It was absolutely spectacular. It came with Pita's fresh salad and oh my God it was so good. I ordered a bunch of things to go to take home with me because I live a far distance from this place. I found it on Apple Maps but why I was driving asking for the closest Greek place and wow am I glad Apple Maps brought me here. I will definitely be back. And what's really amazing is I just found out I lost a friend and I was sitting at the table a little teary-eyed and a lovely server brought over some tea for me while I was waiting for to go order. And guess what they were open July 4. The food is absolutely spectacular. I'm looking at all the plates of meats and everything smell so fresh I wanna order the french fries just cause they look so delicious but I'm full. I couldn't even eat my whole plate cause I was full. And even tasted gr8 the next day

We also got to try baklava and their hot tea which was a perfect combo :) We will definitely recommend this place and come back again!

Food: Really good & filling…read more I had the LAMB & BEEF GYROS plate without rice and more salad. It was a substantial plate with lots of meat & salad - well worth the cost. After this I had the rice pudding (with pistachio on top...the server asked if I wanted cinnamon or pistachio) and Turkish coffee (it was good but no cardamom which was a bummer). The pudding was also substantial in size easily accommodating 2 people or 1 person with a raging sweet tooth (me). Service: great! The server came by right when I was finished with the meal and asked if I was ready for the dessert & coffee. Also, I wasn't hurried out of the place after finishing my meal & dessert (when I was writing this very review). Ambiance: spacious There is significant indoor seating & some outdoor. Good spacing among the tables. Sound level is ok. You can hear yourself think and the other person talk unlike some other nearby restaurants.

Just to prove my point, I want to add two photos of the Dubai Chocolate Froyo.

Anyways. This is the best Nick the Greek!

However, tonight's food was unfortunately not how it normally is. The pita was dry and difficult to tear apart, the meat was dark and crusty, and I received about half the amount I normally do. The fries were also unseasoned, rough, and tasted as though they had been sitting out for a while. All the food was cold. I placed a pickup order, which is normally always fast and easy. Even though I arrived early and ate the food right away, it tasted almost as if it had been sitting out for at least an hour beforehand. I'm beyond disappointed because Nick's is one of my favorites, and I've always had great experiences in the past. I really hope this was just an off night and I see improvement in the future.

We ordered the saghanaki ($18), greek salad ($16), salmon ($34), and gnocchi ($28). The server was kind enough to split the salad and plate it for 2 as he saw we were sharing. The saghanaki is always a hit - flaming cheese and oil? UGH. It's like an elevated grilled cheese once you pair it with the complimentary pita bread. The gnocchi was good and the salmon was cooked well. We were the only ones in the restaurant for a while, and staff checked on us frequently.

I came in expecting a Middle Eastern feast and left wondering if my stomach had declared…read moreindependence. The menu offers chicken and steak shawarma, falafel, hummus, garlic sauce, and all the usual suspects. Unfortunately, my meal tasted like several ingredients had met for the first time and immediately regretted it. The complimentary lentil soup was probably the highlight, which says something. A few hours later, the real "shawarma experience" began with my digestive system moving at considerably higher speed than the restaurant's kitchen. The atmosphere didn't exactly improve the experience. The environment felt dirty and unkempt, which is particularly unfortunate when you're eating food that already has you questioning your life choices. Instead of feeling like a welcoming Middle Eastern restaurant, it felt more like I had wandered into a cafeteria where cleanliness was an optional add-on. I kept looking around thinking, "Surely this is part of the ambiance." It wasn't. Customer service completed the trifecta. The staff came across as rude, dismissive, and remarkably pompous as though asking for decent food and basic courtesy was an unreasonable request. Overall, this was one of those meals where the best part is when it's over. If you're looking for flavorful food, a clean atmosphere, and friendly service, I'd recommend taking your appetite and possibly your digestive system somewhere else. These reviews need to have 1/4 stars so I can go lower than 1 star, but it is what it is.
