ONE OF THE TOP 3 GREEK FOOD OPTIONS IN LOUDOUN COUNTY. Over the last year I've sampled about half of Nick's menu and can attest that their Greek fare is solid across the board. If you're a fan of Greek pita sandwiches (e.g., gyros, souvlaki, falafel & shawarma) you won't be disappointed. I recommend upgrading from their fries to their Fettousch salad for an extra dollar! Delicious and healthy. Their hummus is outstanding here. They give you a small portion for free along with their homemade crispy pita chips. If you're a hummus fan I recommend ordering their hummus appetizer with spiced beef. The Greek Spinach Rice (Spanakorizo) entree is a wonderful, flavorful, healthy entree that I like to order to share with others as a side dish. And their Spanakopita is outstanding here if you're a fan of that dish. For dessert, the Galaktoboureko (Greek custard pie) is a wonderful choice that is big enough to share between two people. Give Nicks a try. They are pretty underrated on Yelp and definitely hit above their weight class. read more

This restaurant is one of our absolute favorite local places. The food is always so fresh and delicious, the service is super friendly, atmosphere is casual, and prices are on point. Our boys even love their chicken shawarma. Servers accommodate dietary needs. Highly recommend. read more

Came with family for dinner. Hummus was okay. Baba ghanoush was awesome. Lamb shank was made well but didn't have greek flavors, had normal rice and just tomato base sauce. Same applies to chicken souvlaki; decent to eat but no greek flavors. Overall, decent food but the the greek flavors are missing. read more

Nick's Taverna is incredible. I am a Greek man who loves to cook, so I am naturally critical of Greek food. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed. I ordered a variety of items at Nick's Taverna and brought a few friends to make sure we did not waste food. I feel My favorite items were: the mezze sampler, the mixed sampler, the dip trio. These dishes allowed us to try a variety of food... and, believe me, I was shocked by the quality of the food. I will be returning to Nick's Taverna soon. :) read more

Best Greek food I've had in quite a while. Atmosphere is good and they had a small three piece ensemble playing live music. Food is outstanding. The tabbouleh is great. Gyro was good as well as the other dishes our group tried out. Very reasonably priced too! read more

Nick's is excellent. From the food to the staff. It's also great that they have trivia every Wednesday and music bingo every first Saturday of each month. Definitely recommend! read more

First time dining at Nick's. The service was great. Our server was very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Unfortunately, the food wasn't great though. We ordered the saganaki, which was just warm, not hot. The lamb souvlaki was very over cooked. The meat was tough and rubbery. The pastitio was also just warm. It was good but given that it is a heavy dish, I would imagine it would be served with a light side dish rather than greens beans stewed in a tomato sauce. The portion was pretty large! We may or may not be back for a second visit. read more

The new manager was so rude that they call the police on us just because my kids were playing around. And even after my kids were seating and quiet they called the cops on us and refuse service. I have been coming to this place for over 6 years and I was keep coming because how friendly the staff were. However this new manager was so mean that got me thinking that she didn't like Latinos like us. It's a shame that there is still people who discriminate base on heritage. I am a very proud Latino, law abide citizen, tax payer, home owner, hard worker, family man, Son of God and I will never accept that someone treat me with disrespect. read more

Nick your a hot pick... I was not really craving Greek cuisine while visiting family in VA. It was the cold weather or I was lazy, I'm not sure what it was but when my family mentioned Nick's Taverna and I said meh ok whatever you guys want. Well, I'm glad my family wanted to take me here because everything was impeccable. A. Our server Ryan was great, he explained everything in detail, refilled drinks promptly and explained what could and couldn't be modified since my sister is a picky eater... B. The complimentary hummus was very popular amongst my family . My mom hates hummus but she couldn't stop eating it. It was very addicting and everyone enjoyed it thoroughly. C. So my hubby got the mixed platter with many different kinds of meat cooked to perfection. Of Course, I tried his platter, more than tried but only to make sure it was good for him... My chicken wrap was nicely marinated and not overly saucey to make it soggy. D. Best part I got free dessert (chocolate cake) with checking into yelp. We were stuffed but this really could not be missed. A.B.C.D. Yes you can pick all of the above to make Nick's Taverna you dinner pick. They are open late, I believe 12 or 1 am some nights. Happy Eating.~ read more

After working a bit later than I intended - I ate dinner here this evening. The place was sparsely populated with diners when I walked in - I opted to sit at a high top in the bar area. I was feeling in the mood for something in the Cajun arena - so I was cautiously optimistic when I saw they had fried catfish on the appetizer menu, and Jambalaya as an entree. I ordered both, along with a glass of water and a 14 oz. glass of Dominion Ale. I was pretty disappointed in both dishes - the catfish batter had almost no flavor - thankfully the spicy remoulade they provided masked the lack of any flavor. The Jambalaya was the same way. Very mild - almost no flavor. I added salt, black pepper, and quite a bit of Tabasco Sauce to give it some life. The highlight of the meal? At least the Dominion Ale was predictably refreshing! The service was attentive - no issues there. I want to like this place - it has nice ambiance, and lots of gorgeous, crystal-clear High-Def displays in the Bar area. Might be a good place to come for a few drinks. read more

The customer service at this restaurant is discriminatory. I was in a group of 4 at the restaurant. The waitresses asked everyone at the table if they wanted refills except me. Everyone at my table was white except me. I realize all the patrons were wearing name brand fashion and they look like they had money. If you spend all your money on fashion and lv purses, the chances are they have no money. Mark zuckerberg and bill gates wear very plain clothing because they're not wasting their money on junk fashion. I'm never going to this restuarant again because they only serve white people and people they think have money. It's not worth spending my money here when someone else will give me good customer service. read more

Nick's is a great place! Great food at a reasonable price. The staff is very friendly, as are the clientele. I've eaten here several times and have tried much of what is on their menu and have never been disappointed. If you haven't tried Nick's I highly recommend you do! read more

We had a lovely experience . Service was quick and friendly, actually a tad too quick as our entrees arrived before we were done with our soups. Food was very good and we liked the decor and will most probably come back. read more

I don't try new places enough, but the wife and I wanted some lunch and were walking around and figured, why not Greek? Well, this place was fantastic! The gyro dinner was great, and so were the chips and humus. Seems like a fun place at night too. Staff was super as well. read more

Absolutely love this place! I've had all the chicken platters with green salads and they are great! Fries are tasty! Best Greek place in the area! read more

Great food, great service, usually Can get in easily without reservations! What's not to like?!

It was so so so good I am still drooling thinking about my meal, and leftovers. I will be back soon!

I'd give this a 4.5 if Yelp permitted it. Been going here for nearly 10 years and have never had a bad meal. The consistency of food quality, plus a reasonable pricing policy makes it a place we visit at least twice a month. Their "Shrimp a la Nicks" pasta dish is sinfully good: the Lamb burger is worth driving for, and appetizers are all done well Great place for a good meal. read more

This place is delicious! We ate here (well got takeout due to COVID) and the food was SO GOOD. I always compare Greek to food to what I would get during a Greek festival and this place was pretty damn close! We got spanakopita, chicken avgolemono soup, gyro, and galaktoboureko. The spanakopita was AWESOME. If I had to make one change, I would just want MORE spinach filling! It was so so good! The phyllo was also so crispy on all sides, which is rare to get from a restaurant. The avgo soup was not my favorite, however it is hard to compare to an old Greek man at the Church's recipe. I probably wouldn't order it again, however you can tell the ingredients that were used were high quality. The gyro was also amazing! The tzatziki was delicious. It was a little heavy on the red onion, but we loooove onion so no problem there! We also got fries that were crispy on the outside and mashed potatoey on the inside. To finish the galaktoboureko was doppppppeeeeeeeeeeee. If I had to change anything I'd want it a touch sweeter. Just go here! You won't regret it! read more

Stopped in here recently after finding the place on Yelp. We were quickly seated by a friendly host, and immediately attended to by an even friendlier waiter. The interior decor is modern and well appointed. The bar area was pretty lively with patrons watching football (and cheering their teams). We were pleasantly surprised to see that the menu wasn't just Greek food, but that it also featured Middle Eastern dishes like Shawarma and kebobs. We also were pleased to see several sampler main course dishes that allowed us to try a variety of items. I had a mixed sampler of gyro meat, chicken, and beef. Others had a variety of Shawarmas. All were served with rice, and either a salad or vegetables. We also were served complimentary hummus and chips. Food was excellent all around, especially the salad. Prices were reasonable coming it at around $15-18 an entree. Food delivery was prompt, and wait staff was attentive. I can't really ask for anything more. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommended! read more

I had an early dinner here consisting of lentil soup, a gyro, and the baklava. Everything was AMAZIN! Romeo took care of me, and he couldn't have been more attentive and friendly. It's nice when a bartender asks your name so that he can develop rapport, rather than just write it on your check. First time here and I will definitely be back! read more

My first time at Nick's. The food was fantastic Greek food. Try the spicy feta dip / trust me! The place was beautiful and the service friendly. Especially our server Alison. I'll be back for sure! read more

Went there last night. Food was fabulous. Our server Carlos was great. Will definitely be back and would whole heartedly recommend to others. Thanks for a great time. read more

I went to Nick's Taverna with my wife to meet another couple for dinner. I'd never been there before, but saw they got decent reviews here on Yelp. We were greeted nicely at the door and quickly seated. We ordered a few appetizers and they were quite good, especially the mixed appetizer platter. I ordered the beef shawarma and my wife had the Greek hamburger. Both were exceptional. They far surpassed what I expected. The other couple raves about how good their food was too. They had a Greek hamburger and Gyro respectively. While it was my first time here, it definitely won't be my last. read more

Recently moved to the brambleton area and have visited the blue ridge and businesses alongside but had yet to stop at Nicks. And I wish I had sooner. Drinks pours are decent especially in comparison to the other restaurant/bars. The foood! I ordered the beef kabob entree and was so impressed. What most made me a huge fan of this place was our bartender, Payson. His customer service and how personable and welcoming he was to us was amazing. It was genuinely the reason i was prompted to review Nicks. Look, customer service truly is everything. My meal could have been subpar, but I'd have come back for a few drinks because of his hospitality alone. Fortunately, I'll be coming back for both. Thank you, Payson. You really stood out with your vibrant personality. read more

Describing a Saturday lunch about 1:30pm There was not much of a crowd at Nick's Taverna, which was nice as we looked for a quiet family dinner. Decor is inviting with a cozy fireplace and murals of Greek islands. Our waiter was professional, courteous and prompt. Food was delivered quickly and efficiently. Complimentary hummus with crispy pita chips was delicious as well as zucchini fritters. However, calamari and spanakopita were average at best, compared to other Greek restaurants in the area. Calamari were a bit drier than expected and weirdly served with cocktail sauce (??), while spanakopita didn't have any feta cheese inside. Mousaka was ok. It was served with canned green beans, which was kind of odd for modern restaurant.. read more

Great food, I have been here twice now. Once I ate there and once I got food to go. I love that they have mixed plates so you can try a little bit of everything they have to offer. The staff here is really friendly and they have a great bar area with TVs and live music on some nights. If you like this type of food, this place is worth checking out. read more

Great family friendly spot for a healthy meal. I've taken friend and family here several times and have not been disappointed. The appetizers such as hummus are excellent and have good portion size. I ate salmon last time and it was fresh with tomato. Wine list is also good, I enjoyed a fresh unoaked Chardonnay. read more

Absolutely fantastic meal and server!!! The complimentary pita and hummus were meh, but the beef shawarma and lamb kebab were amazing!!! The fries need some work - some were delish, some soaked in salt. Baklava was a 10!! And our server was so kind with our girls, loved her! Will definitely be back to try more things! read more

Really liked this place. Came here during the snowstorm and it was pretty quiet. They give you free hummus and pita when you sit down. The appetizer platter was good, but the baba ganoush wasnt the best I've had. It was a little too salty. The dolmas were great too! The Greek salad has great big hunks of feta cheese which I love. There is a lot of space and it looks like there is a stage for live music As well. Our server was attentive and when I checked in I got a free dessert on yelp! We shared this cheese custard in flaky crust dessert thing. It was great. Overall good experience and I would be back. read more
