Uncle Nick's

Frommer's Review

For stupendous portions of surprisingly good traditional Greek food at good prices, come to Uncle Nick's. Turn off your cellphone upon entering, not because you might disturb your neighbors, but because there is no way you will be able to have a phone conversation in this loud restaurant. But how can you talk if your mouth is filled with one or more of Nick's Greek dips such as taramosalata or tzatziki, or his perfectly tender, grilled baby octopus? If you haven't filled up on his appetizers, order one of Nick's grilled specialties: The grilled lamb kabob is an absolute winner and guaranteed for leftovers, while the gyro plate is a challenge for those with even the heartiest appetites. Seafood is also good, especially the swordfish kabobs. Desserts are standard; you won't have room for them anyway. Service is friendly and matches the rollicking atmosphere here. Next door is the slightly more intimate Uncle Nick's Ouzeria, specializing in mezedes, Greek small dishes like tapas.
