Nice spot... grabbed some kebabs to enjoy. It was quick service and my belly was filled.
I've been craving their honey baklava froyo, so I was happy to find a location when we stopped by Santa Cruz. Made the perfect after-lunch sweet treat to share with the family! Very generous portion of baklava (honestly would've preferred a more froyo-heavy proportion, but that might not be a widely shared opinion). Fast service. I was tempted to try the dubai chocolate froyo but seems pretty pricy for its size - maybe one day. But what we got definitely hit the spot on this warm, sunny Saturday!
Service was very friendly. And food was good. About $15 for gyro + fries and a drink. They put fries in the gyro which was unusual the pita plate was good but need some siracha for more flavor. We sat outside although all the seating was pretty dirty and dusty. The patio just needs a good quick pressure wash. Overall would recommend.
Update to my review from 3 years ago. This visit was much better, but still had its snags. I'm tickled that we had a better experience, but still many setbacks. We came in just before 5pm on Sunday and were the only customers. The interior is spacious, but was a big mess. All but one of the dirty tables had food or spilled drinks. I felt finding the lone table that wasn't trashed was a big win. The garbage area had spilled food on top and on the floor. The many chairs were pushed out as if all the diners got up and left i... read more
While visiting Santa Cruz we stopped in at Nick the Greek. Ordered a salad with chicken and pita, unfortunately the chicken was dry and the sauce for the salad was way too much. Next time I will try something different. My co-worker had a gyro and it looked amazing. Service was simple, order at the counter. Restaurant was clean, open and worked well for us to discuss business.
Me and my bf stumbled into this place while walking around. We ordered the original Greek yogurt with baklava. The worker was so cute she knew we were sharing this sweet treat so automatically gave us 2 spoons. Definitely add the baklava is such a great addition to this dessert. We really enjoyed it! The interior here is also nice.
Very good and flavorful, lots of different options and vegetarian ones as well! Me and my partner are vegetarian, and our two friends aren't, so there was something for us all. We got the falafel wrap, Greek fries, and pita with hummus
Friendly, helpful service. Good was delicious!!! I was visiting from out of state, and can't wait for the opportunity to return to Nick the Greek!
I love this place but I feel like the portions got smaller. Coming here every other day i would get full, this time I didn't have any left overs. I'll get more again soon but yeah. Love this place but smaller portions now
