The Scene
No matter the time of day or night, diverse followers crowd into this zany-looking, converted service station and wait to order at the bustling counter. Slanted floors, plastic blue paneling and tables crammed together are a misleading introduction to this friendly, quick and clean eatery that produces an astonishing amount of food.
The Food
Gyros don't get much better than this: Moist, aromatic lamb slices are blanketed by a warm, plushy pita with sweet onions and creamy cucumber-garlic tzatziki sauce. Chickpea croquettes (falafel) sauced with sesame-scented tahini are savory and non-greasy. Stuffed grape leaves can be oily; conversely, the vinegary Greek salad is splendid, crowned with kalamata olives and thick slices of tomato and feta. Juicy lemon-oregano marinated pork chops are char-grilled to perfection and best paired with the award-winning skin-on fries.

We have always enjoyed the food and the service, however the plastic forks always break, you would think they would upgrade to something a little more sturdy considering the prices they charge. I will recommend to atleast eat here once.

I've been eating here for years and the prices are high while the quality of the food is steadily declining, Gyros are greasy, portions are shrinking, fried food tastes like burnt oil, and to top it off half the time the counter staff is rude. The parking lot expansion was nice, but everything else is getting worse. I also agree with the previous poster about the absolutely MONUMENTAL amount of trash they create with absolutely no efforts to conserve or recycle. Very environmentally unconscious.

I just recently dined at Nikos Nikos for the first time and the food was delish, service was great and I defo look forward to returning however in this day and age how can such a popular restaurant get away with serving EVERYTHING in disposable containers?! Plates and bowls are styrofoam, cups and utensils are plastic - everything goes in the trash. I do not even want to begin to imagine how much trash this restaurant produces... Like I said - this was my first visit and in my haste for a gyro maybe I walked by the "We Recycle" sign or just didn't take notice of their recycling bins (please, please tell me you guys recycle at least some of what is tossed...) but, when as a society we are being taught to be mindful of the amount of trash we produce, to recycle what we can, and even bring our own bags to grocery stores I cannot believe that we may one day have to bring our own plates and cups to dinner at Nikos Nikos. I really hope I am wrong but I expected more from a Houston landmark such as Nikos Nikos - time to get eco-friendly guys...!!

Parking is tight in front. You'll find more parking directly across Montrose Boulevard.
Know Before You Go:
To-go orders are popular here. If you don't take it home, you'll be stuck with Styrofoam plates and plastic forks. Don't forget to take the addictive honey-drizzled baklava home with you, too.
