Fresh food made to order. The skewer chicken is is delicious. If you love your meat extra seasoned this is not the place for you as it is super healthy and the flavor is MEAT! Friendly staff and the servers are always friendly. I love their froyo with and without the honey. The chocolate sauce/she'll ia good also but I prefer that sweet amd tangy taste of my Greek yogurt. My go to when Im in no mood to cook but want something healthy, light amd fillk filing. Guilt Guilt free food. read more

We finally came in to check this place out. I was worried that because it is a chain maybe it would not be good but I was wrong, at least for now and at this location. Solid 4 for the food, 5 for service and decor. Very clean and spacious. We ordered the Gyro bowl with chicken and falafel and a combination (beef & chicken) Souvlaki plate which are basically skewers with rice and a salad. I also ordered a side of fries. Loved the rice and the fries can't wait to come back to get "nicks fries". Fries are fresh not frozen and perfectly cooked kind of a Mediterranean spiced in n out fries vibe. Wife enjoyed her bowl very much and also looking forward to our next meal here. This shopping center is very busy so parking can be challenging but worth it. read more

I was very excited that they offer Haloumi gyro. The cheese had a firm and light crunchy texture. I dipped it in the Toum sauce and it was heavenly. The food deliveries are also consistent and items are never missing like some other restaurants. My husband had the falafel bowl. The falafels were crunchy and slightly dry inside if you didn't dip it in sauce. This restaurant is one of our go to places for delicious Greek food. read more

It's a chain but a really good one. One of the best meals you can get in Riverbank. My go to order is the Mediterranean bowl with beef and lamb which I upgraded to a combo. The falafel is really good too with the spicy yogurt. The staff is always very nice and hard working, making sure that the restaurant is clean and the condiments are well stocked. The food is always fresh. read more

So, I found this place on Yelp and began viewing the pics and reviews. The food looked so good that my wife and I had to try it. This location is in Riverbank, CA, about 10 minutes Northeast of Modesto. Upon the writing of this review, this establishment had opened its doors only a short 80 days ago. Upon entry, you could see right off the bat that everything was well lit, clean, and inviting. We were greeted by the young lady pictured in this review. I explained it was our first time. She began to explain the menu and answered all of our questions. She was very helpful. My wife ordered the Jerry Rice bowl with a side of pita bread and hummus. I ordered the Porkbelly Gyro with double meat and a side of Greek fries. The gentleman in the blue shirt pictured in this review brought our food to our table, and MAN did it look delicious! As for the portions...the portions were huge! Especially when you compare them to other restaurants in this category. I call them "Quick-straunts." Where you pop in for a quick meal and go. Definitely a step or two above a fast food joint, but not a full service dinner restaurant either. This place came about and has nicely filled a niche focused on popular Greek Street Food... and I think they nailed it. The freshness and quality of the food really speak for itself. The Pita Bread is amazing. My Gyro was the BOMB! There is so much flavor going on, but I probably should not have ordered it with extra meat because I barely touched my Greek fries. I did, however, eat some of them, and I would definitely order them again over just plain fries. My wife said she thoroughly enjoyed her Jerry Rice Bowl, and when I asked her if she could eat it every day, she smiled and said, "Yes, but the next time she orders it she will omit the mustard sauce." She was extremely satisfied with her meal. As was I. All in all, there are so many choices on the menu options (which I have included in pics) that you can tailor your order to just how you like it. I didn't go into too much detail on what was in our order because I would be here all night, but you can check the menu pics I have included for the deets! I am glad we gave this place a try. We will be back to try more menu items. read more

There was so much food, all the way from the salad up until the side of lamb/beef. It honestly could have been enough food for 2-3 people. The salad: Great flavor, LARGE portion for a SIDE!! Fresh veggies is major! The additional side of Lamb/beef gyro: HUGE portion for like $5! One of the best flavored lamb/beef gyro's I've had, as well! Not dry like others and is a flavor-bomb! The chicken plate: FLAVOR! The rice was well cooked - nearly perfection. Moist, balanced flavor. The chicken? Amazing. Super flavorful, black pepper forward (which I love), but doesn't over-do it! The veggies? Again- it's fresh! And the pita? Buttery goodness (if there's no butter involved, it's still buttery somehow!) This might be a new go-to spot for me to get my protein, carbs, and veggies in one go! Or at least ad it to my rotation! - not to mention, service was great and food was ready quick!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Nick the Greek, a fast casual Greek restaurant, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. We ordered some kebabs and a gyro bowl, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The kebabs were perfectly grilled, with tender and juicy meat that was full of flavor. The seasoning was spot on, and the accompanying vegetables were fresh and crisp. The gyro bowl was equally impressive, with a generous portion of savory gyro meat, fresh vegetables, and a creamy tzatziki sauce that tied everything together beautifully. The service was quick and friendly, making the overall experience very enjoyable. If you're looking for a place to enjoy some high-quality Greek food in a casual setting, I highly recommend Nick the Greek. It's a great spot for a tasty and satisfying meal. read more

We always get this place delivered because they are very attentive and delivery is fast. If you are looking for true Greek food, I recommend Nick The Greek. I have never been disappointed with their service and food. I have also tried their dine-in and take-out service and it was all good. Employees were very mindful of their jobs and always made sure to properly assist customers in their peak time. 100% recommend!! read more

Nick the Greek in Riverbank, California, is a fantastic spot for quick and tasty Greek street food! My order came out super fast, and everything was fresh and delicious. The fries were perfectly crispy and flavorful--one of the highlights--and the mango juice was incredibly refreshing and spot-on. Great service and authentic vibes make it a must-visit. Highly recommend! read more

They were incredibly gracious, welcoming, and organized, which immediately set the tone for what turned out to be a fantastic experience. The food was phenomenal--perfectly cooked kabobs that were flavorful, tender, and clearly made with care. Every dish we tried was fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. It was the kind of meal where everyone at the table was talking about how good their plate was, which says a lot when you're serving a group that size. The service was just as impressive as the food. The staff was attentive, friendly, and efficient, making sure everyone was taken care of without ever feeling rushed. Hosting 30 people is no small task, but they handled it seamlessly and with genuine warmth. Amazing food, amazing service, and exceptional hospitality. If you're looking for a place that delivers incredible kabobs and truly knows how to take care of their guests--whether it's a small meal or a large gathering--this spot deserves your highest recommendation. We'll absolutely be back.

From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine hospitality. The food was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The portions were incredibly generous; we couldn't even finish our meals and ended up taking more than half of the food home. What impressed us just as much as the food was the outstanding service. Our host checked on us several times throughout our meal to make sure everything was perfect, and toward the end of our visit, the restaurant manager personally stopped by to ask how we were doing. That level of care and attention made us feel truly valued as guests. If you're in Turlock and looking for great food, generous portions, and exceptional customer service, I highly recommend Nami-No. We will definitely be back the next time we're in town!

You can tell it's a family-run restaurant, which gives it a welcoming feel. The restaurant itself is small, and the food did take a while, but it was worth the wait.

The prices are slightly high considering the ambience, but overall, the food and service made it a good experience.
