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.

I normally am pretty picky when it comes to Mediterranean food but this place is GREAT! The chicken gyro is the best I've ever tried! They put mustard instead of tzatziki sauce, and it really complimented it well! The lamb/beef gyro is also great. High recommend this place, definitely my go-to!!

Tried the chicken gyro for the first time during my visit to Santa Cruz and I absolutely loved it! Great flavoring, super tasty, and amazing service. Loved how easy it was to eat, felt super authentic. Will be back 100% whenever I'm back in the city.

Great food! Great service!! I was happy to see they were all wearing gloves and mask. I had the gyro bowl and it was great! Full of flavor and light. We also ordered the baklava and it was very tasty! I'll be ordering from them again! Great new addition to Santa Cruz.

I've always heard good things about Nick the Greek! I recently tried it for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. My boyfriend and I ordered for delivery on Uber eats or DoorDash - I cant remember which. I ordered the chicken souvlaki plate and my boyfriend got nick's fries. The portions here are huge! They give you so much. It's a bit pricier than I expected but they definitely do give you a lot. The chicken souvlaki plate had two big chicken skewers, fries, pita bread and salad. The chicken was super tender and mo... read more
