    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
    Emily D.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    This place has popped up on Yelp for me a few times, so when I was craving Afghan food I decided to…read moregive it a try. I placed an online order for lamb kabob and chapli, but shortly after I got a call from (I'm guessing) the owner letting me know they were out of chapli. I switched to the tikkah kabob instead. The restaurant is in a pretty sketchy area, but the owner was very nice and welcoming when I picked up my order. The portions were generous with plenty of meat and rice. I did notice that some Yelp photos showed a salad included, but mine didn't come with one. I think the meal could really use some greens to balance out the heaviness of the meat, rice, and pita. The tikkah was a little on the salty side, but the lamb was good. The highlight for me was the green sauce which tasted fresh, citrusy, and cilantro-based. My partner loved it too. The pita bread, however, didn't come with any sauce. I wish it had something like hummus or a yogurt dip to go with it. If I go back, I'd want to try the chapli. Overall, it was solid but not a spot I'd make my regular since I can usually find Mediterranean or Middle Eastern food under $20 that comes with meat, rice, and salad included. Here, it looks like they charge $5 extra for a salad, and factoring in the location, I don't think I would pay that.

We needed a place to grab food with our kids post-zoo trip and this hit the spot in every way. How does this place have so few reviews?! Extremely unassuming exterior, but we were very pleasantly surprised it had 5 parking spots attached to the building. Only one table inside plus two window seat areas, but it was very clean and inviting. The staff was friendly, helpful and were SO nice to our 2 and 4yo. Majority of the menu has zero spiciness which was great for our kids who still only aspire to like spicy. They had a couple takeout orders picked up while we were there but no other dine in folks (this was 6-7p on a Saturday). -pita + hummus - this is when I knew we were in for a treat. We got this as a starter to help tie hangry kids over, but hoooo boy. The pita was amazing and the hummus spices were so good. If my 4yo hadn't loved it so much I probably would've eaten it all myself before the other dishes showed up. - lamb shank was truly fall off the bone meltingly amazing. The sauce was also so good. My 4yo couldn't get enough! It came with a full plate of flavorful spiced basmati rice that my 2yo ate by the handful + perfectly crisp fresh salad. The amazing salad dressing meant I couldn't help but eat most of it... which is saying something because I'm usually averse to cucumbers. - combo kebab with chicken and steak was well cooked, moist and not dry. Our 4yo also gave the chicken a thumbs up too. While we live far away in South Bay, we will definitely be back again next zoo visit. Highly recommend as dine in or take out! Looking forward to trying more dishes next visit, maybe a dessert too!

I tried to save half because I wanted my husband to be able to try it, but I just couldn't stay away from the damn thing lol. Unfortunately, I think it was a special so they don't always have it. Get it if they have it! And I'll be back to try other stuff for sure.
