I’ve been a regular customer at this location for many years but what I discovered in my food last week was a total turn off and unacceptable. A strand of hair in my pita sandwich!

I was totally sickened by it and ended up throwing everything away, including my chicken bowl. The restaurant needs to do better, hygiene wise before I would consider going back again.

I was not satisfied with the service at all. I normally shop here but I went to the toilet first before buying anything and when I left they caused a problem because I used the toilet. I have never encountered anything like this before. I will not order food or eat from Nick the Greek again.

The cashier up front was not welcoming rang up a higher price then had to correct it. Was more keen on packing than attending customer in front. I dont think want to go there anymore need to teach what customer service is

I've only ever ordered from Nick via Door Dash, so I can't testify to the service or the atmosphere. (Though I will say that NEVER has an order been wrong, so I guess that speaks to "Service" for which I will give it 5 stars!)

Anyway, I've tried a couple of things on the menu, but my favorite Greek food (since childhood actually) is the Gyro! And, boy, Nick's makes a great gyro.

I stick to the traditional beef/lamb combo, and it's SO good. I don't know if you like messy sandwiches and hamburgers, but I do. And a gyro is just a Greek sandwich/wrap, so is it any surprise that I like it messy? And Nick's gyro is messy! Yum. And huge. Double yum.

But I confess that I like falafel just as much and have discovered their falafel plate. OMG! This is my winner! I now order this EVERY TIME I order from Nick's.

It is WAY filling, so I wouldn't blame you if you can't finish it. I mean, we are talking about 5-7 falafel, fries, pita triangles, and a salad... accompanied with tsatziki (and my apologies because I KNOW I spelled that wrong!) and hummus.

If you find you can't finish it, no biggie. It makes a wonderful leftover lunch the next day.

I also love the frozen yogurt. Plain, it's a refreshing treat. (And you do get a lot.) But add on the honey and pieces of baklava, and it becomes a decadent dessert. And don't worry. This freezes (with or without the add-ons) so you can enjoy it anytime! Eat a little after dinner, then put the lid back on and pop it in the freezer for later.

A year or so ago, I tried their lemon soup (don't remember the menu name), and it was good. But that was when I was new to Nick's and sampling the menu to find my favorite.

And now that I'm a gyro or falafel girl, I don't even think about ordering anything else.

So try Nick's. I'm sure the restaurant is nice. But even if you have to Dash it, you'll enjoy good food.

About the pictures:
1. Side Greek salad (yummy!)
2. Falafel plate (so, so good!)
3. Frozen yogurt with baklava and honey

Vegetarian options: I'm not a vegetarian, but my absolute favorite is the falafel plate. Trust me. Even as a non-veg, I could LIVE on this plate. It's SO good!

Tasty, fast, easy, moderately priced - it's a pretty good utility chain. I wouldn't recommend for date night.

Came here to grab much for 3! I got a platter w Beef but did not realize they combine the beef and lamb together. Liked the French fries and the salad but the meet was not that good. Others had chicken & Beef bowls with rice which I suspect is a better choice.

Getting to this location is a bit cumbersome since the entrance is cramped w the cars who are lined up to take the Hwy 85 ramp! Also there is not a lot of seating inside this location and the seating area feels a bit camped!

Parking: The place is inside a shopping strip so there is plenty of free parking.

I was refused to use their restroom since I was picking up their client’s order and the restrooms are “for clients only”. Disgusting attitude towards delivery workers.
