Overpriced & Overrated

by awareconsumer at Citysearch

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!

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.

OVERPRICE PLASTIC WEAR

by HoustonSweetGirl at Citysearch

I went to Niko Niko?s last night and spent $15 on rolled cabbage. I paid $15 for ground beef mixed with rice rolled in a cabbage. Once again, I paid $15 for a mixture of GROUND BEEF ANS RICE. I should add that I ate it on plastic wear!!!

THIS RESTAURANT IS OVER PRICE. FOR $15 A PLATE A EXPECT MORE THAN PLASTIC WEAR AND SERVE YOUR OWN DRINK SERVICE.

The food was alright but I could have eaten better for $15 or cooked it at home.

• Pros: Montrose Area
• Cons: Expensive, Expensive, The most expensive fast food

Caution: May be arrested while dining here!

by LeCielEstRouge at Citysearch

My husband is from Greece, and mentioned to the manager that one of their dishes is not authentic since it was made with beef and not lamb, and the manager literally tells him that if he wants that entree with lamb then he needs to go back to Greece!! How rude is that?!?!?! After that comment he said he would never eat here again because of the rude service and lack of authenticity and the manager tells him that if he doesn't leave then she will call the cops. I swear, he never said a harsh word to her and she threatened to have him arrested. Haha. Needless to say we won't be going back.

Nikos??????

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

Great Greek Food

by texasqt at Citysearch

The food here is great, although it seems that it used to be better, I guess when you start to get pretty big, you don't put as much effort into everything...however it's still great and I eat there at least once a month...I don't know why some people said that it was pricy, this place is super cheap for the quality of food that you get...to go orders are a must since they don't have real plates or cups...if you've never been I do recommend that you go.

• Pros: good food, good value
• Cons: plastic plates
