Niko Niko’s on Montrose Boulevard has been a Houston institution since Niko Pappas opened it in 1977, serving Greek food to a city that didn’t know it needed a neighborhood Greek restaurant until it had one. It appeared in Season 7, Episode 7 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “You Can Say That Again,” which aired October 5, 2009. Guy Fieri found house-made gyros, spanakopita, and the full Greek comfort food catalog executed with the consistency that earns almost 50 years of loyal regulars. The restaurant has become a Montrose neighborhood anchor and one of Houston’s most recognizable dining institutions.
