    I think I found my new addiction!!! Apola is in the WalMart plaza with plenty of parking. This is a counter service restaurant. Ordering was super easy, customer service had great vibes and there's plenty of indoor seating. Restroom is in the back and is clean. I ordered the beef/lamb gyro with a side rice. The gyro comes with beef/lamb, tzatziki, tomatoes, onion and fries. The combination is amazing! It has so much flavor and I love there's a combination of soft and crunch. I loved the fries and tzatziki so much, I went back to order a side of fries and a side of tzatziki/pita. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Excellent and friendly service and a wide selection of foods. I ordered the gyro and fries with a side salad; this is my typical order for trying new Greek spots. The pita bread was a bit too dense and the meat was a bit dry with little flavor.

    I was craving a chicken gyro since I had one the day before from an event and I wanted more but didn't want to be amongst the busy crowd. Upon entering the establishment, my friend and I were warmly welcomed by the staff with genuine smiles, setting a pleasant tone for our dining experience. I decided to indulge in the pita chicken gyro with a side of fries, a choice that exceeded all expectations. The chicken was flawlessly cooked, tender, and bursting with flavors that harmonized seamlessly. Every bite exuded a delightful umami sensation that left me craving more. Their chicken gyro definitely exceeded my expectations and was so much better than the one I had the day before. The overall ambiance of the venue was tranquil and inviting, a perfect setting for enjoying a meal without distraction. I even ordered food to go for my fiancé and they agreed that it was delicious. I had a great experience and I highly recommend it if you're looking for a gyro filled with delicious goodness.

    Found mold on my red onions in my breakfast burrito. Girlfriend also found mold on her red onions. What a shame. No one picked up the phone (since I was asking for a refund). Not sure if I want to ever come back. What a shame.

    Welcomed as I walked in, extremely clean environment, food came in exactly how I asked, ordered online so I received a free baklava. First time ever ordering from here.

    FOOD SAFETY ISSUE. Got breakfast burritos from here and the avocado they added was black! No way they didn't see that when they added it in. Maybe they thought we wouldn't notice....see photo

    Greek Salad with beef/lamb gyro
    Vanessa G.

    - Vibes: 4/5 (cute, diner-y) - Crowd: 4/5 (can get busy at lunchtime) - Menu: 5/5 (lots of options, build ur own plates) - Value for price: 4/5 (very expensive but med food often is) - Parking: 5/5 (shopping center) Came here for a work lunch on a Thursday around 11:45, and waited ~5 min in line before ordering. It's a walk-thru build your own plate style place, slightly Americanized Greek food (think fries in your gyro). They serve a good amount of protein in the bowl but as Mediterranean food often is, it was expensive. I paid over $20 for a basic bowl (Aug 2024). The servers worked quickly despite the crowd. I got a Greek salad with the beef/lamb gyro and tzatziki/eggplant sauces. The meat was tender and flavorful, and I loved the eggplant mash- a weird seedy texture but it was smoky and paired great w the pita. The Greek salad had huge chunks of feta which was delightful, but the salad was SUPER oily and ended up making my whole bowl very wet. A solid lunch spot, but not the most superb quality I've had at a Mediterranean place.

    Full menu and options!

    Greek Style Chipotle! This place caught me by surprise, and we really did not have the intention of going here but came as a "last minute" plan type meal. Thankfully, I did stumble upon this place, and the food is great. You get quite a lot of food for the price you pay and also some good quality food! You can see the meat being cooked daily! Highly recommend the beef and lamb or the chicken! They also have some other options, like the Fire Fries, and I would highly recommend those or the Feta Fries because they have some good flavors and sauces that compliment their Greek seasonings and sauces! The garlic sauce and tzatziki sauce are phenomenal with their Greek salad and Lamb! Service is also so quick and the workers all seem to be having a great time and fun working there! Very friendly and helpful with answering questions! I ended up having the works wrap too, and added some spicy hummus and jalapenos! Added some great heat and solid spice flavor to the chicken! It's a great quick option for lunch or dinner! We even ordered this place for the Superbowl because we were craving it and the garlic sauce!

    Yum! First time-first impressions:phenomenal! I ordered a plate with butter rice (wow! That rice), carved beef and lamb (also my first time eating LAMB!), topped with diced tomatoes Dill cucumbers, and purple cabbage. The female coworker was thoughtful and kind to put the hummus and Taziki on the side. Loved the mini peta breads! Will definitely be coming back !

    This place is delicious. I like to come through on occasion for their breakfast burrito. It's really good! But hands down, the fallaphel and the gyros are always on point! I love the added twist of the fries in my gyro, yum! The staff is always friendly, quick, and organized. The establishment is nice and clean. I'm headed there now! Update: I came through this last week after a small absence from my Greek fix. I was super stoked to see Andre' my man and his crew were dishing out some delicious gyros. I NEEDED to get my hands on a gyro done up Maximum with fries and everything. I had the seasoned pork along with a small side Greek salad. It was awesome!! The gyro had their killer garlic spread tahini, hummus, and seasoned pork. I seriously couldn't wait to get home and dig in!! I'm always super happy to see Andre'and his customer service is absolutely on point! If you manage to save any room after your meal, I recommend any of the after dinner Greek sweets such as their baklava or lukomades which are like small freshly made batch donuts covered in honey and powdered sugar. Like Anthony Bourdain says, " you WANT this, you NEED this!" UPDATE I still continue to come here for their delicious falafel wraps. I recently started going through my old reviews and realized that I hadn't posted any pictures. Keep your eyes open for their mailer coupon and the specials on their wraps.

    My plate to go! Jan 2024.

    It's a chain and it has that Panda Express/Chiptole set up, BUT the food is good and a great deal in this economy. It's also a healthy alternative to getting junkier foods. It's in the same plaza as Walmart, but still plenty of parking. When you get inside, you get in line, and when you get to the counter you let the employee know what you'd like to order. I usually get the plate and I've attempted to order fries as a side, but every time I do they either don't have any or they have a dinky amount left :( All in all though, it's pretty tasty and a quick meal when I don't feel like cooking.

    Tasty wraps and love how I can get a side of grilled vegetables, they give you quite a lot I couldn't even finish it. They have a really good special now where you can get The Works wrap with a side and it's really a good deal!

    Raw chicken souvlaki in gyro
    Evelina R.

    Really disappointed writing this review because we used to come here often, and our most recent visit was the last straw. Idk if the ownership changed, but the quality went downhill. During our most recent visit, I placed a pick-up order for a chicken souvlaki gyro. When I arrived, the worker told me it would be 3-4 minutes for the chicken souvlaki to be ready. I was happy to wait. When I got home and opened up the gyro, staring back at me was raw chicken. Of course I didn't eat it and threw it out. I reached out to the restaurant, but haven't heard from them.

    Nick the Greek Review -- 4.5/5…read more If you're craving fresh, flavorful Greek food with generous portions, Nick the Greek is definitely worth a visit! From the moment you see the Greek-inspired storefront, you know you're in for a Mediterranean feast. I went with the gyro bowl, loaded with tender gyro meat, fresh tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, Kalamata olives, and plenty of feta. The combination of savory meat, fresh vegetables, salty olives, and creamy feta made every bite packed with flavor. The gyro pita was another standout. Warm, soft pita wrapped around flavorful gyro meat, fresh tomatoes, onions, and creamy tzatziki. It's messy in the best possible way--and exactly what you want from a good gyro! And then there are the Greek fries. Crispy, golden, and seasoned with herbs, feta, and other Mediterranean flavors, they were the perfect side and honestly hard to stop eating. Final Rating: 4.5/5 Nick the Greek delivers big flavors, satisfying portions, fresh ingredients, and plenty of variety. Whether you're grabbing a quick pita, building a bowl, or sharing some Greek fries, there's something here for everyone. The only reason I'm not giving it a perfect 5 is that there's always a little room for improvement--but this meal came pretty close! #NickTheGreek #GreekFood #Gyro #GyroBowl #GyroPita #GreekFries #MediterraneanFood #FoodReview #Foodie #FoodLovers #Foodstagram #EatswithEddie #Review #FoodReviews #MoreReviews #MustTry #FoodieFinds

The pairing of the rich mole sauce and sweet potato puree takes the dish to an entirely different level, complementing each other effortlessly. ​Baklava Cheesecake: A creative and delicious twist on a classic. The cream cheese filling is light rather than dense, and instead of a traditional graham cracker crust, it features a fantastic baklava crust. It is nicely balanced and not overly sweet, though you will definitely want to pair it with a cup of coffee to finish it off. ​ ​Service: The staff is exceptionally friendly, highly attentive, and organized, making you feel well cared for throughout the meal. ​Portions: Portions are slightly on the smaller side.
