    I had a fantastic experience at Nikos! The zucchini cakes were incredibly tasty, crispy on the outside and soft inside. The roasted cauliflower was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The falafel was packed with flavor and cooked just right, and the chicken shawarma was absolutely delicious. Our server, Lauren, was amazing—friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. The restaurant is charming and beautifully decorated, making for a lovely dining atmosphere. I highly recommend this place for a wonderful meal!

    We appreciated the server's efforts and understanding regarding the service issues we experienced. While our drinks were complimentary at the end of our meal, it would have been great to receive them a bit earlier. We also noticed that the sangria, which was listed on the drinks menu, wasn't available for order. However, the food was fantastic, and we're looking forward to returning!

    Fabulous food. Had a party of 5 and shared the meze platter, which was delicious. Between the 5 of us, we had shwarma, Athenian chicken, falafel, and pancakes. Everything was wonderful. Service was quick, friendly, and helpful. Will definitely be back!
