Nick The Greek

Ordered Gyro salad, I chose the beef & lamb Gyro for my salad. I was expecting a Greek salad but only got some semi warm Gyro meat on top of just spinach leaves. The gyro meat tested ok but the overall taste was bland.

Another horrible restaurant in San Carlos - the meat is overcooked and rubbery, fries soggy and tasteless, and they try to fill with lettuce and dressing. There used to be a good Greek-like (Mediterranean) restaurant on Laurel (Santorini) - it was excellent - no comparison whatsoever to this inedible stuff. San Carlos eateries have really gone downhill.

I really like the chicken gyros from Nick the greek. Ordered one today, eagerly awaiting for the order confirmation. It never came. I decided to go anyway and found the food a little cold. But that's ok. I was hungry and munched down greedily. Then, on the 5/6th bite, I felt something hard in my mouth. I contemplated swallowing it, thinking it was chicken bone. A couple of tongue feels later, i realized it was much larger. I spat it out. It was a screw. Called the restaurant. Daniel-- probably the attending supervisor there -- assured me there was no intent to contaminate the food. I sent him the pics. I asked him to investigate, which he did. At first he said he could not find the source of the screw. But I asked him to trace any machine that could have been in contact or close proximity to the food, be it vent hoods or other machinery. He finally found it. A chicken cutter was missing a screw. Daniel claimed it's not the first time he's encountered this problem. I told him to avoid this in the future he shoudl contact the supplier and notify corporate. It's a safety near miss. Hope Nick the greek and its employees do the right thing.

Have ordered take out from here with my in laws and they've messed up the order twice (once the delivery, not totally their fault) and forgot the sauce for two items last time. Also my brother in law had to pick up another item that was not delivered for another previous order. Luckily I got a promo item with this order. Not impressed.
