    Gyro Bowl
    A-Marie R.

    This gyro bowl didn't miss once. The meat was the star--perfectly seasoned, tender, with those slightly crispy edges that give it real flavor instead of that bland, reheated taste you get at weaker spots. The base (rice/salad) was fresh and well-prepared, not an afterthought. The rice was fluffy and seasoned just enough to stand on its own, and the greens were crisp--not wilted or soggy. Everything layered together the way it should. You weren't digging through it trying to find flavor--it was in every bite. The toppings were fresh and balanced, and nothing felt excessive or thrown on just to fill space. The tzatziki sauce sealed it--cool, creamy, with a clean garlic finish that didn't overpower the dish but elevated it. Drizzled just right, not drowning the bowl.

    Plate with Side Salad
    Erica T.

    Since this Nick the Greek is right in my neighborhood, I frequent this location quite a bit. The food itself is consistently good, but the overall experience can be a bit of a mixed bag. Let's start with the food: I ordered the protein bowl with a side of pita bread, and the bowl was absolutely delicious, fresh, and hit the spot. It's a great place to come for a cold, high-quality salad. My only minor critique food-wise is that they charge $3 for a side of pita bread, which feels a bit steep since it doesn't even come with a scoop of hummus--just a little tzatziki sauce. The main area that could use some improvement is the front-counter customer service. Most of the time, the experience is pretty lackluster. The order-taking process is very dry with no real greeting. You just place your order, get told your total, and then the iPad screen gets flipped around asking for a hefty 20% tip. It makes you wonder: if I'm walking up to a counter to order my own food, why am I tipping that much? Because I'm a generous person, I'll still leave a little something as long as the service isn't completely outrageous, but the suggested amounts definitely don't match the level of effort. To be totally fair, there is one lady who works here who is wonderful--very friendly and always strikes up a nice conversation. While I don't expect a red carpet everywhere I go, if you're working a customer-facing role, a little basic warmth goes a long way. When you're spending your hard-earned money on eating out these days, the service really matters! Will I be back? Yes, because it's convenient, the app rewards points are nice, and I genuinely like the food. But I'll definitely be spacing out my visits. With so many other places to choose from that offer the same quality of food, it won't be a regular staple for me.

    Can't go wrong with the chicken gyros. They're flavorful and filling. My picky toddler enjoyed her chicken skewer meal as well. It's a little on the pricier side, but what isn't? Staff was also friendly. Overall recommend this for a fast meal and it's an easy place to go to with kids.

    Greek Fries

    Our 19th hole lunch today. The service was excellent and the restaurant felt clean. I ordered the Lamb/Beef Gyro cut in half. The item was pricey for the size of the Gyro, but what isn't pricey these days. The gyro was soggy and they must have put 2 or 3 fries inside cuz it was non-existent and I kept looking for it with each bite. I also ordered a side order of fries and it was also soggy and cold. Like it had been sitting there for a while. Didn't taste like fries and I would never order again for sure! Would I come back? No, I doubt it! Pictures are someone else's lunch which looked way better than what I ordered. I didn't even want to take a picture of my food!

    Gyro Bowl and Fries

    I got the Gyro Bowl with beef and lamb. It was absolutely delicious! They gave a generous amount of meat and there was a good ratio of sauce and veggies. It was very refreshing to ear. I ordered a side of fries that wasn't anything spectacular but I can't say no to fries. I came for their frozen yogurt but unfortunately, the machine wasn't working.

    This is one of the better chain restaurants. They still have the Gyro cut off the spit, not pre-sliced deli style slices that come fake Greek places use. Food is made to order. The fries are reminiscent of In n Out fries.

    Chicken Gyro Pita Combo
    German R.

    I'm struggling with this review. I really enjoyed the cleanliness of the restaurant. The staff takes very good care of the dining area. I really liked the friendliness of the staff. They were very friendly and welcoming. They were great. I didn't love the food. I didn't like the aioli/sauce in chicken gyro. I also felt like it was light on chicken. The fries were a bit soggy and didn't taste very fresh. I'm going to give this place a 3 for the food and 5 for their staff. Averaging the rating out at a 4-star experience for me.

    Good to eat when not wanting super unhealthy fast food. Quick to order. Fresh food and not stuffed feeling. The flavors are not strong Mediterranean flavors here to my preference, but still very good overall.

    Nick the Greek has done it again! The portions are large and the flavors are delicious. Staff and Service: - Order at the register and they'll bring your food to you - Staff are all nice Food: - I used to always go to Nick the Greek in South Bay, so glad there are some in east bay also. The chicken pita wrap is a solid choice and very flavorful - Chicken Gyro Bowl: this bowl is huge - super filling with all of the ingredients Miscellaneous: - Lots of tables available for different sizes - Not super loud, but there is music playing to fill the silence - Good for families

    Where's the meat?
    J N.

    Ordered via app and picked my Mediterranean bowl but there was no meat! I ordered with beef/lamb. Not acceptable to treat a regular customer!

    Don't get the froyo or yogurt ice cream. They barely fill it, there's a huge empty hole inside, and it's only about half a cup.

    I Greek food Greek over Turks + My favorite food was the Greek yogurt because it was on a hotday

    Side Skewer - chicken
    Brandy T.

    This meal hit the spot! Everything in the salad was fresh, the meat was moist and the saffron rice delicious. The portion size was great for the price point. (I called before placing the order to make sure they were not apart of the add mayo to the sauce trend) I ordered a chicken kebab out of curiosity and that was yummy. Also, picked up so pita and hummus. It was good - lemony. I ordered from door dash so I can't speak to the customer service or restaurant it's self. The gyro bowl will inspire me to patronize this place again.

    This was my second time ordering from Sultan's Grill and I went with the gyro plate again since I…read morelove gyro meat. I always ask for the meat to be a little crispy and they get it just right. The plate comes with lamb and beef gyro meat, rice, salad, hummus, and pita. I also asked for their orange yogurt sauce and hot sauce. My partner loves the orange sauce and says it has an umami flavor. For me it is just okay, but I really enjoy their hot sauce. It is not the usual sambal you get at a lot of Mediterranean spots. It has more of a salsa style taste which sounds a little odd but actually works really well. It has flavor without being too spicy, though I do like my food extra spicy. The rice here is also worth mentioning because it is so flavorful and has that umami taste that makes you want to keep eating it. The owner is always very friendly and welcoming too. The restaurant is right next to Target which makes parking really easy. Highly recommend this spot. I will definitely be back and next time I'll probably branch out and try something new.

Crazy ambitious menu with pizza, burgers, wings, kabobs, wraps and many Mid East favs like falafels, dolmas, gyro and babaghanoush. I only tried a couple of items, so I do need to try a few more things eventually. Order at the counter and food will get brought out. Seems like a place popular for take-out/deliveries. On a casual lunch I was impressed by the diversity in the place, as it is downtown Hayward. Young, old and cultural garb from several cultures spotted. Service at the register was friendly, dude gave off ownership vibes. Falafel Wrap ($11/4*) Very fresh and satsifying wrap. Big, soft and puffy pita bread is filled to the brim with fresh salad-like veggies. Chopped lettuce, tomato, onions and a couple of pickled items. Stuffed also with a decent amount of fat disk of falafel and a good dousing of tahini sauce. I loved the bites for the most part as I was full without feeling weighed down for the lunch hours. The falafels had good flavor but just didn't seem as crisp as I usually prefer, didn't seem fresh out of the fryer, which the places that are known for this definitely do. I especially liked the bites more when a pickled veggie entered the bite, so I should have ordered extra...next time. Beef Kabobs ($25/4*) Got this for take-out and it was still good hours later after a reheat. Beef is in small cubes and cooked pretty well done. A bit dry but at least it was flavorful. Definitely taste more Afghan in spicing/marinade, pretty bold with lots of garlic and herbs. De Afghanan out here in the east bay is the gold standard for these types of kabobs and those are cut into bigger chunks and are juicier by a lot. Kabob plates comes with a good amount of seasoned basmati rice, a pita bread, a small green salad and a small scoop of hummus. Even tho $25 seems a bit pricey, there is enough food to justify the price. I was able to make 1.5 meals out of it with a good dinner and a small work lunch. I actually want to try a pizza here and definitely a lamb kabob. I hang out in this downtown area often, so great having another casual option in my back pocket. Yeah Buddy!!
