    Nick Sharma try this new spot out !
    Crystal G.

    Cute little spot. I love the mural on the side. I love Persian Mediterranean food. Looks like they're making a Tesla charging station right next to it.

    I'm rating for what this is--a take-out food stand, not a sit-down Mediterranean restaurant. And on that basis, it's great! Prices are extremely reasonable, and portions are very generous. They have shawarma and even lamb chops, unlike most quick-serve Mediterranean places that focus more on gyro. We visit the area often and no doubt will go here again.

    Super fries
    Melerelini I.

    Wow! My husband and I just tried this place and we got shawarma and fries, falafel and a super fries. It was delicious! The meat was well seasoned and tender. Fries were well seasoned and crispy to go with meal. We live 5 minutes away and always said we would try and I'm glad we did! Thank you for the flavorful meal! We are going to go to sleep satisfied! Service was good as well! We will be back soon !

    Greek Fries
    Michael D.

    This was my first time here. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Plate and Greek Fries. The food was good. The chicken was tender. The fries were cooked perfectly. The portions are huge. It's enough for two people or save half for the next day. The Shawarma plate came with rice, pita bread, grilled tomato and pepper and a small salad. The fries had a lot of stuff on it and beef. I asked them what was in it, but it was a lot of ingredients for me to remember. This place is located on the corner of the intersection. It has a small parking lot, but plenty of street parking. This place is more for to go orders. There's no place to sit or dine. When you order they give you the little buzzer thing. It took about 15 minutes to get my food. The cashier was friendly and answered my questions about the food. If you're in the area and are looking for some good shawarma, this is the place to go.

    Feta fries .. they could have put more feta or something . Very little toppings.

    This type of fast food Mediterranean restaurant is by far one of my favorites . I have tried just about all in my area and Nike shawarma is a great contender for #1 in this area ! Their chicken shawarma wraps are very delicious and they don't hold back on the meat portions . I will say while their fries are good , their feta fries were not impressive at all especially for the price . That would be their only room for improvement is their flavored fries

    Salad

    Wow this place was amazing!!! I loved how the chicken shawarma plate came with a small salad on the side it was a nice fresh touch to my meal! :) The chicken was cooked well and the hummus was super good. I didn't order extra hummus but I recommend doing so if you love hummus with each bite of your meal. Definitely a hole in the wall. It's located on a fairly busy corner by the freeway. The food was a 10/10. This is more of a pick up and go type of place since there is no seating. They're really efficient as they use the beeper devices to notify you when your pick up order is ready. Pictures of parking are here! Getting into the parking lot was a little tricky but don't let that discourage you from trying this amazing spot !!!! I'm so happy I found this spot.

    I came here today to try the lamb plate and let me tell you it was great! I got the lamb with basmati rice, salad and pita bread. Also came with a nice tomato and peppers. Portions were good and lots of favor. It's hard to find good rice and this place does it right. The girl who took my order was very nice and explained the menu! I got all the sauces to try which were tasty. The hummus and tzatziki were my favorites of the bunch. I will be back to try the gyro wraps and other items. This is a little gem off the 91 fwy/clark exit. If you're close by and like good persian/mediterranean food this is the place! Go see them for a great meal! Food rating: Lamb chop plate 8.7/10

    Side salad

    This location has been several other restaurants in the past and I really hope this location lasts. Grabbed the mixed schwarma and a gyro and I have to say, both were delicious. The plate was pleasing to the eyes and tasty as well. Enjoyed the fact the veggies were super fresh! Lots of vibrant colors and crunch. Loved it. Construction is hurting this business in the short term but if you are in the mood for some good Greek salads or food, please come give this local spot a try. You will be pleasantly surprised.

    Chicken Shawarma Wrap
    Ana H.

    10/10 would recommend this spot to anyone! Ordered the lentil soup, shawarma combo plate, gyros wrap, chicken shawarma wrap and they were all so tasty The worker at the front is lovely and helpful, the food doesn't take long to come out at all. Chicken is a hit or miss for me at restaurants but I love their chicken shawarma! It's not dry and the sauce they drizzle on top pairs nicely with it. The portions are generous and the side salads are also good. I've gone around 2-3 pm when it's not usually busy- the parking lot is under construction but there is street parking available as well.

    Menu
    Eddie G.

    Overall this place is a solid 8.5/10 not a big menu which is great. When the menu is overloaded I usually don't know what to order. The chicken had very good taste and the garlic sauce on top was very sweet. My only gripe was that you get such a small amount of hummus. The cooked tomato was exceptionally good. There was no wait and it took about 15 min to get my order. Definitely call ahead and place an order since parking is very limited and there is no where to seat if you are waiting. Overall I will be back to try the rest of the items on the menu and I'll update my review accordingly.

    Delicious shawarma and Falafe , reasonable prices. Fast service and amazing flavor and the size of the sandwiches are pretty big.

    First time trying this spot. Awesome service very clean and organized but most importantly the food is delicious. Come down and try it out you won't be disappointed! I ordered the gyro wrap combo.

    Filled to the brim with food lol

    I went to Niks shawarma for my birthday because I wanted something low-key and local, and it was such a great choice. It's a cute little spot (pick-up only) with a nice mural on the side that gives it character. As a Mediterranean food connoisseur, I can honestly say the food was excellent. I ordered the chicken/ beef shawarma dinner with a side of grape leaves, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly done. The portions were massive I was eating leftovers for the next three days! The customer service was just as great as the food. I wish I could remember the young lady's name, but she did a fantastic job and made the experience even better. If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean food with huge portions and friendly service, NIK shawarma is a must-try.

Location 4 stars: In busy downtown Glendale, California. Valet parking is a safe bet and so are the many parking structures nearby. Street parking is mostly metered and hard to come by. If you tell the Valet you are picking up, they let you temporarily park in the front, without charge. Venue 4 stars: Covered Outdoor and Indoor tables. Nothing fancy but comfy and homey. Be prepared to wait quite as bit during busy hours. You can try the Yelp Waitlist to cut down on wait time, BUT when they get really busy they shut down the wait list. Service 5 stars: Usually good. We took out this time and the front desk people were wonderful and extremely friendly and helpful. Drinks 5 stars: Full bar: A few specialty cocktails, premium spirits, beer, wine, soft drinks, tea and coffee. Food 5 stars: Persian food is the main theme with some additions. Large menu of soups, appetizers, salads, specialty rice, stews and beef/lamb/chicken/fish kabobs to choose from. We usually get the the Baba Ghanoush, the Hummus, the Shirazi Salad, the Beef Barg (Filet Mignon) Kabob, the Beef Kabob Koobideh (Luleh Kabob; seasoned ground beef), the marinated chicken Kabob (with or without bone) and the Chicken Kabob Koobideh (Chicken Luleh Kabob; seasoned ground chicken).

The combo also includes pita and two sides; I chose the hummus and yogurt cucumber, which added a nice balance of richness and freshness to the meal. Be prepared for a bit of a wait, as the food does take some time, but it's evident everything is made fresh and to order--well worth the patience.
