This place always hits the spot! I'm soooo HAPPY there's one finally in Santa Cruz!!! This location is a great corner spot in downtown SC! There's a parking lot around back, too. I love how spacious the inside is. There's a smaller outside Parker area too. I love the lettuce with Tzatziki and mustard sauce combo on their chicken gyros. Their pitas are always fresh and delicious! I'll be back!!
Wow! The food at Nick the Greek has a wow factor with every bite. Truly a great array of Greek food. My family & I will defiantly be coming back!!
I love their bowls, but the gyros are super greasy as is the meat. The fries are meh.
Consistently good. Gyros and falafel are on point. Love getting this every time. Awesome Uber eats order
I came here for a quick lunch in Santa Cruz. I've seen Nick the Greek restaurants all over but this was the day it was calling my name. The block right in front of the restaurant is closed to traffic (July 2021) so that was nice. It doesn't have much outdoor seating though, just 2 two-person tables right in front. We came in around 11:30am and had the whole restaurant to ourselves so we ate indoors. The space is pretty big and clean. We got the Chicken Gyro Bowl (without sauce) and the Gyro Plate with lamb/beef and fries... read more
Really good hummus with a bold flavor and smooth texture. Great pita bread with a slight charred flavor I like. Perfect falafel balls. Quick service too even with a steady flow of orders on a Friday night. Enjoyed this late night snack.
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.
