A huge fan of Greek food, I was treated to a surprise birthday lunch at Nikos (Durban North). Management allowed us to decorate the space for my birthday and went the extra mile by giving me a complimentary cake complete with sparklers. Love how they sing happy birthday as well. Great atmosphere all round!!!! Absolutely memorable! This restaurant offers a varied menu and passionate staff. The décor makes you feel like you're actually in Greece and screams glammed up Greek atmosphere. The food is all very good, some of it is so good, in fact, that I wasn't too keen on sharing with my family. The Plated Chicken Souvlaki is served with hand-cut chips, tomatoes and homemade tzatziki and is my all time favourite. Let’s not forget that the humble pita bread is also homemade, and it’s all the better for it. Looking forward to returning for authentic Greek cuisine.

Once you try it, you'll definitely be back for more! The grilled chops are a good choice!

Laid-back, sunny Taverna The new kid in town (June 2017) is the Nikos coalgrill Greek restaurant in the heart of busy Durban North. It has added a bright and inviting venue to the plethora of eating places surrounding it, but the crowded tables indicate how inviting Nikos really is. The place buzzes from lunchtime to evenings, and the menu offers excellent Greek dishes that truly satisfy. The souvlaki choices are popular pullers, and my skewers of chicken (beef fillet, pork, lamb falafel and chickpea are. alternatives) were tender and succulent, and came accompanied by great chips and a choice of dips(hummus, Tahina, Tzatziki, all) adding zest to a very filling dish. The fried brinjal stack , topped with crumbled feta was another pleaser, and the menu offers a further range of meat dishes, equally tempting, such as skinny lamb chops, coal-grilled pork chops, and mixed pork and beef mince patties. There is a good selection of starters and side dishes, and the sweet Greek section of the menu offers Halva icecream, Pavlova , Karathopita and Corrugated Baklava that will light up the faces of any Greek food lover. An informal, comfortable place to add smiles to those seen at all the tables.
