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

Patricia was literally so rude to our table and asked " have you guys ever been to a restaurant " because we got up and walked over to the bar to check their menu. Do better . What type of waitRees says that? 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

Enjoyed the gyro sandwich. Food was seasoned and hot. The place was very clean. Will visit again

I just moved to the area and saw my local people. Thought I would try Greek food that I've been eating my whole life. I ordered to-go and for pick-up. I called and ordered two Gyro Platters that came with fries and salads, as well as, the galaktoboureko desserts that Yelp stated was complimentary as a first-time customer. I ordered over the phone and the guy had attitude, he also stated that he was unaware and has never heard of a free dessert option from Yelp, which I had to pay for. I also pronounced the dessert the way it is said and the guy didn't even know the real name of the Greek dessert they sell. The food was okay. Everything was very dry and salty. I know Greeks love salt and to cook with spices, but my family has operated several restaurants, and I can say this food was not cooked to perfection. If you're looking for fast food type to-go food, order from here. If you want real Greek food, try places like Nostos. read more

Spacious, clean looking, high ceiling, consistent polite and warm ( just enough, not pushy) service with a traditional Greek menu make for a fine dining experience. We've dined here at least 5 or 6 times in the past year and were always satisfied with the quality of the food and the pleasant ambience. We always come at off peak hours so not sure how they handle crowds but certainly recommend considering them as an excellent choice for dinner: very good value for money. read more

My husband and I stopped in to have a couple of adult beverages and some food. The food was excellent but even better than that was our server, Greg! What a great guy :) read more

Love the gyro wrap and the complimentary pita chips and hummus. Just tried their chocolate cake today and OMG amazing! Service is always very friendly and prompt here. Will keep coming back here :) read more

Nick's Taverna - This chocolate cake was absolutely amazing! - Mediterranean Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

Amazing place. Some of the best Mediterranean Greek food you will ever have. The most wonderful kind people work here. It is a smaller establishment, meaning that it is privately owned and 100% not a corporate establishment full of nonsense. Amazing amazing amazing. read more

Wow,that was great. Our waiter was awesome. The food quality was awesome. The dessert was super awesome. Even the bathrooms were clean and neat. I loved it ao much read more

This place has really gone down. The fries taste greasy and not the "good" kind of greasy. The chicken souvlaki has no flavor. The service is slow. This used to be one of our favorite restaurants before we moved out here. We used to drive out 30 minutes to eat at Nick's. Now we live 5 minutes away and never bother to visit. It's sad to see one of your favorites go down. read more

We came here tonight for a casual date night, we got seated immediately and as we looked over the menu we were excited to try the food. After 15 minutes have gone by no one had greeted us or offered any sort of hospitality. It was a very slow night, we walked out very disappointed. We will not be coming back. read more

Enjoyed my evening at Nick's. The mini gyros appetizer was perfect and the flavor outstanding! Allison made me feel comfortable being there by myself, and we shared nice conversation when she wasn't busy. Nice experience and I'll be back! read more

If we can find a place where I actually like Mediterranean food, it's a winner. We were promptly greeted by our server, Ryan, who, throughout the meal was fantastic. He brought us some hummus and chips (much better than the first time we tried it) to start, our drinks, then took our order. We opted to get the zucchini fritters as an appetizer which were very good. Their tzatziki sauce is quite dilly in case not all enjoy that flavor. For our meals, we got one chicken kabob platter and the salmon special. The salmon, as I was told, was delicious with not one piece left on the plate. The chicken was also very good with great flavor. The only complaint I would have would be the rice. It was pretty bland and dry, even with the weird tomato sauce they put on top. Overall, we will be returning. read more

I came here the other day and the "bartender " a young blond woman was so not nice. I don't ever write negative reviews but she was so mad at us being there it was just not a good ambiance. Bars arr supposed to be fun, especially ones that's not so busy read more

Our visit on Saturday was a spur of the moment decision as we were in town. Definitely worth the stop. We were given a free bowl of hummus and hot pita chips as a welcome. The saganaki was excellent basil well as the soujouk which had a nice spicy kick. We finished off with two lamb souvlaki sandwiches. Our server was the best and very attentive. Nick's Taverna will be worth the 35 minute drive back to eat there again. read more

The food was delicious and fresh. We got takeout and live a few miles away but it traveled nicely! We had the mezze sampler and the mixed grill along with the fettoush. All were cooked well, with the meats done just right. Flavorful dips, and we ordered extra pita so we could load the falafel on them with excellent yogurt sauce! Great all-around. read more

Food, staff, and atmosphere are all great. Good place for a happy hour drink and snacks.

Absolutely disappointing. There was not one bit of heart in the meal I just ate. I ordered the chicken kabob which had a small bit of rice with marinara sauce on top. The chicken was DRY and had three measly pieces of charred veggies. Was nothing near of Greek food. read more

This place is in alignment with its mission and execution. Delicious Mediterranean food at a reasonable price with an inviting ambiance. The servers are accommodating and kind even if they're running back and forth from the bar to the patio to keep your drinks full on a hot day and you want everything keto. I've been here many times and will keep coming back when I have a craving for gyro, spicy feta and delicious tzatziki. Its not fine dining but they're not trying to be. They are a family restaurant, I bring my family here and haven't regretted it. read more

So bummed. I was craving Greek food like at the level of Nostos Restaurant in Tysons (or at least close to it), but was very disappointed. I wanted something light given how hot it's been outside so ordered the Horiatiki salad that comes with grape leaves and a side order of Tzaziki with extra pita....$19 later a very disappointed guest. How can you get a salad wrong with grape leaves that had no filling and looked like they had the life sucked out of them bc they were so skinny:(( the Tzaziki was not tzaziki... I believe it had canola oil or some other version of oil on top instead of olive and it just tasted off and didn't have the right consistency. And pita should be pita not Naan bread toasted. Too bad because it would be such a great perk to have a greek restaurant that is credible and not just a name like one reviewer stated. Sadly will not go back. Def over priced for what you get and the quality. read more

Just moved into Brambleton about 3 weeks ago. I love my Mediterranean food and the reviews on yelp looked good. We ordered the Mediterranean pasta, beef shawarma. The food was mediocre at best. Our server - Lena was fantastic which is the only reason why I am giving them 3 stars. Got a free dessert from yelp for checking in. The server didn't know and asked the manager, who came to the table, clicked on the phone and told the server to let them order whatever dessert they want. Never acknowledged yes or asked us how the meal was. Anyways will not be spending money at this restaurant again not planning to go there again. read more

Food is excellent & service is great! Hummus as a starter is some of the best I've ever had & is served with freshly fried crisps. I had chicken kabob entree and the chicken was so juicy, the rice cooked perfectly and tzatziki was so good you could eat it alone! We dipped extra pita bread in it. Husband got the Pastitsio which is like a Mediterranean lasagna and was INCREDIBLE. It was served with a green bean with red sauce dish that I fought him over. We ordered a hummus to go since we couldn't get enough. We look forward to making this a weekly spot and hope they stick around...they do it right and everyone is super friendly, fast & helpful! read more

Hey, Nick, get your Greek on! Until you do, OXI ! I won't be back! This place is just another one of the sad Greek in name only- restaurants in this area. I don't understand the Greek restaurants here that lessen the Greekness of their food. Where is the fierce Greek food pride? Nick's removed Taramosalata ( a caviar spread), skordalia ( garlic spread) from the menu, and replaced Greek melitzanosalata (eggplant spread) with Babaganoush. Melitzanosalata != babaganoush!!! NOT! NOT!! Babaganoush has tahini in it, like hummus does, while melitzanosalata only has garlic, lemon, olive oil parsley and occasionally tomato or bread crumbs. The Tzatziki is watered down and full of chunks of cucumber ( Greeks grate their cucumber and salt and squeeze it to remove liquid so it is thick, and it didn't have much garlic, or dill or mint in it. Real Tzatziki is made with thick, strained Greek yogurt. It is not the thin sauce served with Iranian/Persian, Afghani, Iraqi shish-ka-bobs. The complimentary hummus tasted neither of chickpeas, garlic nor tahini (and since when is hummus Greek?) The meze sampler was a tablespoon of the spreads ( Tzatziki, and feta-pepper) in quarter cup ramekins, two small canned dolmades, two fried falafel balls in which there were crunchy bits of uncooked garbanzo beans, two triangles of frozen spanakopita ( spinach pie). The mixed grill platter was two cubes of beef, two of chicken a ground meat patty a chunk of raw onion and a piece of raw green pepper. They use basmati rice-- I've never heard of a Greek that uses basmati rice or even knew what it was. I love basmati rice, but it doesn't give the right flavor for Greek food. And on top of the enormous pile ( it must have been two cups of rice) was a small circle of tomato sauce. Greeks have so many ways of preparing rice, this was just a cheap easy way of making a skimpy portion of meat look like a generous plate, and that was $17! You get much more meat, better cooked and flavored for less money at most of the non-Greek middle eastern restaurants. The avgolemono (chicken stock base with egg (avgo) as thickener, and lemon (lemono) soup) was thick with orzo (pasta) starch not thickened with egg-- the taste gives it away, and there was no lemon in it until I asked for lemon and squeezed it in the soup myself. Stand up for your cuisine! Differentiate yourself from the other ethnic restaurants -- say Oxi! Be Greek! read more

Nick's Taverna is one of our go to places to grab food close to home. The staff is always friendly and our to go order is always ready for pick up when I get there. read more

I'm a sucker for Greek food, and this place doesn't disappoint. The servings are large. The flavors are bold. I wouldn't consider myself picky when it comes to Greek cuisine, but this is always my first stop when I get a craving. I haven't found a consistent competitor. Stop in and find out for yourself. read more

Food is amazing, Service was impeccable, and ambiance was inviting and warm. I ordered a mixed grille and my girlfriend got a lamb shank, the beef was amazingly cooked and the sauce was nice and juicy. I tried some of my girlfriends lamb shank and it was melt-in-your-mouth savory goodness. Loved the service, very fast and efficient, server always made sure we were set and good to go. Tried the galaktoboureko for desert and i do say, its a very unique and delicious desert. Overall experience was amazing and i will definitely come here again. read more

Authentic Greek food in an authentic Greek taverna-like atmosphere. Food was excellent. Service was a little desultory but hey, that's pretty common across the boards. The wall in Greek was a nice touch that made me happy. My wife and I loved the food. read more

Food, service and ambience are outstanding. Went with a large group on a Friday night when they have live music. Music was great, lots of space, service and attitude of the waitress was wonderful and all the dishes were cooked to perfection. Definitely one of the best greek restaurants in the area. Highly recommend! read more

Great team with lots of synergy got our visit off to a perfect start. Friendly, professional, and attentive. Topped off the experience with fantastic absolutely delicious food. Will be back. They are open and are handling safety concerns appropriately. Come visit! read more

Went for lunch. Had chicken kabob. Currently on a healthy diet plan so had some restrictions. The waiter was happy to help. Food was delicious. Definitely recommend read more

The front desk girls dint seem very welcoming. They were busy talking to greet us. Our server was very sweet and kept checking on us. The ambience was mehh. I could see a lot of food strewn around on the floor. Which was a big turn off! The food by itself was pretty good. The hummus was to die for. This place might not be a first choice for me just because of the ambience of the restaurant! read more

Love this place! We get takeout from here all the time and have sat at the bar. Service was great and the food is always great. I recommend the spanakopita entree, or the salad with the dolmades in it-yum! read more

My wife and I like to eat here before we go to Fox Cinema. This evening we stopped in and the waitress started to seat us next to a family that had three children running all over the place. They were running and screaming all over the small stage. We asked to be seated in the bar because of the screaming children. That didn't help. The parents just let their three children run and scream and the management did nothing about it. We left and went to the Blue Ridge Grill and had a wonderful dinner before going to the theatre. This is not the first time this happened. We won't be back. Follow up: We went back again and had a similar experience. We spoke to the manager about the children running all over the place and he said "We don't interfere with the parents and their children." After hearing that we told him that we were leaving and would not return. We don't waste our time on this place anymore. We do not mine well behaved children in a restaurant, or even a noisy or unruly child as long as the parents deal with it; but to allow your children to run all over the place while others are trying to eat their dinner is not acceptable in my opinion. This place has no control over the children. Bye Bye. read more

If you haven't had a chance to try Nicks Traverna in Ashburn you are missing out. Had their beef fettuccine with Gorgonzola cream sauce tonight and it was out of this world!!!! The service is excellent, the atmosphere is pleasant and the food is delicious! It's a great dining experience. read more

Nick's Taverna - Shrimp Ala Nick 's and beef fettuccini with gorganzola cream sauce are just 2 of my favorites. The food is absolutely delicious!!!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Ashburn, Virginia

Thank you thank you Nick!! Your menu change to Greek has been the best thing to happen to Brambleton in a while! Yum yum the lamb shank is my favorite and the Mezza sampler deliciously covers all the Greek bests! I think I will order take out again tonight! read more

Being a foodie, I've pretty much written off all of the restaurants in Ashburn as they're mediocre at best. This place has changed hands (apparently over a year ago) and is now a Greek restaurant/sports bar. I wasn't expecting much as the previous place (Nick's Corner Grill) was well below par. I ordered the gyro and was pleasantly surprised with the right proportions of meat, onions, tomatoes and tzaziki sauce. The service was friendly and quick. This place was good enough to add into my regular weekend meals. Hoping this place sticks around! read more

Our party of 6 stopped by have some apps and drinks on the patio. There were only 3 tables occupied on patio that had more than 10 tables open. We specifically asked if they allowed dogs on the patio to which they said yes. So our entire group sat on the patio and at that point we were told our dog couldn't join us, she had to be kept outside of the fence. Then we couldn't join 2 tables together, we had to share a table meant for no more than 4 people for 6 adults. Ee asked if this was against fire code which the server said no, it's just our policy. We decided to leave the restaurant prior to ordering any food or drinks because we couldn't believe they would quickly change their policies or have ridiculous rules like not joining 2 tables together. Bottom line, this review does not include my opinion on their food or drink because we didn't have the opportunity to get that far. read more

So I am going to raise my stars. They remodeled and changed menus. They now serve Greek fare. We were skeptical but after hearing good reviews fromother Brambleton residents we deicded why not. It is a total transformation. The food was much better. Is it my favorite Greek restaurant? No. But I like the fact that if I really wanted I could walk here. The hummus and pita were great. The chicken souvlaki was decent and my husband enjoyed the mousakka which is made in house. The waitress was a little slow considering there was only 3 other tables in the restaurant that was occupied. The bar seemed like there was a good crowd and with lots of people watching football. I would totally check it out again! read more

Stopped in at local Greek restaurant- Nick's for a Greek meal to go. Service was great, food was so good. Thanks Nicks! My standby for spanakopita, gyros and fresh hummus. My Greek-food fix is now satisfied til the next time. read more
