    Great spot for fast, flavorful Greek street food right in downtown Mountain View! The portions are generous, the gyros and Mediterranean bowls are tasty and fresh, and the staff are friendly and efficient. I especially loved the lamb gyro and falafel wrap.

    Nick the Greek had a BOGO deal on Uber Eats, so I ordered two falafel wraps with hummus, and my friend got two Mediterranean bowls with chicken from the Castro location for pick-up. While in the store, we decided to split the Dubai Chocolate froyo. Falafel wrap (4.5/5): I enjoyed this! The falafel was flavorful and not dry at all. Pretty big portion size. The hummus was a great add-on - wish this didn't cost extra. The Mediterranean bowl was huge! My friend enjoyed hers and gave it a 5/5. Dubai Chocolate froyo (3/5): This looked great but taste wise, it was just ok. The chocolate and pistachio cream were tasty but the yogurt was a bit sour, like the yogurt used in parfait. Thought it would have tasted better if it was sweetened yogurt or ice cream instead. Little pricey (~$10) so wouldn't get again Overall, although I wasn't a fan of the Dubai Chocolate froyo, I would come back to Nick the Greek for the wraps/bowls. The entrees had good value, especially with the Uber Eats deal.

    This experience was absolutely amazing from the start to the end! May was super patient with the group I went in with and she gave her recommendations and helped out a friend that was extremely indecisive! The taste of the food was amazing and the pricing is great. I would highly recommend coming into this location since Maggie gave out outstanding service to the entire group. Even the cooks in the back were extremely friendly one of them came out after providing somebody their food and offered to take our baskets on his way back to the kitchen! Unfortunately, I didn't catch his name, but they all expressed extreme gratitude for us coming in!

    Beef/lamb gyro minus tzatziki

    I'm a fan of Nick the Greek, and this was my first time at the MV location. Free street parking was not a problem on a Sunday evening (though there's also a parking lot down the block on West Dana Street). An inviting atmosphere inside and outside of the restaurant, some live music on Castro Street, decorative lighting, steady flow of people, but not too crowded. Efficient service at the counter. Got the beef/lamb gyro without tzatziki, and it was perfect. Warm grilled pita stuffed with yummy ingredients, wrapped nicely for takeout so that the toppings don't fall out while eating it. Everything was fresh and flavorful, I savored every last bite. Just what I needed after a long run. Nick the Greek has proven once again to be reliable in their product.

    2/21/25 Nick the Greek 298 Castro St Mountain View, CA 94041 I went there for a late lunch on a Friday at 2:30 pm. I ordered a Beef/Lamb Gyro from the menu board at the order counter and paid cash. I gave my name and my gyro was brought to my table shortly. The interior is a clean bench and table setup with contemporary diner furniture. There is a large city free parking structure behind the restaurant. My gyro was hefty with the meat slices, french fries, tomato, red onion and tzatziki sauce wrapped with a soft and thick pita. The meat slices and fries were very noticeably salty although the overall flavor was good. I thought it was a good value but it was way too salty for me so no repeat.

    Can we say OPA!! Start kicking up your feet and dancing to some Greek music. Seriously, we have been waiting for this Greek fast food venue now for well over 3 years or more in Mountain View and whew finally!! WE went there the other night and it was great. I would say the one in San Carlos and Mountain View, the peninsula stores are one of my favorites!! If you are looking for some good, wholesome Greek flavors, giving you the taste of Greece, then you need to just get on over to downtown Mountain View on Castro Street. Amongst my favorites are the salads and the plates that will include salad and fries and some pita. As they say in Greece" Efcharistó kai éla xaná

    A great addition to DTMV, Nick the Greek has my favorite beef/lamb gyro. The meats are extra juicy, veggies are fresh and crisp, and everything combined is so flavorful and glorious. Not to mention, the value can't be beat. I come here at least once a month. The service is friendly and efficient. The food comes out quickly and they bring it out to your table if you're eating for-here. Ambiance is pretty clean, spacious, and family-friendly. There's ample seating for small-medium parties.

    So excited for Nick the Greek to come to Mountain View! They're in a soft opening period now, open from 11 am - 7 pm until the grand opening on January 14th. The food is great already, consistent with their other locations, and service was exceptionally friendly and helpful! Indoor seating looks a little limited, and some of the tables are wobbly, maybe due to the flooring situation in the older building they renovated. Hopefully they can work that out soon! I got the pork souvlaki plate and it was awesome, and I love that it comes with a side salad and pitas. I did feel like the fries that also come with it were a little soggy / greasy: probably only once cooked (like In-n-out, if you know). They were still hot and fresh and well salted, but they could be better. They also have a selection of bottled greek soft drinks which were good too.

    Lamb gyro
    Edith R.

    We ordered two lamb Gyros from the uber eats app, but one get one free!! We love that this location has partnered up with a delivery service. The food was delicious and hefty. It's a chill location to visit.Service wise they tend to be quick and friendly.

    Lamb gyro bowl

    I usually DoorDash my lamb gyro bowl from this Nick the Greek location and it's always consistently good- which is why I was so surprised and disappointed with my most recent order. This time, something was definitely off. I'm not sure if there was a new chef or if I just had bad luck and ended up with the last of the lamb meat, but the quality was nothing like what I've come to expect. Instead of the usual thin, well-sliced pieces of lamb, I received several large, chunky, and uneven cuts--some so big they weren't even bite-sized. A few looked like scraps or leftovers just tossed into the bowl, and overall it looked pretty unappetizing. Since I had it delivered, I didn't have the option to return or exchange it. I ended up eating around the meat because it was just too tough and awkwardly cut to enjoy. To be clear, I've never had this issue with any Nick the Greek before, and I still really like this location. I'm hoping this was just a one-time fluke. But if it happens again, I may have to reconsider ordering from this location in the future.

Loved the two pieces of potato wedges that were cooked to perfection too!

We all shared a couple of appetizers: Saganaki, Barbayani Thalasa Tiganites, Octopodi, Horiatiki Salad and Greek Fries. Drinks ordered were a mocktail and Bee's Knee. For dessert, we got the Lemoni Crème Brûlée. Everything was delicious, but the Lemoni Crème Brûlée, OMG!!! The best! It was tangy and sweet, the perfect combo. We each had a lemon half...if only these yellow lemons were the size of a grapefruit! Ahahaha. I was trying to savor every last bit of the filling. Plus, the plating looked superb. Parking is street parking, so it can get hectic. There are also parking lots in the surrounding areas. I did see a 3% living wage surcharge added to the bill. Don't know if this disclaimer was noted on the menu or anywhere else. Didn't look for it, didn't see it. I am just stating for those that want to know ahead of time. Enjoyable night, I would come back here again.

The owners are from Greece and promise to bring the most authentic and delicious Greek food in a casual and family-friendly environment. The Good: * Parking lot * Fast-casual order at the counter and they bring the food out to you, which is my favorite for lunchtime. * Friendly service * Bottled Beer and fermented grapes * Reasonable pricing * Moussaka was spot-on and delicious. For the uninitiated, it's basically a Greek lasagna, but instead of noodles they use delicious baked eggplant and a rich béchamel sauce to cover them and ground beef. It's my favorite Greek dish, and theirs is one of the best. * Chicken skewer was still moist despite being white meat. The Meh: * Horataki Salads are delicious, albeit maybe a touch too oily. Maybe try asking for SoS (Sauce on Side) if your stomach gets a little upset by too much oil. The Ugly: * Some of the seating in here needs replacing; I sat on one of their benches and I swear I got violated by a spring. 0_o Conclusion: Delicious Greek food for a fair price. Highly recommended. **They also own the similarly named restaurant in South SJ and Souvlaki's in Willow Glen.

It was delivered to me quickly and you can see the steam coming off of the gyro meat. My salad was huge. I didn't care for the lemon dressing so I asked the young man at the front counter if I could try the red wine vinaigrette. He was really nice about it and gave me the other dressing to try. The red wine vinaigrette dressing was perfect with the salad and gyro meat. The salad was loaded with cucumbers, tomatoes, garbanzo beans, feta, pickled onions, Kalamata olives and garbanzo beans. It was so good and the gyro meat was hot and savory. It all worked so well together. The ice machine was not working so I had to have my soda without ice. At least the soda was cold. I could only eat half of my salad and got some takeout containers for the leftovers. Overall, I think you get your money's worth with the amount of food you get here. I will definitely come back again.
