Nick the Greek — Restaurant in San Jose

I've only ever ordered from Nick via Door Dash, so I can't testify to the service or the atmosphere. (Though I will say that NEVER has an order been wrong, so I guess that speaks to "Service" for which I will give it 5 stars!)

Anyway, I've tried a couple of things on the menu, but my favorite Greek food (since childhood actually) is the Gyro! And, boy, Nick's makes a great gyro.

I stick to the traditional beef/lamb combo, and it's SO good. I don't know if you like messy sandwiches and hamburgers, but I do. And a gyro is just a Greek sandwich/wrap, so is it any surprise that I like it messy? And Nick's gyro is messy! Yum. And huge. Double yum.

But I confess that I like falafel just as much and have discovered their falafel plate. OMG! This is my winner! I now order this EVERY TIME I order from Nick's.

It is WAY filling, so I wouldn't blame you if you can't finish it. I mean, we are talking about 5-7 falafel, fries, pita triangles, and a salad... accompanied with tsatziki (and my apologies because I KNOW I spelled that wrong!) and hummus.

If you find you can't finish it, no biggie. It makes a wonderful leftover lunch the next day.

I also love the frozen yogurt. Plain, it's a refreshing treat. (And you do get a lot.) But add on the honey and pieces of baklava, and it becomes a decadent dessert. And don't worry. This freezes (with or without the add-ons) so you can enjoy it anytime! Eat a little after dinner, then put the lid back on and pop it in the freezer for later.

A year or so ago, I tried their lemon soup (don't remember the menu name), and it was good. But that was when I was new to Nick's and sampling the menu to find my favorite.

And now that I'm a gyro or falafel girl, I don't even think about ordering anything else.

So try Nick's. I'm sure the restaurant is nice. But even if you have to Dash it, you'll enjoy good food.

We have been coming to this location for years. There were up and downs for quality of the food. But today is the day we decided to write about it. Rice is too mushy and big balls of something of an old taste Chicken supposed to be shredded but it was bunch of big hunk of meat mixed up with some dried up chicken (really, it was not only dry but it made crunchy sound like potato chips!) Not sure why they couldn't properly put the skewers inside of the box.... Two young guys who work at the cash register in evening shift, usually ignorant. One time, the guy was "working" on his phone on "social media". We stood in front of the cash register for a while. I cleared my throat, letting him know that he had customers, he looked at us and continued with his phone adventure. Waiting there for extra 40 seconds seems to be too much since he already noticed us. I would like my employees to wipe tables, restock the straws, check the soda machine and check the bathroom cleanliness when there is...

After hearing strong recommendations we ordered Nick the Greek catering via the EZ cater website, and we were disappointed that we didn't get what we ordered. We asked for the Spartan package for 65 people ($1,500), and we received a different selection of meats and only enough food for 45, and no Baklava. The EZ cater folks did give us a 50% refund, but it doesn't make up for the fact that we were short on food for 20 people and had no dessert. Very disappointed in EZ cater. Also the delivery was outsourced to door dash so actually communicating with anyone was tricky because the delivery person didn't know anything, and the EZ cater people didn't have a direct line to Nick the Greek so they couldn't establish where our food was or if we received someone else's order and our order was delivered elsewhere. Food was tasty and warm, but not...
