Great food and taste. Don't forget to ask for the tzatziki sauce if you're picking up because they don't include it otherwise.

Chicken was very undercooked, no seasoning. Food was dry especially the fries (couldn’t eat ten without a sip of water). Really nothing special.

I loved the food at their Novato location so decided to visit a location closer to home. Got almost the same items: chicken souvlaki bowl and kids plates. I was not as impressed as the last time. Rice was definitely cooked in a flavorful broth but was clumped and dry. The bottom burnt and caked up layer of rice was served as well. The chicken was unevenly cooked. Overall still pretty decent for a fast food chain.

Fresh good , lovely soft and fresh pita bread. The chicken souvlaki is so flavorful and tender Don't forget the Greek fries !

Consistent like other Nick the Greek's. This is modern day Greek food express. It is simple to order and easy to eat. Simple menu items and it is always a hit. You serious cannot go wrong on any given day or time you go! Get some extra mustard sauce while you're at it, or some tzatziki if you're a tzatitki person.

This is our go to when we want to grab an authentic delicious gyro bite! We love love Nick the Greeks wraps. I have tried both the chicken wraps and they are both delicious. We usually get some extra sauce to go with this.. spicy one as well as the regular white sauce. Their service is quick. We usually get our order ready within 10-15 mins and have always done pick ups from here.The ambience is simple, people usually come in and order and take away a lot. There is minimal seating options.Overall the food is good. I have recommended this place multiple times to my friends and we all love it and always happy to come backVegetarian options: limited veg options

If I could give a Zero I would. I have attempted to order multiple times and my orders get lost or given to other people. I realize my name is common however I called and highly suggest having an order ticket with last names as well considering this is the 3rd time I've ordered and my order was given to someone else. My order was to be ready in 17 to 20 minutes however, even after an hour of not receiving my food, they refuse to even make my meal stating "2 men already picked it up so you can complain to DoorDash." When I asked to speak to a manager, the young lady stated they didn't have one on site. In asking when they do she said "I don't know." Poor management if you ask me. If you're ordering, I would ONLY recommend ordering IN PERSON.

Uniqueness: Nothing more special than any other Nick the Greeks in the Bay Area but if you're interested in some Greek Bowls, Nick the Greek has them here. Wait Time: [x][x][x][x][ ] Food Quality: [x][x][x][x][x] Service: [x][x][x][x][x] Setting: [x][x][x][x][x] Cost: [x][x][x][ ][ ] Recommendation? Start with a classic plate with beef/lamb gyro or a gyro wrap of the same. If you're into fries, then definitely get the Greek Fries which is almost a meal in itself! Been to Nick the Greek a few times that were sometimes hit or miss, but recently I have to say the food was actually really good this time! Service is always nice here and welcoming, and the food is a bit pricey for fast food but for Greek food in general, I believe Nick the Greek is slightly cheaper than other Greek spots out here. Food quantity is large and definitely filling, beef/lamb gyro for our gyro plate + gyro wrap was fresh and delicious. The gyro wrap wasn't soggy when I ordered this as takeout and this is a big plus as the last time I had a gyro wrap, it was pretty soggy. For the plate, they even put the salad on the side to avoid it causing your dish to be soggy so that was also another plus. Love the Greek Fries with their feta cheese, onions, and choice of meat on top, on top of perfect fries. For a quick, reasonable stop for some Greek food, I have to say you can't go wrong with Nick the Greek so definitely do stop by for some great Greek food here when you can.

We have been coming to this location for years. There were up and downs for quality of the food. But today is the day we decided to write about it.- Rice is too mushy and big balls of something of an old taste- Chicken supposed to be shredded but it was bunch of big hunk of meat mixed up with some dried up chicken (really, it was not only dry but it made crunchy sound like potato chips!)- Not sure why they couldn't properly put the skewers inside of the box....Two young guys who work at the cash register in evening shift, usually ignorant. One time, the guy was "working" on his phone on "social media". We stood in front of the cash register for a while. I cleared my throat, letting him know that he had customers, he looked at us and continued with his phone adventure. Waiting there for extra 40 seconds seems to be too much since he already noticed us.I would like my employees to wipe tables, restock the straws, check the soda machine and check the bathroom cleanliness when there is aslow time.

My son has been enjoying the food there for some time until last week. His Wednesday's order of beef and lamb combo gave him horrible food poisoning. He is a young and healthy teenager, but seeing him so sick was very upsetting. I can't image what it would be like for someone less healthy. Nonetheless, it will take several more days for him to get back to normal. Obviously, he won't be back.

Good enough food.Advice: stop putting French fries in the gyros :) .Also, your menu is complex.The meat and pita is greatFalafel balls are good.Adding Dolmas would be a good idea :)

Food was great and service was quick for "faster food". I dined in and I thought I'd have to wait, but the people at the counter said they'd bring it to me. Very kind and courteous. I enjoy establishments like this.
