Nikos??????

by dolphindreamx at Citysearch

Niko's on Montrose was a terrible experience with long line, very crowded, very noisy, no service, average-bland food, hard to find a place to sit...wouldn't come back here.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Food, long lines, very crowded

food... is worth all the parking lot hassles!

by plushpalate2 at Citysearch

Great food! Don't be deterred by the long lines because they're suprisingly fast. Love the gyros, lemon potatoes and hands down, one of the best (and biggest serving size) pork chops around town. The fries have changed a bit but all the same, it's still satisfying. Carpool with your friends during dinner/lunch or else, one of you will be stuck circling the parking lot/block for a parking spot!!

• Pros: food, casual setting, portion size
• Cons: parking!!.. don't go in the midst of lunch because the line will be out the door!

Not for someone who has eaten authentic Greek food.

by oleblue at Citysearch

A place for people who have not eaten at an authentic non-Americanized Greek restaurant.

The order of Dolmathes was bland, with no Greek spices, it tasted like regular fast food grind meat and mushy rice processed together.

The Gyros slices were OK but lacked the pizzazz I am used to, & the chicken chunks were dry and lifeless. The tzatziki sauce & yalandji dolma were OK but again not what I am used to.

The Oven Potato was the best thing on the plate, this coming from a person who cannot get enough Dolmathes and Gyro slices

• Pros: Festive atmosphere, Lots of Character to the place
• Cons: Americanized food, Very long wait even on ?slow? hours

what can i say

by leexjd at Citysearch

I am a picky person when it comes to restaurants, I don't deal well with bad food or bad service- niko niko's has neither. The food here is consistently great, they are fast and attentive, and that's why it is always busy! If I lived nearby I would be very fat from their food. That being said here are the downsides:

The last time I went the dolmas were way too salty, otherwise I've never had an issue with the food. I wish they would give more pita with some of the entrees and definitely with the hummus appetizer, I always go back and buy more. Parking is annoying, of course, but try to go at an off hour and you'll be fine. The restaurant is cold (what restaurant isn't cold?) but eating outside in Houston can sometimes be iffy (rains spontaneously, too hot, insects, smokers) so maybe bring a coat if you're always cold like me.

Great casual spot

by midtownmonkey at Citysearch

Ate here for the umpteenth time today and wow, these guys never get it wrong. The model of efficiency, they just plow through miles of customers with smiles all the way. The renovation/expansion has helped ease the pain of finding a table. Greek salad with chicken is always awesome, also the Greek lasagna thing they do is wonderful. Even the burgers are pretty good. Highly recommend it.

• Pros: Everything
• Cons: Need more locations

gyros -YUMMY

by prnnstatebill at Citysearch

This is my second time to live in the Houston area, The food at nikkos has not changed in my 5years abroad. their gyros- YUMMY. I have tried all items on menu and never had a stinker, their seafood is so fresh, just takes time to cook, because it is done to order it does not sit and get nasty. The only bad thing - too many people know about it.

• Pros: GREAT FOOD
• Cons: PARKING

decent greek food, not so much for ambience

by missorenishii at Citysearch

this quaint greek restaurant tucked in the heart of montrose gives a hole-in-the-wall-fast-food-joint vibe. the ambience is much to be desired of, but the decent greek food more than makes up for that. it's a great place for a quick bite to eat or when you're in a hurry and need fast service.*

• Pros: decent greek food
• Cons: ambience, parking

Best Gyro's

by mbeeson at Citysearch

Busy place - but they can handle the lines! Friendly service, quick delivery of food. The food is very good, and plentiful. Have the gyro - its wonderful, with the lemon potatos...yummy. The greek salad is choc full of feta, and a small size is plenty for two to share. Wine is reasonably priced too. Wish we had one in the Galleria area!

• Pros: Very Good Food
• Cons: Busy lunches can be a bit crowded - hard to find parking
