Nick the Greek, the fast-growing national chain dedicated to authentic Greek street food, has officially opened its doors in Burbank, California. This opening marks the brand’s 10th location in Los Angeles County, situated conveniently near the Hollywood Burbank Airport to serve both residents and travelers.
Bringing Heritage to Burbank
The new restaurant is led by franchisee Niko Heliotis, who also operates the brand’s Santa Barbara location. As a Greek American, Heliotis expressed personal pride in bringing the flavors of his heritage to the diverse Burbank culinary scene.
“It’s not easy to replicate the experience of enjoying a gyro while walking the streets of Greece, but Nick the Greek’s menu satisfies that craving with its fresh-off-the-spit proteins and made-to-order dishes,” said Heliotis. “I look forward to sharing with the Burbank community: ‘The Best Things in Life are Greek.’”
A Tradition of Quality
Founded in 2014 by three cousins – Big Nick, Little Nick, and Baby Nick Tsigaris – the concept was built on two generations of restaurant expertise. The menu is designed to offer healthy, flavorful, and authentic options in a high-quality fast-casual setting.
Burbank guests can expect a street-food-inspired menu that includes:
-
In-House Gyros: Meats cooked on a traditional vertical rotisserie.
-
Charbroiled Souvlaki: Skewers grilled to order.
-
Fresh Ingredients: Zesty sauces and crisp vegetables.
-
Authentic Treats: Traditional Greek donuts and baklava.
National Growth and Future Outlook
Since 2021, Nick the Greek has nearly doubled its store count and now operates across eight states, including Texas, Nevada, and Tennessee. This rapid growth has put the brand on track to reach 100 restaurants systemwide by mid-2026. By focusing on high-visibility metro areas, the brand has successfully carved out a unique niche in the competitive fast-casual industry.
