Nico's Returning?

[Jim O'Bryan]

It says that Nico's is returning? I remember Niko's, but Nico's?
Maybe it is some Nico Suave Italian restaurant?

I wondered the same thing when I saw the sign, I thought perhaps my mind was playing tricks on me and I guess it's not.

wasn't it Nikos? with a "K"

Detroit ROAD? He must not be from around here.
Speaking of Greek restaurants, the Greek Village on Madison makes a great gyro.
Does anyone remember Plaka? They were in Lakewood on 117th by the tracks, in the old rr station where Dianna's now stands. That was a great restaurant.

I remember a Plaka on Highland Ave.

The Greek Village is a tremendous place and a great deal! Open till 4am!

The Greek Village is amazing!!!! I am addicted to that place.

[Colleen Wing]

A+ for Greek Village for sure. My husband said the same thing about the "K" in Nico's from before.

[Valerie Molinski]

I am betting that it was a hastily made sign... and the sign maker took certain liberties that could not be correctly swiftly enough?

That said, I've only lived here a few years now and do not know the history of Niko and his restaurant, but my impression of him and his businesses there are that it's kind of schizophrenic? Hot and cold?

I understand that food service and restauranteuring have a certain amount of feast/famine periods and turnover, but wow...

[Danielle Masters]

Went past there today and new signs are up with the restaurant spelled "NIKO'S". Perhaps the owner reads the deck.

[Betsy Voinovich]

Hey Danielle, I noticed that too.

I took these pictures this morning.

Maybe we should post on the Deck what our favorite meals were last time Nikos was around, so he can start out with them on the menu. . .

[Stan Austin]

I'm thinking, in that location, and given the market in terms of tastes and prices, Niko has to thread a mighty fine needle here.
I think there's opportunity, but it has to be genuine and be very responsive to an increasingly more sophisticated Lakewood restaurant/entertainment audience.

What about Deagans where Crazy Ritas used to be?

What about Deagans where Crazy Ritas used to be?

I'd like to see something last more than 1 year in that location

The standards for Greek food in our area is set by two church festivals: the Annunciation festival in Tremont on Memorial Day weekend, and the Saints Constantine and Helen festival in Cleveland Heights in late August. And, although I've only had their gyro, the Greek Village has set some pretty high standards themselves. Anyone considering opening (or reopening) a Greek restaurant would do well to sample the food at these places.
