Came here for lunch the other day. The chicken here was really flavorful and I would definitely recommend it! We got it with the kid's plate, which was plenty big and honestly a great deal. The falafel bowl was good too, but not as flavorful and I probably would order the chicken instead next time. The sauce was super good though and so was the rice. Food came quickly and parking was metered around the corner.
Meh. We had chicken & beef/lamb gyros. Everything was just OK. The gyro meet was fine, not too salty, just OK. OK. And very little flavor and they gave very little of it. The salad at virtually no flavor. I visited in June 2021, tail end of Covid. Maybe they are just having a very hard time finding staff, but the dining area was filthy. Several of the tables were littered with food on the table at on the floor around. We had to search for a table that wasn't too gross, and ended up finding one that we were able to clean off... read more
Stopped by for lunch during the week after the original place we were headed was closed. Super quick service, and the tables outside were nice in the shade. Food was good! I loved the fries, they were seasoned super well. The lamb gyro was so good too. I loved the pita itself. Only issue was I asked for no onions, but received lots of onions. Everything else was good! Nice stop for a quick meal.
[IN A NUTSHELL] fast food Greek food, delicious fries, gyros :O [VERDICT] - APPROVED [RUN-DOWN] I would sum this place up as a fast food Greek restaurant and I'm not sure if that is correct, but to me it isn't an authentic as I would hope. During COVID there is indoor and outdoor seating and there is a lot of room. I haven't had anything like Nick the Greek but I think it's a place you should definitely try if you're looking to have some good gyros. [SCORE & ORDER] OVERALL: 3.62/5 * Beef/Lamb Gyro Pita $9.95 [made int... read more
their Greek bowls with gyro meat are to die for. The rice, meat, sauce and everything in between is seriously finger lick in' good. There's a decent amount of outdoor tables and with being in the heart of downtown Santa Cruz, it's a great casual eating environment. Their bowl options are huge so be prepared to be stuffed afterward!
I love the Greek salad here. The vegetables are always fresh and tasty. The chicken is flavorful and tender. I survived on ordering Nick the Greek salads during Covid and now that they're open again I save the DoorDash fees and come in person. Great service too!
the menu of this place is really delicious it has a variety and options of rich salads, its place is really nice to take a short break or have a quiet lunch
This food was so fresh and delicious with generous portions! We were staying in a local hotel and ordered through a delivery service. The food was thoughtfully packaged and delivered quickly. We had the beef/lamb gyro and the greek salad with gyro meat. So good!
Love this place!! I tried for the first time last night and they are so nice the food is amazing!!! I used to be a fan of simply greek but wow this place is a million times better First off their portions are huge and all of their food is sooooo flavorful my mouth is watering just thinking of it the employees were so nice and helpful for anything we may have needed! Will definitely be going back stick to nick the greek‼
