    Really like this place. I'd like to say it's pricey for lunch, but you definitely get what you pay for. Big portions and good food. The staff is super friendly, the restaurant is clean and the food is good. They also have a s nice shaded patio for those that lime the outside.

    Dropped by for a quick dinner. The staff recommended gyro with pita bread combo so that’s what I ordered. Meat was well seasoned. Pita was warm and freshly made. The white sauce matches perfectly with the gyro. The salad was good, too. Place is not the most well maintained place, but it’s clean. Parking is limited. Very fast service.

    Wonderful gyro meals for great prices. Will definitely be back! I got a gyro combo with salad, my husband got a gyro with cheese fries. The fries were sooo good. Everything was great, and great portions, not salty at all. You walk in and order, self serve drinks, then pick a spot to sit, it feels like you just sat down and they bring the food out to you. Will definitely be back to try other things.

    Very fresh and delicious, nice staff as well. Spacious out door seating. The fries were crispy on the outside, the chicken was marinated in herbs and grilled, pita was soft and the rice was so tasty I could of just ate the rice and been happy, but im glad I got the whole combo with a fresh greek salad. It was alot of food too, at least for me

    This place is our go-to spot. The vegetables for the gyros and salads are always very fresh and the meats really good, never too greasy. The person working the cash register is always very nice and welcoming. They're doing renovations currently so the soda machine is not available, but they have canned drinks and you get a refill. We sat outside last night and the patio is very quaint. The prices are a little on the high side compared to other gyro spots but they are listed per combo and the location is in a part of Phoenix where rent prices are insane now. I have to reiterate how fresh all their ingredients are each time we go here.

    Highly recommend the gyros, salad, and spanakopita. Best Greek food in Phoenix. Good portions and great flavor.

    Short version: it was all right, but nothing to write home about. There is plenty of parking, the patio view was not all that spectacular, but it was clean and the food came out warm. Have no pressing desire to return for a second visit though. Longer version: Stopped in for an early Saturday dinner a couple weeks ago. They were working on their beverage service station so instead of self-serve we were given cans. Not a big deal, except they were barely cold and when I asked for ice they didn't even have that. Disappointing. The food was at least warm, if not hot. The gal behind the counter was cheerful. I ordered one of the pitas and was upset to see the huge chunks of onions and peppers in it. The only good thing about the chunks was that they were big enough I was able to pick them all of out my pita. Had I known they were part of the wrap I would have ordered something else or asked them to leave them out. I cannot remember seeing them on the menu, so it could be entirely my fault. Regardless, I have eaten at other Greek places and enjoyed their atmosphere and food so much more that I do not see a return visit to Nino's in our future.

    I hate how close to my home this place is because I cant stay away from the deliciousness!! Nino’s is the best Greek food I’ve had in the valley and Im so happy a friend recommended this place to me as everything is always fresh, meat is seasoned just right, juicy and yummy!! Really good french fries yum! The staff is absolutely amazing as they answer all of my dumb questions and help me pronounce menu Items (I still cant say “Souvlaki”correctly but its definitely my favorite😝!) The atmosphere is quaint yet vibrant and the restaurant itself gives the feel of being near a pier on the East Coast or something cute like that! There’s something here for everyone but beware, between the friendly staff, great atmosphere, and incredible food you might become addict! 😂 Love you Nino’s team and see you when I need my next “fix”!!

    Amazing Greek food. I loved getting the platter because it’s super filling and I always have a ton of leftovers. The baklava and sides are great as well! It’s simple counter service with small tables inside but the staff are super nice. The patio is nice on days with good weather & they have misters!

    Delicious gyros! We enjoyed the gyro combo with the seasoned fries. The meat had great flavor and the pita was soft and held all the yummy goodness! Large portions! Definitely give this place a try!

  • 5/5 brandon c. 6 months ago on Google
    I've tried a lot of Greek type restaurants in the Phx area and this one is the best IMO. Their meats are seasoned well, their pita bread is delicious, and their portions are large. I only get this when I'm at work, I wish it was closer to my home. Also, the staff has always been friendly and nice. Highly recommended if you're craving Greek.

    Great food and great service, staff is very friendly and always going the extra mile to make sure the customer is happy.

    I don't give out 5 stars too often. This establishment deserves it. Had a delicious sandwich and lamb skewer platter with all the fixings. Service was great (lady at counter actually smiled and greeted us warmly). Atmosphere was simple but clean. Will keep in mind next time in Phoenix.

    This is a go to spot as I get tired of regular fast food.. The staff is always friendly. Great fresh food. You can tell they appreciate making good food. Inside is a little tight at lunch, but should utilize outside a little more with tables.

  • 5/5 Rebecca 1 year ago on Google
    We both ordered Gyro combos , one with fries one with Greek salad. Both side were great. ( big salad. ) Combos are servered with choice of fries or salad and a soda for about $14. Worth every penny. The girl that took our order was so friendly and helpful, sorry I didn't get your name. So everyone needs to check out Ninos Greek Cafe if Gyros are your thing ! You won't be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Mother D. 1 year ago on Google
    All the food here is excellent! I would go every day if I could. The gyro platter was my favorite. The falafel's were also very good. Baklava was yummy.

  • 3/5 Steven G. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a nice space. Indoor/outdoor seating. Our service was friendly and our food was flavorful and hot. Prices were a tad high from what I was expecting, but in general in line considering the economy. No fountain drinks. They have Coke products in 12oz cans. I shared a gyro platter with a friend and were both satisfied...but I know I'll be hungry again soon. But that's just me.

    I have never been treated so rudely and so poorly by a business. I organize a monthly luncheon for my work, usuallyabout 15 to 30 people. Sometimes we try new local restaurants to order from and they are normally very happy to receive our business and treat us very well. Because we haven't ordered through Nino's before, I called the month before and asked if they could accommodate our order. They asked me to call a day in advance and said it would be no problem. So, I sent out a link to my coworkers to Nino's online menu, they sent me their orders and paid me in advance based on the online pricing. I called today, the day before our lunch, to put in the order. The girl taking the order tells me their prices have increased. For example, a platter which was formerly $12.99 is now $16.99! Quite a large price increase, which means people haven't contributed enough. I told her I would have to call back. I spoke with some of my coworkers who all said they should honor their online pricing. I called back and asked for a manager. I was given the same girl who I spoke with in the beginning who is not a manager according to the person I talked to. I told her the situation and pointed out that it would be good customer service to honor their online prices as this is what they've put out to the public. She said she can't because the new pricing is in the computer. I told her that she could still give a discount on the order to help make up the difference. She told me she won't do that. I asked why no one told me about the price difference when I called a month ago. At first she said she spoke with me and she would have told me about it. I told her that she didn't tell me otherwise I would have asked for the new pricing so I wouldn't end up in a situation like this. Then she told me that the prices only changed 3 days ago so she couldn't have told me about the price increase a month ago. Clearly she's lying and can't get her story straight. Anyway she told me it doesn't matter because she won't discount it or honor the old prices which are still online. Wow. Truly a business who doesn't care about or values their customers. Also it says a lot about their integrity. Well, I let everyone here know that lunch was canceled and let them know how rudely I was treated. I'm just glad we didn't give them any money. Horrible.

    My favorite. My family has been going here for years since we live nearby. Would recommend the Gyro salad. Prices have gone up in the past few years, so just be aware. Expect to spend about $14-17 per person. Would also not recommend going there within the last hour of closing, since last time I did that they gave us a pretty much all meat gyro with like a singular strip of lettuce and not much other toppings and only one tzatziki sauce even though we ordered two gyros. So would recommend going here for lunch or dinner, just not too late.

  • 5/5 Devon A. 1 year ago on Google
    This is, hands down, an all time favorite. The food is delicious!!! The staff is friendly. It is a busy little spot. Parking is terrible depending on when you go. I don't think of that as a detraction; it means it's popular. They have been sprucing the place up recently, still needs some work, but that's not why I go there. Honestly, it is a must if you like Greek food at all.
