deep rich flavor. I got it with the potatoes au gratin that were great with the demi glace. The Kebab was more steaky and more appropriate for a less adventurous palate. Cooked to order and tender but more toothsome than the shank. Will return when i'm down from the city next.“

“Gyro bowl is the way to go! My favorite thing there, they pack the bowls enough for two meals. I typically share it wit my son. The chicken is always super tender and loaded with alot of meat. The spicy yogurt sauce is my favorite. The rice is always perfectly cooked and I always get extra rice. The service is always super fast, Its way better option for fast food. Nice and clean inside.“
