Nick the Greek is a restaurant situated in the downtown area of Santa Cruz. The atmosphere is lively and has a young vibe, with plenty of seating options, including spacious indoor areas that create a great vibe. The food is a highlight, offering a variety of choices such as veggie bowls, gyros, kids' plates, and desserts like baklava. Their falafel wrap is especially popular—hot and crunchy falafel paired with cool tzaziki sauce and fresh, thick pita. Pita bread and fries are often praised, especially when crispy, though some dishes could benefit from slight tweaks to seasoning and composition. The staff is friendly and helpful, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. Open late, Nick the Greek is a good choice for a casual meal in Santa Cruz, with options including chicken, lamb, and vegetarian dishes. Recent reviews highlight consistently good food, quick service, and a nice atmosphere, making it a favorite spot for many visitors. The gyro beef lamb bowl remains a popular choice, and desserts like honey and baklava are highly recommended, especially if eaten immediately.
