Sad to hear it has closed. Friendly staff and great Greek food. Homenade Baklava was outstanding. All the good ones close. Enjoy a well deserved retirement

After a successful run of 15 years, we are sad to report that Nikos is closing its doors promptly at 3:00 p.m. on February 28th, 2023, because the owner is retiring. Offering a bit of a spectrum of food choices, we’d recommend that you sample their traditional Greek fare including souvlaki and gyro. Whatever your menu selection, make sure to pour a large helping of tzatziki sauce all over it. Seriously, poured on Greek food (or really ANY food), that stuff is amazing! Just some fair warning, we believe that it might contain enough garlic to repel mosquitoes (and for sure your date). ? The only thing we found better than that tzatziki sauce was the baklava and our Review Team had exactly zero trouble believing that it was homemade. Where we did differ was how to attempt to describe it. While I preferred the term “juicy” when describing it, I was assured by the other team members that a better descriptor was “syrupy.” There was no denying that it provided flakey bites of goodness. We found the service to be friendly and welcoming (as always) and the authentic Greek music playing in the background to be an additive to the environment. So long old friend… And that’s…Henry’s Take. #vistagreekfood

The owner was very friendly and made sure everyone enjoyed the food. The food was great considering the price. They have very good portions for a good price. I'll definitely be back.

I came here when I was on a brewery crawl and I was impressed with this spot. I really didn't know what to expect but the prices were right, the customer service was good enough, and the food very was tasty. I wa impressed with this spot yeah it's not the best but it was pretty solid in my book! Definitely a place to try out if you're in the area. Check out my pics to see what I ordered because you can't go wrong with their baklava!

I had a delicious dinner at Niko's recently. I had the dinner plate with Gyros and quarter chicken. Everything on the plate was tasty. They don't skimp on the portions; the plate was huge and a good value. I'm definitely going back again.

So GOOD. If you love Greek food go here! Best place I’ve found since moving to SoCal.

Fresh and delicious food. Every time. Will always keep coming back and super convenient when you're hungry after a Home Depot run! Love it!

We stopped for dinner last night. It was 20 minutes before closing, but the owners were very gracious. My husband had the gyro plate and I had the half-chicken plate. Both were served quickly and everything was well prepared and tasted delicious. Definitely had enough leftovers for a couple of more meals. Will be back!

This place is great. Awesome quick service. The burgers are delicious, the breakfast, everything really. Also, if ranch is your thing, they have some of the best ranch I've had.

Niko is pretty good. I came for the Gyro sandwich a few weeks ago and then again for breakfast a few days ago. The gyro sandwich has a ton of meat and it's really cheap 8.99. The breakfast special is pretty big and cheap for $6.99.

Olga and Nick catered a party for us last night for a party of 30. Outstanding! So many complemented the food! Both were so helpful, allowing me to make last minute adjustments (feta on the side!) And the absolute BEST falafels! Killer spanakopita ! Very generous portions and helpful hints on how to keep warm. Thank you both for helping make the party a success! Highly recommend!

Love that we found this place! My only wish is that it was closer to my house in San Diego! Delish delish delish! All so flavorful and everyone's plate was licked cleaned! We got the gyro plate and the two skewers with beef and chicken... my son got the steak burger and he loved it!the lemon chicken was also very good! Will be here again if we are in the area!

Great food all around! I personally like their burger with gyro. The salads are also an excellent option as well. They give you a good portion with all their food and don't skimp on their portion sizes.

Came with 2 dressings plus tzatziki sauce so didn’t have to ask for more which is so often the case with prepared salads. Plenty of gyros and kind, courteous service
