We are new in this neighborhood and decided to try this place out. Placed an order for gyro plate, pizza puff & hamburger. My toddler seemed to enjoy her pizza puff but what really I am reviewing is the gyro plate with fries. The meat is DRY… not juicy or savory, the seasoning is ok but dam the only part I enjoyed most was the fresh tomato… the onions aren’t even cut fresh. Seemed like they were cut previously and hanging out in the refrigerator for 2 days. The pita bread wasn’t soft, the sauce was too watery/runny.

I can't wait to go back, and Nicky'z is ALWAYS my first stop when I...
Read moreThe food is meh at best and the service is horrible. I ordered 2 hot dogs and a chicken pita and had special instructions. I ordered these through DoorDash. I placed my order. 5 minutes later I got an email saying that the restaurant added an extra $8 and change to my order because of the special instructions. The only things I changed where having no tomato on the chicken pita and only having ketchup and mustard on the two hot dogs. This is outrageous because they didn't notify me of any extra charges until after I placed my order and the Restaurant confirmed it. Severely...
