Nikos Greek Gyros — Restaurant in Abilene

Closed on Mondays.

Nikos is geared towards pleasing a large, hungry working crowd. They knock it out of the park on almost every level when you consider that. I love it! Its a grab a big ol hot gyro and go type place. Perfect for lunch! Quality is at the higher end of average and portions are large. Its a great value. I highly recommend their combo plate.

Some need to manage their expectations.. No, its not a 5 star fine dining authentic Greek experience where the food is just overflowing with complex, fancy flavors and scratch sauces. At under $10 for a huge gyro with fries and a drink why would you expect that?? Where else can you get this kind of a meal for the price? I'll wait.. Please understand business. Its not fair to say the food is flavorless either because that is simply untrue. I wonder if the people saying that have actually eaten true unseasoned meat? Could they jazz up the tatziki sauce? Sure. Is the chicken sometimes a bit over done? Yeah, but Ive noticed improvement. If youre not happy give them a chance to fix it before ranting. I cant say I've ever had an issue with my order,, but if I did I have full confidence the owner wouldnt hesitate to fix it probably with no questions asked.

Nikos has remained CONSISTENT for such a long period of time. I believe this is what really makes them shine. They've never dramatically raised prices as most restaurants do after a while... the quality of the ingredients hasn't changed.. no drastic changes to hours... plus the owner is both very hardworking and friendly. He and his wife work ALL the hours the place is open. Give them some credit! Ive been coming in for years and we always chat. For what it is, Nikos is a...

What bummer - SO disappointing! All the good reviews set my expectations too high apparently. We've never had Greek food with so little flavor. We almost thought we had covid and lost our sense of taste again! But, no. My husband and I both got the gyro, fries, and drink special. The fries were very good and the best part of the meal. The gyro had almost zero flavor! The meat was virtually tasteless. The pita was completely tasteless, and the edges of mine were all hard, so I had to tear them off. However, the tzatziki "sauce" was the absolute WORST. It had the consistency of thick sour cream, but was mostly yogurt with a few little pieces of cucumber (I think) in it. No dill, no mint, no garlic, no FLAVOR. The gyro had some very bitter red onion pieces, a few pieces of tomato, the meat, and some yogurt (I refuse to call it tzatziki). It didn't even have a crumble of feta! We were visiting Abilene from Odessa, and really hoped to get some good Greek food, as our Greek restaurant in Odessa closed. All we learned is that Nikos, while extremely friendly, was either having a very bad day, or Abileners have no idea what good...

WOW. This Place is Authentic with Amazing quality.

The prices are VERY good.

Jimmy is a great character, friendly and positive energy and he did an amazing job on every dish he prepared for us.

I ordered the traditional Gyro AND the Supreme gyro. Big mistake. I should have only ordered one, because these things were huge!!! The pita bread was fresh, the meat portions were seasoned perfectly and very good, the cucumbers and tomatoes were hand cut chunky style (very nice) and the tzatziki sauce was refreshing.

My sister and her friend ordered the Gyro platter. Another great dish.

We finally topped it off with some of their fresh handmade baklava. Mmmm. Very Good.

This is a MUST TRY during your stay in Abilene, or if you live here. I was only in Abilene for 1 day and chose this place to eat over all other places. Was not disappointed.
