I love nick the Greek but this location was a bad experience. I decided to get it for my birthday and was talking up the chicken to my girlfriend about how juicy it is. The meat was bone dry like it had been left out all day. I have been to other nick the Greeks probably 10 times but I have never gone to one by my home until now. The side of pork belly we got was our saving grace. The fries were also really bad. My friend introduced me to nicks fries and I love them but these were very soggy with oil. I really went out on a limb hyping it up for my girlfriend and it was my first bad experience here. I'm thinking it has to be the location.

Worst falafal one can eat. Totally raw and does not taste like falafal at all. It might be different but definitely not a falafal. Food packaging was good but food was not single star quality..

Super friendly and welcoming staff! Gilberto helped me with my order and really went above and beyond for customer service. He made sure my meal was exactly how I wanted it and made my lunch here fantastic. Thank you!

One of my favorite chains. Healthy and fresh. Only one time did my order get messed up (received lambsouvlaki instead of chicken. The lamb was super fatty and not edible). But I highly recommend the chicken souvlaki. They used to serve a yellow lemon sauce, which I loved. I hope they bring it back. The frozen yogurt is a must try if you're a froyo fan. Yummy!!

Nick the greek is always on point. It does not matter which location you go to, they are always consistent. I am so happy to have 2 locations by my work, this one being one of them. The food is good even near closing hours. Fresh always!

Didn't like the meat :( Tried both beef and lamb combo and pork belly. The former was okay, while the pork belly was way too fatty with big chunks of chewy fat.

Upon arrival, I walked into a clean restaurant with ample indoor seating. I was immediately greeted by the cashier with a friendly smile, personable, and professional. I ordered the Greek salad for take out which was ready in less than 5 minutes. The salad was a great size that fed me for a meal and provided two sides as leftovers. All ingredients were fresh and flavorful. Their version does not include lettuce. The best part was their feta cheese and was some of the best feta cheese that I've ever had. I was impressed with how fresh my salad still was as leftovers with dressing on it. I had the right amount of dressing that was flavorful yet light enough to not overtake the other flavors without drowning it.Important Information : Like every other business at this shopping center, parking is almost always and can be relied upon to be an epic and challenging adventure especially on the weekends and more-so weekend evenings. Every business seems to be steady and busy. Highly recommend all the spots that I've visited so far.Tip: There are additional park spots behind the businesses across the parking lot that are accessible on Steven's Creek behind the mechanic shop, in between Alex's bar and Hustler, and from Bascom behind Shoe palace. Along with many friendly employees from the local businesses, this area is known for robberies, rowdiness, and strange behaviors. It is important to be aware of your surroundings, lock your car, and keep valuables out of sight. That said, common sense and awareness are pretty effective for a safe and positive positive experience.

The chicken was dry like it had been sitting out all day. The little pieces of meat were hard on the outside and dry inside making hard to chew. At least the fries were okay.

I've never walked into a restaurant and have the cashier ROLL HER EYES. I didn't get her name but she had these big wire/metal glasses. Not only did she roll her eyes when I walked in but she was giving me the dirtiest look as I was ordering. I was hoping my food wouldn't be as nasty as the cashier's attitude but I was wrong unfortunately. I got a chicken gyro and I took one bite and threw the whole thing away. The chicken tasted dry like it was out for hours. It was stringy and disgusting. They put 1 piece of tomato too. I wish I didn't have to throw the whole thing away but it was not edible whatsoever.
Disappointing compared to the downtown SJ outlet. Ordered a falafel bowl - the rice was bland and over cooked, the sauces were sour and the food just seemed stale. I’ve been to the outlet in downtown San Jose atleast 3 times and it has delivered every single time.

So happy we got a Nick the Greek so close to our house now! The wife and I make it a weekly thing to walk over and have dinner. Their place itself is always super clean and the woman who works the register is super nice, friendly and makes you feel welcome to their establishment as well as conveying such a great sense of appreciation for the support and business. My personal go-to here is the Gyro combination with fries (regular or garlic) and a drink. One thing I love about this place is that everything is made to order so everything comes out FRESH and HOT! I'm such a stickler when it comes to luke -warm or cold food when eating out, so this is pure joy to me haha! Again, love that we have another Greek option as Falafel Drive-In down the street seems to be hit or miss lately.

After failing to obtain food at Falafel's I drove a couple blocks to Nick's. There were a couple of other refugees from Falafels in line with me. I ordered the beef/lamb gyro. It was $12 which seems slightly pricey except this is Silicon Valley and everything is expensive these days. The gyro was very good and filling. I also got a side of fries which is kind of unnecessary since the gyro was more than enough. Thin fries which were pretty decent. Food was good and it's pretty cute inside so I definitely recommend.

All the food here has been a Go-to favoriteThe gyro plate/ bowls are served at a really good portion. They have a good Kid-friendly menu and we have always wanted to try there specialty Frozen yogurt dessert with honey and baklava.

Limited parking, but everything else was smooth and tasted great. The gyro salad exceeded expectations.
