Welcome to Ikaros, a taste of Greece in the heart of Oakland, California.
We’re a family-owned Greek kitchen that’s been sharing the flavors of the Mediterranean with our community for years. Executive Chef George’s great-grandfather emigrated from Greece to Jerusalem in the late 1800s, and George began cooking alongside his grandmother in Ramallah as a boy. From her, he learned to use a vibrant mix of spices from across the Mediterranean and Northern Africa—like allspice, sumac, cumin, cloves, and coriander—to bring depth and warmth to every dish.
Our menu reflects a unique blend of George’s Greek heritage and his early life in Jerusalem and Ramallah. From handmade dolmades to savory moussaka, everything is prepared with the freshest ingredients and a deep respect for tradition.
Order from Ikaros To Go and enjoy bold, authentic flavors made with heart—ready when you are.
