Nick the Greek just opened and so we thought we'd try it. I was not disappointed. It's middle eastern food fast. I would rather have this than a burger joint. I ordered the beef/lamb gyro. I thought it was going to be all in one pita but they gave me slices of their meat with pita slices. It was tasty. Balsmati rice was on point. And their side salad was very good and fresh. My husbands Greek salad was fresh and tasty. He loved the feta Block of cheese they gave him and the way the chicken skewer was prepared. Ver... read more
Delicious! Got the Chicken Gyro Bowl and I'll be back to get it again. Everyone I interacted with was very friendly. Place is yum!
Like a lot of Santa Maria residents, I've been waiting for the Nick the Greek restaurant to open-- for two years! Today they had a grand opening with free food from 11:00 to 2:30, so I thought that would be a great way to try it. I waited in line for half an hour or so, but it was so worth the wait! I was expecting a sample plate or maybe a limited menu, but they allowed each guest to choose an entree, a side, and a beverage, which I thought that was very generous! I tried the Souvlaki Plate with chicken, and it came with ... read more
This restaurant doesn't officially open until June 12. Today's June 9. I was scrolling on DoorDash and noticed that they were there and open so I ordered. I got the Gyro plate which came with a Greek salad. I also got an order of the Greek donuts. My donuts were missing the nuts on top but other than that everything was exactly how I ordered it. Ordered at 6 PM and 6 PM. My food was delivered to my door. Everything was warm that was supposed to be warm. The salad was nice and cold. The food is freshly prepared and full of ... read more
I really, really want to like this place given that it's only a mile from my new house. My son and I ordered take yesterday and it was not too good. We got the protein lamb and beef bowls and gyros.The meat tasted like processed meat and kind of reminded me of bologna in texture. The garbonza beans were so dry and almost powdery in texture, way over cooked. I'm a glutton for punishment so we'll probably try again and if it's better, I'll update the review.
I really wanted to enjoy my experience at Nick the Greek, but unfortunately, it missed the mark on several levels. First and foremost, the portion sizes were disappointing--especially for the price. For what I paid, I expected a more generous serving, but instead, I left feeling like I'd just had a light snack. The flavor was also underwhelming. Mediterranean food is usually packed with bold spices and freshness, but the dishes I tried were bland and lacked the depth that makes this cuisine so enjoyable. Presentation-wise... read more
The service was good, but the food unfortunately was not, I got the falafel's salad plate and everything was very bland and tasteless.
Once Great, Now Disgraceful - Nick the Greek Has Fallen Off a Cliff I've been a loyal fan of Nick the Greek ever since the San Jose location opened nearly a decade ago. My wife and I were among the first customers--we still have the original T-shirts they gave out. Back then, the food was incredible. The chicken was carved fresh off the spit, juicy and flavorful, and the pita sandwiches were a steal at $6.99. It was one of our favorite spots. Fast forward to today: we ordered from the Santa Maria location and were met with... read more
Oh man, I would not recommend anyone to come here... The food is awful, souvlaki is supposed to be thin shredded meat. It was thick chunks of meat. The hummus was flavorless and old and thick. The fries were super soggy. The only thing that I said was OK was the Greek salad and the pita bread other than that I would not spend your money here . Absolute trash I was very disappointed because I love Mediterranean/Greek food. Will not come here again The girl at the register was very nice though
