   Nikki Greek Bistro & Lounge was simply one of the most strange dining experiences I have had in my life. I was looking forward to the opportunity to support a new restaurant, but was met with an impromptu performance by a performer, who the staff described as a “belly dancer,” and obscurely loud music in the middle of our meal. To clarify - I wouldn’t classify anything as lewd or inappropriate, but just unexpected. The food was truly fantastic - but I wish the restaurant would have made our party aware of the extra entertainment we should expect. At a time where our party was looking forward to enjoying a time and opportunity to connect with each other, we found ourselves begging to end our meal as the ambiance turned into an unexpected front row seat to something we didn’t expect. For some, this experience may be desirable. The food was great, while the service was of high quality, it was evident that the staff were under water. We were blown away by the food, but from an operational standpoint, Nikki has a bit of refinement to achieve its full potential, in our opinion.

   The waitress was nice but we kept getting each others meals. The food was overpriced, overrated, etc… I honestly feel like they tried too hard on the food. We also had a long wait time for meals to come out. Spending over $500 was not worth it. The desert was not good either. Don’t think I’ll be back. ***Added- No my total was over $500, I didn’t have a choice on the amount to tip because it was already included it even though service was not great. The waitress was nice but I wouldn’t have tipped in excess for that type of service. Additionally I was charged twice and now have to wait for one of the transactions to hopefully fall off.

   First of all Ruby we want to thank you and your 6 other guests for joining us. Although us "trying too hard on our food" regretfully was not to your liking we take pride in everything being farm to table, meats imported from around the world and fish flown in from the Mediterranean. We understand that Greek Cuisine is not for everyone. As far as overpriced, $389 was the total of your receipt for seven people. The rest was tax and gratuity which, again we appreciate. We are very competitive, for top quality sourced ingredients but again, we understand it is not for everyone. Thank you for joining us and we wish you a wonderful week.

   Hidden Gem. Great food, great food, different rooms for different vibes and experience. Baklava martini was phenomenal. The components for my octopus starter were well incorporated. Scallops were amazing. There is something for everyone whether lounge experience, family dinner, date night. Will be back for some power lunches and happy hour!

   Amazing service and the best Greek food we have had in Dallas. If you like meat, the meat plate, that has a little bit of everything, is the way to go!

   Nestled in an intimate setting, Nikki Greek Bistro & Lounge offers a sultry yet inviting atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed evening out. The lounge exudes a chill, sophisticated vibe—ideal for unwinding with a cocktail in hand. We started with two cocktails, which were expertly crafted and delicious. For appetizers, we opted for the meatballs, which, while flavorful, were slightly dry and overcooked. The main event was the seafood platter, featuring the fish of the day (Branzino), shrimp, Greek potatoes, and scallops as a substitute for octopus. Unfortunately, the seafood was overcooked across the board—the Branzino, which should have been flaky and delicate, was instead crispy, dry, and slightly chewy, and the shrimp and scallops suffered the same fate. Surprisingly, the highlight of the dish was the Greek potatoes, which were perfectly seasoned and tender. While the ambiance and drinks were spot on, the execution of the food—especially the seafood—was a bit disappointing. With some refinement in the kitchen, this spot has the potential to be a go-to destination for Greek-inspired dining.

    Back room is loud! Food was good. Service was fast but not very informative. Grilled octopus was delicious. Supposedly catch of the day was halibut but was a much thinner fish.
