    Outside wall mural
    Marjorie C.

    Order ahead if you're in a rush - food is made fresh to order so takes about 10min Parking is on the side street but I haven't had any issues with it so far Service was fast and friendly; they had my to go order ready by the time I got there I ordered the shawarma and it was so flavorful and filling - was definitely a nice treat for lunch Establishment is clean but there's no seating to eat there so it's more of a grab and go kind of place Love the wall art / mural on the building Would definitely come back to try their plates

    I'm rating for what this is--a take-out food stand, not a sit-down Mediterranean restaurant. And on that basis, it's great! Prices are extremely reasonable, and portions are very generous. They have shawarma and even lamb chops, unlike most quick-serve Mediterranean places that focus more on gyro. We visit the area often and no doubt will go here again.

    Super fries

    Wow! My husband and I just tried this place and we got shawarma and fries, falafel and a super fries. It was delicious! The meat was well seasoned and tender. Fries were well seasoned and crispy to go with meal. We live 5 minutes away and always said we would try and I'm glad we did! Thank you for the flavorful meal! We are going to go to sleep satisfied! Service was good as well! We will be back soon !

    Greek Fries

    This was my first time here. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Plate and Greek Fries. The food was good. The chicken was tender. The fries were cooked perfectly. The portions are huge. It's enough for two people or save half for the next day. The Shawarma plate came with rice, pita bread, grilled tomato and pepper and a small salad. The fries had a lot of stuff on it and beef. I asked them what was in it, but it was a lot of ingredients for me to remember. This place is located on the corner of the intersection. It has a small parking lot, but plenty of street parking. This place is more for to go orders. There's no place to sit or dine. When you order they give you the little buzzer thing. It took about 15 minutes to get my food. The cashier was friendly and answered my questions about the food. If you're in the area and are looking for some good shawarma, this is the place to go.

    Feta fries .. they could have put more feta or something . Very little toppings.

    This type of fast food Mediterranean restaurant is by far one of my favorites . I have tried just about all in my area and Nike shawarma is a great contender for #1 in this area ! Their chicken shawarma wraps are very delicious and they don't hold back on the meat portions . I will say while their fries are good , their feta fries were not impressive at all especially for the price . That would be their only room for improvement is their flavored fries

    Salad

    Wow this place was amazing!!! I loved how the chicken shawarma plate came with a small salad on the side it was a nice fresh touch to my meal! :) The chicken was cooked well and the hummus was super good. I didn't order extra hummus but I recommend doing so if you love hummus with each bite of your meal. Definitely a hole in the wall. It's located on a fairly busy corner by the freeway. The food was a 10/10. This is more of a pick up and go type of place since there is no seating. They're really efficient as they use the beeper devices to notify you when your pick up order is ready. Pictures of parking are here! Getting into the parking lot was a little tricky but don't let that discourage you from trying this amazing spot !!!! I'm so happy I found this spot.

    I came here today to try the lamb plate and let me tell you it was great! I got the lamb with basmati rice, salad and pita bread. Also came with a nice tomato and peppers. Portions were good and lots of favor. It's hard to find good rice and this place does it right. The girl who took my order was very nice and explained the menu! I got all the sauces to try which were tasty. The hummus and tzatziki were my favorites of the bunch. I will be back to try the gyro wraps and other items. This is a little gem off the 91 fwy/clark exit. If you're close by and like good persian/mediterranean food this is the place! Go see them for a great meal! Food rating: Lamb chop plate 8.7/10

    This location has been several other restaurants in the past and I really hope this location lasts. Grabbed the mixed schwarma and a gyro and I have to say, both were delicious. The plate was pleasing to the eyes and tasty as well. Enjoyed the fact the veggies were super fresh! Lots of vibrant colors and crunch. Loved it. Construction is hurting this business in the short term but if you are in the mood for some good Greek salads or food, please come give this local spot a try. You will be pleasantly surprised.

    Chicken Shawarma Wrap
    Ana H.

    10/10 would recommend this spot to anyone! Ordered the lentil soup, shawarma combo plate, gyros wrap, chicken shawarma wrap and they were all so tasty The worker at the front is lovely and helpful, the food doesn't take long to come out at all. Chicken is a hit or miss for me at restaurants but I love their chicken shawarma! It's not dry and the sauce they drizzle on top pairs nicely with it. The portions are generous and the side salads are also good. I've gone around 2-3 pm when it's not usually busy- the parking lot is under construction but there is street parking available as well.

    Menu
    Eddie G.

    Overall this place is a solid 8.5/10 not a big menu which is great. When the menu is overloaded I usually don't know what to order. The chicken had very good taste and the garlic sauce on top was very sweet. My only gripe was that you get such a small amount of hummus. The cooked tomato was exceptionally good. There was no wait and it took about 15 min to get my order. Definitely call ahead and place an order since parking is very limited and there is no where to seat if you are waiting. Overall I will be back to try the rest of the items on the menu and I'll update my review accordingly.

    Delicious shawarma and Falafe , reasonable prices. Fast service and amazing flavor and the size of the sandwiches are pretty big.

    First time trying this spot. Awesome service very clean and organized but most importantly the food is delicious. Come down and try it out you won't be disappointed! I ordered the gyro wrap combo.

    Filled to the brim with food lol

    I went to Niks shawarma for my birthday because I wanted something low-key and local, and it was such a great choice. It's a cute little spot (pick-up only) with a nice mural on the side that gives it character. As a Mediterranean food connoisseur, I can honestly say the food was excellent. I ordered the chicken/ beef shawarma dinner with a side of grape leaves, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly done. The portions were massive I was eating leftovers for the next three days! The customer service was just as great as the food. I wish I could remember the young lady's name, but she did a fantastic job and made the experience even better. If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean food with huge portions and friendly service, NIK shawarma is a must-try.

    Today i got a greek salad with no olives. It was very good.  recommend so far everything ive tried.

The soltani kabob was to die for; the flavors in the beef barg and koobideh were so rich and cooked to perfection. The mastery of these dishes was absolutely on display. The mast moosir was a great creamy and savory side dish to complement the entrees. I HAD to get the tahdig (crispy rice) too! I also had a bit of the lamb shank which was really flavorful, tender, and paired perfectly with the baghali polo. The yogurt soda was a bit of an acquired taste for me, but I'm happy to have tried it for the full experience. We finished off our delicious meal with a floral and sweet Persian ice cream wafer sandwich. The portions were enormous, so we left feeling full with leftovers to look forward to! We came on a lively weekday evening. They don't do reservations, but we were warmly greeted and quickly seated with lavash and butter on our table immediately. The restaurant has a beautiful and romantic atmosphere, with hybrid indoor/outdoor courtyard dining. Our waiter was attentive and made us feel very welcomed. I'd give this restaurant more than 5 stars if I could!

The plate comes with three filet mignon skewers, each incredibly juicy, buttery, and tender--clearly cooked with care and quality ingredients.

The combo also includes pita and two sides; I chose the hummus and yogurt cucumber, which added a nice balance of richness and freshness to the meal. Be prepared for a bit of a wait, as the food does take some time, but it's evident everything is made fresh and to order--well worth the patience.

We've been here a good five times and I'm finally writing a review--better late than never. Parking is easy and there's a decent amount of seating both inside and outside. Ambience-wise, it's your typical fast-casual, in-and-out vibe. Nothing fancy and not super pretty inside, but don't let that fool you. Once the food hits your tongue, it's game over. Hubby and I are creatures of habit and always order our usual plates. He gets the beef and lamb kebabs, and honestly the portion sizes are so generous that our plates are interchangeable every single visit. A must-have side is their Mediterranean salad--get the large so you can save some for leftovers the next day. For my plate, I always order the red cabbage, hummus, sumac onions, and of course the Mediterranean salad, and it is always absolutely delicious. For the entrée, I go with the chicken and beef shawarma. The meat is perfectly shredded and pairs so well with their fluffy rice, plus the generous amount of garlic and tahini sauce. The only downside I would say is the pita bread. I personally don't care for how dry it can be, but to be fair, the best pita bread I've ever had was in Athens, Greece, so it's very hard to compare when most pita breads here are premade. Service is always fast and on point. This place is an absolute must-try if you're craving Mediterranean food. Happy eats!
