Niko's Greek Gyros and Subs--something a little different to enjoy

Niko's Greek Gyros and Subs has been around for quite a while in Abilene. I have eaten there several times. It is located in the shopping center that is on the corner of Ridgemont and Rebecca Ln. 

The place is family-owned so you are eating local when you go there and they deserve our support.

Chicken gyro and fries

I often suggest it to friends who need to avoid gluten because you can get salads, falafels, and fresh hummus there. I am also unaware of any place in town that currenty serves dolmas (stuffed grape leaves). 

Service was friendly and expedient. Order at the counter, and they will bring it out. The place was very clean.

In the past, I have had both the traditional meat combo of lamb and beef and the chicken for a gyro. The chicken is well-seasoned but a bit dry, probably because of the cooking method since it sears the skin on the meat. The lamb/beef is also tasty and is more tender. Either option will give you more than enough for a meal. I usually eat half and have the other half later. 

The tzatziki sauce is house-made with sour cream or very thick yogurt, cucumber, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice with dill.  I think the herb I was tasting was dill. It is a great compliment to the meat.

Recently, I ordered the special which was a gyro, fries, and a drink for $12.00. I did get an extra side of tzatziki sauce for the fries and an additional drink for my mom but the total was still very reasonable. The vegetables on the sandwich were fresh. I am a very big fan of the seasoned fries and the falafels as well. The only time I have ever been disappoionted there was when my fries did not come out hot once. 

Do not miss the baklava for dessert but there are other options as well, such as cheesecake. 

While we were eating in, I noticed people who had called in an order for pick-up but several others were eating in the restaurant on a Saturday at lunch time. 

I highly recommend you give Niko's a try, especially when you want something a bit different than the usuals in Abilene.
