Nick The Greek - San Diego

I had an excellent dining experience at this restaurant. I just discovered it, and I believe it has recently opened. The interior is clean, and you order at the counter. They also have outdoor seating available. I tried the lamb gyro and the falafel bowl, and both were outstanding. The fries were delightful too. They offer beer on tap and the service was fantastic. I will definitely return; it was a bit on the pricier side at $35 for two people, but well worth it.

I like their Greek food a lot. I had a Gyro plate for togo. It was tasty and a lot of portion. I highly recommend the plates.

The staff here are incredibly friendly, and the food is tasty. I ordered the gyro bowl, and the rice had a delightful lemon flavor that complemented the vegetables and meat perfectly. However, I found the spicy yogurt sauce to be lacking in heat—I could barely taste any spiciness at all. The tzatziki was good, but I felt the bowl could have used a bit of chili or garlic sauce to balance out the richness of the other ingredients. Overall, a pleasant dining experience!

The newest Nick the Greek location is situated on J Street, conveniently within walking distance from the Park Blvd Trolley Stop, the Public Library, and Petco Park. This place truly checks all the boxes for a fantastic experience! The service was efficient, and the staff were friendly, all within a clean and cozy indoor space that also features an outdoor patio. My lamb gyros was delicious! Plus, the takeout packaging was excellent. I’ll definitely be returning and bringing friends with me!

Having eaten at Greek restaurants before, I can?t compare it to the authenticity. It?s just not the same. But the best example I can give you is that this is Greek version of Chipotle, with a bit pricier menu. Look, you can?t compare Chipotle to authentic Mexican food, but it is good for what it is. Nick the Greek offers big portions, tasty food and a very clean and neatly organized establishment. Their service is good and there is a nice seating area outside as well.Pictured is a falafel bowl and Nick?s fries with lamb gyro.
