    Dolmathes
    Corinna B.

    Absolutely amazing! If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. Every interaction with staff was great and service was attentive. We were on our way to Fresno from San Francisco and stopped here for dinner. We sat outside and the ambiance was very quiet and cozy. The food was fantastic! We had the Dolmathes as appetizer and then the Chicken Souvlaki and Gyro Plate as entree. We also had a cappuccino which was super tasty as well. Wonderful experience, would absolutely come back.

    Lamb Gyro Wrap and Seafood Pita
    Jon R.

    My wife and I dropped by Pylos for a late lunch. We shared a tasty lamb gyro with fries and a juicy seafood pita with a salad and enjoyed both. We sat in the outside patio which was bright and comfortable with a view of the farmers market since it was Sunday. The service was professional and efficient. I would return again if I was in the area for an affordable, tasty meal.

    Dirty martini and aperol spritz

    My friends and I went for some apps and drinks during the San Carlos wine fest. We were seated on the patio right away & our server was very attentive. The patio seating is nice because it's mostly covered & shaded. We tried the falafel meze appetizer, the falafel was cooked perfectly- crisp on the outside & soft and moist on the inside. The tahini & hummus dips were a great complement to the falafel. We also had the octopus. The octopus was flavorful and very tender, but as you can see in the photo the portion was very small, not even a whole tail. The cocktails were great & everything was a reasonable price! I would definitely come back to try more things on their menu!

    Dip sampler- an absolute bargain

    Walked in for a late lunch. Prices at lunch were very reasonable. Food was all delicious, portions were generous and service was fast and friendly. The dip sampler was such a bargain!

    This is review is based on take out service. Ordering online was easy through their website. Pick up was easy and smooth. They have indoor and outdoor dining service. I appreciated that the server held the bag from the bottom and not just the top from the handles in presenting the take out bag to us. This was a very enjoyable and delicious meal at home. The containers held the food well enough upon arrival home though we had to transfer the gemista to a dish immediately. The colors and flavors of the food certainly added to the overall deliciousness of the meal. The fries were nice and crisp with good cheese flavor that you didn't need any ketchup. The zucchini cakes were so delicious with the dill sauce. The Gemista was beautiful to eat. Will look forward to another meal here again.

    Mediterranean Gnocchi
    Julianna M.

    Food was so delicious! I got the Mediterranean Gnocchi and I've tried the Grilled Eggplant Pita Wrap last visit. Lots of vegetarian options! I'm surprised it wasn't very packed on a Sunday afternoon. We came two weekends in a row! Highly recommend this place for great food.

    Lamb Shank

    Food and service was amazing. Ate here with my family and everything was super good. Lamb shank was super good

    Heard good things about gluten free options here. The first plate had gyro meat with rice, a fresh cucumber and tomato salad, and tzatziki on top. The meat was flavorful and not dry at all...good balance with the cool, creamy tzatziki. Salad was super fresh, and the rice was soft and just sticky enough to scoop easily. The second plate had two beef skewers with grilled veggies, rice, and a side of tzatziki again. The meat was nicely grilled, had a good char, and was still juicy. Veggies were cooked well...not too soft, still had a bit of crunch. Lemon on the side gave it a nice little zing. Also had some fries on the side...crispy, salty, and hit the spot. All around solid meal. Good portions, good flavors, and everything looked and tasted fresh. Would definitely go back.

    salad, pita, lemon drop cocktail
    Angel L.

    We had a lovely meal here! Started with the refreshing Pylos salad. The beyti, which was a rich and savory beef and lamb dish, was our favorite entree. The moussaka, which was a layered eggplant and zuchini dish, was also good. For dessert, we got the chocolate cake and lemon sorbet, and both were very flavorful and decadent. There weren't many people there, so it was a bit quiet, but service was fast!

    Lamb shank, Moussaka
    Crystal H.

    We dropped in a little before 8pm to order to-go food on Friday. We ordered a glass of red wine at the bar while we waited for the food. We ordered the Gyros, moussaka, and lamb shank. The moussaka and lamb shank was to die for! Lamb shank was so tender and juicy. Fall off the bone. Moussaka was similar to a lasagna but vegetarian. Juicy and soft. The Gyros was a bit too salty for us. The salad that came with the gyros helped tone down the salt.

    Lamb Shank
    Gretel V.

    Went during a weekday for dinner and the place was empty. Service was fast. Food was ok. Similar menu options as other Mediterranean restaurants. Wasn't a fan of the orzo (kind of bland). Lamb meat was very tender and fish was soft.

The person who answered the phone was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming.

The day before our reservation, I received a confirmation message, which was a thoughtful touch. When we arrived, we were greeted with genuine warmth. The entire staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive, and what stood out most was how sincere it felt. These weren't just professional smiles--they made us feel like truly welcomed guests. Our server, Stefania (I hope I'm spelling her name correctly!), was absolutely wonderful. She was warm, funny, attentive, and made our evening even more enjoyable. She asked whether we'd like to watch the game, whether we preferred a table in the shade, and even offered to bring a heater later in the evening if it became chilly. It was clear that everyone genuinely wanted us to have the best possible experience. The food was outstanding. Our group had very different tastes, yet every single person found something they loved, and everyone left happy. Every dish was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. Overall, Bahche exceeded our expectations in every way. We left feeling appreciated rather than just served, and that makes all the difference. Would I come back? Without a second thought. Would I recommend Bahche to my friends? I already have! Thank you to the entire team for making our celebration so special. We can't wait to return!

We ordered the ceviche ($21), papas bravas ($11), kale salad ($17), salmon ($35), and seafood pasta ($34). The ceviche was fresh and I really liked the citrusy notes (it was quite tropical and I thought it was possibly passionfruit?). The papas bravas was a decent sized serving and came with an addictive sauce. The kale salad came with a piece of fried feta and the only fault I found with it... was that I wanted more fried feta bits! Salmon was cooked well, and I liked the accompanying veggies - seemed like a very healthy Mediterranean dish. The seafood pasta was also very good. Husband said the fish in his dish was cooked even better than mine. Lastly, they offered us a whole complimentary dessert. We were already beyond stuffed at that point, but who are we to turn down a coconut creme brulee? Another review said they couldn't taste the coconut, but it's definitely there. It's not overpowering, but it's a good balance.

It's such a simple pizza that there's nowhere to hide, but the dough has an incredible chew, great flavor, and just the right amount of char. This is one pizza I'd only order to eat in the restaurant--the crust deserves to be enjoyed fresh from the oven. The lasagna was equally impressive. It tasted homemade, with what seemed like a lighter Bolognese and plenty of cheese, making it rich and comforting without feeling too heavy. The caprese was fresh and delicious, although I did a double take when I saw it was $27. Good? Absolutely. Expected? Not quite. Service was excellent. Our server walked us through the menu, another staff member kept our water glasses full and checked that everything was going well, and everyone made us feel genuinely welcome. The space is beautiful too--modern, bright, and polished without trying too hard. We'll definitely be back. Next time, I'm ordering more pizza. Sometimes the simplest dish is the one you remember most.
