Nemea Greek Taverna - San Jose

Our experience was enhanced by excellent service. We had an 8:00 PM reservation and were pleasantly informed by our server that the kitchen would close at 9:00 PM, but we could take our time with our meal. The staff was truly exceptional. We began our meal with warm bread, followed by tasty appetizers of tzatziki with warm pita and stuffed mushrooms. The asparagus risotto was smooth, rich, and delightful, and we also enjoyed the casserole and moschari souvlaki. All the dishes were fantastic. For dessert, we indulged in baklava with Fownis and Galactoboureko, which was bright and fluffy, paired with orange marmalade and pistachio ice cream. Overall, our time spent at Nemea was well worth both our time and money, leaving us with wonderful memories!

Whenever I visit this restaurant, I always order the lamb shank. No other place prepares it quite like they do. The flavor is fantastic! For dessert, I indulge in the Galaktoboureko, which is a perfect choice. The service is attentive, and the food is both delicious and beautifully presented. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The atmosphere was incredible! The food was quite good overall. I noticed that those who ordered the lamb enjoyed it more than my beef dish. I found the portion of beef souvlaki a bit on the smaller side. However, the octopus was excellent; it was my first time trying it, and it was expertly prepared. The cocktails were also quite nice. The Greek fries were definitely a highlight—delicious and served in generous portions!

I always order the lamb shank when I come here; no other restaurant makes it as well. The flavor is amazing! And I always finish with the galaktoboureko for dessert. The service is attentive, the food is delicious, and it's beautifully presented. I highly recommend this restaurant.
