"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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Niko Niko’s is a great place to get some tasty food that fills your tummy. There are many good options for a meal; the gyro plate, one of these options, is a classic Greek dish that tastes wonderful. It includes gyro meat (lamb), pita bread, tzatziki sauce, tomatoes, and a choice of fries, potatoes, or rice. My brother said that his gyro was five stars. That meal is always a solid choice, but the burgers here are also smashing. I ordered the Bacon Kasseri Burger, which includes a large beef patty, onions, crispy bacon, and a sizable amount of amazing Greek Kasseri cheese. Many fries came with my meal, and they were seasoned well, adding considerably good flavor to them. Our food took a little while to come out: 20 minutes or so. However, it was well worth the wait. I would recommend coming here whenever you’re in the area.
