Delicious food and great portions! The chicken shawerma plate was perfectly seasoned and tender, and the fries were crispy and flavorful. The side salad was fresh with just the right amount of feta. Loved the pita and dip too — everything tasted super fresh. Friendly service and a nice outdoor setup make it even better. Definitely coming back!

Nick the Greek never disappoints. Maya really made the Baklava Dubai Ice cream with greatness. Everything is WORTH it and the location is walk friendly and beautiful environment.

Goooddd gyros! 🥙 it was one of the few places still open around 9 9-10 on state street. The server was very nice and welcoming. I recommend this place for a fast food alternative.😁

We ordered the Mediterranean bowl and a Baklava to share. The bowl was huge and delicious with plenty of protein and salad! The baklava was unique and delicious!

Fast service and pleasant staff. You place your order at the counter, receive a number, and wait at your table for your food to be brought to you. Our order was served very quickly. We enjoyed the Greek-style fries and the vegetable pita. The vegetables in the pita were grilled yet still slightly crispy, which is the perfect texture for a pita. The interior is simple but nice. I highly recommend this place. I will definitely come back to try other dishes.

I hadn’t ever tried Nick The Greek up until a couple weeks ago, but let me tell you: this is by far my number one quick-bite restaurant. The food is excellent and hits the spot every single time. I dined inside the first time tonight and I was just spoiled. The food was made so quickly, the fries are quite possibly the best fries I’ve ever had. The tv in the restaurant was playing The Fairly Odd Parents. I was very very satisfied, great work Nick the Greek!

We had lunch in this place and it was one of the best Greek food we’ve ever had. We ordered a Chicken Souvlaki plate and a Gyro Bowl. Everything tasted great and felt really fresh. The staff is indeed very friendly and the service is fast. Totally recommended! In full disclosure they give you a treat when you post a review, but I would have posted it anyway with the same rating.

Wow, what a yummy lunch I just had! A trainer at my nearby gym was telling me how much he really enjoyed this place so I thought I would revisit it after a long hiatus---Everything in my Mediterranean bowl was delicious! This place is clean and bright, and the staff were so nice. I'll definitely be back sooner rather than later.

I love the Steak Mediterranean Bowl so much. It’s a go to as someone who works downtown who wants something fresh and quick. Great quality ingredients, great customer service and I’ve never waited more than 10 minutes for my food. Highly recommend!

I had a great experience at Nick the Greek. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. The gyro was especially good with well-seasoned meat and really tasty tzatziki. The portions were generous and the staff was friendly. Overall, it’s a great spot for a quick, delicious Greek meal.

Fabulous food!! My family ate all of the food ordered which never happens. The kids recommend the fries and rice. I recommend the bowls with beef lamb. My dad loved the steak sticks. All so good!!

The Beef/Lamb Gyros was great, tasted exactly as the ones I’ve had in Greece! The oregano dusted fries were also incredible, and the staff and atmosphere were perfect. Will visit again!

Good, fast service! Chicken Gyro was good, but I’m not a big fan of the mustard sauce.

So wonderful to have a Greek restaurant downtown Santa Barbara! Service was quick and friendly. Food was tasty. Though my falafel pita was the same price as all the meat options which seems odd.

Nice place with friendly staff. Food was very quick and fresh. Bathrooms aren’t available for dine-in customers, and nearby restaurants and stores require a purchase before entry. Would be a 5-star rating if bathrooms were available.
