Their flagship location is in the heart of Midtown Sacramento and offers a casual, family-friendly atmosphere to enjoy authentic Greek food made with locally sourced ingredients.
The menu has a wide selection of classic Mezze, gyros, and giant combination platters.
I loved their gyro pitas because they stuff them with fries.

Ranked among the top Greek restaurants by Sacramento Magazine, Kabob House is a casual Greek restaurant in Arden Manor.
The interior has white columns, blue trim, and lovely depictions of Greek Island skylines painted on the walls.
Kabob House is a family-owned restaurant with over 30 years of service in Sacramento.
They have an authentic menu of Greek and Middle Eastern specialties.
I started with the dolmades, rice-stuffed grape leaves with mint.
Since their name is Kabob House, I had to try one of their kabob entrees and chose the ground lamb kabobs with a Greek salad, rice pilaf, and fresh pita bread.

Phone: 916-779-0737
Located in Arden Gardens, Café Europa is a modest fast-casual Greek American café with friendly counter service.
They have a wide selection of local beers to accompany a huge menu of traditional Greek favorites along with Greek takes on American comfort foods like hamburgers and spaghetti.
Its humble storefront may go overlooked by those who’re not in the know, but Café Europa is a hidden gem worth trying.
They have a full vegetarian menu in addition to a selection of pitas, gyros, combo plates, and mezze.
I loved the vegetarian combo which came with Greek salad, dolmades, spanakopita, tzatziki sauce, and fresh pita bread.

Falafel Corner is a Halal-certified chain dedicated to serving the freshest meats and most authentic Mediterranean cuisine from the Middle East.
In addition to skewers, kabobs, and falafel, they also serve pizza and burgers.
Their burgers are over the top, and their most popular burger is the Badmash Burger with two huge beef patties covered in melted Swiss and cheddar with a medley of sauces, veggies, a fried egg, bacon, and sauteed onions and mushrooms.
It was so enormous, that I had to eat it with a knife and fork.
