This place was packed during lunch- but nothing really wowed. The food was over priced and the flavors were just not there. Everything was overly sauced, which in my eyes seemed more like an attempt to cover up poor dishes. Will not be back. read more

so I have been coming here for years and today I found a bug in my food. I called and all the owner said was I'm sorry. No offer for a refund or nothing. I don't think I'll be returning. read more

Hands down the best Mediterranean food I've ever had! The buffet had some really good options. The fries were easily the best fries I've ever had, they were dipped in ranch and sauce and tasted amazing! Service was amazing as well and location is perfect, just a few blocks away from the Capitol building! This place is a must-have for anyone looking for authentic Mediterranean food! read more

It is true that the hummus sucks and the falafel is dry but there are several very tasty chicken dishes. As far as downtown goes this place is pretty good. read more

$7.99 for a huge falafel wrap - yum!

First time I went there, Mediterranean fries were awesome and fresh. Yesterday I went for just fries and was very disappointed.

Always great for a quick lunch. The buffet is decent for the price and I can't say that's the best thing to go there for. Very good selection of food for the Heath cautious population. Highly recommend the wraps personal favorite is the Chicken cesar wrap. I have never tried the salad bowls they seem to be a big hit. read more

I have gone here twice for lunch. First time I got the lamb gyros which was very dry! Second time I got the chicken sumac which I loved! The spice on the chicken (sumac) is a citrus kind of flavor which I love. It came with generous amount of salad, rice and chicken and two pieces of pita bread. The yogurt sauce for the chicken I believe was yummy!! I also loved the red vinaigrette for the salad. One big downside is the wait. Both times we waited for quite awhile that we did not really have time to dine in either times. However both times were busy which is always a good sign to me because it tells you the restaurant is good but I wish I could dine in sometime! I noticed they had a lunch buffet which I didnt notice before and I would love to try sometime! That way I can get a taste of many different good eats =) Not sure how it works though so that is a turn off =/ I didnt see a sign read more

HOLY COW! This place is fantastic. I would have never really noticed it from the outside, but I as so hungry, this particular day that I spotted it and ran to it. The food is VERY well cooked, and dear Pete, the portions! read more

This is very authentic food for a really low price. Doesn't get any better than this, and the service is top notch as well. If you're looking for a bite to eat, or a solid dining experience then this is the way to go in Downtown Sacramento! read more

Best service and even better food! The nachos are amazing, not your regular nachos but definitely something everyone should try.

Beat Mediterranean food in Sac!!! Great service & even better nachos. The owners are super welcoming and made sure that my party had everything that we needed. read more

Best chicken and rice I've ever had. Really great buffet. I'd definently come back here again.

Amazing food. I had a falafel wrap and I ordered a side of fries. I could not finish it all. I also love the presentation of the other plates (I went with friends). Everything was great. They didn't take long either. If you have a kid or someone who doesn't eat spicy food, specify that you don't want spice on your food. read more

This little cafe was surprising. We went in there expecting cheap mediocre gyros. What we received was much different. We were warmly greeted by a very sweet woman, who gave us excellent recommendations and conversed sincerely with us. Immediately after ordering, we received a plate of lavash bread and babaganoush, on the house. My husband had a lamb gyro wrap that was so tender and flavorful...and I don't even like lamb! On top of that, but it was huge! It was at least a foot long stuffed with lamb, romaine, tomatoes, a light garlicky vinegarette and a rich creamy yogurt sauce. He could only finish half! Very filling. I ordered the garlic chicken with a small salad and rice, by the recommendation of the chef. Let me tell you, I love rice. Brown rice, white rice, jasmine rice, wild rice... Whatever! This was the best rice I have ever had. It was fluffy, not grainy at all, cooked perfectly, will a pinch of spice on top. I also received the yogurt sauce, which worked perfectly with the chicken. Here was my perfect bite: rice and chicken with a touch of the yogurt sauce, followed by the light salad covered with that tasty vinegarette. And lastly, their baklava was completely different than any other that I have tasted. It was barely sweet, very buttery, flaky and had an almost cheesy taste to it. We could not put our fingers on what it was, but I do know this: it was yummy!!! read more

See all

Great food. Love their nachos-very unusual. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because of their hours of operation on the weekend. read more

I had the chicken shwarma, and it was awesome! Great flavor and generous portions.

I love their food and service is good most times. I am a frequent customer and refer many people here, even encouraging some fellas debating whether or not to come in on a busy day. Had a less than pleasant customer experience on Friday. I decided to order food to go through GrubHub and when I arrived, I asked a young lady next to the counter if I should get into line for the register or just pick up since I had already paid. She rudely dismissed me and told me to just go to the register, so I waited in line for several minutes. Then a man came in and showed her his phone to get his to go order. I returned to her and she was extremely rude, telling me "what's the name," I gave her my name, she rudely said "No, not that!" telling me to just go, as she waved her hand for me to leave. I was surprised by her behavior and the nice man at the register came over and finally located my food and handed it to me. Also, at a work luncheon the day before, the staff kept circling our table to take our plates, one plate was even removed before one of our guests was finished. Please work on this, Crest, I love your food, but will not continue to return if I have another bad customer service experience. read more

This is a Mediterranean joint with great food selections & presentation. Our party of 3 ordered Chicken Sumac, Garlic Chicken and Falafel. The food looks exactly like the ad presented, so A+ for that! We liked the long grain rice so much that we ordered one to-go (unconventional, I know) would come again for lunch & dinner. read more

Ok all I have to say is Pita Nachos!!! At fist glance this place doesnt look too amazing but looks will deceive. Thee sandwiches and hummus and gyros are very very good. My favorite item is actually not on the menu, but if you ask for it they will make it. Pita Nachos are hands down the best thing ever. Homemade pita chips, curried chicken, feta, tomatoes and taziki and other amazing sauces. Best thing ever read more

Nice little place near downtown plaza..across from Pizza rock. I always get their chicken panini and it's always a hit! Thinly sliced breast meat with some lettuce and tomato and a slice of cheese always hits the spot. It comes with a nice ranch sauce. Their gyro wraps are also very good. We had their hummus and it was a total fail. Weird color and awkward taste..maybe it was a miss that day because it's usually pretty good. Its nice to be able to sit outside and eat on a beautiful day and do some people watching. Saw 3 weddings the last time we were there. Serve halal meat--just ask. Will be back. read more

My regular spot. I eat Greek food about 3-4 times a week. Best Greek food in the greater Sacramento area in my opinion. Portions are big and everything is priced fair. This is place is family ran, everyone is friendly. I usually just order my food to go. They see my number pop up on their caller ID, so they know exactly what I get. Chicken rice plate with extra chicken! read more

Order the chicken Kabob plate! The most tender chicken Kabob ever. Ask for the garlic sauce on the side. Mediterranean nachos and fries are amazing! read more

I come here for lunch a lot. I always get the Mediterranean Lunch Box. It's basically a Greek version of the Chipotle Burrito Bowl. Greek is Mediterranean right? Probably. Either way, it's delicious. But you'll want a breath mint afterwards. The garlic is no joke. read more

Out of all the Greek places I've tried on sacramento, this place is at the top. The house chicken is amazing and the sauce is soo yummy! The portions are generous and always cooked to perfection! Delicious and a must try! read more

Love this place! Been here 3 times and I always get the chicken shawarma. It's very filling, I feel like they even made the portions bigger than they used to be. The lady who works there is very sweet she also offers samples of the different meats they have. PLUS IT'S HALAL (for all my muslim yelpers) whoopwhoop. The prices are reasonable, no complaints. Mmmm I kind of want some right now! read more

We try coming here atleast once a week. Our go to plates are the chicken kabob plate, the Greek salad with chicken, and the falafels. The food is always on point, tasting fresh and delicious. It does take around 15 mins for your food to come up,depending on what you order, but it's always worth the wait,knowing it's made to order. The staff is friendly and have great customer service. If you're hungry and in the mood for great quality food, look no further. Well deserving of a 5 star rating! read more

I've never had Mediterranean food. Walked in on a whim and shared a plate of Mediterranean nachos with a friend. They were so delicious and flavorful. It a was also quiet and wasn't packed, which was nice. read more

Crest Cafe - Mediterranean Nachos - Greek Near Me - Sacramento, California

I always order the greek salad with garlic chicken. It comes with 2 small pitas, some yogurt sauce, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers and the chicken of course. It's a perfect somewhat healthy meal if you work downtown. read more

We had the Crest Cafe cater my Son and Daughter-in-law's wedding this past Saturday and we can't say enough good things about the event. From setup, service and the food quality, Monica and her staff were on it. Everyone LOVED the food. The salad was fresh and great, the beef and chicken dishes cooked to perfection and hot, the mixed veggies truly terrific. Thanks to Monica and her team from Crest for a memorable event read more

Fresh and delicious! I wasn't expecting the high quality of food we got. We shared a grilled eggplant wrap and 2 lentil soups - both fantastic and thankfully not too garlicky. The wrap had chunks of freshly grilled eggplant, not greasy, romaine lettuce and I believe a light lemony sesame/tahini dressing. Yummy! The lentil soup was made with yellow lentils. It was light and fragrant. We will return. read more

Went here for the buffet but couldn't figure out what the food was (no signs or labels). We decided to order off the menu instead. I'm really glad I did! Our group had the falafel, chicken shawarma, garlic chicken, beef kebabs and feta chicken. Everything was delicious! The portions were huge and I ended up taking half of it home. My favorite was the the feta chicken. Grilled chicken with cheesy garlic sauce! Yum!! All the sauces we tried were fantastic too! Definitely will go back. read more

I asked the manager what he would suggest for someone who can't eat wheat. He suggested marinated chicken patties with salad and rice. It may sound simple, but each part of it was seasoned beautifully! Others at my table loved their panini and burger with fries. Everything had excellent flavor! read more

DELISH! I have made many trips here for lunch. I am proud to say I am in love with Greek food. The food here is served fresh and fast! I love to order the Mediterranean Fries and the Cucumber Feta Chicken entree. I guarantee you will leave Crest Cafe happy and satisfied. Stop by now, what are you waiting for! read more

Awesome food.. If ur here, order chicken kabob (FYI it's not on their menu, but they'll make it specially for u) but its heavenly delicious.. Would recommend to visit and have this dish.. read more

Flavorful and traditional Greek food tucked away on K Street. The chicken gyros are delicious! The restaurant atmosphere is nothing to write home about, but they have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating right next to the Crest Theater. Great for a quick, affordable bite to eat! read more

This is a 5 star place. The food is fantastic and the staff are friendly and very professional. The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is inviting. I highly recommend this place. read more

This is the Best restaurant on K St. I have been coming here for six years and counting. Every time I come I bring someone new. Crest Café you guys rock. Stephanie Hopkins Roseville, CA read more

Best roasted eggplant wrap I've ever had. I was expecting something kind of bland'ish & dry, and boy was I in for a surprise. The flavors were incredible & the whole thing was moist & beautifully grilled. One of the sauces had what seemed to be fresh (omg) garlic. I wish they had a shop in the east SF bay area. read more

The lamb gyro is delicious. Their menu is diverse and has something for everyone. The staff is very courteous and helpful. I often call in my lunch order and it is always ready when I arrive. If you like spicy things I highly recommend the homemade spicy sauce. read more
