This place is solid! The food is great. The Ambiance is great... the bar can be a lot of fun sometimes with live music

Lamb shank was fantastic, and we really enjoyed the mixed grill as well! The pita and hummus was much better than store bought too.

Was a duo playing a very amazing music, we got the best long Island teas on Virginia, our server hispanic guy was excellent! But the manager ruin everything, with his a rude attitude. He start putting the chair up.side down on top all the tables around us, and wasn't even close time. We will get back only when he is off.

Amazing Mediterranean food. Tried Baba Ganoush and Chicken Shwarma and it was too good. Cozy and welcoming atmosphere, server was amazing too.

Nick's Taverna is hands down one of my favorite spots in Ashburn! I popped in for dinner the other night and was seriously impressed with everything we tried. It has a laid-back vibe, perfect for a casual night out with friends or family, and the food is top-notch. If you're into Mediterranean flavors, this place is a must-visit.
We started with the Greek Salad, and it was super fresh and flavorful. The mix of crunchy romaine, juicy tomatoes, and kalamata olives was on point, but the feta cheese totally stole the show. Plus, the Greek dressing tied it all together perfectly. It was the kind of salad where every bite has something tasty going on. Definitely not your boring side salad.
Then came the falafel, and wow. These chickpea fritters were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside—just the way falafel should be! The combo of the falafel with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and that tangy tahini sauce was so satisfying. It was light but still packed with flavor, and the torshi (pickled veggies) added a nice punch.
For the main course, I went with the Beef Shawarma, and it was just fantastic. The beef was super tender and char-grilled to perfection. With all the fresh veggies and that creamy tahini sauce, it hit all the right notes. I could seriously eat this every week. If you’re craving delicious Mediterranean food in a chill atmosphere, Nick’s Taverna is where it’s at!

We went to Nick’s Taverna when there was a torrential downpour. So there weren’t that many dining during that time.
I ordered the Greek Salad with Chicken. It was really great. The chicken was grilled and had a little char on it, which I love. The seasoning on the chicken also tasted wonderful and was cooked perfectly, not dry. I would definitely order again. The Greek dressing was homemade and was excellent.
My husband got the Gyro (Lamb) and he said it was very good. Mediterranean Fries came with it and they were excellent.
The waiter was attentive and refilled our water glasses and asked if we needed anything. He was great!
We’ll definitely be returning to Nick’s soon. It’s very close to where we live and it was a nice meal that didn’t feel “heavy”.
