Nick The Greek Berkeley

This is new place is absolutely treasure for me! We had a bowl with lamb and beef, fries and a wrap, closely like falafel, but they tasted even better, not quite sure how does it work, but as not familiar with Greek food and 1st time trying, it’s worth my money and time, the fries like In N outs’ with a bit seasoning on it. Highly recommend for a wrap smaller portion and a bowl for full meal, both won’t turn me down.

This place is pretty great. Pretty good price and portions and the food is much better than I expected. Awesome customer service as well. Ordered Mediterranean Bowl with steak souvlaki. Recommended!

We come here monthly for a Greek dinner (take out). It is pretty good Greek food and costs less than the other Mediterranean places (a lot less). If yiu can park, it is certainly worth a visit and a Greek treat.

Amazing food and ambiance! Servers are super nice and helpful! Great place to get a plate or gyro for lunch or for a refuel from studying and working! I appreciate the time

I was here for the grand opening back in January (yes I'm late)- and it didn't disappoint. This is a franchise and this location is downtown Berkeley near campus so it's convenient for anyone working/living in the area. Here's the deets: PARKING: Street if you can find it but also close to all sorts of transportation (bus, BART, etc.) FOOD: I ordered the falafel bowl which came with basmati rice, cucumbers, lettuce, onions, tomato and tzatziki. I also ordered the Greek fries which came with garlic. Fries were crispy like I enjoy and nicely seasoned. All the ingredients in the bowl were fresh and tasty. SEATING: There's indoor seating (not a lot) but if you can snag a table- do so. Overall, fresh food and it's tasty. Check it out!

Decent Greek takeout from a chain. Nothing special at all. The bright florescent lights and constant flow of delivery drivers coming in and out of the restaurant isn't the atmosphere I would look for.

The food is very delicious! The customer service was exceptional! You should come try this food. The portions are very good and the speed of cooking is quick!

Great food amd the people that work there are super nice. I got a gyro bowl and it was delicious. One of the better places for greek food in Berkeley.

The food is good. It's always clean and the staff is very nice and professional. I love coming here for lunch when I work in Berkeley.

Food and service are great! Lots of meat in plate, the gyros were BIG, the rice had a lot of smokiness/flavor!

The food here is so fire. If you're in the mood for Mediterranean this is a spot you should visit. The service is fast and very friendly. The ambiance is very quiet and a good place to take some time for yourself and enjoy your food. Definitely will be coming back!

Clean location with nice lighting and not too busy. Service was fast and workers were nice. I got a beef gyro pita for $13.78 with tax. Sizeable gyro stuffed with meat, has some vegetables and sauce too. It had good flavor and portions.

Had a salad bowl with grilled veggies and it wasn't as good as I've had at the San Carlos location. The veggies used are bland and unseasoned. Zucchini and large cap mushrooms were all they used. The Zucchini's cut into paper thin slices and there's no flavor. Historically at another location had a lot of different flavor combinations made with a lot of grease like eggplants and zucchini I like this franchise's food in the past but this location isn't the same.

For a second I was thinking maybe this is better in person but I see the reviews are mixed and in person people are experiencing the same things I did as a delivered order. The loaded fries were super old tasting and very dry and stale and the raw garlic did not taste fresh. The gyro was loaded with onion and the meat was dry and the pita tasted old but I refuse to waste food. I was told it tasted better last time it was ordered by my friend so maybe this was just a bad day where food was sitting for too long but I'm not going to be trying this again. There's a spot on the corner of Hearst and Euclid that is so good and the staff are extremely friendly. I will make the trek and go there.

This review is based on a pick up order for a catered lunch. We placed an order from Nick the Greek, it included: rice, pita bread, Greek salad, chicken, falafel, tzatziki sauce and Greek salad dressing. We placed an order to feed 18 people and the the servings were hearty. Everyone really enjoyed the food and we would definitely order from them again. For our order with tax and tip it cost $431.

Love Nick the Greek and glad it finally opened on campus! Got my go to gyro and fries, staff was really friendly as well. Would definitely come again!

Is there some sort of rice shortage going on at this location? Last time we ordered there was barely any rice in the bowl so this time we ordered a whole separate side in order to get full and they gave us this sad excuse. The box is about 1/4 full. About 5 bites full for $5. Cant understand the stinginess smh.

Love the souvlaki plates. I am here every week after classes and it's always a great treat to have them! Never once had they made it wrong

Such great service here and this location is super clean and tidy!! The food here is amazing as always, hot and fresh!!

Great chain, love the Redwood City NTG, but this location is not good. They are very stingy with the meat. Lady is not friendly. Got severe food poisoning. Beware, not a good choice for dinner.

My favorite place for quick Greek in Berkeley. The staff here is also really nice. I really like their soup and bowls.

One of the monthly benefits AMEX Platinum card holders receive is a $15 Uber Eats credit. I was scrolling through the deals section in the Uber Eats app and found that Nick The Greek had a BOGO offer on their Gyro Bowl. Two bowls for only a few dollars after the $15 credit is applied is an absolute steal. After I placed my order, I was told my order would take between 30 - 40 minutes to fulfill. However, by the time I arrived at the restaurant 15 minutes later, the food was ready on the counter. The gyro bowl itself is fantastic. The slices of lamb/beef are tender, nicely seasoned, and you receive a very generous portion. I like the option to have the sauces on the side. The yogurt-based white sauce goes well with everything in the bowl, from the fresh lettuce greens to the yellow rice. Make sure you dig deep to the bottom of the bowl to get the rice, otherwise, you might mistaken your order for a salad bowl. Overall, Nick the Greek exceeded my expectations for something available on Uber Eats. Definitely would recommend taking advantage of this deal while its around.

Great food and great service!The falafel bowl was perfectly seasoned and the fries were crispy and delicious. Staff was friendly and efficient, making the experience even better. Definitely a go-to spot for quick, satisfying Greek food. Would absolutely come back!

Came here after class. I ordered the Greek fries and they were honestly lack luster. The fries are cheep quality, and didn't seem to be fresh when I got them. I will say that the service was quick and the staff was nice. The Resturant had ample seating options since it was not busy. I'll have to try something else on the menu next time.

First I'd like to start by saying I was genuinely excited to get this food at first. I wanted good mediterranean food, and that's not what I got here. The flavor for everything was really off. Tasted more like a mex-tex seasoning instead. I got their advertised steak bowl, while my friend got a chicken one, and we shared a fries. The portion size for the fries was good, but everything else wasn't. The steak bowl itself had barely any pieces of steak in it, I felt compelled to ask for a refund because it felt borderline offensive. I paid 15+ for a STEAK bowl with only a couple pieces of steak ?? they're already a bar behind even Chipotle on this matter. Truthfully, the only thing my friend and I got close to finishing were the loaded fries, the only semi-close thing to being redeemable. The worker that attended us in front, this slightly older hispanic woman (and I mention this because the cook in the back asked her what's wrong in Spanish, after she looked annoyed over issuing the refund, but I could tell she didn't want to say anything in case I also spoke Spanish). Odd. The ambiance was quiet and semi clean. No customers were in there when we came but a few came after. It was a weird shop. Wouldn't come back here again. A redeeming quality was their spicy sauce and another one they had that I forgot the name of.

Friendly service, huge portions and very fresh! Always fun to see a new place come in, especially on a block where so many restaurants were torn down.

Nick the Greek is always a solid go to when you want something tasty and easy. The gyros are packed, the fries are always hot, and everything tastes fresh. Service is quick and the staff is super friendly

If you're looking for a solid meal, get the bowl! I love that you get all the classic Greek flavors over a bed of rice/salad. The meat was perfectly grilled and the tzatziki is the best I've had in a long time. 10/10 for quality and speed.

Nice service , friendly , great atmosphere. Liked the pleasant relaxing place. Mediterranean Greek music playing in background. Overall a decent place.

food kind of bland and 80% of the bowl was rice. Kind of expensive for the quality you get.

Such delicious and fresh food. It's my go to spot as a student. They always have buy one get one deals on uber eats so when I need a study break with a friend this is where we go. It's healthy, tastes great and unique compared to other spots nearby.

Nick the Greek is a solid chain. I really enjoy the gyro meat. The chicken souvlaki is fine, although not my favorite order. I do wish the fries were crispier. The place is somewhat big for a fast casual spot in downtown Berkeley and it's quick. The bowls don't come with pita, FYI! I do appreciate they let you customize the bowls - if you don't want rice, you can sub salad or fries. The produce with the salad wasn't the freshest, but it's winter, I get it... finding ripe tomatoes anywhere can be hard. Overall, a solid spot for somewhat cheapish eats.

Stopped in for a bite to eat. Not an impressive place when you walk in- but the food and service were great! Ordered the gyro bowl and hummus with pita. Wow! A lot of food! Hummus was creamy with a little zest. The gyro bowl was huge! Ingredients were very fresh.

So glad there is a Nick the Greek in Berkeley, come here all the time and is exactly what I want every time.

I ordered the Beef/Lamb gyro plate and chocolate filled donuts and it was ready in 2 minutes. Speedy and efficient service!

Food is good and ordering ahead is available. It's a great option ahead of a Greek concert!

There frozen yogurt with baklava is are favorite, plus the steak shawarma rap is amazing

Compared to the other locations in the Penninsula and Walnut Creek, this is the worst Nick the Greek I've been to. The three times I've gone they've screwed up our order, providing us the wrong items, having really soggy stale fries, over saucifying the bowls and giving us salads instead of rice bowls. I do love the concept and we are in desperate need for good Greek food in Berkeley, but I can't go back to this location for at least another 6 months.

Muy buena comida, he probado los gyros, la hamburguesa y las papas fritas. Las papas fritas no tienen nada destacable, pero el resto si es superior. Lo mejor y mas original fue el gyro con pork belly. Tambien se destaca el backlawa, de lo mejor que he comido. El baño está en buenas condiciones.

calm atmosphere with really nice authentic greek food. great if you you need a quick lunch with that authentic greek flavor. The service was great and quick.

Delicious and fresh. Always consistent, which is most important in my book. Also affordable and friendly service

Even though I was hungry looking for a quick bite to eat nearby, I was delighted to find and discover this spot near the UC Berkeley campus. Good ingredients and I highly recommend the greek fries. I got the chicken souvlaki pita bread ($12.50) and added the combo for $4.50 of greek fries (topped with grated cheese, fresh garlic, scallions, dill) and fountain drink. Definitely hit the spot and the pita bread had a nice fluffy bounce and chew to it.

Friendly staff and delicious food! The menu is very extensive and there is something for everyone.

Good food, great service, nice ambiance. I liked Nick the Greek and I would go again soon.

The food here was so disappointing super old, dry, and flavorless. As a middle eastern this literally felt like disrespect to my culture bruh how do you mess up pita bread. $17 for a Mediterranean bowl to have 4 pieces of steak. You could tell the chickpeas were double fired because they were old literally no flavor and cold. The gyro salad just tasted so sad the chicken was dry and chewy all I could taste was the balsamic vinegar. I hate wasting food and will deal with food tasting mid but damn this was bad enough it was more worth it to throw away.

Grand Opening on Tuesday, January 23! I love Nick the Greek in Walnut Creek, but now I don't have to go as far to get my fix. They have a bunch of different options depending how hungry you are from gyros and bowls to plates and sides. I ordered their souvlaki plate (skewered pork) over fries with a side salad, pita bread, sauce, and veggies. I love my food seasoned and they definitely do it right. Everything was flavorful and a hearty portion for the price. They have a moderate amount of seating (around 6 tables for 4 and 4 smaller tables for 2) but you'd probably be better off ordering to-go and finding somewhere nearby to eat. They only have one cashier so be patient with them as they figure things out. Staff was super friendly and they even gave out samples of froyo. I will be back :D

I was skeptical at first because I know this place is a chain, but wow!!! I hope the quality (and quantity) here continues to stay consistent given that they have just opened. I placed an order online. They were running a bit behind and my order wasn't ready, but I didn't mind the wait. (I was entranced with watching them make the froyo w/ baklava...gonna need to get that next time...) I ordered the beef/lamb gyro pita. The meat portion size seemed just alright at first, but there was way more than meets the eye. I ended up barely being able to finish the pita. It was PACKED with meat. In fact, it was probably 90% meat and 10% vegetables, so it got really salty at the end. I think I'll pay extra to add lettuce and cucumber next time. It needs more fresh vegetables to cut the amount of meat. Overall, a great experience! Hope they keep it up. I'll be returning to try the bowls and dessert.

Awesome! The food was amazing and the service was good. Ambiance is chill, pretty clean imo

Experience is based on take out orders exclusively. I've ordered here a couple of times. The service was always quick and friendly. Orders were ready before quoted times. Food was hot and orders were accurate. Food itself was decent quantity for value. Everything was tasty except the tsaziki sauce is a little more sour than I prefer. The location is large but there's not a lot of parking. Very difficult to stop in for pickup. Overall a decent experience and willing to come back

Really yummy gyro! The pita was so soft and fresh. Great atmosphere and fast. We enjoyed it. Would come here again.

Really great! Enjoyed the food, the atmosphere is good, and the food is reasonably priced. There's also a great option where the food comes buy one get one free, which is really awesome. In general, good! Great customer wervice

clean, good food. Service is decently fast as well! Gyro is freshly cooked, and their servings are good.

Quick and tasty Greek food in Berkeley. Great for takeout, some space for sit-down. Restrooms are out past the rear exit

Nick the Greek delivers on what you would expect from this group of Greek Restaurants - good food, tasty salads and fast service! Updated to 5-Stars - quick on the thumbs

Waiting at the front of the line for 30 minutes+ and not a single person comes to take my order. 2 cooks, 1 service member walking around talking to the cooks, and labeling mobile orders. Extremely inefficient. Left without getting anything, along with many others in the store just waiting to order.

Great food and timely service!! Gyros and Mediterranean bowl were delicious! Not the cleanest building but food was yummy
