At Dunya Bistro, every dish is a love letter to Greek cuisine. From the crispy spanakopita to the hearty moussaka, each bite transports me to the sun-kissed hillsides and bustling tavernas of Greece. This restaurant is a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic taste of Mediterranean culture in San Francisco.

The Dunya Bistro’s Mediterranean Pizza is a masterpiece. The crust is crispy and golden, with just the right amount of crunch giving way to a soft interior. The flavors are bold and well-balanced, with a perfect harmony of tangy feta cheese, Kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, and sun-dried tomatoes. Each bite transports me to the Mediterranean coast, where the warm sunshine and gentle breeze infuse every culinary delight.

Dunya Bistro’s Greek Salad is a symphony of textures and tastes. Fresh mixed greens provide a refreshing base for the generous heapings of juicy Kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, and succulent grilled chicken. The tangy zip of red wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil brings everything together in perfect harmony. This salad is a true celebration of Greek cuisine’s rich flavors and traditions.

The Dunya Bistro’s Steak is cooked to perfection - tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The grilled steak is seasoned with just the right amount of herbs and spices, giving it an unmistakable Mediterranean twist. Paired with a side of garlic mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables, this dish is sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate.

The restaurant has a cozy and intimate atmosphere, with dim lighting that creates a warm ambiance. The tables are nicely set with fine china and crisp white linens, adding to the elegance of the dining experience. The walls are adorned with artwork, creating a sophisticated and refined look. The overall atmosphere is perfect for a romantic dinner or special occasion.
