However I wasn't a huge fan of the salad I opted for as the side. It was over seasoned with whichever herb or seasoning they used, oregano maybe.

When I DMd their instagram they told me they were permanently closed. Out of respect that they deserve I decided to still do this review. I somehow skipped over this place when I did my last round of vacation reviews last year or so. Anyways I found them by chance on my way to get coffee after my flight back into Oakland. I ordered their chicken shawarma and gyro combo plate. I think this was my first time trying the Greek variations of these items. I'd say their flavors were maybe more bright, light and fresh compared to that of the middle eastern counterparts who have a richer depth of flavor. Maybe this is just how this specific restaurant did it? Or maybe that's how the Mediterranean version just is? Anyways they were very nice to allow me to bring in my coffee from a couple of doors down. The workers were so nice and accommodating. The restaurant was nice and clean as well. I'll miss coming to this place on my way home from the Oakland Airport.

The base (rice/salad) was fresh and well-prepared, not an afterthought. The rice was fluffy and seasoned just enough to stand on its own, and the greens were crisp--not wilted or soggy. Everything layered together the way it should. You weren't digging through it trying to find flavor--it was in every bite. The toppings were fresh and balanced, and nothing felt excessive or thrown on just to fill space. The tzatziki sauce sealed it--cool, creamy, with a clean garlic finish that didn't overpower the dish but elevated it. Drizzled just right, not drowning the bowl.

The plate comes with lamb and beef gyro meat, rice, salad, hummus, and pita. I also asked for their orange yogurt sauce and hot sauce. My partner loves the orange sauce and says it has an umami flavor. For me it is just okay, but I really enjoy their hot sauce. It is not the usual sambal you get at a lot of Mediterranean spots. It has more of a salsa style taste which sounds a little odd but actually works really well. It has flavor without being too spicy, though I do like my food extra spicy. The rice here is also worth mentioning because it is so flavorful and has that umami taste that makes you want to keep eating it. The owner is always very friendly and welcoming too. The restaurant is right next to Target which makes parking really easy. Highly recommend this spot. I will definitely be back and next time I'll probably branch out and try something new.

This place deserves an award for consistency!…read more I frequent Nick the Greek, and my top two locations are Union City and Foster City, but Union City has NEVER failed me. The food is always fresh, always delicious, and consistently made right. I've never received brown, wilted lettuce or undercooked meat...just perfection every single time. What really stands out is that they obviously have great management that cares about both the food they serve and their customers. You can tell there are high standards here, and it shows in every visit. Honestly, the other locations should take notes because this one really is that good. The Castro Valley location's rice often tastes like Rice-A-Roni, which is pretty off-putting. The San Leandro location actually got me sick, and I never received a phone call back after reporting it. I'll gladly drive out of my way to come to the Union City location because I know exactly what I'm getting: fresh food, quality ingredients, excellent service, and a team that clearly cares about their customers.

Mediterranean franchise that serves up delicious gyros and fries that can get loaded with extras…read morebut beware that the extra toppings may not be proportional to their price. Nick The Greek has all the classic schwarma and kabobs you're craving for from Mediterranean cuisine with a more modern, convenient twist through their pita and plate combos consisting of standard fries as well as those loaded with generous portions of meat and sauces. As with most gyro places, the schwarma slices are the highlights and Nick The Greek has a good beef/lamb schwarma that came with crispy ends in my most recent order. The combo of fresh veggies, fries, and schwarma made each bite a hearty one. The crunch from the lettuce paired well with the soft pita bread holding the whole thing together. With each order, you're able to request add ons for additional costs but for the amount you pay, you'd expect a generous portion of the add on but it doesn't seem to be the case. A request for "extra fries" amounted to about 6 strings and tomatoes and olives were almost non-existent. Fortunately, I was able to cover most of the costs with a coupon code so it wasn't too big of a deal that there were less toppings or things completely missing. To go with my gyro, I also ordered a side of their Nick's Fries which are just fries topped with meat, sauces, and some green onions. I opted for the beef/lamb schwarma and it was certainly a meal in itself at this point. The fries still had some rigidity but because of the sauces, they were pretty soaked. The flavors were still enjoyable and the giant slices of meat made for a very filling side. I also got a cup of their strawberry dragonfruit juice and it was refreshing. A bit sweet but the tartness was good balance and quenched my thirst as I was consuming the savory meal. The staff were welcoming and quick to fulfill the order. I had ordered take out and everything was ready by the estimated time and packaged nicely - no messes by the time I got home to enjoy the meal. It definitely helped to have such a large parking lot which made the quick pick up that much quicker. For those looking to dine in, they have plenty of tables inside the shop and a few outdoors if you're keen on soaking in some sun. Overall, Nick The Greek satisfies that Mediterranean craving with their menu of pitas, plates, bowls, salads, and fries. The staples you'd expect like schwarma and falafel are made well here and the prices are reasonable for the quality and amount of food you get. With their mobile app, you may earn rewards that can be redeemed for more food so if you're a frequent visitor, you'll benefit greatly! If you're looking for a quick lunch or early dinner, Nick The Greek rarely has a line and can get your food ready to go and packing in your belly in no time.

Crazy ambitious menu with pizza, burgers, wings, kabobs, wraps and many Mid East favs like falafels, dolmas, gyro and babaghanoush. I only tried a couple of items, so I do need to try a few more things eventually. Order at the counter and food will get brought out. Seems like a place popular for take-out/deliveries. On a casual lunch I was impressed by the diversity in the place, as it is downtown Hayward. Young, old and cultural garb from several cultures spotted. Service at the register was friendly, dude gave off ownership vibes. Falafel Wrap ($11/4*) Very fresh and satsifying wrap. Big, soft and puffy pita bread is filled to the brim with fresh salad-like veggies. Chopped lettuce, tomato, onions and a couple of pickled items. Stuffed also with a decent amount of fat disk of falafel and a good dousing of tahini sauce. I loved the bites for the most part as I was full without feeling weighed down for the lunch hours. The falafels had good flavor but just didn't seem as crisp as I usually prefer, didn't seem fresh out of the fryer, which the places that are known for this definitely do. I especially liked the bites more when a pickled veggie entered the bite, so I should have ordered extra...next time. Beef Kabobs ($25/4*) Got this for take-out and it was still good hours later after a reheat. Beef is in small cubes and cooked pretty well done. A bit dry but at least it was flavorful. Definitely taste more Afghan in spicing/marinade, pretty bold with lots of garlic and herbs. De Afghanan out here in the east bay is the gold standard for these types of kabobs and those are cut into bigger chunks and are juicier by a lot. Kabob plates comes with a good amount of seasoned basmati rice, a pita bread, a small green salad and a small scoop of hummus. Even tho $25 seems a bit pricey, there is enough food to justify the price. I was able to make 1.5 meals out of it with a good dinner and a small work lunch. I actually want to try a pizza here and definitely a lamb kabob. I hang out in this downtown area often, so great having another casual option in my back pocket. Yeah Buddy!!
