Hands down the best restaurant in the Durham-Raleigh area. I love it!!
Amazing meal, very attentive and knowledgeable waiter
One of my new favorites in the triangle. Can you open up another in Raleigh or Clayton please?
5 stars easily, the most surprising flavor packed food from a restaurant I've had in a while. Ordered 7 different menu items to sample multiple. Each were amazing in their own category.

Nikos is a restaurant known for its excellent meals and wonderful service. The menu features rotating specials, with standout dishes like whipped pistachio cheesecake, zucchini cakes, and the incredible Chicken Shawarma, which is far from the standard Americanized Greek fast food. Diners can also enjoy a great selection of Greek wine and dishes like the superb Greek Mac and Cheese and top-notch Greek yogurt. The atmosphere is delightful, with beautiful and comfortable decor, creating a relaxed setting. Knowledgeable servers provide great recommendations, and one server, Athena, has been highlighted for her warm and friendly service. The food is beautifully served, and the ambiance is refreshing, making for a memorable dining experience. Many visitors recommend Nikos, especially for its delicious dishes and welcoming environment, despite some challenges with parking and hard wood chairs. The restaurant remains a favorite for both regular visits and bringing guests from out of town, with dishes like tzatziki, muhammara, and fried cauliflower from the mezze section highly praised. The brunch menu, including cilbir, and the variety of cocktails with fun serving elements add to its appeal. Overall, Nikos offers a consistently great experience with friendly service and flavorful food.
