Best Lunch Spot: Niko's Bar & Gyros
Early each morning, you’ll find Niko’s Bar & Gyros owner Nick Moulagianis making hummus in his restaurant kitchen. His 76-year-old dad is there, too, making the “secret sauce,” aka tzatziki (a combination of yogurt, garlic cucumbers and herbs).
There are six kinds of hummus on the menu ranging from garlic to cilantro jalapeno, roasted red pepper, Buffalo and spicy feta.
His famous gyros include the more traditional lamb and beef variety, but he’ll be the first to tell you that, “we put everything on a pita.” And does he ever. Chicken, pork, BLT, grouper, corned beef, cheeseburger, reuben and vegetarian are but a few of the many options.
There are 25 craft beers on tap here, too, but only one Fat Niko. Created by Fat Head Brewery, this signature beer has become so popular that it’s now available in cans at his restaurants as well as other Northeast Ohio locations.
