    Service: fast Food: Friend zucchini: 3/5 this was very flavorful Cajun chicken sandwich: 2/5 I would want to try to get something else again next time I'm here Gyro platter: 4.5/5 this was good and very large Oreo shake: very thick and good amount of sweetness

    Gyro sandwich with fries.
    Susie K.

    Fast service and fast food with my favorite food stand ambience. Nicky's has been a staple for anyone who wants a great gyro and fries. I crave their gyro with extra tzatziki and lots of onion and tomatoes. Patty Melts are oniony cheesy goodness. Great Chicago style Polish sausage sandwich. Greek potatoes are a hidden gem! I recommend for on the go meal. sure to please!

    Pork Souvlaki Sandwich was hot, seasoned perfectly, and delicious!
    Sam O.

    Fantastic little place! We were visiting the area and looking for something to eat, so after quickly reading some reviews we decided to drop in here. So glad we did! It was busy but things moved quickly. Our counter attendant was patient, friendly, and helpful as it was our first time. DH ordered the beef sandwich combo, I opted for the pork souvlaki combo since none of the Greek joints where we live serve souvlaki, which is a favorite of mine. I overheard several people placing orders for a wild rice soup. We didn't order one but it seemed popular! Our order was called pretty quickly. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. We even took a chicken souvlaki to-go for a family member. The dining area was clean and comfortable. We people watched while waiting for our order, and everyone seemed to be enjoying their meals. Someone was digging into a whole roasted chicken with great enthusiasm. That looked really good! A lot of people were eating soup- not sure if they have more than one kind or if it was the wild rice we overheard, but a lot of people were enjoying it on that chilly and damp day. Prices were very reasonable, too. I could have happily eaten here every day during our visit, and it's definitely on our list for next time!

    Pepper and egg sandwich with French fries

    Pepper n egg dipped with hot giardiniera. Fries well done. Good, not great. Would expect a bigger sandwich at that price, but eggs are pricey at the moment.

    Mediterranean Bowl & Italian Sausage Sandwich with mozzarella & marinara sauce
    Kiara A.

    Absolutely delicious. This was our first time eating here & for a fast food place, it was very satisfying. The young lady at the register was super patient, kind & helpful. She helped my husband and I with both of our orders bc we came in super indecisive. Our plates didn't take long to be made, everything was fresh & hot when it got to our table. This first impression was everything, i very rarely put 5 stars for a fast food place but I can't wait to go back.

    I've been coming to Nicky's for years and have always enjoyed their food. However, they committed the unforgivable act of charging a hidden10% surcharge. This is deceptive, and there is no sign stating that they charge a surcharge. This might even be illegal. Just raise the menu prices! Everyone understands that labor and food costs have gone up.

We had to get up and ask for check and then get up and remind her and then get up with our credit card to hand to her But the food was phenomenal. The chicken with feta was so incredibly tender and delicious. The mousaka was pretty good too. But I'd def get the chicken next time Their dessert menu had no prices next to it which we didn't like. We ordered something that had whip cream on top with shredded baklava tasting dry noodle thing. We didn't like the texture of the dried noodle thing after it's been in your mouth but the beginning bites are full of flavor. Def wouldnt get that dessert again tho But 5 stars for the chicken and 4 for the mousaka

Reservation were made, so we were seated immediately upon arrival. The hostess, who I believe is also the owner, kindly asked if we preferred a high-top table, and we happily agreed. Our server was warm and attentive, taking our drink orders right away. We started with the calamari to share, and it was absolutely perfect. One of my pet peeves is when restaurants pad appetizer plates with salad to justify entrée-level prices--but not here. This dish was all calamari, beautifully cooked and generously portioned. For my entrée, I ordered the Baked Greek Chicken with potatoes, while my friends chose the Pastichio and Moussaka. The food was excellent--flavorful and satisfying--but it's worth noting that Molos offers a modern twist rather than strictly traditional Greek fare. Service throughout the evening was top-notch. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, and the ambiance was calming with a touch of Mykonos charm in the decor. I'm already planning a return visit--there are several dishes on the menu I'm eager to try. Opa!

    Greetings! Just a…read morefollow up review, more like a super check-in... Background: It was our son's birthday, MOST of the time, birthday dinners are home-cooked family affairs...his choice this year: Apolis run! We live forty minutes away, and it's worth the ride every time. Our party of seven lined up, placed our orders, and the kitchen got to work. Entrees and sides prepared perfectly, right down to sauce on the side for the seventh entree. It was a pleasure to meet the owner, Mike G. I had the opportunity to thank him for years of great eating. Furthermore, I noticed the sign of a great leader: When it got busy, he jumped in and helped his amazing staff. He leads by example, and it shows. We all had various forms of rice bowls and pitas. Of special note this visit: The sides! The pork and chicken souvlaki are simply divine. The oven roasted Greek potatoes seems like they're right out of your favorite rah-ra's oven. Full of flavor, and mind-blowing. The rice pudding and baklava, as my SIL said, ..."took a 98 point visit and made it a 100 point visit...". My thanks to Mike G. and the amazing staff for a wonderful meal. It was greater than great, and for a family birthday meal, I wouldn't want anything less. Until next time...tk

A few "highlights" of our visit: Dishonesty: A server lied and said there was no kids' menu (which is clearly listed on their website) just to avoid a meal substitution. When I asked about ordering chicken tenders, the server told me they didn't have a kid's menu and were only making an "exception" for my daughter. I later found the full kids menu on their website. Instead of simply explaining an age policy, he chose to be dishonest and was visibly annoyed that I even asked. Being Ignored: It took 20 minutes and multiple people flagging down a server just to get one bottle of Coke. I asked the female waitress 3 times for the Coke and she repeatedly looked at me and ignored me. It took 20 minutes and 3 family members calling out to the server to get her attention. Disrespect: The hostess literally put her hand in my face when I politely asked for a to-go bag. I politely asked the hostess for a to-go bag, she actually put her hand in my face and told me to "hold on." When she finally returned, she mean mugs me and handed me the bag without a word even after I gave her an underserved thank you. If this were my party, I'd be demanding a refund. This place makes other local diners look like five-star establishments. Unbelievable and completely disappointing. Will never be returning.

He suggested we take a seat at a table and he would take our order when ready. He was very kind and polite! We ordered the chicken gyros on a plate which was absolutely delicious. Menu states that it's hand carved which I'm not sure if that means it's still spit roasted or not but it was different than the typical chicken gyros I've had at other places. This looked and tasted like actual chicken rather than pressed meat so as a health conscious person, I loved this! The chicken was tender & juicy. It came with Greek potatoes and rice that had a delicious (lemony) gravy on top along with a soft, warm pita. The 2nd meal we ordered was the pastichio dinner. I've never had pastichio before so I wasn't sure what to expect. It's basically baked pasta (like a ziti noodle), ground meat & cheese casserole topped with bechamel sauce. Like the chicken gyros, it came with the same potatoes and rice but this dinner also came with soup or salad. I chose the avgolemono soup because it's my favorite. It's basically a creamy rice, egg & chicken soup with lemon! I'm a bit picky when it comes to the temperature of soup as I believe it should be hot. It wasn't scorching hot but it was definitely the right temperature of hot. I have nothing negative to say about our experience tonight. The service was outstanding. The food was delicious. Portions and prices were just right. Actually, with the cost increase of dining out these days, Ambrosia is very reasonable. The decor gave you the feeling of fun & casual dining in a Greek atmosphere. The restaurant was very clean, including the bathrooms! My only regret is not having been there sooner. I've lived in the next town over for over 2 decades and never knew Ambrosia was there. It doesn't help that there isn't a big sign displaying all the businesses in that strip mall either. I actually stumbled upon the place on Yelp when I did a search for Greek cuisine. Most of the local "Mediterranean" restaurants and chains will carry some Greek items but not like Ambrosia. When I actually see lamb on a menu, I know it's authentic Greek cuisine. Speaking of lamb, I want to try their of leg of lamb dinner! There are so many more things I'd like to try. I can't wait to go back!
