Nick The Greek

Dropped in for a lunch before running errands and it's pretty good. The service was friendly and efficient and the location is nice and clean. I ordered the beef/lamb gyro with regular fries and drink combo. The gyro was packed full of gyro meat and pretty filling even before I could get to the fries. The fries are seasoned well (either with oregano or marjoram) and salt, and it's a pretty generous serving. Definitely leaving here full and satisfied with a baggie of leftovers. It's not my #1 pick for Greek/Mediterranean cuisine in the metro but it's a very solid choice and leaps and bounds better than everything else available at Ward Parkway.

The gyros we tried were delicious, we got the lamb/beef one and the pork belly gyro and both were huge and full of meat. I loved how fresh everything tasted, it was a bit pricey coming at $16 per gyro with drink but you could easily make it into 2 meals if you wanted to. Make sure to opt for the feta fries instead of regular because it adds the right amount of zing to the bite. Drink selections were limited but we and I tried their baklava frozen yogurt and oh my it was delicious. It was definitely more yoghurty than full on cream but it was refreshing on a hot day and the baklava with the honey syrup made it very decadent. We did end up spending $50 for 2 people but I was full for the rest of the day cos the portion sizes are huge.

Ever since Pita Blu closed, I've been hurting for a quality plate of Greek food. We stopped by this new spot on a rainy weekend afternoon and decided to try a variety from the menu. The falafel plate had highs and lows. Unfortunately, among the lows were the falafel. Tiny portions that meant they were near burnt on the outside and dry beyond the pale inside. Well seasoned, but rough texture. The supporting elements were great, and did some heavy lifting for the weak falafel. Fresh pita, flavorful veggies, well seasoned tzatziki. This dish has the normal fries. They had a well balanced mix of salt and oregano and were perfectly cooked. The gyro was packed to bursting with quality ingredients. Properly prepared sliced meat, lots of the same fresh veg as the falafel plate. We tried the Greek fries for this order. In my opinion, these are doing too much. In addition to the seasoning on the normal fries they add feta, garlic, and green onion. The onion is especially egregious and ruined the entire side. It's all you can taste. If they held back the garlic and onion, kept the feta, and added some lemon or vinegar they would be excellent. The loukoumades are like those donuts you can find at Chinese buffets. However, they are less falvorful than that. Even with the drizzle of honey and the sprinkle of nuts, they didn't stand out among of the other strongly seasoned food. It is a shame because they are made fresh and looked great. The baklava is some of the best I've ever had. I don't know if they make it in house or ship it in frozen, but whatever they are doing it works. Baklava is near the bottom of my list of preferred desserts at any other place. I'd get it here every time. Richly sweet without letting that sweetness overwhelm the fattiness from the pastry and nuts. Really solid contender in the dessert roster for the area. I look forward to trying items from their menu. They aren't quite at the level Pita Blu hit, but they're the best we have in the area.

food was ok service was ok. when asking about choice person waiting on us, didn't know and didn't ask. hummus was super thick an pastey. salad dressing was soso. dont know how i feel about french fries in my gyro. they were cold an had no seasoning on them. guess its their gimmick. I think fry that are hot an seasoned well with your hummus might be a better gimmick. the lamb gyro meat was good an the pork belly gyro meat was good. For the $ not not impressed. need a small display of they deserts baklava on a menu pic doesn't look appealing.

I am so glad they added this place! The food, service, atmosphere, everything was great! The other restaurants I always had to go to because there were no other options but this one I plan to visit again. There was live music outside as well. Fun vibe. The dessert was amazing.
