This place is lowkey fire. I like the Greek salad, I wish there was more feta and olives in it so maybe ask for extra if you like those. Otherwise it's very good. I've tried all the meats and don't really like them but the falafel is always good. Maybe I've just gotten unlucky with the meats but they've always been dry or unpleasant. The baklava is sooo good def recommend. Idk if this is authentic, it's more of a chain style fast food style Mediterranean but it's still super good. The fries are usually good too. I like the s... read more

First time ever eating Nick's, and definitely will be a regular now. So. Freakin. Bomb. I got a simple Falafel pita with extra sauce (and they hooked up the sauce , definitely) and it was just overall magical. I also got hummus and pita bread for later, which also did not disappoint. Love love lovvveee this place!

Souvlaki pita sandwich is really terrific: the sweet onions give it a uniquely delicious taste. Can't wait to come back again.

For vegetarians, Greek is almost always a safe bet and Nick the Greek did not disappoint! The falafel was so good. The falafel itself was nice and moist, perfectly cooked, and that tzatziki sauce would make anything taste good. Great options for the meat-eaters as well. This place is a big win for everyone!

FOOD 5/5: Outstanding food. One of the better Nick the Greek locations. Gyro bowls and Nick Fries are the go-to every time. Hummus and pita is 2.5/5 star though, would avoid. SERVICE 4.5/5: Friendly service. Sometimes they can be kind of slow in the kitchen even though it's packed of people. AMBIANCE 4/5: Nothing special to add, just a standard interior. PARKING 1/5: Downtown Santa Cruz. Parking is terrible. Just park at the paid lot around the corner. NOTES: None.

Delicious! first time eating here. Got takeout thanks to Covid and it couldn't have been smoother or faster. I called in my order and it was ready for me by the time i got there. Great set up for the times. Hand sanitizer by all doors, asking patrons to use it upon entering and of course masks. Now on to the good part: the food. beef/lamb gyros were SOOO delicious. i also ordered a side of the spicy yogurt sauce to go with it. a great addition i might add. We will be back for sure!

I love gyros, and their pretty good here. It's just, I wish their fries weren't so soggy. Otherwise this place would be a solid 10. Points for hospitality, they gave away tp during covid and I thought that was very thoughtful.

I was impressed by their falafel wrap, crunchy fresh veggies, flavorful sauce, perfectly cooked falafel. My friend got their beef/lamb combo and said the meat was tasty too. The Greek fries are adorned with garlic, herbs, and feta- really tasty. Not as good of a menu selection as Vasilis but the service is quick and the food way surpasses what I would consider "fast food". If you like Greek food I recommend giving this place a try.
