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”.
Everything was excellent, I can not complain about anything, the food ? Same taste like Greece. Service? Excellent, especially I have to mention Cristiana and Damian. It is my favorite restaurant now. Also the dessert Galaktoboureko was delicious, I have to taste more of them, Gyros gooood!!
Parking: Plenty of parking ?️

Took us too long to try this place out, but we've been several times since we discovered it. This place is outstanding and they have lots of vegetarian options. We've tried the meze sampler, falafel platter, chicken kabob platter, and one of the desserts. Everything is always so fresh, so delicious, and you don't finish a meal feeling like it's weighing you down. Our food has been accurate everytime and they are very accommodating for food allergies/sensitivities and they actually have great substitutes. The dolmades are the best around! I'd highly recommend this place. **NOTE: I didn't realize their hours have changed. They do not open until 3pm on Mondays.**
(It won't let me caption my pictute...it's the meze sampler, minus the pita bread.)
Start here: saganaki is my happy place and this place has BANGIN saganaki. The chicken souvlaki was incredible- so flavorful and moist and melting in your mouth. Village Salad was outstanding - that feta! those stuffed grape leaves! Hummus was solid. New favorite spot unlocked.
Will be back, so much to try. Great price and taste.

The most amazing food and ambience! Everything you order is good esp the gyro and chicken souvlaki! Our server Tim whom we usually get is pleasant, courteous and welcoming! Highly recommend this place!
Uninviting atmosphere!When I came in to pick up my food the staff acted as if I was in their way. No protocol on take outs. Food was cold and tasteless and I usually love Greek food. Never giving my money to people like this again.
