Nick The Greek — Restaurant in Fresno

I came across the place by accident (a very happy one). I've never had food from Nick the Greek but I was pleasantly surprised to have another Greek/Mediterranean food option in the valley as it's one of my favorite cuisines. I'm not sure what issues all the other reviewers had but the girl behind the counter and the gentleman behind the grill were friendly and super helpful with their suggestions. Yes, Mediterranean food is pricier wherever you go but you pay a premium for quality. If you want cheap food, then you get what you pay for

I ordered the Prasini salad with chicken Souvlakis. The Souvlakis was the only real disappointing thing as it was dry. I was a little unsure about the salad at first because it looked a little plain, but once I tried the salad with the lemon vinaigrette it was one of the freshest and tastiest salads I have had in a while. The salad dressing is money and I would gladly pay to take a bottle of that dressing home. Next, I ordered a side of hummus. The hummus was pretty standard with a little drizzle of oil and paprika, but the toasted pita with herbs that came with it was a nice surprise. Presentation is everything 👌. My husband ordered the gyro plate with beef/lamb. It looked pretty standard. Meat could have been seasoned a little better but it was tender and juicy. I have had bad and dry gyros before and this is not that. His plate came with a side salad which was a nice touch.

Overall, the food here is good and the service was good. Not the best Greek food I have ever had but will definitely come back to try some of their...

I am ecstatic that we have a Nick the Greek in Fresno!! Walked in right before a rush and was greeted right away. Although I’m not positive, I’m pretty sure that it was the owner who greeted us. Customer service was exceptional, helpful with the menu and brought our food to us. We ordered the falafel pita combo with salad and a soda and the Beef/Lamb plate with fries and a soda. Falafels were warm and flavorful. Salads were good with tomatoes that were very good for this time of the year. The beef/lamb plate was eaten by an extremely picky person and he said that the meat was delicious!! It was tender, juicy, and very flavorful. The pita wedges and fries were warm and perfectly seasoned. I have experience in corporate QSRs (quick serve restaurants) and I would be remiss if I didn’t bring up a few other things. The sodas were great, which some people will take for granted but the fountain machine is being taken care of, it was clean and the syrups (BIBs) were obviously in code. The restaurant was very clean with several surfaces that will show dirt/dust quickly and those surfaces were spotless. Ceiling, vents, light fixtures, floors, tables, chairs, and even the trash can was clean.

Do yourself a favor and stop by Fresno’s first Nick the Greek, you will not be...

To think that this location compares to the bay areas is laughable. As a silicon valley native I was excited and highly anticipating this locations opening, but my experience was unpleasant and the food was not up to the same standard. Not only was the food thrown together but the person who seemed to be management was rude and dismissive though I smiled and greeted the cashier and staff. He was off-putting and gave a very prejudice vibe which is not a good look in this day and age. Needless to say I will no longer bring my family or suggest N.T.G especially if this management has any connection to the bay locations. There are many other authentic Mediterranean places in clovis/fresno that are much more satisfying and friendly. I would suggest treating all paying customers with the same respect as they are what keeps you...
