About Greek Soul Food in Monterey

Gourmet Greek and Eastern Mediterranean Food

Poseidon’s Greek Soul Food in Monterey, CA is a family owned business since 1996. John Poulos, owner and chef, comes from a large Greek family where food was always at the center of family gatherings. The joy of these gatherings — with friends and family — is at the heart of Poseidon’s. Fast comfort food for feeding the soul.

Healthy Fast Food

We offer healthy fast food — take-out right from the local grocer to your home, office, party, or picnic.

Our products are free of fillers and chemical additives. We hand select the finest — and freshest — available ingredients to go into our Greek deli salads, soups, and dips. We do not over-process our gourmet specialty foods. This is why our hummus, tzatziki, and other Eastern Mediterranean foods we offer are so tasty. The freshness of the ingredients we use are key to our success.

What We Do

We support and supply family owned independent grocers around the Monterey Peninsula, Santa Cruz, and all the way up to San Francisco. Our products are made in small batches and are hand crafted and carefully seasoned to keep consistency, and, preserve flavor and nutrients. When you open a deli container of our Greek specialty food you will see and smell the home-made quality that we enjoyed at our family table over the years. It’s real Greek soul food.

If you don’t see us at your local market please contact us and let us know.
