Nikos Greek Restaurant

If you're ever in Ossett and craving an authentic Greek experience that hits the spot from the first bite to the last sip, Nikos Greek Restaurant on Dale Street is where your tastebuds need to be. Tucked away at 43 Dale St, this local gem brings the warmth of a Mediterranean kitchen right into the heart of West Yorkshire - no passport needed.

The moment you step into Nikos, the ambiance wraps around you like a welcome from a long-lost friend. It's laid-back yet elegant, cozy without feeling cramped, and filled with the inviting aromas of oregano, grilled meats, and freshly baked pita. Whether you're dining solo, enjoying a quiet lunch break, or winding down for dinner with friends, the space caters to every vibe. And if accessibility matters, good news - there’s wheelchair-accessible seating, making it a welcoming spot for everyone.

Let’s talk food, because that’s where Nikos Greek Restaurant really shines. Their Greek Chicken Souvlaki is an absolute must-try - juicy, perfectly charred, and served with warm pita, fresh salad, and a generous helping of tzatziki. For something heartier, the Kleftiko - slow-cooked lamb that falls apart with just a fork - is pure comfort food, Greek-style. And if you're feeling adventurous, the King Prawn Saganaki, bathed in a rich tomato sauce and topped with feta, offers a delightful twist that balances boldness and tradition in one bite.

The menu doesn’t stop there. Starters like Garlic Mushrooms and Bruschetta Greca set the tone with big flavors in small bites, while shareable options like the Mezze Platter are perfect if you're not quite ready to commit to just one dish. Vegetarians are also in for a treat with options like Greek Yogurt with honey and nuts, Olives, and lighter plates that don’t skimp on flavor. And yes - there are healthy options and small plates that make it easy to keep things balanced without sacrificing indulgence.

If you're dining with a group (or just have a big appetite), the Nikos Special Pizza brings the soul of Greece to your table, layered with Mediterranean toppings and perfectly baked. Fans of seafood will appreciate the Calamari Fritti or Sea Bass, both executed with finesse, while classic comfort-lovers can go for the familiar yet satisfying Spaghetti Bolognese or Chips as a side to just about anything.

And now for dessert - don’t even think about skipping it. Their Baklava is syrupy, flaky perfection, and pairs beautifully with a strong cup of Greek coffee. Prefer something creamier? The Cheesecake, Ice Cream, or Chocolate-based treats provide a sweet finale without being overbearing. It’s all complemented by a drinks list that impresses: Heineken and a solid wine list, as well as spirits, beer, and great coffee for those who like to sip slowly and linger a little longer.

As a local favorite, Nikos Greek Restaurant draws in a crowd during both lunch and dinner hours, especially those who appreciate hearty, home-style Greek cuisine that doesn’t cut corners. It’s also a great pick for those flying solo - the service is friendly, the food arrives with care, and you never feel rushed.

Whether you’re picking up a takeaway to enjoy at home or sitting in to soak up the lively atmosphere, Nikos delivers on consistency, flavor, and that classic Greek hospitality. It’s the kind of place that locals swear by and visitors remember long after they’ve left town.
