    Nikos is a great little trattoria with very good food at reasonable prices. The service that Nicos know what they're doing and are friendly and engaging. A great little spot in Kensington but be sure to make a reservation.

    Niko's Bistro may be our new GO-To date night spot. The service was amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable and quick. The food was amazing, and our night out was good value. We will be back.

    I have not been to Nikos in many years and this visit reminded of how really fine this restaurant is. The colors have changed and the tone is refined. It was my friends birthday and we had a lovely night.

    We were celebrating a Birthday on a Monday night.restaurant was pleasantly full ,but noise level was very comfortable and we were able to comfortably converse. Two veal dishes ..delicious and one pasta meal with sausage . Dishes were generous and quite delicious. Prices were very reasonable considering where prices have risen to at most restaurants. Service was excellent ..only two servers on the floor but service was managed at a comfortable pace. Will definitely go back soon Desserts were delicious particularly the Apple strudel and ice cream
