Improved parking! Compared to prior customer's postings, Niko Niko's has improved their parking situation. The new outdoor seating is really nice, and on a day like ours it made for a very enjoyable outdoor meal for the lunch club. Portions were very generous and this was an overall "good" value. Perhaps even, a great value. The kitchen pushes out quality food and fast with excellent technical skill. Very consistent throughout our lunch club's meals. This is a very casual place and the plates and utensils match the (cheap food) theme with all disposable plastic wares (seemingly from Sam's Club). The disposable wares (are they earth friendly?) seemed out of place while enjoying the new outdoor patio. Highlights: The Soutzoukakia (Greek meatballs in tomato sauce) was outstanding. We were warned this dish would take extra time to prepare (at least 20 minutes). It is worth the wait and recommended for all to try if you can spare the extra time. Patio Seating (music, lights, fans ). Greek Passion Tea. Quality Food - Gyro, Feta/Spices, Potato Wedge Fries, etc. Restrooms were Clean. Lowlights: The Greek salad was rather underwhelming. Although the feta and spices were good, the ice berg lettuce seemed rather flat (regular "cheap" fare). Potential Parking Problem - Rainy weather could create a mud pit in the newly opened parking lot. Long Lines, but move quickly - Get there early for lunch! Gyro Plate (not the same Greek effect as the Gyro sandwich). Traffic (What can you do?). The Chicken Greek Salad meal - overloaded with dressing and stemmed iceberg on the cheap side. Beverage Station - location prior to ordering food causes confusion amongst patrons in line.
