    Nice variety of food at great prices. Pleasant dining area. It's nice that you can see exactly what you want and the price for it.

    Awesome spot. First time in Panama and had read online it’s kind of an institution. It’s cafeteria style with homemade Panamanian food at reasonable prices. I didn’t know how to order but you just grab a tray and get a base (I got rice) and then salad and then you choose your meat and vegetable. Then you go around get a drink and pay. Super easy. Definitely worth a visit.

    Great tuna sandwich, people also friendly to show me the food when they know I am a foreigner.

    I used to hit the Nikos at night but now I think the food is mediocre at best. The service was about right for a cafe. Probably would not go back.

    This place is about as Greek as me (I'm Italian)! The only think Greek on the menu is a flatbread crammed full of pulled chicken topped with 8 oz of sour cream and chives (which they called tatziki). The rest was mac and cheese, chicken and rice. For half a plate full of mac and cheese and some mash potato it was $10.95 plus a can of sprite $13.95 with my "Gyro" it was $21+. The mac and cheese was kraft mac and cheese powder and the mash potato was meh. If you want an authentic Greek salad or falafel this is not the place for you.

    Public semi fast food outlet. A wide variety of food to choose from. The staff was pleasant and helpful for non Spanish speaking persons

    It's nostalgia for me. The food is ok, it seems they have lowered their quality to make it affordable still after Mrs. Rona but my awela enjoyed the capuchino

  • 1/5 Diego A. 8 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    Food is average. This local does not respect credit card laws and demands a minimum purchase to pay with credit card. This is unlawful in Panama. Also, I request a supervisor and the person never came.

  • 4/5 J J. 10 months ago on Google
    The food is ok. Their system is confusing and more than one employee was completely rude because I didn't know how it worked. The Ice Cream/Coffee lady might need some help.

  • 5/5 Paula Houchins R. 2 years ago on Google
    Niko's was a great breakfast spot. Loved their omelets

  • 4/5 Jerry S. 2 years ago on Google
    Buffet style dining 24 hrs. There's a nice variety of selections presented in a clean environment.

  • 5/5 tony o. 1 year ago on Google
    A good place to have breakfast, lunch brunch, or dinner;. Fast-paced service, the daily menu is pretty accessible.

  • 5/5 Manuel M. 1 year ago on Google
    Variety of menues. God place to eat traditional local Plattes.

  • 5/5 myriah S. 2 years ago on Google
    I would like to give this Niko's 5 stars, because if you know what you're getting into it is an exactly perfect experience. But I don't want you to get the wrong idea and go in thinking it's a 5 star restaurant. It's a 5 star Nikos. I really think it's the best Nikos of all of them, although I may be biased. Huge plate of food for $4.50. Open 24 hours. Couldn't be better.

  • 5/5 Frost J. 1 year ago on Google
    A classic after hours 24hr sandwich/food place The sandwich line is slow but worth it. Tons of private parking spots

  • 5/5 amal b. 1 year ago on Google
    Open 24 hours/day which is great. Delicious Panameñan typical food and general "homemade" dishes for very affordable prices. We'll be going there soon!

  • 2/5 Tony I. 1 year ago on Google
    Very rude and unprofessional service by the food serving lady.3 of us went together. Two of us ordered first and she served us ok, then out of blue, let a new customer jump in the line who ordered a whole bunches of dishes. We waited for appx. 10min. Our food got cold. The cold meat tasted bad! We asked why she did let the new guy in. Then she got mad at us. We should have been upset, not her! No courtesy nor professional protocol? In US, we should receive a full refund! To be fair, we like the food there, and in general, workers are nice people!

  • 5/5 Art B. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome cafe, been eating here since we had military bases in Panama in the late 90’s. Best place for a gyro.

  • 4/5 Tammy L. 2 years ago on Google
    Lots of choices but food tend to be just lukewarm. Nice they offer weekday specials at good prices. Otherwise can be a bit expensive for daily lunch considering it is only a canteen with self service.
