“ If you are looking for a great meal in downtown San Jose that wont break your wallet, and this is the place. Their childrens menu is more than adequate for an adult male. The major plus is that it is within walking distance to the SAP Center. We went there right before a Sharks game. The employees were so friendly. ”
“ This place was great. I am not sure how authentic is was, when I visited Greece, I was unable to find gyro, but it was amazing. The pita was fresh and the beef lamb meets were very freshly shaved off the meat rotisserie tree. The food was very good. The service was very fast and attentive. Yes it was a fast food place but it was great. I will be going back. ”
“ This Greek food place has been a Goto favorite. The gyro plate bowls fresh and served at really good portion. Their specialty Frozen yogurt dessert with honey and baklava is my favorite. Also, their Greek fries is good too. Good Greek food in and around San Jose downtown. ”
“ Its Nick the Greek, you know what youre in for. My go to is the lambbeef gyro. I love that the menu is simple and everything comes out very quick minus the burger but most people dont come here for that. Bonus points for being open til 3AM on FriSat as it hits the spot when youre out that late. That comes with the ups and downs of having drunk people trying to get some food in to slow down on processing the extra drinks they definitely shouldnt have had. Or so Ive been told. Thank you for your service Nick the Greek ”
“ Woah wasnt expecting that chicken rice bowl to be that good wow. Lemon garlic velvet goodness. Not rich. Balanced ”
“ Not that they need another review. But wow the Greek food is tasty. I was the only one there since its on a Saturday on a non workday in downtown. You think the food would be dry or sitting there. But no , they cook it and make it fresh! Im so satisfied! Def coming back when Im in town ”
“ Second time at Nick the Greek, first at this location. This experience was considerably better than my first. Food was really fresh and tasty. I highly recommend the greek fries, they actually come with a combo. Only issue was I ordered online and it only asked what side I wanted so I did not think a combo came with a drink, however while I was there after I had already decided to buy a drink separately I noticed on the menu that a combo came with a side and a drink. Will not be ordering online again. ”
“ Ordered takeout on doordash. when I got there I was told my order was already picked up. Wth. I was disappointed but they remade my food even though they didnt have to they were a bit hesitant to do so at first. Steak bowl, chicken bowl, falafel all delicious. ”
