Niko Niko's

"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 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

"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
