    My tasty Gyro - YUMMY!!!
    Michael H.

    I got there after the lunch rush at 3pm and was skeptical ~ but my Gyro was EXCEPTIONAL!!! The ambience was just like being on a Greek Island!!!! (Not really....but it was clean and functional!).

    Such fresh and hearty food options! My friend and I were looking for a quick lunch with healthier options and Greek food sounded amazing! We were also pleasantly surprised with the generous portion and the food delivered in less than 10 minutes. The gyro bowl is absolutely delicious! It's nice that the restaurant has tables inside and is clean; this is not your average pay at the cash register and sit-down place, because the food was of great quality! Highly recommend!

    Food here is consistently good. I've ordered take out from here more than anywhere else. Keep up the excellent work.

    Food was okay... it's very casual the ambiance is fast food type... The service was also okay, the lady at the counter was very friendly. I did say no onions on my order and they ended up putting some in my gyro.

    Chicken Slovakia

    I asked for tzatziki sauce on the side and somehow I ended up with a ton of creamy mayonnaise over everything. It's really too bad because I've eaten at this chain before and it's pretty solid. Won't be going back here again. The photo I took is literally me just taking it out of the wrap and opened it up. It was leaking all over the place. It was so gross. Unfortunately, this is the second bad meal. I've gotten here. I really regret giving it another chance and wasting my money.

    Pork belly gyro with fries

    My first time to this place. I have seen them around So Cal. First off the parking can be a little tight, but the food is worth it. I got the pork belly gyro plate with fries. First time for pork belly gyro, it was good, but going back to the lamb gyro. The fries and salad were good. The fries tastes like In-N-Out's. The price - $18 w/o a drink which is normal for around here. The service was nice and quick. The lady at the register had never tried the pork belly but said it was good. The atmosphere was clean. I'd return and try something different.

    First time eating at Nick The Greek ("NTG"). While I I was initially excited to try their food, my excitement was short lived. Ordered chicken souvlaki with rice and side salad. Visually, it was obvious the chicken skewers were previously frozen (char marks on one side only, freezer burn). Flavor was non-existent - bland would be a compliment. The counter where orders are placed is so close to the front door, 3 person line is backed out the door. Inside was a kluge, including an empty table near the entrance, no chairs, just a random table. Service was fast (Red Flag), too quick to properly cook chicken which supports my earlier comment Re: frozen pre-cooked chicken. Another disappointing Sysco resto. Save yourself time and money...

ALSOOOO do NOT forget the Dubai chocolate ice cream! It will rock your Dubai chocolate world! The ice ccream is more like a Greek yogurt softer serve and the toppings make it DELISH!! LOVE WILL BE BACK TO TRY WVERYTHINGG ELSE!!

    Helpful staff, great food, arrived quickly. I also ordered takeaway from here last week and the quality is consistent either way!

    Another decent visit at Nick the Greek. We came to share agyros sandwich and fries. We think it's plenty of food but that's just our opinion. My only issue is that there's actually too much sauce on the pita. Next time, I'm definitely ordering it on the side. The meat was a little chunky and not necessarily shaved pieces. I'm not sure if that's the standard. It made it a little bit harder to eat. The fries were hot and crisp. The cashier/order taker was super friendly and helpful. Location was clean. Plenty of parking out front.

    This is a fast food Greek restaurant in a shopping center and it's fine if you like chicken thighs and souvlaki and pita bread. I picked up a chicken plate for the bf and he said it was okay. The staff is nice and they are efficient so that's a plus! I wanted some baklava but it's not gluten free so I saved myself 1,000 calories instead. Whewwww

    My $6.00 hummus side!!!!

    This was the perfect place for our girl dinner!…read more Mayfield whips up the most inventive, delicious, and beautiful looking plates! Their food is rooted in Levantine cuisine which comes from the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East. Everything was too too good! We got the Baba Ganoush with Bread, Batata Harra Thousand Layered Potatoes, and Grilled Cabbage. The Baba Ganoush is a an eggplant puree with crushed pistachios. Such a gorgeous savory dip. Their house-made bread is a must-get to pair! Super fluffy and toasted to perfection. The Batata Harra Thousand Layered Potatoes were my personal favorite. The potatoes were sooo crispy and the sauce (made of labneh yogurt, chili, and lemon) that it came with had me licking up very last bit. Lastly, don't sleep on their Grilled Cabbage! It was served as a wedge and featured XO sauce, dried sausage, peanuts and tahini labneh sauce. This would probably get any kid to eat their veggies. Will most definitely be returning!

I had to wait in line behind people ordering in order to pick up (food was behind the counter waiting for me in a bag) which sort of defeats the purpose of ordering from home.

I'd relate the taste to how chipotle is in comparison to true authentic Mexican food. It's good but it's not truly authentic Greek cuisine. I'd go here again for lunch!

We made a complaint, and for a while we slowly saw some improvement. However, we visited twice again--once last month and again this month--and the customer service was not friendly or accommodating whatsoever. The rice was horrible, tasteless, and overcooked. We asked to pay for additional chipotle and yogurt sauce, and they failed to include it with our meal. Last month we also had a to-go order, and the chicken was overcooked. As I mentioned before, we have patronized the San Diego Luna Grill location, where the food is always outstanding and the service is amazing. The owner of this franchise should be aware of how this location is being run.
