Comida mediterránea muy pero muy deliciosa! Nick the owner is really nice. I had a custom plate made for me with grilled chicken, falafel, hummus and veggies. The chicken is perfect. The falafel was the best I've tried in along time. In my opinion it was better than Zankou's falafel. And the hummus was delicious as well. Definitely going to back and recommend if your in the mood for gyros or Mediterranean food. It is one of the few places in the area that serve delicious and healthy food. 10/10!! read more

Truly an underrated, hole-in-the-wall spot! Plenty of parking and seating available. I came for lunch and ordered a Gyro Plate with a potato salad side and Pot Roast on a French roll! The gyro was seasoned to perfection, complemented with a crispy pita bread and freshly diced tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers. The pot roast sandwich was good and marinated well, but I think the star meal was definitely the gyro plate. Wonderful service and I was given extra cookies! I highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

Great hidden gem. My French toast was extra good & crispy. I think they carmelized it...chef's kiss! And my bacon was so crispy, just as I requested. Their breakfast burrito was a hit too. Just come before they leave for martini hour at 3:00. read more

Delicious food, the owner behind the counter was the nicest person and gave me the best cookie while I waited! For the price the quality really can't be beat. I highly recommend.

Nick catered for our wedding and him and his team went above and beyond! Our guests were raving about the food from the tray passed hors d'oeuvres to the steak, shrimp and chicken skewers! His team was extremely professional and a joy to work with. They handled all the cooking, setup, tray passing, buffet and clean up. We can't recommend Nicks Paradise enough! read more

Nicks Paradise Cafe is probably the most amazing place to eat at, this restaurant is a hidden gem! The exterior seemed to be run down but the food they make is absolutely amazing and really worth it. The service and ambiance feels like a mom and pop shop, they treat every customer like it's family. I will defiantly be coming back again! Pros: - Friendly staff - Amazing food - Great prices - Short wait time on food/seating Cons: - n/a I would post pictures of the food I had but it's already devoured by the time I'm writing this. Great place and great people! read more

I've been patronizing Nick's for many, many years as my office is close by. His daily soups are very good, my favorites being the vegetable and clam chowder. Always ask if they have any specials, because those never disappoint. A couple of my faves are the BBQ ribs and the salmon. Prices are reasonable, too. I highly recommend Nick's. read more

This place hits the spot. I get full on one gyro. The fresh diced veggies on top with the sauce they give is so on point. They close early so I order my stuff to go before 3PM. The owners are super cool. Kind folk. read more

This place will probably be the only Greek cafe I'll go to. The vibe was great, food was great and overall a great experience. The egg sandwich sounds typical but it was the best egg sandwich I've ever had. I think I make the best bf sandwiches but they win. The tuna salad had such a fresh taste. Got to talk to nick for a while and he told us about an island he recommended to visit. This was my first time here. It Im sure I'll be back to try other food read more

Had a great gyro plate here! I will drive 20 minutes to get food from Nick's.

Where I get my breakfast everyday. Fresh handmade soups. My favorite is Friday's clam chowder. Thanks Nick!

If you care about your health, DON'T GO here. The cook did not have a face covering and was not wearing gloves. The plastic utensils they give out are unwrapped and sit out in the open to pick up anything. Unmasked patrons inside the restaurant. read more

I would always pass by this place when I was in high school. I always wonder how the food was. I heard from word to mouth that the food was actually really good and that this place is kind of like a hidden gem. My first first visit to nicks consisted of meeting the owner (who is very friendly and helpful). He recommended I tried the lamb gyro plate. The food was very fresh and very tasteful. Pretty reasonable prices as well. Feels nice and cozy. (To me at least).Today, I ordered a breakfast burrito on the phone. On picking up the burrito and paying the nice lady gave me a free chocolate brownie and oh my was it delicious. As I exit the restaurant nick stopped what he was doing to thank me for coming in. Very good hospitality, terrific food. It's nice to have restaurants like this. In a world where everything is fast, this place is a breath of fresh air. A hidden gem in Montebello. read more

Great food (try the French toast) and reasonable prices. The owner Nick was very nice and offered up some cookies his wife had made. Great experience and I'll be going back soon! read more

Delicious food. With amazing service from the owners. They always make us feel right at home whenever we come in. If you're lucky you may even get a free yummy dessert. Highly recommend this hidden gem. But you gotta get here during the week before 3. Unfortunately they do not open on weekends read more

Had to pick up a quick lunch and I've driven pass this place so many times. Well I finally said, let's give it a try! Had the egg salad sandwich on sour dough bread toasted. It was good! Tasted homemade and fresh. Plus they gave a salad of a pasta salad that was also delish! The pasta was mixed with carrots and bell peppers marinated in a simple olive oil/vinegar dressing that was well made! Just wish the portion size a was a bit bigger lol. I had my order to go, but they also have a couple tables and chairs. Don't expect a sit down restaurant tho, it's definitely way more casual. Like a deli that serves up food. Would recommend. read more

I can't really rate this place . I only ordered one thing . I guess it's pretty good . Nick and his staff seem friendly z

I have been to Nick's dozens of times and have tried several items from the menu. I highly recommend this place the food and service is excellent!!! read more

Great food! Small and comfortable place to grab a bite to eat for lunch. Everything on the menu is delicious! They've catered food to many of my parties, always get compliments.

Nicks Paradise Cafe is the best place in montebello! The tuna sandwich is amazing and has the best flavor and is filling and is one of my favorites. The tomato basil and feta cheese sandwich is so flavorful and satisfying. And the desserts are always amazing! The moment you walk in you feel at home. read more

This is a very well hidden gem in East Los Angeles. The food is very good and made fresh in a very visible kitchen that seems to be very clean. Large portions and extremely reasonable prices. Breakfast and lunch is good. read more

I have been going to Nick's since they opened. Their food is always great. I don't think I have ever eaten something that I did not like. Their menu has something for most anyone since they have burgers, sandwiches, salads, soups, chicken and beef entrees, hot dogs, etc. You get the idea. I have to say that their lentil soup is fan-freaking-tastic. And their California Burgers are tasty what with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, bacon and AVOCADO! Mmmmmmmmmmm... Definitely give Nick's a try for breakfast or lunch. It's also reasonably priced. Can't go wrong for great food! read more

I've been going to place for the past 4 years...I've only gone at lunch hour. I'm surprised it doesn't have many reviews. This place is never empty and most of its customers are regulars..you'll always run into a cop or two when visiting Nicks. It's a small place but you'll always find a seat. They have a great selection of food: Sandwiches, Burgers, Salads, soups, Greek food, Breakfast items....etc.. I recommend the tuna sandwich on your choice of bread, I always choose a french roll. I also like their cheese burgers, fries, Greek salad served with pita bread, and their lentil soup which is served on Thursdays. I've never been disappointed when eating at Nicks. read more

More like 4.5, but I'll round up to 5. This place is great for many reasons. My coworker and I are regulars here. We went almost everyday for an entire summer. I've had most of the menu and it's pretty fail safe. There are certain things I like more than others. The sandwiches are great, egg salad is probably my favorite. The dinners are great as well as the soup. I haven't had the breakfast yet so I can't comment on it. The best dishes I've had though were things that Nick was making at the time. It seemed like he was always trying something out or making something special for an event or something and he would ask me if I wanted to try it. One time he made something, I think it was mousakka and Jesus Christ it floored me. If they had that on the menu I'd order it every time. Nick is a really awesome dude and I love this place. I actually feel guilty I haven't been here in so long. Partly because I know Nick will say, where you been? And I don't have a good answer for him. read more

I love coming here for salads which are soooo good! I crave their salads and I'm not big on salads so that's says a lot. The portions are huge. The owner Nick is very friendly and shares awesome stories. They close earlier than 7pm which is a shame because I no longer work nearby and can't make it before closing. This place is a must try. Great food and good prices. read more

I'm mixed about this place. I came in for lunch while waiting for some clothes to be washed. When I came in, I glanced at the menu, then stepped up to order. The man at the counter completely ignored me to continue his conversation with someone sitting across the restaurant. Weird. Finally a woman behind the counter stepped up and took my order, shouting over the man who was still shouting his conversation to the other guy across the restaurant. More weird. The food was quick for the most part. When I got my gyro pita, I was excited because there was SO much food and the veggies were super fresh and delicious, and the gyro meat was perfectly seasoned. But about halfway through eating it, I started tasting nothing but greasiness. Darn. So close to having a really good lunch. I'd go back to try something lighter, maybe a chicken souvlaki or something along those lines. And I'd also hope that I wouldn't have to yell my order across someone's conversation. read more
