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. Their souvlaki is the closest ... read more
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. Other times the meat is made to perfection and then there are times it is grease ridden. The servings are pretty decent as the bowl has some delicious rice and a protein of choice.

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!
The food was amazing! The chicken super tender , the salad super fresh and the service quick. My child is a picky eater and he request seconds . We will definitely come back .
Incredibly fresh like everyone else says! Super conveniently located right on the main road in Santa Barbara! Vegetarian compatible if you only eat plant-based but otherwise get the souvlaki!
The food was super fresh! It came out fast and the service was great! Very clean inside and lots of seating inside/outside.
