We come here for sit-down or take out once every few months. The food is always excellent. I love their baklava. Their gyro meal open faced is what I usually get, with a side salad and greek fries. It's so much food. If I order that and a side of hummus and pita, it can feed 3 people. The value is good and the food is delicious. I'm sad that they closed completely (hopefully temporarily) due to COVID. I hope they open up for takeout soon. read more

We're regulars at Niko's. The beef souvlaki salad and grilled pork chops are our favorites. The lemon soup is also a frequent go to for us. Service is fast and accurate and you can call in your order. Some day we'll have to explore more of the menu. read more

Always delicious and quick. Friendly folks. Gyros sandwich was delicious. A Favorite Seattle spot.

Fantastic place to eat... so good! The staff are friendly and the food is very, very good! It's a neighborhood favorite!

I've found that most Greek places use the same standard meat, but there's something about the way Niko's puts effort into everything else in the gyro that makes this my favorite place in Seattle. Ask for the vinegrette when you go and put that shit on everything read more

Great neighborhood place. It is an institution in magnolia. But I do have one complaint, the Greek fries aren't what they use to be. Something is missing. read more

Magnolia institution and family owned Greek restaurant preparing excellent food for anything Greek for more than two decades. Efficient, friendly and fast order taking to service. Indoor and outdoor seating depending on the weather. Salads, falafels, eggplant, keftedes, loukaniko, souvlaki, gyros, kabobs, mousakas, kalamari, pastitsio, fries, tatziki, hummus, pita, and baklava. Whatever your craving is, they cook best Greek food in the vicinity. Lunch, snack or dinner, they got variety of options for the Greek in you. read more

need a great grab and go place? this is your place to go! tasty roasted lamb or lamb skewers gyros along with all the basic options sides were affordable esp the three large falafels with hummus pitas were super pillowy soft too and a great option to tale to breweries nearby! read more

Great for take out and definitely a great bang for your buck. You're going to get the quality of a sit down Greek restaurant for the price of $10-$15. My recommendations: - Any of the gyros (Traditional or Pesto are great) - GREEK FRIES Rating this 4/5 stars however because of the service for take out. It's an extremely busy restaurant during rush hours, but it's always hard to get a hold of them. read more

Ordered two chicken gyros. Very skimpy on the meat & sauce, no tomato, pita pocket bread was room temperature, lettuce was romaine stalks (not the leaf part) to make it look bigger. Very disappointing, can't recommend, won't return. read more

Wow, a rare find. Like another reviewer, I walked in without a clue or even how to pronounce gyros (the g is silent I was coached). The special was halibut gyros and boy were they amazing. Lots of fresh fish, Greek spices, served up by kind people. A photo of Grandfather greets you above the door and on the specially bottled (a 90th birthday!) Greek dressing for sale. There are other yummy Greek specialty foods in an adjacent space that you can select and add to your order while you wait- the dried pasta is amazing. You can eat inside or out if you can snag a table at this little gem in the heart of Magnolia. Try it! You won't be disappointed. read more

First time here since visiting from Hawaii. I honestly have never tried Greek or would think about trying it. My family who lives in magnolia come here often and I'm told this place is a favorite in the town. I had a chicken gyro which was simple yet amazingly satisfying with feta cheese and taziki sauce. You have your usual lettuce and tomatoes in A pita bread. The chicken were these interesting patties which tasted great. This seemed like a family owned shop. Would definitely be stopping by next time around. read more

Niko's is the best reason to live in Magnolia! Great food, reasonable prices and really nice folks. We get the char-broiled half-chicken whenever it's on the menu - in fact, we're on a call list for it ;-) Also love the lamb shank, the grilled prawn salad and the avgolemono. Thanks for being here, Niko's! read more

Been here a ton because it's right across the street from my work and it's nice to have a dependable place for a quick and good lunch. I typically get the gyro plate, Greek salad, or the traditional gyro depending on how hungry I am or what I'm feeling and have never had a bad meal. This was my first time getting the lamb burger and I would definitely recommend it. It was juicy and felt like it was made from scratch-not sure though. We also had the gyro salad and it was a nice portion of meat and had fresh lettuce and vegetables. The olives and pepper were also tasty and felt fresh too. In addition to the good food, nikos has a limited but nice outdoor seating area which added to the good experience. It was nice to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine and Main Street part of Magnolia. Finally, the service was great. The employees are always friendly and quick to answer any questions I've had. Would 100% recommend for a quick and satisfying bite to eat! read more

First time visit to this place and it made all my gyro dreams come true. I ordered the traditional gyro, Greek fries, baklava and rice pudding. The gyro was one of the most flavorful ones I've ever had, and their Greek (waffle cut) fries were crisp and expertly seasoned. My kids gobbled them up despite not liking feta cheese in other dishes. Their rice pudding had speckles of citrus zest it in, creamy and delicious. The baklava was small in portion but all the right flavors were there too. read more

Family owned business makes you feel like you're in Greece hidden in the heart of Magnolia. EVERYTHING you get is amazing but my go to for the last 13 years has been Gyro and Greek fries, the dressing on the table goes with Everything! They're never open on Sundays so get there before the lunch rush! read more

Cute and delicious Greek restaurant in Magnolia! This place has irresistable charm to it and it is guaranteed to see happy local people enjoying their foods here. They have plenty of sitting both indoor and outdoor, and the walls are painted in bright blue that screams "Greece!" They use fresh ingridients, and foods taste so delicious! Their original gyro comes with lamb+beef or chicken option, but if you are lucky, you may see halibut gyro on specials menu next to the register. It is crispy,juicy inside, and tender! It tasted a little bit like fish taco, but packed with mediterrinian flavors instead. Pita breads were chewy and tzatki was heavenly. The chicken souvlaki entre came with side of greek salad and pita bread, and halibut gyro came with a choice between rice and fries. The foods come out very quickly, Great for take out as well! Definitely try them if you are in the area! read more

Haven't found better Greek food anywhere in Seattle. Fresh food, great flavor, and an Avgolemono soup that's superb.

I'm so obsessed with this place. I could eat it 3 times a week! They've been doing a great job with COVID precautions. Our go-tos are the greek chicken salad, chicken gyro, and the greek fries are icing on the cake. read more

Still consistent many years later. Amazing! Taste for the Gyros hasn't changed and that is amazing. Great Job Alex!!!! Thanks for always making me feel welcomed! read more

A great Magnolia institution. If you do not believe that statement, then try getting a seat around 5:30 on most week nights. They have their own spin on the traditional Gyros and they're very good. But, the best is their Greek fries served with feta cheese. We realy love this place. Enjoy! read more

This is a low-key Greek place in Magnolia with a few outside picnic tables and plenty of seats inside. The food was flavourful but salty. I ordered the gyro platter and was surprised to see that weirdly shaped pre-sliced meat. I prefer it when it's carved off the slowly rotating shank of pressed meat! I also didn't care for the hummus because it was on the runnier side and too garlicky. And I love garlic! Bathrooms were clean with friendly counter help. I doubt I'd return for their gyros, maybe to give them another chance on some souvlaki or something. Other Yelpers seem to rave about them... Overall the dishes were competently made but I couldn't give four stars because of the liquidy hummus + sausagey slices of gyro. read more

One of the best hole in the wall type places we have been to. You get that home type feel like your mama is cooking for you. Traditional gyro was great! Not over flavored and very fresh produce in it. My wife had the briam and it was great. It is a potato, eggplant and pepper dish with Greek fries. Tons of flavor and the fries seasoning was great. Overall I definitely recommend this place. Great place to get filling food! read more

Lamb gyro was incredibly average. Greek fries were under fried freezer fries with no flavor and barely any feta. The Snapple was good. I walked in there on a weekday evening and the line was basically out the door. I have no idea what for. read more

Nikos Gyros - Eh. Greek fries. - Greek Near Me - Seattle, Washington

There aren't very many good Greek places that I've found in the Seattle area but this place is fantastic. It was recommended to me by a friend and definitely worth a trip to magnolia for. The cafe is small with quite a few tables both inside and outside. It's clean and busy. The menu on the board is clear and the staff expects you to order fast and move on to the next person. There are no fountain drinks, grab from the cooler or grab a pitcher of water nearby. The food is fantastic. It's served quickly from the kitchen you can see. It's fresh tasting and delicious. I had a traditional gyro which is lamb and beef. The pita is soft and the feta fresh. We also ordered fries with feta and they were waffle fries which are arguably the best type of fry. Because I love Greek food I had to try the spanakopita. Delicious!! I will definitely go back when I'm in the neighborhood. Worth a trip for sure!!! read more

My friend and I stopped here on the way to Discovery Park. We hadn't been to either destination before, and we were in for a treat. I love the atmosphere here: the family running the restaurant and the sitting area itself reminded me of My Big Fat Greek Wedding--if not in aesthetics, then in the warm feeling you get when you chow down here. We both got gyros, which were very reasonably priced and portioned for our upcoming hike. The amount of meat in the gyros was a little less than what we're used to in the U-District, but the delicious tzatziki sauce made up for the missing flavor. We smiled to ourselves when a man at the adjacent table introduced "our new au pair from Colombia" to a friend. Oh, Magnolia. If I ever have a chance to come back here, I'm determined to try one of their many delicious-sounding plate dishes. read more

Nikos is a great spot! Some of the best quick and easy Greek in Seattle! Highly recommend the horiatiki salad!! Go if you can!!!

Pretty solid and consistently good Greek food. Portions are healthy and most importantly the food is fresh and very tasty. The place always has a line for a reason but that said, they are quite efficient so the waits are never that long. Definitely a Magnolia gem. read more

So delcious. Came during the lunch rush and the atmosphere was calming. I personally didn't feel rushed. (: Their menu is extensive and even without the table service (you order at the bar and they give you a number to place at your table), it still has class. Will defiantly come back from gyros. :3 read more

Very solid. Owners are great people. Forgot my wallet once and they let me pay next time I was in. Hard to find this type of service these days. read more

So dang good, something I have to eat at least once every time I come home to visit. No other Greek restaurant or fair vendor has gyros anything close to Niko's. Five stars all the way. I always get a chicken gyro with feta. SO GOOD! Hummus/pita plate is very good too, as well as the "greek fries". I'm almost drooling now. Looks like I'll be needing to take a trip home soon. Yum yum! read more

Good restaurant, nothing pretentious, good food. I order often at Niko's and I like I can call in for my order and just show up in 15 min to pick it up. Their food is typical for this type of place. This is not an elegant restaurant if that's what you are looking for. If you eat there the server will bring your order, but that's the end of the "service" part (you get your water for example). This is okay - the place is priced this way (being in Magnolia it is not cheap). It's good if you live in Magnolia being conveniently closed. My kids love the fries and we all like the pita bread with their tzatziki sauce. I'm okay with the gyros: they are good but don't expect to be blown away. Overall this is a good choice for a quick meal. read more

Loved this local take-out. Really tasty gyro. I like that they have Greek food ingredients on hand, as well. I'll get a liter of olive oil next time. read more

I am new to Seattle so not aware of the institutional following of Niko's. I know it is family owned and operated and has been in business for decades but that doesn't sway my review. Niko's offers your average Greek and Mediterranean fare, nothing unique or truly exceptional about it. They have all the staples and have a very warm and busy atmosphere. The food leaves something to be desired and even though I have a few friends that are devoted to the gyro I find the meat quality subpar. Come by if your looks for a bite with a great family tradition to take home but if your looking for a better gyro head over to Ballard. read more

Such a great find! I loved the lamb burger! It has a slice of well seasoned feta cheese. The meat was flavorful & juicy. Also had a hearty lentil soup, which was perfect for such a rainy day. The Gyro is big & juicy as well. I had the Greek wine which paired perfectly with the food. Be aware that the restaurant is small & you order off the menu board. read more

Delicious Greek food in magnolia. We used to frequent the first pace when we lived in the area.

This is a small family restaurant, with great food and a a neighborhood atmosphere. I particularly like the chicken souvlaki platter -- the chicken is juicy and tasty, and the greek fries with feta are what they do best. Traditional gyros are good, as is the avgolemono soup and the baklava. Above all, this is a high quality place for cheap eats. It's also one of the best Greek places in town. It is kid and family friendly, and good for dogs too (a dog water bowl outside, a couple of picnic tables outside too, places to tie up your pet). I go back to Nikos again and again - and we live in Madrona, so it's quite a trip over there. read more

I'll have to echo everyone's voices about this place. I came yesterday when the sun was outside, and it was the perfect day to get a gyro outside. They have outdoor sitting which is great on a warm summery day. I decided to go with the traditional gyro, with feta, and it was delicious. I must say on my first bite, i missed the meat all together, but the balance of veggies, sauce, and feta was amazing. My only regret is that I ate it too quickly. It was not small by any means, but it was just that delicious. Although Magnolia is somewhat far away, It is definitely a treat to come here! read more

A constant favorite for for nearly six years! Nikos always has tasty Greek fare in Seattle's Magnolia neighborhood. Today it was so worth the drive from work in Lynnwood for a late Saturday lunch. Highly recommend the gyros, avgolemeno, souvlaki, spanakopita...actually you could pick just about anything and it will be delicious and satisfying. read more
