    Side salad
    Alyssa H.

    I visited Nick the Greek on a Monday and it was not crowded. There's ample seating and it is good for small or large parties. The staff was nice and our food was tasty. I got the falafel wrap and my partner got the Souvlaki plate. Would recommend it!

    Dubai Chocolate Froyo
    Natalia W.

    I come here quite often for the Dubai chocolate sundae. Service is always good and I enjoy their other food items as well like the Nick fries.

    I order takeout from here at least once a month - in large part to their BOGO deal on Uber Eats pickup. It's only a couple blocks from my house and I've always had a great experience. Staff is friendly and my order is almost always ready by the time I get there. The place is very clean and bright. A little atypical for something on this part of state street. Will be back again and again I'm sure. (At least as long as they keep the BOGO deal).

    Amazing food! Would definitely come back.
    Githa L.

    Great food! Tastes good and is healthy for me. Would highly recommend! I think it's the best bowl I have tried in a while.

    Ambiance and view from inside of outdoor seating

    Ordered the lamb gyro without fries and it was outstanding. Great tzaziki, delicious and succulent meat, and fresh pita for a fantastic lunch. The service was friendly and helpful. He even noticed me pull out my laptop and came over to give me the password without my asking. Service with a smile that makes you feel welcome and food that hits the spot! Yummy! And your choice of indoor and outdoor seating with a great view of SB life and positive ambiance.

    A part of the Greek salad
    Elaine H.

    On our drive down from Central Coast, a friend and I stopped here for dinner. The Main Street was poppin with so many dinner spots and night life was just starting around 830pm, but we were looking forward to something fresh and quick. We shared a Greek salad, btw, the bowl doesn't have any lettuce. We clearly didn't read and were very confused. It's straight up cucumbers, olives, tomatoes, and feta. A whole bowl of it. Good thing we split because it was SO filling and a side of fries which comes with dill, green onions, feta, and a whole lotta garlic. I would omit the garlic because it was the kind where it burns your stomach. And because we drove hundreds of miles to try the yogurt, we asked for a sample. We will definitely be coming back for it very soon!

    Gryro plate beef/lamb
    Selena T.

    The gyro plate was delicious -- perfectly seasoned meat, fresh veggies, and generous portions. For the price, it was a great deal. Service was fast too, so I didn't have to wait long for my food. Definitely a solid spot if you want a tasty, filling meal without breaking the bank. Will be back!

    Chicken Gyro Pita

    The chicken gyro was so delicious and flavorful. The cashier was kind and generous. The restaurant was very clean. My friend got the Greek salad that was fresh and the pita bread was hot and delicious. I can't wait to come back and try more things on the menu!

    Ordered steak pita, omg it was so delicious! Made my day in Santa Barbara! Very good place, atmosphere and service - it was less then few minutes of waiting . My greek roots appreciate the greek places like this one

    Josh W.

    Not only was the food insanely delicious the customer service was also top notch. Great portions for the price as well. 10/10 will be coming back when I'm in the area.

    Gyro bowl and Mediterranean bowl

    Food is delicious. We tried Mediterranean bowl with steak pita meat and beef/lamb gyro bowl. We liked amount and variety of veggies and taste of the meats. The service is nice, too.

    The Chicken Souvlaki Pita is very good and tender.

    I had come to visit Santa Barbara with family and was hoping to try out this restaurant during our…read morestay, as it came highly recommended by local friends. Unfortunately, the whole restaurant was booked out for a private event the only evening we had available. Thankfully, they were still taking takeout orders. They were a bit busy with the private event, and so they had forgotten to give us one of our bags of food (which we didn't realize was missing until we got back to our hotel), but the staff made up for it by delivering the remainder of our food to us! The food was very tasty and the service was top notch. I would love to return if I'm ever back in Santa Barbara.

The greenery, courtyard setting, and relaxed atmosphere make it an enjoyable place to settle in and enjoy a meal. I ordered the Mashawi Combo, which included lamb, beef, and chicken. All three meats were cooked nicely, with each offering its own distinct flavor and texture. My favorite was the beef because it had a satisfying char. It's a great option if you're having trouble deciding between proteins and want to sample a little bit of everything. What really elevated the meal were the accompanying spreads and sides. The baba ghannouj was smoky and creamy, while the garlic sauce added a rich punch of flavor to the grilled meats. The hummus was smooth, and the tabbouli provided bright, herbaceous contrast that balanced the heavier elements of the meal. One of the highlights for me was the pistachio spread. It was refreshingly different from the usual mezze offerings and paired wonderfully with the warm bread. The addition of pomegranate seeds also brought a burst of sweetness and acidity that made each bit refreshing. The only minor drawback was some confusion regarding my reservation because they couldn't find it even though I called, which created a bit of uncertainty at the start of the evening. Fortunately, the staff handled the situation professionally and remained attentive throughout the meal. Overall, it was a satisfying dining experience with a chill ambiance.

My favorites are: The little gems salad with chicken added. You have to get the green goddess dressing! They make it in house and it's the bomb!! The bahn mi sandwich. It has house made tender brisket, fresh pickled veg on a baguette. So delicious! You can also get it as a salad! You'll never even miss the bread! The Daisy burger. Big meaty patty, with melty cheese, piled high with lettuce, tomato and red onion with a special sauce on a buttery brioche bun! You can really sink your teeth into this one! It also comes with a generous portion of perfectly crispy on the outside tender on the inside fries! Mmm mmm!!! They get really busy so come early!! Definitely a must try!

    The Daisy in Santa Barbara was a bit of a hit-or-miss visit for us…read more The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, with plenty of outdoor seating, and is dog friendly, which is a big plus. You order at the counter and the food is brought over to your table. The service was friendly, though it could have been better--we had to get our own water, cutlery, and napkins and nobody came to check on us throughout the meal. Maybe that was because we came right at opening on the weekend. Food-wise, some dishes were better than others. The smoked brisket banh mi was disappointing, mainly because the brisket was chewy. The burrata-tomato salad with added chicken breast was good and felt fresh and satisfying. The chicken salad sandwich was okay, but the bread was too hard, which made it less enjoyable. On the positive side, my son really enjoyed the kids' grilled cheese sandwich with fries. Overall, The Daisy has a lovely atmosphere, and a great dog-friendly patio, but the food was a bit hit-or-miss during our visit.

    Stopped by this place on a recent visit to Santa Barbara…read more Not a lot of positive to say, but not bad enough to give it one star. That's for the worst of the worst. There was an indoor area, and we didn't know at the time, but there are separate outdoor waiter service areas and counter service. We did counter service. There were two people at registers. There was literally no one in front of us and no marked nor even obvious line area. Naturally we stand a few feet in front of one of the registers waiting for her to say, "can I help you" before we move to. Instead the woman (to make it worse, I think she was the patio manager because she was older than the others and seemed to be doing more things than just working a register) gives us the, "I need you to wait in the line area over there" and points to a barrel with no indication that it's a line. You know like the old David Spade skit. This already left a bad taste in my mouth because again there was no line marked, no one waiting, and it's not like we got up in her space or were being pushy. She was just power tripping. To make it worse, we came here because they literally have "full bar" painted on the outside of the building, and the other places around are mostly wine bars or beer gardens. BUT (keep reading)... One of the young people working calls us from the "line of just us" to help us (because of course the other woman wasn't going to). They have 3 specialty margaritas listed. I ask if I can just get a "regular margarita". She says "no because they only sell pre-made drinks". Uh, what about the FULL BAR? Then we sit down. They have a few long picnic bench style tables. They all had a party at them but they were big so we asked a group if we could share the opposite end. The other customers were cool and had no problem with it. BUT... There were no napkins nor condiments. When our food arrived, it was mediocre. We left unhappy but didn't make a fuss. As we were leaving, the power tripping woman thanked us for coming as if she hadn't just been a total B to us for no reason.

    Honestly... save your money…read more I dropped by this Jordanian restaurant /hookah lounge to chill for a bit, have a beer, and enjoy some hookah. It looked like a cool vibe from the outside, but the whole experience left me super disappointed. When I walked in, the place was empty--just the owner and two staff. No greeting, no welcome, just awkward silence while the owner stayed on the phone trying to fix what sounded like a billing issue. The staff didn't speak much English (which is fine), but there was no real effort to help or explain anything either. Eventually, I got a hookah and a beer--$48.50 for one hookah and one beer. Yeah... nearly $50. No food, no extras. That's wild. Then I was told I had to smoke outside on the back patio, which turned out to be a tiny little corner--maybe 6 by 10 feet--with uncomfortable chairs and a random wood bench. It took 15 minutes to even get the hookah (remember, no one else was there), and when it arrived, it was totally burnt. Overpacked, harsh hits, and I ended up having to scrape it and fix it myself just to get it to smoke right. Wanna know the kicker? You only get three coals. That's it. No refills unless you pay for more. No one checked on us for almost an hour, and when I finally asked for more coals, they said (in broken English and mostly Spanish) that that's all you get unless you pay extra. I've smoked hookah all over the place--three coals is nothing, especially when you're charging $35+. No one came around, no vibe, no music, no nothing. Just me, my burnt hookah, and a beer that wasn't even cold. I really tried to find something redeeming about this place, but nothing hit. The service wasn't there, the product wasn't good, and it honestly felt like I was bothering them just by being there. Bottom line: for $50, you can do way better just about anywhere else--or even at home. Hope they turn it around, but for now, I wouldn't recommend it.
