“ My husband loves Greek food! So we went to try Nick the Greek the week it opened. I was disappointed at the lack of steak options. So I tried the chicken kebabs. I also got to the Greek salad, which was delicious! The only suggestion I would have is add more steak options. ”
“ Oswaldo welcomed me to my first and very enjoyable Nick The Greek experience. Im quite picky about my Greek food and this was satisfying as I'm getting over a chest cold, not feeling so great. The Avgolemona Soup was the perfect sustenance to give my body, it was soul warming. I also treated myself to baklava which they make a delicious version of this sweet dessert. PS Oswaldo was genuinely interested in my feedback after my mini meal. He is a valuable person for the front of house and going to go far. His kindness was just what I needed. Thank you ”
“ I wasn't surprised the food would be up to par; downtown Phoenix in the middle of everything, you SHOULD be someone special! It wasn't heavily salted down, which we appreciated the most. We arrived 20 minutes before closing and the staff treated us without the rolling of eyes, a big plus. The Greek Fries and Falafel/Beef/Lamb Pitas were outstanding. ”
“ Nick the Greek on Washington St has many classics. I enjoyed getting good Greek food in a timely manner. I love the variety of the menu. You can get a classic gyro with different meat options or veggie, salads, and bowls. Also dessert options too. I really enjoyed the gyro bowl. It was seasoned well. All of the flavors went together. It was a great option to take to go. The service was ok. I got food to go twice. The staff was not very helpful or the friendliest. But the food they made me each time was excellent! The restaurant has plenty of seating. It has many tables when you walk in. And another room to the left with additional seating. ”
“ Nick's was a nice spot in downtown Phoenix that had a traditional menu and extremely reasonable prices for the city. The decor was modern and it was nice and cool inside. We had chicken gyros and they were both very good. The fries in particular were tasty and not too greasy. They have a nice selection of drinks and indoor seating and this is a huge plus to escape the heat. The flavor of the food was good and the service was quick. I had never realized there was a Greek option downtown by the stadiums and convention center, and would definitely stop by again in the future to try some other options. ”
“ The name of this place reminds me of the character Nick from the movie Bachelor Party, but the food here bears no resemblance. I was staying at a hotel close-by and this was a quick, convenient lunch option. The lady who took my order was helpful and patient while I decided what I wanted. I was a bit hungry so she thought the platter was the better option. She also didn't make fun of me when I pronounced it Gyro and she said Gyro. The Gyro (or Gyro) platter was pretty big. There was a lot of meat which had some crispy edges and was delicious. There was plenty of rice (I chose that over fries). The lettuce, tomatoes and red onions were all fresh and delicious too. The small salad even had 2 Greek olives. It could have come with more Tzatziki, but they always could use more so I ordered an extra one. It think it was only 0.50 too which is a plus. I should have asked for extra olives too, but didn't know they had any! It was a lot of food and I didn't finish it all, even though I was super hungry when I got there. Soda pop refills were free which was good on a hot afternoon (108 or so). I'd go here again if I wanted a gyro, but there are a lot of other choices around too. ”
“ Great spot in Downtown Phoenix. Came in for a quick dinner and was pleasantly surprised how amazing the Beef/ Lamb Pita was... The service was fantastic, friendly, and made my order to perfection. Definitely look forward to coming back again. ”
“ I've been here about ten times now. First 6-7 times I had the gyro and loved it. You can read my prior reviews to see how that evolved. Anyways I just had a chicken souvlaki plate and it was amazing! A perfect lunch imo. Healthy and yummy. Came with a small Greek salad, rice, and two kabobs of grilled chicken with a delicious mustard marinade. Some ripe tomatoes and red onions too. A little mini feast and a perfectly balanced lunch. Also came with plenty of grilled pita triangles and a tangy yogurt dip. This is how I love to eat. It isn't "health food". It is delicious and has some carbs (rice and pita) and some fat but it it is very well balanced with grilled chicken, salad, and veggies. For $12 you can't really beat it downtown. Restaurant is always spotless. Service is always top notch. The one time I did have a small issue the owner took it extremely seriously. I highly recommend this place. It's in city scape. For some reason people don't eat outside enough but the weather is great and they just redid the area outside. It's a great place for lunch with good energy and plenty of people watching. ”
“ What a fantastic place I stumbled upon while walking around downtown Phoenix the other day. I walked inside and it was clean and organized looking so I decided to try it. The gentleman taking my order was very polite and helpful. And the good.... Oh my goodness! It was a full bowl of flavor and tastebud explosions! It had rice, meat, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, sauces and it was amazing!! This place is definitely on my go back to list next time I'm down there!! Thanks for the great food!! ”
“ Pretty good option if you're in the area! We were downtown for a sporting event and wanted to grab some food beforehand; in searching Yelp, I found Nick the Greek. We had gone late afternoon, so it wasn't busy at all. Orders can be placed at the counter & they bring your food out to you. I ordered the Chicken Gyro pita with Greek fries, my husband got the Pork Belly pita, my mom got the falafel bowl, and we ordered the kid's plate with chicken gyro (came with fries & pita) for my son. I really liked the chicken, it was very flavorful and the pita had a good amount of toppings. I didn't realize the pita had fries inside; would probably order without them next time if I'm getting the side of fries. But I'd definitely skip the "Greek" fries option. They were just topped with feta & green onions. My husband and my mom liked their food. I think the meat options were better, as we've had fluffier tasty falafel at other places. The falafel here was thicker, more dense. I liked how the bowl was put together though, so would get that next time .. or Nick's fries, which had similar toppings as the bowl but with fries. Overall, wouldn't drive out of my way to eat here. However, if you're heading to downtown Phoenix and are wanting Mediterranean food, this would be a good option. ”
