Niko Niko's

We had a great Thanksgiving break, very relaxing with lots of turkey eaten and even more gaming. I met with my D&D group for a special Wednesday night session to account for everyone's holiday plans. Afterwards, I tore into Lord of the Rings Online and Fallout 3 to a lesser extent. I also got Farcry 2 in the mail. I have played a bit so far and will write about that later this week.

Wifezilla's birthday was back November 10th, but her school schedule was so crazy, she wanted to postpone her celebratory dinner. She got her due last night as we drove into Houston's Monstrose area and partook of some Greek cuisine at Niko Niko's. We got a taste of gyros at the Texas Renaissance Festival a few weeks back and so sought out the best Greek restaurant in Houston we could find. All roads led to Niko Niko's. The food didn't disappoint, even if the accommodations did. The place is very busy, with a line that almost led outside at varying times. It's really a lunch place though and even though the restaurant recently expanded, there just isn't enough indoor seating in proportion to the traffic. We got a booth right before the big rush hit, some good timing on our part.

I had a gyros sandwich, Melanie the gyros plate dinner, and the girls grilled cheese, on pita bread of course. We plan on returning when the yen for Greek food hits again.
