    Awesome place with great food. Staff is friendly and helpful. Food is fresh and delicious. Love the pitas and baklava along with Nick's fries. Clean and nice ambiance too.

    We stopped by Nick the Greek in La Mirada based on the great reviews. I ordered the chicken style kebab pita. It came with lettuce, tomato, onion, and a mustard-style sauce in a soft pita. Overall, it was just okay. The chicken wasn't really my favorite and didn't stand out compared to other Greek spots. The pita bread was the best part. My bf had the beef/lamb combo pita. He said it was good. The restaurant was pretty empty when we visited, and parking is limited with a small lot, which is something to keep in mind. Not terrible, but not memorable either. Might try something different next time. The fries were good.

    Lamb Gyro
    Michelle R.

    Satisfied my Mediterranean food craving. Visited on a Monday for lunch. Used the discounted QR code posted on the front window, $3 off a gyro. Staff provided great menu recommendations. Restaurant was clean. I really enjoyed my lamb gyro, it was savory and aromatic! I will be a returning customer.

    So fresh and delicious! Will definitely come back. The marinades are so well done! The fries are crispy!

    Nick the Greek never disappoints! Always fresh and delicious and the staff is amazing!!! I recommend the La Mirada location if. You are in the area. Clean establishment. Come here for lunch and is always the best.

    We came to Nick the Greek around 12 PM and had a great experience. There's plenty of parking, which made it really convenient, and the restaurant itself was very clean and welcoming. The portions are generous--you definitely get a large quantity of food for the price. The staff were very friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. The Dragon Fruit drink was really good and refreshing. I ordered the Mediterranean Bowl, and it was absolutely delicious and very filling. My girls tried the gyro with fries and they loved it. We also had the burger, which was surprisingly very delicious as well. Overall, it was a great experience for our family and we all really enjoyed it. We will definitely be coming back again!

    Mediterranean Bowl
    Ana B.

    Food was fairly good. The Mediterranean bowl with beef/lamb tasted fresh and was a good portion size. I also tasted their fries, and they were very garlicky (which usually I don't mind, but this was a lot). It did feel a bit pricy and my party had to wait a while for everyone to get their food. Service was a tad slow and someone was dropping things in the kitchen.

    The bowl I got that was supposed to have a different protein, but I got falafel instead.
    Andrea Renee A.

    Came here on 11/26 on a whim. Was going to the sando shop next door and after I got my sandos I went inside to see if they had falafel. They did!! The man at the counter was very helpful and answered all my questions. When I was about uk order a bowl he showed me that I could get the other bowl and just sub out falafel for the protein. He went and made it. I got in the car opened the container and boy, oh boy, was it calling my name...Andrea, Andrea just take one falafel and dip it in the hummus. I did!!! Sooooooo delish!! It was fresh. All of it. Fresh. The kale was tasty, I may add I don't like kale, but this was so fresh. The rice was great, tomatoes, pickled red onions and the three sauces were lovely. I'm Lebanese and I've been eating this type of food my whole life. My grandma n mom make it all homemade and this food passed the test. I will be back, often. It was great! The restaurant was clean and it was peaceful and quiet. The sm since was a relaxed vibe which we all need and enjoy.

    Fries were delicious
    Dawnmarie F.

    Love it. Restaurant was very clean and the staff was polite and helpful. The food was delicious!!!! My husband had a lamb bowl. Omg, yummmm. Fresh , crunchy and fabulous. My chicken gyro was so great, well balanced flavor. We all would totally eat here again, take others and recommend it.

With salad but barely filled half way in the half-sized to-go box, for $18. Came with a side of "pita bread" but it's actually pieces of flour tortilla... what?? Biggest complaint is the wait. With only 2 people ahead of me, having to wait over 30 minutes for my food. I see only 2 guys working in the kitchen and one of them is the cashier, ON A LUNCH HOUR. Clearly, they are making short cuts to maximize their profits. Will not return.

I will say that the portion sizes have shrunk considerably in recent months compared to when we first started getting takeout from here--the shawarma plates used to be so generously portioned that I'd have a leftover meal for the next day after only finishing half of my order, but I can finish the plate now no problem. The styrofoam containers got much more shallow so you don't get as much for your money, unfortunately. That said, their chicken shawarma and rice are so delicious, and the garlic spread is perfectly creamy and flavorful. Easy online ordering system, often with BOGO deals that enable you to still get a lot of bang for your buck if you time it right. We have yet to dine in but enjoy how easy and quick pickup is, especially given their location right off the 5. On our way to being regulars now!

The beef kebab is pretty standard and the rose water is uniquely good. Although I did water mine down a little to reduce the sweetness.

The Works... the size of the grape leaves seemed to have shrunk in half?? Not anything close to what we got the last time ordering this combo platter. Taste was great but it went from "busting out the seems fully wrapped" to "single bite size". Also, they missed the yogurt that comes along with each platter. Last time they missed some add-on sauces we paid extra for also. We even called to ask they double check the sauces because we didn't receive the correct items last time.

Still, we fondly remembered their generous, delicious portions, so we placed an online order. ​The website didn't give a readiness time, but remembering that they used to prepare everything fresh and take their sweet time, I told my husband we should wait a bit before heading out. ​When I walked in, the employees were chatting and laughing, which was nice to see. Then I noticed a pile of takeout orders sitting on a shelf. Hungry as I was, I silently prayed none of them were ours; I utterly despise cold food. I gave my name to the cashier--who skipped the greeting entirely--and was told it wasn't ready yet. I said thanks and took a seat. ​While I was waiting, another customer asked about her order and was initially dismissed with a "no." After a second look, the cashier called her back: "Oh, this is yours. It's been ready." No apology, just a cold shoulder. The customer was understandably ticked off. ​The real plot twist, however, happened when I got home. Apparently, "two skewers" now translates to a grand total of five pieces of chicken. That is definitely not what it used to be. To make matters worse, my worst nightmare came true: the food was cold. Well, not the chicken, but the french fries and pita bread were stone-cold and stale. ​Lately, I've been going to Luna Grill down the street. They actually serve fresh, much tastier food--and at prices that don't feel like highway robbery.

There are some things I'd like to mention that have already been said in other reviews, if you just scroll down. The portion sizes are ridiculous compared to other Cava locations I've been to. It's almost like a joke to even serve the sorry a** bowls that they do. Make no mistake--this is not the workers' fault. I feel like a lot of the heat gets placed on the workers, but they're only doing what is required of them. It's the managers, the boss, and the team that comes by to train the workers to serve a specific amount of each ingredient. This is a slap in the face. You're playing with people who work hard for their money, giving them ridiculous portions at full price, all to pocket more money. I know there's someone from the business side of Cava on here who responds to these reviews telling us to submit further critiques on their website, but what good is that doing if you still haven't listened to the concerns of your customers and changed the portion sizes? It angers me because I see what this business is doing, and they're doing it right in front of our faces while the workers take the heat, all for extra profit. I'm not f***ing with it. I'm passionate about this review because this feels like straight-up robbery of people's money, and this location does not care. PLEASE GO TO A DIFFERENT CAVA until this one actually listens to its customers and makes changes.
