Greek fast food. The beef and lamb gyro was great, and the fries were pretty good. Fast, too!

The cashier hustles. He never stops! Give this man a raise! 2 Cooks non stop. Cashier dealing with cooks, putting all orders in, getting uber eats out, & filling sauces in plastic containers. So many orders come through constantly for only 1 cashier and 2 cooks. They are good but service would be faster if they had help . The prices are average. Plenty of food took half home. Seems to be a college place to eat and lots of Uber Eats type orders here. Causal place. My food was somewhat cold but good. I ate it and didn't complain because I was hungry and felt bad for how hard the workers were already busy. I had the beef plate with tomatoes and onions, rice , and pitas and taziki sauce and my partner had the gyro . He really enjoyed his food and the temp of food was fine , unlike mine. Many people come in for the soft serve. So it must be good? We had the baclava. Nice size piece of baclava. It was very flaky and syrupy and sweet. Good, but didn't taste like traditional tasting kind. It is ok for this type of establishment. Many supplies boxes out, and on floor and stacked up where you can see it. It looks like they could arrange in a storage room, so it's not so cluttered looking. Or put a wall divider to close off all the untidiness. read more

This is the third location I've tried of this obviously popular Greek fast food chain. The Downtown Berkeley location has been operating for well over two years, but even though I'm in the immediate vicinity a lot, I've never tried it before. I have to admit the more Nick the Greek proliferates, the less I feel motivated to try it. That's because my previous experiences have been more middling than exceptional. What led me here was the convenience afforded me from the GrubHub app. I could pick up my order in less than 15 minutes and be on my bus on time. I ordered the $16.95 Prasini Salad with Chicken Gyro (Photo 7). The salad itself was refreshing enough consisting of romaine, scallions, dill, and crumbled feta with lemon zest dressing. The chicken gyro was unfortunately a bit greasy and overcooked. It didn't really enhance the salad. Instead of going for their signature Avgolemono Soup (which I've enjoyed), I probably made a mistake ordering the $5 Fries which had a similar consistency to the chicken (Photo 5). I'm impressed how Nick continues to pop up almost automatically in places with high foot traffic, but I'm hoping the speed of their growth is not compromising execution of their food. FOOD - 3 stars...the salad was good but the chicken and fries were lacking AMBIANCE - 3 stars...typical Nick decor, barely there for pickup SERVICE - 2.5 stars...transactional, no impression TOTAL - 3 stars...consistently middling RELATED - Exploring Berkeley?

Nick The Greek - Chicken gyro pita - Greek Near Me - Berkeley, California

There's a Nick the Greek opening up in Oakland so I thought I'd try the Berkeley one in anticipation. It was possibly the worst wrap I've ever eaten from anywhere. The chicken was so dry, the wrap desperately needed more sauce, and the fries were so sad and shriveled. read more

Clean location with nice lighting and not too busy. Service was fast and workers were nice. I got a beef gyro pita for $13.78 with tax. Sizeable gyro stuffed with meat, has some vegetables and sauce too. It had good flavor and portions. read more

For a second I was thinking maybe this is better in person but I see the reviews are mixed and in person people are experiencing the same things I did as a delivered order. The loaded fries were super old tasting and very dry and stale and the raw garlic did not taste fresh. The gyro was loaded with onion and the meat was dry and the pita tasted old but I refuse to waste food. I was told it tasted better last time it was ordered by my friend so maybe this was just a bad day where food was sitting for too long but I'm not going to be trying this again. There's a spot on the corner of Hearst and Euclid that is so good and the staff are extremely friendly. I will make the trek and go there. read more

I have ordered my last nick the Greek order! They NEVER give you the extra dressing even if you pay for it. Today I ordered extra dressing for the Greek salad AND put it in the notes to please include the extra dressing and only received this. Even if someone didn't want extra dressing how is this possibly enough dressing????? This has happened 10+ times please get it together on the dressing front, Nick. read more

Nick The Greek - BARELY ANY DRESSING - Greek Near Me - Berkeley, California

This review is based on a pick up order for a catered lunch. We placed an order from Nick the Greek, it included: rice, pita bread, Greek salad, chicken, falafel, tzatziki sauce and Greek salad dressing. We placed an order to feed 18 people and the the servings were hearty. Everyone really enjoyed the food and we would definitely order from them again. For our order with tax and tip it cost $431. read more

Surprisingly slow if you order in person. I was the only person in the shop, ordered a simple falafel pita, and waited 15 minutes while they filled every online order first. Eventually I gave up and left without my food. I miss Oasis!! read more

Friendly staff! My girl got their froyo with baklava and honey and the girl gave her lots of baklava!

Love this spot! The group with chocolate is my absolute favorite dessert. The gyro bowls are tasty and filling as well. read more

Great service, nice rewards, food is good as always. Quiet, peaceful resturant, great for groups and it is affordable.

Good food and service. I always get a plate and there's plenty of meat in it, staff is polite as well

Flavorful and wonderful service. Everything was made fresh. Great lunch spot. Order the steak pita. Tender and flavorful.

My husband was working at a jobsite on Bancroft and would tell me me how good this place is and as a blue collar that says something cause he is meat and potatoes kind of guy This is more my thing so when I had a job walk there I definitely had to try and man was it GOOD! got the gyro bowl and it was so dam tasty! Had the lamb/beef yet it was so light and refreshing with the cucumber, red onion, delicious sauce that truly took my time eating it at my desk when I got back to work. Wish I had this place in Lodi cause I would be there everyday read more

We drove to Berkeley to enjoy yummy Greek food here. I like the gyros bowl with beef and the sour cherry juice drink. My partner appreciated the gyros plate which was beef and lamb. It comes with pita, fries and a salad! I plan to take a Spanakopita to go and have it for breakfast tomorrow. The cashier & server Naveed was very helpful! read more

Great chain, love the Redwood City NTG, but this location is not good. They are very stingy with the meat. Lady is not friendly. Got severe food poisoning. Beware, not a good choice for dinner. read more

The lady at the front is very nice and helpful! However I am just really disappointed that I am spending this much on a gyro for literally 6x fries. At first they forgot the fries on the first order, I went back and when I checked it I saw it, but starting to eat, and there is literally only 6x fries on the whole gyro! I try not to be petty on things like this, but 6x fries on a gyro, for $15 is actually crazy! This is literally my LAST time spending my money there! Please count the fries on the gyro.. literally only 6x! read more

One of the monthly benefits AMEX Platinum card holders receive is a $15 Uber Eats credit. I was scrolling through the deals section in the Uber Eats app and found that Nick The Greek had a BOGO offer on their Gyro Bowl. Two bowls for only a few dollars after the $15 credit is applied is an absolute steal. After I placed my order, I was told my order would take between 30 - 40 minutes to fulfill. However, by the time I arrived at the restaurant 15 minutes later, the food was ready on the counter. The gyro bowl itself is fantastic. The slices of lamb/beef are tender, nicely seasoned, and you receive a very generous portion. I like the option to have the sauces on the side. The yogurt-based white sauce goes well with everything in the bowl, from the fresh lettuce greens to the yellow rice. Make sure you dig deep to the bottom of the bowl to get the rice, otherwise, you might mistaken your order for a salad bowl. Overall, Nick the Greek exceeded my expectations for something available on Uber Eats. Definitely would recommend taking advantage of this deal while its around. read more

Nick The Greek - Gyro Bowl - Greek Near Me - Berkeley, California

Had a salad bowl with grilled veggies and it wasn't as good as I've had at the San Carlos location. The veggies used are bland and unseasoned. Zucchini and large cap mushrooms were all they used. The Zucchini's cut into paper thin slices and there's no flavor. Historically at another location had a lot of different flavor combinations made with a lot of grease like eggplants and zucchini I like this franchise's food in the past but this location isn't the same. read more

First I'd like to start by saying I was genuinely excited to get this food at first. I wanted good mediterranean food, and that's not what I got here. The flavor for everything was really off. Tasted more like a mex-tex seasoning instead. I got their advertised steak bowl, while my friend got a chicken one, and we shared a fries. The portion size for the fries was good, but everything else wasn't. The steak bowl itself had barely any pieces of steak in it, I felt compelled to ask for a refund because it felt borderline offensive. I paid 15+ for a STEAK bowl with only a couple pieces of steak ?? they're already a bar behind even Chipotle on this matter. Truthfully, the only thing my friend and I got close to finishing were the loaded fries, the only semi-close thing to being redeemable. The worker that attended us in front, this slightly older hispanic woman (and I mention this because the cook in the back asked her what's wrong in Spanish, after she looked annoyed over issuing the refund, but I could tell she didn't want to say anything in case I also spoke Spanish). Odd. The ambiance was quiet and semi clean. No customers were in there when we came but a few came after. It was a weird shop. Wouldn't come back here again. A redeeming quality was their spicy sauce and another one they had that I forgot the name of. read more

Is there some sort of rice shortage going on at this location? Last time we ordered there was barely any rice in the bowl so this time we ordered a whole separate side in order to get full and they gave us this sad excuse. The box is about 1/4 full. About 5 bites full for $5. Cant understand the stinginess smh. read more

Came here after class. I ordered the Greek fries and they were honestly lack luster. The fries are cheep quality, and didn't seem to be fresh when I got them. I will say that the service was quick and the staff was nice. The Resturant had ample seating options since it was not busy. I'll have to try something else on the menu next time. read more

Amazing place with great Baklava, the employees are very nice and helpful. The meat and other ingredients taste very fresh as well, overall 10/10 read more

Clean and courteous service, food as good as always. Love the b Mediterranean bowl! So yummy and healthy.

Baklava is great. Prompt service. Good location on university right next to one medical.

I was here for the grand opening back in January (yes I'm late)- and it didn't disappoint. This is a franchise and this location is downtown Berkeley near campus so it's convenient for anyone working/living in the area. Here's the deets: PARKING: Street if you can find it but also close to all sorts of transportation (bus, BART, etc.) FOOD: I ordered the falafel bowl which came with basmati rice, cucumbers, lettuce, onions, tomato and tzatziki. I also ordered the Greek fries which came with garlic. Fries were crispy like I enjoy and nicely seasoned. All the ingredients in the bowl were fresh and tasty. SEATING: There's indoor seating (not a lot) but if you can snag a table- do so. Overall, fresh food and it's tasty. Check it out! read more

I am obsessed with the frozen yogurt here. The food is also yum. Classic fast and fresh

Excellent customer service and great food !! Great location highly recommend !! Food was excellent

Nick the Greek is a solid chain. I really enjoy the gyro meat. The chicken souvlaki is fine, although not my favorite order. I do wish the fries were crispier. The place is somewhat big for a fast casual spot in downtown Berkeley and it's quick. The bowls don't come with pita, FYI! I do appreciate they let you customize the bowls - if you don't want rice, you can sub salad or fries. The produce with the salad wasn't the freshest, but it's winter, I get it... finding ripe tomatoes anywhere can be hard. Overall, a solid spot for somewhat cheapish eats. read more

This is our go to lunch in downtown Berkeley. Reliable and consistent, decently priced food. This time they even offered us a high chair when our baby needed it. read more

Love Nick the Greek and glad it finally opened on campus! Got my go to gyro and fries, staff was really friendly as well. Would definitely come again! read more

Grand Opening on Tuesday, January 23! I love Nick the Greek in Walnut Creek, but now I don't have to go as far to get my fix. They have a bunch of different options depending how hungry you are from gyros and bowls to plates and sides. I ordered their souvlaki plate (skewered pork) over fries with a side salad, pita bread, sauce, and veggies. I love my food seasoned and they definitely do it right. Everything was flavorful and a hearty portion for the price. They have a moderate amount of seating (around 6 tables for 4 and 4 smaller tables for 2) but you'd probably be better off ordering to-go and finding somewhere nearby to eat. They only have one cashier so be patient with them as they figure things out. Staff was super friendly and they even gave out samples of froyo. I will be back :D read more
