“This is probably my favorite cafe in Houston. The Americano my wife and I shared was literally the best coffee we’ve had maybe ever. The food was fantastic. The place was clean and inviting. The staff was very friendly and efficient. We wish we lived in town so we could come here more often.“

“Ordered the mixed (beef and chicken) sandwich it was very good. The fries portion is very big, meal came with a lot of sauce at no extra cost. Falafel was good. The star of the show though was definitely the BAKLAVA! Restaurant was also clean service was fast and staff was polite.“

“This food is to die for. It was our first time and the staff was extremely friendly helping us navigate the ordering process. Everything we ordered was perfect and the pita was the best we've ever had. I enjoyed crafting each bite individually with different sides and proteins; the flavor combinations seemed endless! I don't live in Houston, so unfortunately I'll have to dream about this food until we get a chance to come back.“

“Finally was able to try Big Bite and so glad I did. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap and a gyro. Both were very good with lots of meat and the classic flavors you are looking for. Meat was tender, juicy and not over salted. Sauces were all great and the chili sauce had a nice little kick.Luckily, the owner showed up while I was there because he told me that the ‘over rice’ things are what they are know for. He hooked me up with a sample that blew me away with that flavor packed rice. That is the way to go. Excellent!! You don’t have to be out at the bars to stop by and grab some grub. So make a stop!“

“Did you know Niko Niko’s was just the size of the area where you order? I have been coming here since I was a child and it’s amazing to see the place prosper while still maintaining such good quality food. This is by far my favorite restaurant in Houston.Vegetarian options: Best vegetarian lasagna in existence. Hands down“

“Fantastikós! A gem! Super friendly and we loved everything we ordered this first visit. You can tell there is love put into this food! We ate at the restaurant and ordered: Spana omelet (listed under brunch but we had it for dinner) with greens, meat mezze, gigantes, moussaka, lamb wrap with lemon potatoes, spanakopita, mint lemonade and white wine that I can't find on online menus. Plates are great for sharing. The menu there is more extensive than menu I've seen online. Our entire party loved everything (save our picky eater who tried and ate much more than she does at any other restaurant!) The atmosphere is clean, cozy, intimate and warm. I foresee this becoming a family favorite.“

“It is impossible to not get full at Niko Nikos. The food is amazing and has so much flavor. I ordered the dolmathes plate and it came with a side and a Greek salad. My group ordered appetizers so I could hardly make a dent in my own food. Again, amazing flavor and huge portions. If I’m ever back in Houston I know where I’m eating.“

“Such a terrific diner vibe and quintessentially Houston. Melissa is the most cheerful and efficient server, and the breakfast is awesome. Don’t miss the Simo’s Special with the best pancakes in town. You really shouldn’t eat all of it, but you will.“

“If you're looking for a quick bite this place is where you need to visit if you're wanting to eat something different than the local fast food in this area!! People are friendly restaurant is cozy and quiet. I eat lunch here and This Old House is playing on the television in the corner. The menu is easy to read food is always hot and you get a bottled drink with the special. Today In the photos I ordered a lamb gyro with salad and added dolmades. I'm never disappointed with the food here..“

“Absolutely delicious food! Best lamb gyro I've ever had, the quality and quantity is mesmerizing.They recently moved to their new location and took out the Wael's burger from the menu which was my boyfriend's and friend's favorite, very sad about that, that would be the only negative thing to say, I hope they bring it back soon.Otherwise absolutely amazing!“

“Man this place is awesome. Y'all stay away so I can get a table. Elana Vann of Quiote fame has an amazing cocktail program and the space itself is just amazing- big sliders open onto a balcony. Parking across the street. Menu is strong - eggplant tempura was great and the pork skewers too. The three dips are great. Live music started at 9 and was great.“

“It matters to me, how employees are treated by their management. Where I spend my money matters especially now. An employee was serving a client ahead of me in a To-go platter. As he serves the gentleman. A man, about 5’10, black curly hair, in a fitted well ironed stripped long sleeve button up with black slacks came around to “help” as I assumed. But instead he grabs the platter out of the employees hand as he towers over him, looks him up and down, SCOFFS, and his facial expression didn’t match the situation, it was discuss and distain. Mind you, it was about tabouli being put in a place in the To-Go box. This happened in front of me, and in front of another client. He says nothing to the employee but an eye roll. And proceeds to serve the other client. Why does it matter? Why do I care? I have worked in the food industry my whole life, and just like that man treated the employee I too was treated in such ways. If you don’t understand, I’m sorry you have lived a life of convenience and haven’t had to experience being mistreated. The food is excellent the, the place is clean. The only thing that is lacking, is their humanity. Do better. Be kinder.“

“Both the food truck AND the restaurant had a large variety of Indian food. The portions were well served and wry delicious. We went back three times in a row. Twice to the food truck and once to the restaurant. No difference in food quality and service. Staff was friendly and helpful. Wish it was closer to home so I could eat there more often.“

The fries are more big potato wedges but also fine Casual, clean bathrooms, full stomach Recommended if you are close by! Pricing is $17.58“

“I ordered takeout from here on a Wednesday and then turned right around and dined in on Thursday. The gyros are top notch and the fries are decent as well. It's counter service and inside a gas station but super comfortable and convenient for a weeknight dinner where you don't want to cook. Service was pretty neutral. Quick but not overly friendly. This will become a new regular spot.“

“Accidentally ended up here during a late night drive and actually walked in looking for a vegan restaurant. The waiter (Juan) was so friendly that his cheerfulness convinced me to stay and dine on the patio of the restaurant. Juan recommended their vegan option, which was a vegan wrap. IT WAS DELICIOUS. I thoroughly enjoyed the scenery while sitting on the porch as the cars drove by. The music was classical and I was very relaxed while eating my meal because the ambiance was perfect. Thank you Juan for your excellent hospitality. Will definitely be back!“

“We went early on a Sunday morning after Church as it gets super busy later on. We got a table but was a bit close to the door so we moved to the bar which was much nicer. Service was good and food delicious. It’s a little pricey and I think the portions are a bit smaller than they use to be but the quality is very good. It’s clear why people come here.“

“I had a great dinner of souzoukakia (beef and lamb meatballs) and a glass of wine. Perfect. I am an American of Greek heritage, so I know that good Greek food is hard to find, especially in Houston. This is good Greek food. I was here once before and tried their spanakopita. Their spanakopita is not traditional. It was very good, but I think they could probably make the best traditional spanakopita in Texas if they tried. And why no chicken souvlaki? Another dish that would go over great is fasolakia (potatoes and green beans in tomato sauce).“

“Dimitri was our server tonight and he was spectacularly good. There are very few places at all with service as good as what Athena's displayed. I rarely write reviews, but Dimitri was in particular so notable I had to.Athena's creates a food experience that exemplifies the word family. Great home style food, fresh and hearty, with a delectably satisfying taste; atmosphere like a reunion or a wedding; all with personal and perfectly attentive service. Somewhere between, and including, a place you could take a first date or the neighborhood staple spot - Athena's is a top tier dining experience in every aspect.“
