Niki's Downtown
1101 2nd Ave. N., downtown (near I-65)
251-1972
Founded in 1951, Niki's serves 13 meats and 32 vegetables daily cafeteria style, plus traditional Greek dishes like pastitsio, souvlaki and Greek-style chicken, as well as breakfast. According to Southernfoodways.com, "Born in Greece, George Sissa grew up in Birmingham, where his father ran a handful of restaurants downtown, including the Terminal Café. George bought Niki’s Downtown from the Hontzas family (the same Hontzas family line that still has Niki’s West) in the late 1980s and is serving up some traditional Greek fare, Southern specialties, and the absolute best fudge pie anywhere."

This place has the best lunch in all of Birmingham. I can eat at Niki's almost everyday (they are closed Saturday & Sunday).
I enjoy eating at Niki's. I eat there at least twice a week. They need to have more restaurants in Birmingham that taste this good.
This is the best meat and three in Birmingham!!! Try the snapper fingers sometime. The deserts are homemade and the best. Best Key lime pie I have had. The fied okra is exactly like my momma used to make.
