Our first time dining at Nikos and it did not disappoint! Our server Mirna explained the menu and she made some recommendations which we really appreciated. She was top notch server and she was very attentive. The branzino and lamb kafta was delicious! The restaurant was lively but not too loud. Our table was cozy and we really loved the entire vibe as well as the seating. We are so happy to have a Michelin restaurant in Durham and we now understand! We made a reservation to come back again for my birthday.

The Union Sourdough Bread was one of the best parts of the meal! Do it! The Crispy Calamari was a nice twist on an old favorite. The Haloumi Lettuce Boats were light and crunchy. The Short Ribs Pastitsio was a little light on the “Rib” but still very good. While good, the Truffle Ricotta Gnocchi was not the best. Too much salt and the gnocchi was a bit tough for our taste. Excellent wine and the service was fairly good.

Visited this place after getting off a plane from Hawaii! Wow, amazing flavors and great good! We started with a shared meze platter. I recommend the beets and hummus for a tasty start. I ordered the octopus and really appreciated how the grilled and charred style elevated the taste of the dish! Highly recommend the banana baklava to end your night. All the drinks were great!
Also, best service from Mirna! She gave the best recs and we ordered everything she recommended. Thanks for making our experience great!

Our wait staff was Ah-amazing! The food was delicious, I had the hanger steak- 100% fabulous, though if you want more than just steak I’d add a side. My husband ordered the lamb, tasty and flavorful, unlike the steak, needed a little bit more protein to the meal but the sides were much better balanced. Only real downfall was feeling a little too close to the next table. Overall highly suggest this restaurant for a fun date night or even family night with older kids.

We had an outstanding meal here on a Sunday night. We arrived early in the evening to a small crowd but by the time we left the dining area was full. Everything was prepared to perfection, the food was fresh, and the spices and flavors used in all the dishes were tasty, well balanced, and inventive without being overpowering. The Branzino and Byzantine Chicken were excellent, as was the Spanakopita and even the salad. The banana walnut baklava dessert was outstanding. With each course our expectations, which were high to begin with, were exceeded. On top of that, the service was excellent; friendly, personable, helpful, and attentive throughout the evening. This was our first visit but definitely not our last.

This place is adorable inside and our waiter was very kind. The food is also good! But if you’re gluten free, you should go elsewhere. Their menu changed recently and less items are gluten free. As of writing this, their website menu is NOT up to date on what is available to eat. I’ll add menu photos here for what’s actually still gluten free. My main gripe is that the “spreads” section comes with bread to dip on the hummus/whatever you buy. You can’t substitute vegetables for bread. You have to have the bread and pay $11 for some carrots, bell pepper, and cucumbers to dip on the hummus. You pay $60 for 5 spreads and you can’t get a free bell pepper? There are better, less expensive, more accommodating gluten free options.

My family hail from Εὔβοια on my mother’s side and I have eaten homemade traditional food in Greece many times so I feel like I came into this dining experience with high expectations and Nikos did not disappoint! My parents and I shared the matbucha eggplant spread, zucchini cakes, horiatiki, lemon potatoes, short ribs pastitsio, truffle ricotta gnocchi, and salted caramel tahini tart for dessert. Nikos excels at creating elevated versions of traditional Greek cuisine. By that I mean if you are expecting carbon copies of what is served in Greece or what your yiayia makes for you, you might be a little disappointed – Nikos utilizes the same base ingredients, flavor profiles, and ethos of Greek dining, but they put a slight twist on it that, for me, worked well in every dish! I HIGHLY recommend ordering the pastitsio (the béchamel is to die for). I appreciate the effort that went into mimicking the look and feel (though again, slightly elevated) of a Greek taverna inside the restaurant. The only changes that I would make are adding some Greek music to the playlist and having complimentary tzatziki at every table. I will definitely be returning to try the moussaka! 10/10 recommend – καλή όρεξη!!!

I love this place. I’ve visited three times with my husband and sister.
The interior is cozy and beautiful, and it has a Greek vibe overall.
If you’re looking for good hummus, I’d definitely recommend theirs.
The crispy calamari was actually crispy and had a nice amount of squid inside.
I also enjoyed the gnocchi.

My friend and I had dinner here to wish her a happy birthday. I’m glad we told Niko who served us about this. He was very welcoming, the food was delicious and everyone was very nice. We didn’t realize they even surprised us with a birthday song which was really nice, even when it was close to their end of the day.
Overall, it is a great place to celebrate some holidays and if you like the original taste of the ingredients, Greek food is a great choice!! Really recommend:)
