When the longing for authentic Pinoy dishes strikes in the U.S., Isla Grand stands ready to transport your taste buds back to the Philippines.

Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went.

Carmina's Review on Nick the Greek Restaurant


Carmina hasn't eaten Greek food for a long time since she had arrived in the United States.

After spending the day with Charina and Gilbert they decided to have a bite to eat at Nick the Greek Restaurant in Concord, California.

Carmina had ordered their lamb gyros with everything on it.


Carmina couldn't finish the lamb gyros having the half out for takeout.

Carmina always loved eating lamb gyros ever since and missed the way they make it in California even if she has already tried it in the Philippines.

The lamb is soft and tender easy to bite into with favorable along with their sauce, onion and French fries inside a pita bread.

NOTE:

Carmina is not selling or advertising for food served at Nick the Greek Restaurant.
