There are a few things I could complain about- parking, the wait, some of the idiots that eat there.... but the food is SO, SO, SO GOOD that there's no reason to really whine here.
I am probably the pickiest person I know when it comes to chicken- but the chicken kebob chicken is so clean, not vein-y or fatty. Cooked perfectly and bursting with flavor. The Greek Salad is perhaps the best greek salad i've ever had. The pita is soooooo good.... i'm assuming it's the real, authentic pita- nothing you can find at any grocery store. Delicious!
- Pros: Delicious!
- Cons: parking, not totally fast [20minutes plus for anything ordered to-go]
Pretty Good

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.
- Pros: Friendliness
- Cons: Plastic Ware is too cheap.
Going downhill

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.
- Pros: Patio, desserts, very clean
- Cons: Food is expensive, greasy, rude staff
Treasure with alot of TRASH!!

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...!!
- Pros: Quick counter service, nice patio
- Cons: Disposable EVERYTHING!!
Great flavor but the portions are getting smaller

Love the gyro plate and their used to be enough to have leftovers for lunch the next day. But the servings have shrunk so the 'value' part of the equation has caused a star to be lost. Still some of the best greek food in the city.
I love this place...

Overpriced & Overrated

My husband and I ate regularly (1 x week for 2 years) at Niko Niko's until recently when the quality of food s decreased and the prices increased.
Here is what we used to pay for our regular take-out order along with the new price of each item:
Hummus with Pita (half order): was $3.95, now $5.95
Small greek salads : was $3.75, now $4.75
Chicken Avgolemono soup: was $4.50, now $5.95
Gyro sandwich: was $6.75, now $7.95
Not only have the prices increased but the quality declined drastically. The Hummus with Pita half order used to come with a generous portion of fresh veggies. Now the order includes 2 tomatoes, 2 cucumbers, 2 peppers, and 2 olives---all for $2 more than earlier this year. The greek salads used to be full of fresh veggies as well. Now they come with a bowl full of lettuce and 1 small slice of onion, 1 tiny banana pepper, a couple of cucumbers, two slices of tomatoes, and olives ($1 more). The chicken soup used to be bigger and full of chicken chunks. Now, the soup comes in a container 1/3 smaller in size and you're lucky if you get one chunk of chicken. ($1.20 more).
Niko Niko's is overpriced and overrated!
Still the best

I have been going to Niko Niko's for as long as I can remember. It has been the best in town for a long time, their spanakopita and gyros are untouchable... The best in town, hands down.
- Pros: Best Greek in town
- Cons: Can be busy at times, well worth the wait

This place is among my favorite 3 places to eat in all of Houston. I've never had bad food, the portions are large, and the atmosphere great. I could eat here several times a week if I had a limitless wallet!! Be prepared to always stand in a line, but don't fret, the food is WELL worth the wait. Parking has improved, so if you've heard bad things about parking, it's probably from someone who hasn't been in a while. I eat here about 3 times a month.
Lots of sizzle but no steak.

First and last time customer. I was led here by all the great reviews this restaurant has received. I tried the gyro with french fries. Bad choice. I had to throw away most of it because it was awful. The meat was dry and the fries were soggy and tasted like burnt oil. I added some of the sauce that came with the gyro to give it some flavor, but it was in vain. I felt sick for two days after eating this food. I guess some of the other plates might be good, but I'll never know because I don't plan to return. I have a feeling the owner writes or pays people to write some of the great reviews about the gyros to fool us into coming to this restaurant. Save your $ and dine elsewhere. Peace out!
- Pros: No Pros
- Cons: Gyros and Fries are not good.
