Greek Food in San Francisco

“Ordered a bunch of mezes with my friend as dinner but we couldn’t finish them. The portions are good sized, everything was very tasty. Also, they have the best lamb ribs! I also really enjoyed the service.”

“Great quality food. Fresh. Authentic Greek food. Lamb shank was out of this world. A must visit”

“Had an amazing dinner at The Parthenon in San Francisco with two friends and wow, everything was 🔥! The pita bread with hummus was the perfect start, and the Avgolemono soup was cozy and flavorful 🍋🍲. The zucchini fritters were crispy perfection, and the drinks (Ashk!) were smooth and paired so well 🍷. We tried both chicken and steak souvlaki so juicy and packed with flavor and the Greek pasta was a total standout 🍝. Finished off with baklava topped with vanilla ice cream and it was divine 🍯🍨. Incredible food, awesome vibes—definitely going back soon! 🙌🇬🇷”

“Visiting the area for a work conference and found this cool place! I ordered the dolmas and avgolemono. The dolmas had a unique twist to the flavor and the soup was hot and creamy with great balance of flavor. Both were good portion sizes for the cost. The service was extremely attentive and quick. I loved the ambience. Would visit again!”

“Best Greek food I have ever had! Greek wine flight to experience something different; spanakopita was amazing! Highly recommend.”

“Spectacular Greek food. We’ve had Greek food all over the world, including in Greece and this is absolutely one of the best meals we’ve ever had. (Sorry Symposium New York City). The service was excellent and very helpful. The atmosphere is upscale diner, but with nice touches and decorations that made it a wonderful atmosphere.”

“The best hummus I have ever had! Staff and service top notch.”

“Amazing Mediterranean cuisine! I had the lamb chops and they were absolutely delicious — perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. The food overall was excellent. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the ambiance was perfect — cozy, elegant, and relaxing. Highly recommend this place, and I will definitely be back!”

“A quick lunch led us into this magical fresh farmed eggplant and hummus meze led us into the gyro melting in our mouth - thank you Parthenon!”

“This was my 2nd Mousakka meal of the week…fabulous thank you. The first was a group of 4 dining in, and this last one a take out eaten back in my hotel room. You’re in my plans for next January’s trade show 👍🏼”

“I love Greek food. Not just gyros and baklava, I love all kinds of Greek food. It's been a long time since I had any that impressed me the way .y meal at The Parthenon did. Having actual Greek beer enhanced the experience, but the Moussaka was sublime and... yes, I did have baklava, which was superb. The place is cozy and has a really nice feel to it. You definitely need reservations for dinner, but lunch allows you to walk right in. Very impressed with the ambience, service, and particularly the food.”

“We ate at the Parthenon on February 16, before going to a show at the Opheum. We were a little late because our walk from BART was through the crowd for the Chinese New Year Parade, but they honored our 5:00 reservation at 5:23, and we got a lovely table. I had the Salmon, my wife had the Pork Chop and our nine-year-old daughter had the Feta Pasta (described as Greek Alfredo). Everything was amazing and we can't wait to go again. Thank you!”

“Excellent, fresh and authentic greek food (and I come from the Middle East, I'd know :) ). My Steak Souvlaki was delicious, the waiter was kind and professional, would definitely be coming back here!”

“I had such a great experience here. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The grilled lamb and the saganaki were amazing The atmosphere feels cozy and authentic The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better❤️ Perfect spot for dinner with friends, a date night, or even just to treat yourself to something special. Highly recommend this place — it’s one of those restaurants you visit once and instantly want to come back to.”

“The service at Parthenon was outstanding! The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel like family. The food was absolutely delicious—especially the lamb chops, which were perfectly seasoned and tender. The lamb souvlaki was fresh and flavorful, and the Spanakopita had the perfect balance of crispy phyllo and creamy filling. Highly recommend this place for an authentic Greek dining experience.”

“Walked in around 6p on a Thursday night and were seated promptly. The service was outstanding! Answered all our questions and requests with a friendly smile. 10/10 recommend the Greek Salad with keftedes (beef meatball) which was seasoned perfectly and a side of the tzatziki 👩‍🍳💋”

“The food, service and atmosphere all exceeded our expectations. We had chicken and steak skewers, hummus, Greek fries, and Greek salad. All food was amazing. The service was spectacular from the moment we walked in the door until we left. We would highly recommend. Samira was amazing.”

“Really enjoyed the food here. We tried the spanakopita and zucchini cakes, and both were very good. The spanakopita was crispy and flavorful, and the zucchini cakes were especially nice with the sauce on the side. Everything tasted fresh and the portions were good. Would definitely order these again.”

“Parthenon Restaurant is a true neighborhood gem serving authentic Greek food with great flavor and consistency. The dishes are fresh, generous, and clearly made with care. What really stands out is the hospitality. The owner, Cem, is welcoming and attentive, making every visit feel personal and comfortable. If you’re looking for excellent Greek food and genuine service in San Francisco, Parthenon is a great choice. 🇬🇷”

“I enjoyed lunch at the Parthenon today. The chicken souvlaki was delicious, served with fresh vegetables that were cooked perfectly. The hummus was also very good. The food was high quality, home style cooking. The waitress was very friendly, kind, and made me feel welcome. The owner was also very friendly and spoke with each table. It’s refreshing to have good food in a friendly environment, and I look forward to eating here again soon.”
