The gyro fries are filling enough to be full meal. Their Menu has variety with a lot of flavor. Their Greek Froyo is refreshing! Has that tartness (but not as much as Yogurtland orig Asian style) and not too sweet. Recommend if you are craving pita Mediterranean! read more

This restaurant came up when I was looking for ice cream and based on the yelp photos, it seems like it was well known for their froyo so I decided to give it a try. I got the Pistachio Cream with "Dubai Chocolate" which the employee mentioned was one of the two most popular choices. The next thing I see is the employee dripping melted chocolate all over the froyo and adding the pistachio drip. I would say I throughly enjoyed the chocolate and pistachio drip! Although I would say Greek froyo is not it, mainly because it's not very sweet and has hints of sourness if anything, so really lives up to the name of Greek yogurt. It was a great new experience but probably not my cup of tea. read more

We know this is a chain, but we've never been to one before. I was craving something sweet. I ordered a Greek yogurt with the pistachio Dubai chocolate topping. So good. The tartness of the Greek yogurt complicated the sweetness of the pistachio Dubai chocolate topping. I can't speak much of the ambience. The place looked clean enough, there's seating inside and outside and I got my ice cream quick which I appreciated. The food looked and smelled amazing. I'd come back again for either a dessert and something more savory to eat. I recommend. read more

It was OK but not stellar. The gyro was kind of dry, not exactly a meat chip but close. The Greek salad was bland. Was there any vinegar? And the feta was bland, bland, bland. The ONLY pop of flavor were the olives. The pita triangles/chips were my favorite component. The gyro plate was hard to eat as a whole. The service was good as it gets when you walk up to the counter and order and they did bring the food to the table. Atmosphere, loud with lots of hard surfaces and competing music on outside wasn't their fault it was messing with their Vibes inside. Would I go again? Bottom line... Nope. read more

It's just insulting to have a hollow ice cream, frozen yogurt and it comes out of a machine.

To be totally honest, I was a little bit intimidated by how the process works. But I assume caught on that. It was almost like a chipotle kind of style place. I decided to go with a bowl. I was able to choose between three types of different bases, and I went with the basmati rice and the couscous was able to choose a couple of salad options as well. Luckily, we were able to mix and match since I can never make a decision on getting All three types of greens that they have. Then moved over to the hummus section and I was able to get the three most popular hummus flavors, which I actually don't remember what I got. I know one of them was an olive flavored one and another one was a little more spicy. Then over to the protein side of things, you can mix up to two different choices, and some of the other options there is an upgrade fee. Then removed over to the toppings and these are all unlimited and so I was able to get feta cheese, tomatoes, olives, purple cabbage, everything was so endless and amazing At the very end, you're able to choose two different kind of sauces and at the very end, my bowl was actually pretty heavy in weight but most importantly it was very delicious Thank you to the team member here that was very helpful and walked me through the process.

As I continue my exploration of Ventura's culinary offerings, today's visit led me to Nick the Greek. My companion and I opted for the Falafel Pita and the Souvlaki Plate, with chicken as our protein choice. For beverages, we selected sparkling water and a soda. The establishment exuded a clean and inviting ambiance, and the attentive staff provided helpful suggestions to alleviate our indecisiveness. The Souvlaki Plate presented a generous serving size, accompanied by a side salad. The rice was exceptionally flavorful, characterized by a distinctive zest that tantalized the palate. The chicken was remarkable, succulent and tender with an explosion of flavors and spices. The Falafel was delectable, characterized by its richness and robust flavor. The Greek fries served as an excellent accompaniment to the pita. Overall, the meal was highly satisfying. Notably, Nick the Greek is proudly locally owned, making it a commendable choice for supporting local businesses. I eagerly anticipate returning to this establishment to further savor its offerings. read more

Really good baklava is golden-brown and glossy on top, with delicate flaky layers that lightly crackle when you bite into it. It should be moist from the syrup but not soggy, striking a balance where the sweetness doesn't overwhelm the buttery, nutty flavor. A generous, evenly spread filling of finely chopped pistachios or walnuts adds texture, and the layers should stay visible and hold their shape when picked up. The best baklava gives a slight crunch first, then melts with rich syrup and butter, leaving a balanced, satisfying sweetness that makes it hard to stop at just one read more

Absolutely crushed meals here two weeks in a row. The chicken souvlaki and falafel are fantastic. The pita is so fluffy and the hummus pairing is just wonderful. The frozen yogurt with baklava and honey is a perfect finish and just a tad sweet. Our server recommended getting rice on the side and I truly believe their basmati is king of rice.

I went with my friend, and the food was perfect for satisfying my cravings. I got the spanakopita and the flavor and textures were amazing. We also tried the fries, which were delicious. He said the beef gyro had the perfect "hints of umami and saltiness." Will definitely go back. read more

This place is a hidden gem. The Greek yogurt is thick, creamy, and perfectly balanced--not too tangy, not too sweet. You can really taste how fresh it is, especially when paired with their honey and fruit toppings. Every spoonful feels indulgent but still light and refreshing. read more

The Lamb Chop plate had four lamb chops rice hummus and a salad I substituted the salad for hummus as it came with pita bread and since I love pita bread I doubled up my hummus my wife had the big grill combo which was three skewers filet mignon, chicken and a ground beef kebab.She said she's in love.. not with me but this place..I know what she really meant.. The location is beautiful on the outside ,plenty of outside seating for the space and the inside is clean and smells great. They also have dessert which I was not ready to eat but look very good I may get one for my morning meal. Overall this was a 5 out of five they had a Juneteenth Festival going on across the street I'm glad I ate here before I went over there they had very little variety over there and I would have been disappointed and probably ended up with the bubble guts.

I've…read morebeen to this plaza many times I've been to all the stores next to it and used to come here when it used to to be another business. To be totally honest, I was a little bit intimidated by how the process works. But I assume caught on that. It was almost like a chipotle kind of style place. I decided to go with a bowl. I was able to choose between three types of different bases, and I went with the basmati rice and the couscous was able to choose a couple of salad options as well. Luckily, we were able to mix and match since I can never make a decision on getting All three types of greens that they have. Then moved over to the hummus section and I was able to get the three most popular hummus flavors, which I actually don't remember what I got. I know one of them was an olive flavored one and another one was a little more spicy. Then over to the protein side of things, you can mix up to two different choices, and some of the other options there is an upgrade fee. Then removed over to the toppings and these are all unlimited and so I was able to get feta cheese, tomatoes, olives, purple cabbage, everything was so endless and amazing At the very end, you're able to choose two different kind of sauces and at the very end, my bowl was actually pretty heavy in weight but most importantly it was very delicious Thank you to the team member here that was very helpful and walked me through the process. I think I might've been too overwhelmed. Otherwise I might've just opted for the burger which I may still have to try next time. The sweet potato fries also look very good and I will have to try those next time for sure. There's a ton of parking spots right outside. I can't get a little bit busy here so she'll be so many different food options but generally, I haven't really had an issue with finding a spot.

Naturally, I made an unscheduled detour. Inside was a dangerous number of delicious-looking sweets staring back at me with absolutely no regard for my self-control. After a long moment of serious dessert contemplation, I landed on the bread pudding. The staff member taking my order wasn't especially warm or friendly, but honestly, the bread pudding and I were already emotionally committed to each other, so I carried on. Back at the hotel, after absolutely demolishing our Greek feast, we discovered we had no remaining space for dessert. Not even a ceremonial bite. Tragic. But fate intervened in the form of portion size. That bread pudding was enormous. What began as "dessert for tonight" became breakfast for the next couple of mornings, and frankly, waking up to leftover bread pudding by the harbor felt like excellent life planning on my part. Rich, delicious, comforting, and worth the impulsive bakery detour. Sometimes the best travel decisions happen because your eye catches one magical word while crossing a parking lot.
