Great food, excellent service. Smallish exterior patio on sidewalk facing State St. with usual street noise.
this is a good spot to go to if you're looking for something quick. I ordered their kid's plate with beef gyro and while it was delicious, I found it to be on the salty side. the service was excellent and our food came out really quickly.
I ordered the beef gyro and was disappointed in what I received. The flavor was lacking, and the 5 fries in my gyro were cold and unseasoned. My friend ordered the Greek fries which were fresh and seasoned so I wonder what went wrong with my order.
Here's the deal. As a Greek who grew up in the US, and who has eaten INNUMERABLE souvlak/gyros throughout the years around Athens and elsewhere in Greece. There is no true Greek gyros pita commercially available in the US. Gyros is not compressed ground meat, it is slabs of slow roasted whole meat. The closest you will get is shawarma, an inferior sandwich by taste, but which I nonetheless recommend over any sandwich widely available here, other than a decent souvlaki. So back to Nick's.

Service was awesome the young man up front was super nice and the food came out quick and tasted great! This gets a huge thumbs up from me.
I'm between a 3 and a 4 on this spot as they have good days and bad. Sometimes the flavoring is right on point and other times I feel all I am eating is salty onions.

I recommend the lamb beef combo. The gyros are a perfect size of snack but again the inconsistency goes to the pita (soft sometimes hard other times). They have baklava which is on p... read more
It was good, I tried chicken wrap and enjoyed it. It looked clean, service was good. Overall I recommend. That part of State street is closed to traffic so you need to park somewhere close and walk.
Today, was my first time trying their food! Absolutely enjoyed my dish! Plenty of flavor in each bite. Good portion size.
The reviews were good so I had high expectations! Ordering was easy, and menu selection was great! I got a Greek salad and a gyros bowl. The Greek salad was honestly...really bad. The tomatoes were such a pale pink and grainy...and the cucumbers had that slimy layer...like not fresh. I was really disappointed. The gyros bowl on the other hand was delish!
