They forgot the fries for our order but immediately and kindly remedied the situation. Great service. Spicy feta dip was amazing. Recommend chicken stick!! We walked one block over to the park and had a lovely picnic by the water 😋

The pork gyro is mouth-watering. Perfect crisp and seasoning. Platter was huge and a great value. The Greek salad was also excellent. Highly recommend making a trip to come here

The food was delicious. I grew up in Astoria so I know my Greek food! The service was exemplary! We were so surprised that we didn’t have to wait long for our meal and it was so fresh and so savory! The owner introduced himself and he’s really very kind. This is just what we needed on a Friday night in Astoria—delicious Greek food! We also ordered bifteki and pork skewers but forgot to take pictures because we ate them so quickly! The tzatziki tasted like it was homemade. A really great all round experience! You have to visit!

Stop what you’re doing… come here and eat! This place is superbly clean, the staff is really friendly and welcoming. The portion sizes are insane. This is the best price point for the amount of food you get. They have the best lunch special in town. You can eat like a king here and get welcomed like one too. I will definitely return.

My friends and I came to NY from MA for the weekend. Our heritage being Greek, we wanted to come to Astoria to feel a little at home. We stopped at Niko’s Souvlaki after it being recommended the best gyro in the area. The recommendation was not wrong. We ordered several appetizers, souvlakia, gyros, and gyro platters. Everything was so delicious and authentic; better than anything we’ve had in MA and even from some places in Greece. The space was nice and cozy. Our waiter (possibly Niko?) was super friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Niko’s Souvlaki if you’re in the area and looking for an authentic Greek meal!

Stopped by with my wife after picking up 5 barrels of extra virgin olive oil shipped from Greece. Niko our host was gracious and quite efficient, we ordered 2 yeeros and a horiatiko salad. We were in Greece this summer and these yeeros were equal if not better, they didn't have as much h meat as Greece but they were seasoned much better and the tzatziki was the best I've ever had and this is coming from someone that had 4 restaurants. We also had the horiatiko salad which was filled with fresh crispy vegetables but no extra virgin olive oil like Greece and a very small sliver of feta, for the money triple the feta and use extra virgin olive and some fresh bread. But overall Bravo sas

This spot is a hidden gem in Astoria the dishes are amazing the meats are well seasoned and have a great flavor. The veggies are grilled perfect with hints of spices. The Greek salad was delicious the feta cheese was so tasty. The lemon potatoes where amazing. Now if you want to sample all the delicious proteins try the Small mix Grill a plate of meat seasoned to perfection grilled and layed on some seasoned pita bread with grilled veggies and delicious red onions. The plate is for about 3or 4 people and it really comes loaded. Chase that down with a ICE COLD MYTHOS BEER. The sauces are great there a Greek spicy cheese sauce, nikos sauce,Tzatziki sauce for dipping all your choices of meats. Service was Great portions where Generous as well. Lots of leftover food for the road. Stop in and enjoy the food and the calm quite ambiance.

I’ve been coming here since it first opened. This is by far the BEST Greek souvlaki and gyro spot in Astoria. It’s 100% on the authenticity scale. Even the pita bread they use is imported directly from Greece. And if you are a Greek American like me you know the difference between Greek pita from America and actual Greek pita from Greece. The owner Niko is also extremely hands on and he’s always sure to introduce himself while also working the store. The hospitality, the embrace of the community and the attention to detail and quality is something they have mastered. Some of their highlights are the pork souvlaki sticks, the gyro, the lamb chops and their classic cabbage salad. And don’t skip on their portokalopita (orange sponge cake).

Niko's Souvlaki is an excellent place serving original Greek gyros! Service is very friendly and Nikos (the owner) is kind and warm! Their portions are very big and everything we tasted reminds original Greek flavors. I grew up in Greece and I've been in the U.S. for 3 years, but I've never tasted such an amazing homemade gyros and fresh, pure ingredients anywhere else in Souvlaki stores in the states. They even make homemade gyros which doesn't happen even in stores in Greece. I've had "Skepasti" and "Tzatziki" and they're solid! I hugely recommend this place if you want to taste traditional Greek flavors in low prices. Great value for money!

Niko is the best. We had lunch here last Sunday and ordered the Mixed spreads (lots of pita and 3 incredible dipping options) + the Big Mixed Grill Platter for our group of 4. We also added a carafe of white wine since it was raining out and you know...sunday funday. The portions are great and evey meat in the platter was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend your crew try that combo!

Best souvlaki in NY city. Authentic taste, great quality and decent portions. Niko, the owner and his brother are really nice and friendly guys running a great business. Keep up the good work guys!

Janet

We loved the decor and the service was excellent! Highly recommend the small platter ($70 order). Would definitely come back here again!

I dropped in after visiting a few friends in the neighborhood. The restaurant is in a desirable area, with plenty of outdoor seating. The owner/manager was a gentleman who greeted me upon arrival and was tentative. I very much enjoyed chicken souvlaki with a scrumptious salad that was popping with freshness and flavor. The inside dining area was cozy and promoted an excellent experience. I would highly recommend this eatery. Enjoy.

Strolling past Niko Souvlaki on a casual evening wander, I didn’t expect to stumble into a culinary Greek hug—but that’s exactly what happened. This spot doesn’t whisper “maybe try me”, it shouts “you’re gonna want me.” I ordered the chicken souvlaki platter on a whim, expecting something modest. Instead, I was handed a dish so generously portioned it looked like it was cooked by a Greek grandma with strong opinions about portion control. And let me tell you—every bite slapped. Succulent chicken, vibrant sides, and just the right seasoning to make your taste buds throw a plate-smashing celebration. Not only did it satisfy a craving, it left me planning my next Mediterranean detour. If you’re in the mood for hearty comfort food that’s equal parts flavor and generosity, this is the spot.

The pork gyro tasted like fish, more so at the end of the gyro, which, to me, could mean the cook stuffed the cross contaminated/bad quality meat in the back to try to hide it. Otherwise, the place was alright! Service was great. Atmosphere is decent. But the food was mediocre enough where I felt like mentioning it. Paid $12 for a pork gyro/soda lunch combo.
