Their Chicken Souvlaki and Lamb Souvlaki are equally renowned—marinated kebab-style meats grilled to juicy perfection and served in pita with all the authentic trimmings.
Beyond gyros, the restaurant offers charbroiled kebabs paired with fragrant rice crowned with feta cheese, Greek fries laced with feta, and a Greek bowl featuring crispy calamari that adds a wonderful texture contrast.

Dessert here is no afterthought, with traditional baklava offering honeyed layers of flaky pastry and nuts, and the risogalo rice pudding delivering creamy, comforting sweetness to round out the meal beautifully.
While some have noted that certain items like falafel and hummus fall short of the same excellence as the meat dishes, the overall experience remains highly satisfying especially for gyro and souvlaki aficionados. Portions are generous, the flavors vibrant, and the quality consistent, making Niko’s a dependable destination for those craving a genuine Greek culinary escape in Magnolia.
In essence, Niko's Gyros Magnolia doesn’t just serve food — it crafts an authentic Mediterranean experience where every dish tells a story of heritage and passion.

Love this place. My go-to spot in Magnolia and for Greek food. Great service every time I am there. Usually go with the Magnolia Village plate with fries, but have tried most of the menu and have never been let down.
Very friendly staff and delicious food. A real family run restaurant.
Love the chicken souvlaki sandwich … it’s my go to lunch/dinner on the go in town. The other things I have tried are not as good, but the souvlaki keeps me coming back.
I tried the Specialty Plate with falafel. It's a large plate with a fresh and crispy greek salad with premium ingredients. A side of warm pita with a delicious tzatziki. The falafel on the other side is not great. It was dry and flavorless, and the hummus was very simple, almost watery. It's a little bit expensive, like every other restaurant in town.
We stop by after Farmer's Market and got a great meal here. The kababs (souvlaki) were delightful and came with rice covered with feta cheese. Each dish also came with a large salad that everyone at the table enjoyed. Staff was friendly and welcoming. This is a perfect place for a large gathering or family.
Niko's is our favorite Greek restaurant by far. Their gyros are the best, and their Greek fries are perfectly crispy and seasoned amazingly. Their tzatziki is superior. The outdoor seating is lovely, as is the indoor seating. The restaurant has a beautiful interior, very kind staff and amazing service.
Bustling Greek restaurant. I was very impressed with the size and quality of their spanakopita.
