Reviews for Nick The Greek in Newport Beach, CA
Super disappointingly-prepared food and will not order from here again. Simple classics were completely butchered in their... flavors and textures. I had the beef/lamb gyro plate with an add-on of chicken souvlaki skewer. I preemptively orderedadditional sides of Tzatziki and Spicy Tzatziki? thinking it?s hard to mess those up. Let?s start with the chicken. I?ve neverhad a chicken souvlaki skewer that used dark meat/thigh meat, rather than the even texture of breast meat. This skewer was alldark meat, rubbery, intermixed with mostly cartilage, and flavorless. Zero seasoning or marinade of any kind. The lamb/beefgyro?. GAH!! So salty!!! And dry!! My apologies for the grotesque imagery? but the texture and shaved appearance of the meatwere reminiscent of the excess skin that gets shaven off one?s heel during a pedicure. Neither are appetizing in theslightest. The sauces? oh man. There is something fundamentally wrong with the yogurt base they use. Instead of a nice classic,fresh, yogurt taste, this one wasn?t just tart- it had a weird musty/dirty laundry scent about it that made it impossible toeat. There were zero refreshing qualities like dill, cucumber, etc, that would typically balance out any weird yogurtcharacteristics. The ?spicy? tzatziki is a joke? it?s the normal tzatziki with a slight speckle of paprika or some other redspice on top of the dollop in the sauce container. The only redeeming quality in this whole meal was the freshness of thesalad. Great cucumbers and onions/lettuce. Read more
I was in this restaurant 10/29/22 around 7:30pm. Ordered 3 kinds of dishes, one of them was not fit for consumption, it was... pork gyro. The fact is that the meat that was in the gyro was completely dried up, as if it were jerks. There were also largechunks of fat. Usually this meat is cut a very long time ago and has lain down for several hours. and also the onion was cutso large that only the taste of onion was in the mouth. It was impossible to eat this sandwich. Spoiled dish. They pouredinto it what needed to be thrown out. If the owner of the restaurant wants to contact me, I can send him a photo with proof.Other 2 dishes was okay probably because there was different kind of meat. Read more
I?m Vegetarian and surprised to see that there are several alternatives than Falafel. The quality of their veggies is nice and... tastes amazing especially with Tzatziki sauce. Read more
Amazing veggie wrap and the salad and the desert. Wrap was flavorful. Good to give a try.
