Achilles - Santa Clara

I am not Greek, but I could probably speak some after eating the Achillle's Pocket Sandwich: so juicy, so flavorful. Get with extra garlic and spicy party. Staff is super friendly and generous with portions.Food: 5/5

EAT HERE. You will not regret it. On our way out of town for a girls trip to San Jose, we had a chance encounter with someone who used to live there and recommended this place. It feels like divine intervention. I really like the menu concept. I think her name was Grace and if it isn’t, it should be. She was so kind and helpful and so was the other gentleman. They walked us through all the options and their recommendations were so thoughtful. And if the service doesn’t sell you on this place, then the food will. But who doesn’t love being helped by kind people who love what they do and are proud of their absolutely amazing food. I will come back here anytime and it’s so good, I will plan a trip around it. Seriously, eat here. It was a highlight of our trip.

This has been our go to Mediterranean restaurant but in the last visit we were not happy with the food. It tasted like always but the bread was hard to chew and had a tough time eating Achilles special without making a mess. Also wish they had more room for eating at the restaurant.Food: 4/5

I have to admit that my expectations were pleasantly surpassed!! Went for a business introduction for catering services for our company and tried out several items from the menu. Not only was I impressed with so many items from their menu but they have their own spin along with traditional dishes like hummus, falafel wraps, chicken schwarma. Oh did I mention that their baked goods and display is second to none. You have to try their Baklava and pistachio treats. The staff and the management are so courteous and friendly and no wonder why they have a great reputation. They have a good small outside dining area to enjoy the food and outside atmosphere. Achilles is great for anyone including business catering. Definitely recommend and will be back soon. Thank you...

The reviews are true, the place is worth visiting: fantastic service, delicious food, large portions, simple but specialized menu, affordable prices, and you leave with a great taste in your mouth and a smile in your face. Just come for your lunch or dinner, enjoy every bite, and then come back for another menu item until you've tried everything. Ps. leave a small space for dessert and try their sweets selection.Today for lunch, I had: Falafel plate (I ordered it with rice with hummus, baba ghanouj, turmeric rice, tomatoes, olives, tahini sauce, and hot sauce) Gyro Beef Pocket Sandwich
