I know Nick the Greek is a bastardization of actual Greek food, and I'm sure real Greek food is a million times better. I ordered the Nick's Fries, and this didn't even pass the test of being edible. The meat was so overcooked and rubbery that it was hard to chew, and the fries were clearly old and cold. If McDonald's served fries with this texture, most people would send them back. Honestly, they tasted like I found them underneath my car seat after a week. The whole thing was basically inedible, and I ended up throwing it away. I've been here before and got a gyro, and I was unimpressed then too. I'm not even holding it to the standard of authentic Greek food, but this was shockingly bad. I genuinely don't understand how people eat this. Between the rubbery meat, stale fries, and overall quality, this was one of the most disappointing meals I've had in a long time. Yikes! read more

We've only had Nick The Greek one other time and it did not disappoint again. The food is really good. We ordered 2 Gyro Bowls - one with the rotisserie chicken and one with the chicken skewers. We both really liked it. The pita was good and the tzatziki was yummy. The employees were friendly, but the service was a tad slow and we ordered on a Saturday at around 11am and there was no one else ordering or waiting. read more

If there's one thing to say about this place: "It gets the job done." This isn't the shiniest or the most glimmering spot in all of downtown San Jose but you come for what you've been craving. Something warm and toasty to accompany a wild night out with friends. Patrons who might speak with their outdoor voices inside. Table that are always covered in water. Well, I hope that liquid is water. The staff will serve you fresh pitas and fries along with your choice of protein. Your stomach acid will soak up the macros and your hangover will be sorely missed. A great place to hit if you're avoiding La Vics. read more

Came here at a late night for dinner with a friend. There is ample space inside of the restaurant, which was well-lit with a welcoming ambiance, and a decent amount of parking in the form of one of the public Downtown San Jose parking lots that you have to pay money for after 90 minutes. The server was very direct in a way that came off as slightly rude, but I'll excuse it since it was very late and I assume a lot of us were probably tired. The menu was a little hard to navigate, with no list of what ingredients were inside outside of the markings that let you know whether something was gluten-free or vegan-friendly. Some of the gyros (like the lamb gyro) were apparently locked behind a combo, which was a little strange considering they were marked on the menu as regular items. After some deciding I got the Gyro Combo with lamb meat and Greek Fries, which was a decent amount of food. The food was also a decent level of savory, and came with a small portion of salad. Overall, eating at Nick the Greek was a decent experience. A lot of their salads looked really enticing (which is pretty weird as I'm not usually a salad person) so I wouldn't mind returning again to try it. I'm sure the service will be more lively in the afternoon. read more

Ordered a chicken wrap that had fries in it, when it finally arrived there was ONE singular fry in it. Really disappointing. The willow glen location gives a good amount of fries in them, but one is just sad read more

Nick The Greek - No fries to be seen - Greek Near Me - San Jose, California

As a SoCal native, I'm not familiar with Nick the Greek, but it seems to be everywhere in Northern California! My friend was shocked that I hadn't tried it before. We ordered Nick the Greek for delivery for a work lunch. It was such a treat! I got the gyro bowl and I ate every bite of it. The rice and meat were perfect and I loved the fresh vegetables they added. It's so nice to have a fresh meal for lunch that's absolutely delicious and for a great price. They packed everything well for our delivery and we had no issues with all of the modifications needed. read more

Nick The Greek - My daughters kid plate and review - Greek Near Me - San Jose, California

Loved my experience at Nick the Greek! I came for dessert and had to try the loukoumades--these Greek doughnut balls are a must-try. They're warm, fluffy, and perfectly crisp on the outside, generously drizzled with honey and sprinkled with cinnamon. Every bite is sweet, light, and absolutely delicious, making them the perfect treat if you're craving something unique and satisfying. The staff was friendly and quick, and the clean, modern restaurant made it a great spot to relax. If you're new to Greek desserts, loukoumades are essentially little fried dough balls drenched in syrup, sometimes with nuts or extra toppings--Nick the Greek nails it. I highly recommend adding this dessert to your order! I can't wait to come back for more. read more

Nick the Greek hit the spot. Fresh bowls loaded with flavor, tender gyro meat, crisp veggies, and sauces that actually taste homemade.

Definitely coming back. Great service. read more

Nick The Greek - Gyro bowl - Greek Near Me - San Jose, California

First time trying this chain! Pretty solid. I had the chicken gyro and beef/lamb gyro bowls. These weren't my favorite bowls only because I felt the yogurt flavor was way too overpowering, but the meat itself was pretty good. I enjoyed the chicken gyro more than the beef and lamb. I also tried the Nick Fries with Beefteki. The fries themselves taste super fresh and you really can tell they are freshly cut. Beef teki was good as well, but I overall felt that the fries could use more flavor. My favorite tries here were the chicken souvlaki pita and froyo with honey & baklava. The chicken souvlaki was so juicy & had really good flavor; the wrap was balanced and delicious. The froyo with honey and baklava was such a refreshing dessert! Wasn't too sweet and the texture of the baklava chunks complimented the dessert so well. And the honey greek yogurt combo was amazing! Person who took our order was really patient and helpful with explaining menu items. They even brought our food out for us which was really nice. The place had lots of seating and TV blasting sports in the background. read more

INHUMANE STAFF & MANAGEMENT... Would not let us use the restroom!.... Manager said we'd have to buy a Full-Meal... & When we said that my husband is a diabetic & briefly needs to use the restroom just for a Short-Trip Only URGENTLY... they started calling the security, despite the fact that we were well dressed, coming from a formal event... & Also said that my Hubby's diabetes is not their problem !! #BoycottNickTheGreek read more

Got tired with the faster food options (Taco Bell, Chipotle, Erik's deli )around in the area, so head here once in a while. Service was very slow at Fri lunch time, probably because this place seems popular for online order (I see a long string of tickets). Definitely not fast food but seems inordinately long. Still, feels too long. As i wait (after 10 mins to start writing)and write this, still waiting forever. Given the cost vs time and not even considering food yet, clearly I made a poor choice.... Time from order on receipt to receiving food: 20 mins.... Menu also has been adjusted. Food portion seem smaller and presentation was meh looking..Luckily it tasted solid. They also nicely include the two sauces. Overall if you have time to wait, doable. read more

For what it is, I actually really loved it. I got the Greek salad and added beef/lamb meat. The salad had huge/fresh chunks of cucumber and tomato. Exactly what I was looking for. The meat was a bit overdone but still good. The dressing wasn't too much. The cheese on top was definitely fake cheese but still added some flavor. I added a side of hummus and tzatziki to dip in the salad and it brought it to the next level! Not a vibe atmosphere wise, but don't think it's supposed to be. It's fast casual. Overall I loved how fresh it was, people were nice, and it was the perfect thing I needed to relieve from all the Italian nearby. read more

Yummy and fresh pita sandwiches. Great and fast service. Friendly environment we order 3 pita sandwiches with beef and steak. Very tasty

The pros , it's open late so if you're desperate, take your chance. The booths are busted not well maintained. The food is subpar for the price, horrible value. Tried other locations where the food was far better but this one is not it. read more

Food wasn't that good, especially for the price. Not enough meat portions and also a hair was in my bowl to top it all off.

I came here with a coworker on Thursday for lunch and I highly recommend placing an order for mobile pick up because they take forever if you order in person. I ordered the beef/lamb gyro bowl and it was just all right. It honestly is kind of pricey for $15.95. It came with yellow rice, shaved protein, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, and feta cheese. I was given three different types of sauces - a vinaigrette, a yogurt based sauce, and a mayo sauce. None of them were my favorite. read more
