Had lunch with my daughter here today. She had the beef/lamb gyro and I had the pork belly gyro and we shared an order of Greek Fries.

In the good side, the gyros were tasty. They were very generous in size. The pitas were very fresh and had a lovely texture.

On the less good side, the tzatziki sauce was lacking in that tartness and had very little in the way of recognizable cucumbers, which are a huge part of that sauce. Tomato slices were skimpy as well.

On the very disappointing side.the fries. They're a nice, shoestring style French fry, and flavorful toppings of garlic and feta. But, the fries were quite undercooked. Not at all crispy. And crispy is needed here!

We had Loukoumades for dessert. Those were very nicely done. Nice and warm, crispy and chewy and nicely soaked in honey.

May give them another try and ask for extra crispy fries.maybe try a bowl.

Pleasantly surprised at how good this place was - tasty and the portions were generous. Clean, spacious, well lit and a great staff.

Love everything. Sometime when I need a quick side dish for dinner I pick up rice and add vegetables to it. My family loves it.

I took one single bite and literally called them to tell the cook that he absolutely NAILED it. You’re missing out if you are still sleeping on Nick the Greek - San Leandro. Jesus Christ this food was good.

Third time getting dinner at this branch.
Twice take out and only once dining in. The food and service are solid! Friendly and attentive enough staff and delicious chicken souvlaki, in two occasions the rice was too oily (today seemed better, still oily), and the other two times the garlic sauce was delicious!
The bowl today seemed on the sweeter side, like they changed their yogurt brand.

I love the veggies are always crunchy and fresh!

Two things that could be improved: the restaurant temperature is set to freezing, I had to zip up my jacket while inside, I asked the guy at the register if he could feel how cold it was there and he agreed, go figure.
The second thing is, pretty please, throw a fork in to go bags! This is the second time my order has no napkins or utensils, I think it is customary to throw them in to go orders but it seems they don’t agree.

Food is well priced and I will likely order take out again, however not a place for a date or freezing hang out.

I'm a repeat NTG customer, mostly in San Jose. But after placing a few online pickup orders and a few DoorDash orders, this location is my favorite!

Can't go wrong with the Chicken Gyro bowl, extra side of fries and baklava.

Newly opened, location of this franchise in San Leandro. The place is clean and was newly renovated. It is good to have another cuisine in downtown San Leandro. Food was pretty good, loved the fried with that touch of oregano. I had the beef gyro with the Greek Fries (fries with feta cheese and green onions). Portions are great, I was full and couldn’t finish the fries. The Greek burger and Pork Belly bowl was also very good. Staff was very nice as well.

Decent for a chain Greek restaurant. Staff is friendly and helpful. Whoever is working the grill in the back knows what they are doing and ingredients are fresh. The place has ample seating; 15 tables and about 40 seats.

I found from a good family friend that they is a grand opening of “Nick The Greek” fast food restaurant in downtown San Leandro.
I cordially met the owner of the restaurant on grand opening day since she was onsite to greet and ensuring the waiting customers are welcomed and help with ordering any of the complimentary entrees.
She was very friendly and gave me abit of history about the restaurant.
I ordered the combo bowl beef & lamb …
The food order took under 5 minutes which is super fast.
The bowl was full to the rim and nice food presentation served on a disposable eco friendly biodegradable container.
I like that …
The salad is very fresh not wilted and plentiful.
The slices of beef and lamb was cooked to perfection, very tasty & tender bites.
The saffron rice is cooked nicely and just right, tasty too.
I am looking forward to ordering other food selections.
It’s conveniently located just 10 minutes walk from our small house on Thornton Place.
Thank you and enjoy your meal.
