April 29, 2025 // Franchising.com // SAN JOSE, Calif. - Nick the Greek is bringing its signature flavors to San Clemente, California, with the debut of its newest location. The brand’s newest restaurant is owned and operated by first-time franchisee Tanmay Chawla.

“San Clemente is a vibrant coastal city with a strong sense of community, and we’re thrilled to introduce Nick the Greek’s fresh, Greek cuisine to its dynamic dining scene,” said Chawla. “With our prime location and dedication to exceptional food, we look forward to becoming a neighborhood favorite while actively supporting local schools, businesses and organizations.”

Established in 2014 by cousins Big Nick, Little Nick and Baby Nick Tsigaris – all named after their grandfather per Greek tradition – Nick the Greek satisfies the desire for healthy, flavorful and authentic Greek cuisine in a fast casual environment without compromising quality. Drawing from two generations of restaurant entrepreneurship and countless visits to Greece, the street food-inspired menu boasts flavorful gyro meats cooked in-house on a traditional vertical rotisserie, charbroiled souvlaki skewers, zesty sauces, fresh vegetables and authentic Greek treats including baklava and loukoumades.
