Nelly’s Taste of Greece

Great food and service, visit today for the first time, will return, all the food was fresh and plenty for my wife and I

Worth the wait, every time. I wish I could give them 10 stars. We always get the same thing: a traditional gyro, a chicken gyro, and a gyro pizza and its consistently delicious.

Best Greek food I ever had. Nelly and Michael take great care in using only the best quality. We are from Arizona and happened to be in the neighborhood. What a find! Great food and great prices. We will definitely go back if we are in Cape Coral again. Highly recommend.

Located on NW Nicholas Parkway. Nelly’s Taste of Greece is on the far end of a strip mall across the road from the shopping plaza featuring Michaels, Dress Barn and Kohls off Pine Island Road. This venue is set up like a fast food place rather than a café/​diner. You order and pick up at the counter and bus your table when you leave.
The dining area is very nice. Everything has a new and fresh look. There is a monitor on one wall featuring Greece. The staff here are warm and friendly. We were greeted right away when we entered and thanked for our visit as we left.
Beverages are served per individual unit from bottles or cans. They have water, soda, Honest brand teas and a selection of beer and wine. My husband had a soda ($ 1.30) and I had unsweet tea ($ 2.45). We both ordered traditional gyros ($ 6.95). Nelly’s does have an alternate sauce option. You can order Zesty (feta cheese base, roasted red bell peppers and dash of cayenne pepper) instead of the traditional Tzatziki (yogurt, cucumber, dill and garlic).
Some thoughts on the food:
Everything was fresh and had a nice taste.
The gyros were very light on onion. There was some but very little.
I prefer more garlic in tzatziki. I could taste it but it was very mild compared to the dill which was featured much more in the sauce.
The price is in line with other places but it’s noteworthy to mention that the gyros come without any sides. Also, if you like more than one beverage with your meal, you’ll end up paying more here.
Final Assessment: the food was A-​ok, earning Nelly’s Taste of Greece 3 stars.

This place has awesome gyro meat and taiko sauce to die for. Visiting, I would def come back on my next visit

This is a great place! Food and service is amazing at a great price! The tzatziki sauce is the best I have ever had! Great place to stop for a quick healthy lunch! I strongly recommend!

Best Greek in the area. I’ve eaten Greek everywhere and this may be the best Greek anywhere. Hummus is delicious! Tzatziki sauce is the best I’ve ever had. Nicest husband and wife own Nelly’s and cook and serve all the food. Patronize places like this as often as you can so Cape Coral doesn’t become over run with chains.

Very clean. All ingredients in the Greek salad were very fresh. My husband had the gyro and enjoyed it.

Omg… I need 10 stars for Nelly’s. My husband and I went there for lunch today. We both had gyro pitas and then split a piece of spinich pie. Thats usually how I can tell if Greek food is good or not, the spinich pie. This was amazing. Fresh and wonderful. Then our gyro pitas came. Awesome is an under statement.
We loved it so much I wanted to go back tonight and eat there for dinner. Super clean. A small little place that we just kind of fell upon and so glad we did. I can’t wait to go back.

We’ve eaten here a lot. Their traditional gyro and their chicken pita are excellent. We also love the olive spread with pita appetizer but half the time we come here, they’re out of it.

Great — everything! The gyro sandwich and Greek salad are our go-​to s. Better than almost any other place in U.S. We’ll be back whenever we’re in town.

Nice clean place, great hummus plater, gyro was wonderful. Best tzatzki sauce around cape, fort Myers area. Will be back.

This place is way over priced for what you get. The food is gross looking. They pull meat out of a warmer that looks like road kill. My husband was the only one eating here because I was grossed out. For 1 person to eat was $ 19.00! This place has lost its mind. We will not be returning.

I love this place. And you know you’re in for a good food every time. The portions are good. And the staff is nice.

CAPE CORAL, FLORIDA
Just dropped in to grab a bite at Nelly’s as I had a taste for some Gyros.
Found Nelly’s on Unilocal and decided to give it a try.
I must say, I am from Chicago where we are spoiled with many fine Greek restaurants with great Greek food. Nelly’s Gyros were ok, but not great.
The meat was somewhat dry. It was absent that little bit of juice that is found in Gyros in Chicago. That said, the Gyros was tasty and if I can’t find something better in the Fort Myers area, I will be back the next time I feel like eating some Gyros.
Nelly’s is not a big restaurant and there were not many customers there during my visit. Maybe that is why there was only ONE spit of Gyros. For that reason the wait time for my Gyros plate was several minutes. Sorry, but I’m spoiled. In Chicago, even the fast food Gyros joints have several spits going simultaneously resulting in quicker service. Nelly’s is located in a little mall with free parking available right in front.

We love this place and always find the food fresh and tasty. Best Greek we have found around!

Love this place. It’s a family operation so you know your food is fresh. It does take time from when you order to when you receive your food but I’m not in a hurry. The food is worth the wait. If your in a hurry there’s a Mikie D’s in the area go for it!

pretty average. greek salad was nothing special. I had the gyro platter and there was virtually NO onion on it and what there was was cut up almost like a dice. Tsatziki was marginal. Worst of all was the price. $ 34 for the 2 of us. we shared a greek salad, I had the gyro platter and wife had spinach pie and we had 2 bottles of water. Drive a few miles and come up to Port Charlotte to Olympia. Far better and no more expensive. One and done w/​Nellys.

There are not too many restaurant where I can honestly say wow at the cleanliness. This place is spotless, the open view kitchen is cleaner than most hones I’ve been in. The food is excellent, meat and veggies were extremely fresh. I will definitely be back.

Good food at good price. the hummus platter is awesome! The place is small and the hours are short, but well worth it. My husband gets the gyro and loves it. I get a vegan or vegetarian dish.

Das Nelly’s ist ein neues Familiengeführtes sehr nettes Restaurant. Die Zubereitung der Speisen kann man vom Lokal aus beobachten, alles wird FRISCH zubereitet. Die Menueauswahl besteht zum großen Teil aus Griechischen Gerichten. Das Lokal macht einen sehr sauberen eindruck, und die Gerichte sind hervorragend zubereitet und haben einen hervorragenden Geschmack. Besonders gut hat mit das Gyros Geschmeckt, das kann man hier bestens Empfehlen.
