Nikos Fairfield

I wasn't sure what to expect when I arrived, but the food here is simply incredible. They offer an extensive selection of both traditional and modern Greek dishes! The lamb shoulder, lemon potatoes, tarama, and zucchini loukoumades are absolute must-trys! To top it off, make sure to indulge in the traditional Galaktoboureko along with a Greek frappe, and your Friday night will be perfect. I traveled over 45 minutes to get here, and I will definitely be returning!

The staff here are incredibly friendly and accommodating. Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I tried the popcorn calamari and prawn pasta, and both dishes were delicious, made with fresh ingredients. Coffee: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The coffee was excellent—strong and made from high-quality beans. I absolutely loved it! I highly recommend this place!

However, it can be a bit confusing with the multiple registers. If you're looking to grab just a few biscuits to take away, the staff tend to make a fuss with bags, boxes, paper, and weighing the items, which feels a bit excessive for a simple order. Despite this minor inconvenience, it's definitely a place worth visiting, and the parking is quite convenient as well.

Tucked a little away from the main strip of shops, restaurants and cafes on Station Street in Fairfield, there is Nikos, a modern Greek restaurant that is also a cake shop that specialises in beautiful cakes for weddings, birthdays and other special occasions. I was impressed by the restaurant's space the interior is large and tastefully decorated, with a dedicated counter for takeaway pastries and cake slices, and an adjacent shop for ordering special occasion cakes. Dining at Nikos felt a notch more fancy than the other cafes in the area, but dining prices were comparable and not more pricey! The service we received was excellent, friendly and helpful. Our waiter, upon noticing that I had put aside the flower garnishes from my plate, informed me that the flowers were edible, and I replied that I was keeping them to show my daughters. When he came back to clear our plates after our meal, he placed a tiny container on the table for the flowers! It was such a thoughtful gesture. We enjoyed our coffees, and the food was every bit as delicious as they looked. Nikos is definitely one that we will revisit again, when things go back to normal.

The food is absolutely amazing! Great quality and couldn’t be happier! The service was great, always making sure to see if everything was alright and if we were happy! Had a great night and will definitely recommend to others!
