I had a fantastic experience at Nikos! The zucchini cakes were incredibly tasty, crispy on the outside and soft inside. The roasted cauliflower was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The falafel was packed with flavor and cooked just right, and the chicken shawarma was absolutely delicious. Our server, Lauren, was amazing—friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. The restaurant is charming and beautifully decorated, making for a lovely dining atmosphere. I highly recommend this place for a wonderful meal!

My wife and I treated our older son, Dr. Thompson, and his twins (girl and boy!) to lunch there today for their, the twins, 19th birthday. We had eaten there several tines in the past as our daughter graduated from Duke, and we always enjoyed eating there. We have always been very pleased there!!

This is a restaurant that I keep coming back to. The food is amazing, cocktails are well thought out and the staff and management are brilliant. It is so well run and It is rare you get all of these together with great ambience.

First time visit. Terrific pasta, cooked and seasoned to perfection. Try the white ragu and anything with the tajarin-style pasta. Creative cocktails. Cool vibe. Impeccable service. We will return!

This cafe is a great little find at the Nasher. Been here a handful of times for lunch. It’s always busy, well executed inventive menu. Had the Vanilla matcha tea with Oat milk- very good. Panini with turkey,cucumbers, carmélized onions and quinoa salad was a great choice. My friend had the goat cheese BLT minus the tomato along with an aioli sauce; basil pesto pasta salad. She said it was very good. I would definitely return for an evening meal with wine. The museum cafe is worthwhile to visit. Even on a weekend while visiting.
