    Chicken kabob
    Adrianna S.

    Yummy strikes again! Heart-warming, taste-bud satisfying meals remind me of a lovingly-cooked meal from a Mediterranean home. Chicken kabob was delicious, as were all the tasty sides. The owner has a warm smile and kindly attends to all patrons, always with a warm spot of tea! My go-to for delicious weekday fast meal!

    In the midst of planning a work holiday party, we weren't quite sure what to order for catering. A friend of mine kept seeing this restaurant pop up on the Memorial FB page as a must try and so we decided to give it a go! We stopped in for lunch one day and got the chicken and lamb shawarmas which came with a side of fries and some hummus. As we waited for our food, I could tell that this was a family owned business and I believe the whole family was in there working! We had a little bit of a wait bc we came in behind a large group, which I knew that meant it had to be good, but the owner and I believe his daughter were so sweet, and apologized for the wait! The wait was worth it! The food was so delicious and well flavored. I loved my chicken shawarma and the sauce they had on there with the pickles! The fries were seasoned and nicely crisp, and the hummus had a smooth texture to it. I personally love a red bell pepper hummus, so I'd love if they could offer more flavors in the future. My friend also let me try her lamb and it was delicious as well, thinly shaven meat and it just melted in my mouth! We decided that this would be the place we'd use for our catering. The owner was so helpful and gracious! We ordered for 30 people so he made recommendations on what to get, we went with the chicken, beef and lamb shawarma and falafel as well with a salad and hummus with pita! There was a lot of food and everyone really enjoyed it. The food was packed in time for our pickup and just hearing how grateful the owner was just made our day and our tummies!!

    Mixed Grill Platter - Takeout

    Everything tasted great! I ordered take out with DoorDash. The food was prepared on time and properly. Big fan of the lamb kabab and grilled chicken kabab.

    1/2 Chicken Platter with Lentil Soup

    Quiet Mediterranean cafe. Dropped by during lunch hour and received quick efficient service. While I got my meal as take out, the meals coming out of the kitchen were well presented with amazing aromas filling the cafe. The lentil soup was smooth and well seasoned. The chicken was juicy and the hummus was creamy. Definitely recommend.

    5 stars!! Really delicious food and super friendly staff. Left feeling super stuffed. A must visit if you like Mediterranean food!

    Really good chicken shawarma and presentation. It's small but it's family owned and you can tell they happy to serve.

    Really nice local little restaurant. The lamb was superbly cooked!! The gyro sandwich was so full of flavor. Rice was really nicely cooked! The staff is really lovely and we ended the meal with a beautiful cup of tea. Will be back. Everything looked and tasted good!

    I felt like I was having an authentic dining experience. The server/chef/owner brought out tea after we sat down. After looking over the menu we went up to the counter and ordered. The food came out hot and delicious. The meats were well seasoned and ideal cooked. The pita was thin and warm. The hummus was flavorful and the helpings were sufficient for the price. The service was attentive and friendly. A smile goes a long way. The selling lot can get fill as it shares it with other restaurants and retail stores in this strip mall. The restaurant was clean and well kept. It felt inviting and felt like an authentic cafe. I liked it and would go back again.

All dinners come with a Greek garlic bread starter. I love their iced tea- fresh brewed and always good! The wine is Greek and seems a small bit pricey, but for the extra dollar or two it's worth it- Very delicious. Anything you get at Athena's is amazing so feel free to branch out on your choice. And the desserts are large and homemade! It's hard to save room though. You'll love the fish, steaks, and kebabs. They do a nice lunch sandwich- and still comes with the bread and a Greek salad. If you come on a weekend evening, you may run into the owner having the time of her life! And they take pride in serving the most sweet and ripe slice of melon with every dish. Started to enjoy this first each time I come. It is that delicious, but why can't I find fruit like that anywhere at a grocery store? Give this place a try. Yummy. Officially the authentic Greek restaurant without going overboard. Wait- the homemade 3 layer chocolate cake and the lemon cake! Actually bought a whole one for a large birthday party and everyone wanted to know the bakery name- just Athena's homemade cake! Remember, Greek food is fresh with best ingredients. Service is above that notch and family atmosphere with Greek music- always. But I do find I'm stopping in there solo all the time; others too! Say hello to Maria when you go, she loves to talk to her clients!

When the entree arrived I thought the lamb shank looked small. Taste wise it was good but I have had better. Also the potatoes were as advertised however their appearance and taste to me was average. If I ordered this meal again I would order another side dish perhaps the rice. This meal was a 3.5. Another visit was for dinner was to try the Kokkinisto entree for $21. Again this meal comes with the same enjoyable side salad with bread and I chose the Briami as the supplied side dish. The Kokkinisto (Greek beef stew) arrived on a bed of rice and covered in its herbed tomato sauce with garlic and onions. The Briami was in a separate bowl of stewed veggies in a light tomato sauce. I liked this meal better. The stew had good flavor with tender beef and a tasty red sauce. Also the veggies were good tasting too. I gave this meal a 4. Finally the waitress was very friendly. I believe her name was Jennifer? I like this restaurant and believe they serve good tasting and authentic Greek food.

    If you've lived in Houston long enough, you know that Montrose has its icons -- and Niko Niko's is…read moreone of the originals. Established back in 1977, this Greek café has grown from a humble walk‑up window into a full‑fledged neighborhood institution, beloved for its hearty Mediterranean comfort food and lively, come‑as‑you‑are atmosphere. The Montrose location stays bustling from lunch through late night, drawing in everyone from families to night‑owls to longtime regulars who've been coming here for decades. What keeps people returning is simple: the food hits. Diners consistently praise the authentic Greek flavors, especially the gyro plates -- a blend of beef and lamb shaved from the spit, tucked into warm, fresh pita, and finished with cool, garlicky tzatziki. Portions are generous without being sloppy, and the pricing stays reasonable, making it one of the best value spots in the neighborhood. Your gyro arrives stacked, your fries come hot, and your plate feels like it was built by someone who actually wants you to leave full. The menu is huge, but the classics shine brightest. The Greek salad is crisp and refreshing, loaded with feta, olives, tomatoes, and their famous dressing. Service here is fast, friendly, and efficient -- the kind of counter‑style operation where the staff keeps things moving without losing the warmth that makes the place feel welcoming. Guests frequently mention how upbeat and helpful the team is, even during rush hours. The vibe is lively but never chaotic: families grabbing dinner, couples sharing mezze plates, and regulars chatting with staff like old friends. It's casual, energetic, and unmistakably Montrose. One thing that sets Niko Niko's apart is its deep Houston history. The Fetokakis family has run the restaurant for nearly half a century, maintaining a strong work ethic and a commitment to quality that helped the café earn multiple Houston Press awards over the years -- from Best Pork Chops to Best Family‑Owned Restaurant. Even as the city has changed around it, Niko Niko's has stayed true to its roots: hearty food, Greek hospitality, and a community‑driven spirit. Whether you're grabbing a quick gyro, sitting down for a full spread, or stopping by for dessert after a night out, Niko Niko's delivers exactly what a neighborhood staple should: great food, great value, and a welcoming atmosphere. The flavors are bold, the portions are generous, and the experience feels like Houston -- diverse, warm, and full of character. If you're in Montrose and craving Greek comfort done right, this spot remains one of the city's most reliable pleasures.

    I've always known this as a Houston classic! My mom used to take me here as a kid, and I finally…read moregot the chance to come back after many years. First, the inside still looks the same and has that nostalgic look from years ago with plenty of seating. Service is quick: you order at the counter, they give you a coaster, you pick up your food. I haven't been here in a while so I'm unsure if the meat was supposed to be lukewarm - leaning cold, but nonetheless the food still tasted good!
