The 11 Best Places For Soup In Houston

"The chicken avgolemono soup at Niko Niko’s is available whenever you want. This bowl is a cure-all for when you are wary of, might be, or already are sick. It’s an injection of zippy lemon, just enough rice to be filling, some errant chopped carrots and celery, and protein from roast chicken and savory broth. It’s simple, to the point, and feels like the soup version of a weighted blanket." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi

The 14 Best Mediterranean Restaurants In Houston

"The family-run Niko Niko’s has been serving gyros in Montrose since 1977. It’s now a fast-casual takeout empire with folks lining up for one of the hundreds of items on its delightful, cartoon-colored menu. Think loaded plates of lamb kebabs with seasoned rice and crispy fries, salads topped with massive slabs of feta, and a chicken avgolemono soup that can cure any ailment, allegedly. Food at Niko Niko’s flies out of the kitchen fast, and one plate can feed at least two people, especially because each one comes with about a million extra pieces of pita bread." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene

Houston’s Best Mediterranean Restaurants

"This time-honored Houston restaurant has outposts in Montrose, Downtown, and Memorial — all offering hefty menus of Greek plates. Go for a traditional gyro platter, or try something with a Tex-Mex twist, like the pita quesadillas with sliced gyro meat. Breakfast calls for its baklava French toast or a bacon, egg, and cheese pita." - Brittany Britto Garley

This is not our first trip to Nico's We come back every time we come back to Houston. We had the roasted chicken, and it fell..off..the bone. And the potatoes were delicious! Looking for some great food and dining, add this to your stop. We make one mistake of not leaving room for dessert.

It had been years since I visited. A friend of mine was not sure if she had been there. The employees are very friendly and courteous. I was ready to taste the wonderful food. She on the other hand has a sweet tooth. We talked for hours without interruption. We felt at ease enjoying our snack. The baklava cheese cake is like people say " It's to die for". Her first time tasting the baklava, I loved it. It's one of my reasons for choosing to dine there. We will definitely be coming back in order to try other delicacies.

I went there today for a field trip for my school because our teacher recommended it and it was so good! I got the chicken gyro and the size was so filling and the fries with the tzatziki sauce was amazing! I also got the strawberry smoothie that tasted like yogurt but it was so refreshing especially on a hot day! They had a bunch of other sweets which I wish I was able to try but I would definitely come here again!

I love the show Dives, Diners, and Drive Ins and I’d heard about this place from there. I was excited because I love Greek food. Let me tell you it was worth the wait. We went in for lunch on a Saturday and it was pretty busy but was not too bad of a wait. You order at a register and then sit down and pick up your food when it is ready. The menu is very large and I appreciated this as there were a lot of options for everyone. We had our family of 14 here and everyone found something they liked! I ended up deciding on the Greek Salad Pita and added Grilled Chicken, green peppers rather than red, and got Fries as a side. Hands down one of the best pitas I’ve ever had. Everything about it was delicious. It was so juicy and had just enough of all the ingredients. I love feta and this had plenty of it, so I was thrilled about that. The fries had seasoning on them and were the perfect pairing to the pita. The amount of food was great and VERY filling. Lots of fries for each plate so you could definitely share with someone if you wanted. I also decided to get a dessert. I got the Hazelnut cake and my dad got the Troufa chocolate cake. Both were absolutely delicious. The Troufa cake was rich in chocolate and the mousse was the perfect texture. The Hazelnut cake was just as good but not as heavy. I’d definitely recommend it for someone who loves chocolate but doesn’t want it to be overpowering. The cake on both were very moist and the cream was light and airy. I didn’t get a picture of the Troufa cake but the pictures attached is the Hazlenut cake. I’d go back here anytime I’m in town. It was one of the best places I’ve been in a long time.

Great place to eat kid friendly. During happy hour coffees & deserts are half off!! The employees are great very nice. The food is above and beyond in quality & quantity. Never had a bad experience. Love this place!

We came for lunch. It was pretty busy. You order at the counter, get a pager and return to pick up your food. I got the small Greek Salad with grilled chicken. The serving size was perfect for lunch and quite tasty. The Greek salad dressing was excellent. My husband had the Philly Cheese steak and enjoyed it. Be aware it takes about 15 minutes extra for them to make the Philly dish.

Came here for the first time, I saw the episode of Guy Fieri visiting this spot. We tried the chicken gyro which fries which was so tasty and delicious. The flavors of the chicken were so seasoned. The honey ball desert was really good.

Love this place. Have gone there many times in person and always enjoy their Gyro with fries. My wife loves their potatoes. The baklava is also delicious. Somehow - I never yelped them. Maybe bc I just go there and quickly devour the food? On this occasion, yelping after my friends brought us a ton of food on our Meal Train. Food traveled well and it did not disappoint! Check out this spread!!

June 16, 2025 I lived in Houston from 1986-2013, so i haven't been to Nikos in a long while. I got the chicken avgolemono (soup) which is delicious as it ever was, BUT, the "Nico Meze platter" (is Greek hor d'oeuvres--2 each of) yalandji dolmas, spanakopitas, tiropitas, falafel, and a tiny bit of hummus $16.95 The pastries tasted all the same, the stuffed grape leaves were cold, the falafel was dry. Hummus was ypérochos/ (delicious) NOT worth the price Should have gotten a meat dish I got 2 wedding cookies yum and a rice pudding...FAIL, it was like soup NICO, you let me down today. 3 stars just for the soup **Half off all appetizers on Mondays**

Haven't been here in about 10 years, so I thought I would stop in for a bite. Parking was great! Large lot with available spots during a Saturday lunch. Nice clean and not crowded lot. Plenty of room to maneuver in my truck. I ordered the gyro beef and chicken combo plate, with a Greek salad side upgrade. The salad was good. I remember they put a huge piece of feta on top, and that's my favorite. The gyro beef and chicken combo plate was OK. The chicken was the star for sure. Great grilled flavor and still juicy. The beef I didn't really care for. Chicken would defiantly be my choice here going forward. It is a pretty pricey place for lunch! The gyro plate was $17.95. $4.50 upgrade for salad. $3.50 soda. Total with tip was about $32. Kinda steep for lunch. It was a decent size portion, but since the beef kinda lacked flavor, I'm not sure if it was worth it. But their passion iced tea is delicious!!!

Classic Houston staple. Always consistently good. We tried a variety of things and each dish was delicious. First time trying the cheese sticks and they were perfectly crisp with a soft cheesey pull. Def recommend!

I have not been here in ages and it was good to see they are still doing good with many customer getting the food to-go, but as for me, we dined in and you order at the counter and then you pick your food when it is ready. They have a separate counter for dessert and coffee if you want some after your meal. You get your own drinks and the portion of the food is still big. It is definitely an institution here in Houston. The diner feel is still here at the restaurant.

Love this location in montrose. They have street parking and a decent sized parking lot. The staff are friendly and are willing to help when I have questions about the menu. Great family restaurant to go to. They have a Tuesday gyro special where you get 2 gyros plus sides for $25. I love going here with my family and enjoying the atmosphere. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Most of all their gyro sandwich is delicious as well as their baklava is a good dessert. Yum!

I went to Niko nikos on a Tuesday for their gyro special: 2 gyros and fries for $25. My mom and I split two lamb gyros, and it was more than enough food for two! We went during rodeo season, and Niko Niko's was running a promotion for a free small order of loukoumades if you showed them your rodeo tickets! The gyros were savory and satisfying while the loukoumades were light and sweet. The dining area is casual - making the restaurant a great spot for any occasion.

The food here was so tasty. Everything was seasoned well and cooked to perfection. The service was great. You can place your order online and pick it up curbside or pick it up inside. Either way. Carryout is A1. I did not sit inside, but they have plenty of area for you to sit and eat. I love that they have the option to get grilled or fried wings. I did not try them. I did have the chicken gyro and a Caesar salad. Tzatziki sauce was fresh. Everything here is homemade. I also have gelato and many Greek desserts. I totally see why this place was featured on diners, drive-ins, and dives.

Nikos has been one of my favorites since before I even moved to Houston 11 years ago. Recently started doing the pick up option for food on the way home from the office. It has worked out great. The service goes so smoothly in and out. I highly recommend for those on the go. My mini gyros were still fresh and tasty as usual. The salad portions were enough to split. Daydreaming now of my next gyro.

I would guess I'm in the majority of being a divorced individual by the time I was 50. Most of my Houston experiences were brought to you by that now "ex" relationship. Time to let now grown and older past Austin Yelp celebrity Rooster onto my Houston favorites. 50th birthday week; Grandma and GF are along for the ride. We shopped the Galleria and started towards Montrose for a late lunch. Simple order at the counter process. Rooster had wanted to try a Gyro for some time so his request was simple. We chose to share the Greek Combo with Moussaka, Pastichio, Gyro Meat, Spanakopita, and Pita. Comfortably fed 3 diners for $29.99. Came with a nice size sharable salad too. Onto desserts where everyone was wowed by the Loukomades or Honey Balls with cinnamon. We also sampled the house made Baklava and a Coffee/Chocolate cake. Nothing left on the table as we left and drove onto Louisiana for our next dining adventure. Niko Niko's is everything you would want in a Greek restaurant. Wished we had one in Austin!

Ordered sandwiches thru GrubHub. The pictures in the menu included fries and I was charged the price that included fries. But no fries were delivered with the sandwiches!!

I love this place! There are so many options, and it's good, solid, Greek food. I usually get the Greek Combo, so, I can taste everything and see what I'm feeling that day. Today it was the spanakopita and the tiropita, closely followed by the dolmas. It's SOOO much food that I can taste a little of everything, choose what hits-eat that, and then have enough leftover for another meal or two! And let's not forget dessert! The hardest part for me is sticking to one or two. I ALWAYS get baklava-it feels wrong not to. Not a huge fan of some of the others...particularly the cookies-but the baklava is always good. PS-My husband is 100% a gyro and Greek potato guy. He's happy EVERY. SINGLE. VISIT.

I love this place! I recommend this place. This is the authentic Greek food I remember from my semester in Athens nearly 50 years ago. This is not fancy, over priced, snooty Greek food. This is good honest, delicious Greek food. The roast potatoes are as good as Yaya used to make. The Gyros could have come from the Plaka in Athens. The baklava is made with walnuts and honey and love just like it should be. The parking is just adequate for a full house. The service is at the counter and it is efficient and friendly. There is adequate seating but there is nothing fancy. The outdoor seating is my preferred venue but it depends on the day and the weather. The roof may leak and the bathrooms are not great. I keep making my family eat here because it is the real deal!

We had to stop by this place when we were in Houston. This restaurant has been here forever and there are pictures of Guy Fieri on the wall. It was nice whole in the wall. The Pita and Hummus were delicious. We shared The Hercules plate which had a little bit of everything. We finished off with the gelato from the dessert bar. We were from out of town so we were excited tourists. Some of the locals have not given this place as high of a rating but we thought it was great. The atmosphere is nothing fancy and there is plenty of parking. There is content service but the service was prompt. There is outside seating but it was covered since it was blazing hot when we had chance to visit. We will definitely come again.

Niko Niko's is a busy, bustling place! People love it. You'd better be really hungry, even then, you will likely take a lot of delicious food home. Our family enjoyed many of the entrees and appetizers over the years. All are tasty, unique and sensational. Prices are very reasonable especially when one sees the size of the meals. Niko Nikos has counter service (order at the counter and carry to table) The friendly team is consistently top notch at assisting with orders and patient with my bad pronunciation of the food items. I think the Greeks invented great customer service! It leaves all the customers with big smile. We enjoyed listening to Christmas Carols sung in Greek! A very nice touch. We highly recommend Niko Niko's and will continue to be regular happy customers.

I'm obsessed with Diner's Drive-Ins and Dives and we FINALLY visited this Houston DDD joint! We came with my in-laws, who were visiting from out of town. We had just left the zoo and this was a quick drive. Our kiddos got burgers and fries, 2 of us got chicken kabob pitas and 2 got steak sandwiches. The food was GREAT! Loved the chicken kabob! Fries were excellent! Desserts looked AMAZING. We planned to get some to sample but needed up too full. I wanted to try the "honey balls" that we saw on DDD. We'll have to make a trip back to try them! Price is a bit on the higher side but what isn't nowadays? Seemed like we waited a bit for our food but it was around lunchtime. Luckily, the line didn't stretch out the door like on DDD. We sat near the door due to limited seating available. Unfortunately, every time someone came in/out there was a huge wind gust. Note: avoid this table if possible.

I love Niko Niko's! My husband and I go a lot more than I care to admit. We love their gyros, wings, Greek salad, Greek salad pita, and gelato. I will say their quality control needs some work. Sometimes the gyros have a lot of tzatziki while other times it's light on sauce. Same for the salads - sometimes a lot of dressing, sometimes very little. I wish we knew consistently what we were going to get. It would be 5 stars otherwise because the flavor is superb and the staff is very helpful.

Really mediocre food, terrible dry cakes. I don't know why this place has so many stars. We came here for dinner on a Friday night, it was busy so we had high expectations. We ordered the fish and chips and the gyro plate, total came out to be about $42. The good: fries are really really good and crispy, gyro itself if tender. The bad: order took forever to finish. The order was mostly fries with a somewhat small portion of gyro, even though the menu said there was extra amount for the plate. For the cost ($20), it was NOT worth it. Fried fish was also mid, very dry and not much flavor in the breading at all. Roasted potatoes lacked flavor, it tasted just like boiled potatoes. The worst: the cake is so so bad. For EIGHT dollars we got a small slice of the pistachio cake. It tasted sooo artificial, and it had a strong almond extract flavor which was really unpleasant. The chocolate sponge cake layer was also sooo dry, and did not have any chocolate flavor. This was probably one of the worst cakes I've ever had in my life. Just go to HEB and get a cake from their bakery section and it'll be better. Would not recommend at all.

This spot is close by the road so it doesn't have the best ambiance as it gets loud. Seating wasn't comfortable as it could be but this place was packed so it was all about the food. Chicken Philly portions were great and was delicious. I would take it to go next time.

Lots of meat, yummy fries, and good vibes. I like niko niko's. It's a great place for a casual meal with a big group of friends. The spot is very laid back, almost like a diner. There's plenty of parking, but on a busy day, it might be difficult. The prices, I think, are a bit steep at first glance. But the amount of food you get really changes the calculus here. I recommend their fries! It's quite a heavy meal so it really does leave you feeling like you've just eaten a greasy horse but hey sometimes you need that in your life.

I was here the night my 2 / 3 favorite college football teams were playing one another Notre Dame vs Penn State. It was cold and rainy if I remember and ordered a Gyros Sandwich with potatoes this time instead of my usual rice, a Chicken Gyros Sandwich and a Chocolate Mousse Cake. Both orders very delicious, comforting and moist. I thought the Chicken Gyros was just decent. I didn't like the slaw on it and would've preferred tomatoes n lettuce instead as well as more chicken on top of that. As for my main lamb gyros sandwich, here it goes. The pita bread was fresh. The meat was very well seasoned and tender. The tomatoes and taziki sauce were chilled and contrasting with the rest. The potatoes were great in softness and had some lemony zing, but could've used more salt. However, still to my liking and had that bit of bite to fill me up enough. The mousse was very rich in cocoa vibes and nicely creamy in texture. I especially loved the dark ganache on the top half. This sweet treat taste reminded me of a 90s Bon-Bon or Klondike Bar, but in cake form. It even had a like a cinnamon or filo vibe in between the chocolate. I also really like the galaktobourreko, loukomades and chocolate baklava, but this one is my favorite of the sweet treats. Great service again.

This place is hopping. Constant stream of customers. Food was good. No wow factor, but good. Ton of fries when we did the add on. I didn't think they were anything special though like some reviews said. I saw the gyro plate and it was stacked with meat. We got the sandwich however and it wasn't huge but just below average size. They have a kids menu too and I've posted it. 12 and under. They have a kid sized gyro with fries and drink for only 8.95 on it. I thought that was a pretty good deal given that the adult size gyro ala cart is already over 10 bucks. Fries another 4.50 and then drink who knows as we got water. But it adds up quick. We also tried the Nutella and strawberry loukoumades. It's like little donuts in honey. It was pretty good but no wow factor. Problem is it took over 20 minutes. Inside wasn't packed either. Most folks were getting it to go. Looked like a yuppie crowd. Lots of scrubs too. There's plenty of free parking. We went on a weeknight around 6 pm. There's also what looked like a car line for takeaway. I think they must bring it to your car because there's no drive thru window or anything. I don't know. It's so nice out I suggest just eating it out on their patio instead. Love the ambiance. Music added to it. It sounded traditional and in some foreign language that I unfortunately couldn't recognize in order to write more about it.

A Houston Mediterranean food staple at this point. Nothing terribly fancy, more like a good fast food place with friendly and fast service. Plenty of room to dine in or outside. The togo orders always come out quickly. Prices reflect level of dining experience. Not outrageous but don't expect anything super fancy, just a solid meal to satisfy cravings

Here's 1 CHICKEN GYRO $10.50 FRIES***. $4.50 2 Onsd Tomato slices. $0.00 1 16 OZ DRINK CUP - LOGO CUP (did not request logo cup). $3.50 1 SMALL SPANAKOPITAS 3-Three (small triangles 2"x1"... ................ $7.50 Tax.......... $2.15 Tip....... $3.86 TOTAL..... $31.74 !!!! For1!, yes 1 person's lunch ! That's right, I said 1 person's lunch...Never again! And if you are smart, you will heed my advice STAY AWAY!

If you're in Houston and want REAL GOOD Greek food- stop here! It's a very popular and busy place, but moves quickly. You order from the menu as you stand in line, pay for it, get a pager when it's done and off to your seat you go. If you're a dessert person, you will not be disappointed!! The restaurant is clean and someone is always wiping down tables as people finish. The parking is a bit challenging but that's because it's so popular- It's an absolute must visit.

This place is a Montrose staple. Tzatziki is the best I have ever had, my absolute favorite. Gyros are unbelievably tender and filled with flavor. Oven potatoes are my favorite side choice with a meal, so simple but delicious. Great patio area when weather permits. Best Greek restaurant in Houston for me.

WE LOVE THIS PLACE. Not only is it family-owned, has great service, and serves the most delicious Greek food, but it's walkable from where we live. ALWAYS get the gyro platter! Their potatoes are super good as a side, lemony and not heavy at all. Their tzatziki is soooo good. Just all around great vibe. We are regulars at this point lol

We arrived to pick up our order in the drive thru line around 6pm on 05/05/24. The girl managing the pick up was very dismissive and rude. This is not the first time I have dealt with this employee's repugnant attitude. My wife and I cater from niko's whenever we have special events and we always enjoy the food, but the service has been a constant issue.

Niko Nikos is a Houston staple. It literally never disappoints. It's casual place with amazing food. You order at the counter and have a seat.

One of the best burger and fries you'll find in Houston. I've been eating at Niko Nikos since 1995. I'm a creature of habit, when I find something I like on the menu I usually stick with it, so I've loved the usual Gyros or Souvlaki, Greek potatoes, hummus, falafel, or the wonderful Chicken Avelegmo soup. But today I was in the mood for a burger and if there is one thing so know, Dimitri Fetokakis (the Owner) has never steered me wrong. Years ago he said "try the burger, it's really good," and I'm sorry to say I never wanted to "waste" a trip to NikoNikos on just a burger. Wow was I sorry I waited. I ordered it for pickup since I live close and I was settling in for a Netflix afternoon. That was one of the juiciest, most deliciously satisfying burgers I've had in years. I ordered a burger with grilled onions, jalapeños, and Kasseri (Greek) cheese, medium, and their fabulous hand cut fries. I know the fries are very important to Dimitri because we met in 95 when I was eating with my parents and he stopped by the table to check on our food and noticed we hadn't eaten many fries that day. We were honest and said they were a bit cold and not very good. He made sure we had a hot fresh order, up to his usual standards immediately and thanked us for bringing it to his attention. That and the love for his family impressed me and won him a customer for life. We've talked many times since that day when I'd bump into him somewhere and he is always smiling and warm. His staff is top notch and it's been fun to watch this family man grow his parent's little restaurant into the Houston icon it is now. Today I was reminded how intentioned Dimitri is. If it's on the menu, it's not an afterthought, it's meant to be there for a reason. It's that good. Don't overlook the burger!

A Houston classic with delicious gyros! Hard to choose between their oven baked potatoes and their fries as both are fantastic.

Delicious Greek food. Definitely recommend it. Definitely try the desserts. If you can't eat it there take it to go a lot of food.

I always enjoy a meal at Niko Niko's. My buddy just got out of prison after 12 years in and the first place he wanted to go was here. There's always a line on the weekend, but that's to be expected with how good the food is! There was a line, but there's plenty of seating when you do get your order in, and the people behind the line are so friendly and helpful. What I love about eating here is the dividers set up between tables that they installed for Covid, not because they're there, but because it makes it nice and cuts down on the noise so you can have a good conversation. Their baklava is to die for!
