Review Nikos Modderfontein - Modderfontein

Absolutely Love This Place! I would recommend this to every single person they have a variety for everyone. The owners are such sweethearts 👌💜 .

Genuinely love coming here. Food today was just put of this world. Had such a great time with my wife here. Had the moussaka and Three Greek Brothers skewers.

The host was pleasant. The venue has a new view of the lake. The food was divine.

Friendly service, excellent food, beautiful setting, and warm atmosphere. The salad was fresh, with a very large portion of chicken included. Seasing was tasty too. The staff were knowledgeable, and checked in to make sure everything was in order. Dessert was out of this world! I highly recommend the chocolate brownie. Overall, we had an amazing experience! We will definitely be visiting again.

Nikos has one of the most amazing view while we had an amazing lunch here. We ordered the beef tomahawk steak, and prawns and calamari pasta. The flavours were out of this world! Both dishes have very strong chargrill, smoky flavour and cooked to perfection. We will definitely come back and try something else on the menu. Edit: I came to Nikos again but this time with my close families for dinner. We really enjoyed our time again, had a very pleasant evening, and enjoyed all the food. You will never go wrong ordering grills here. The only issue we had was the service. The waiter did not place one of the main meal. I truly think it's just a mistake which everyone makes but our issue was that the waiter was defending himself and even raised his voice towards us. We got a new waiter and he was very attentive. Overall, still a great evening and amazing food.

Great view, lovely setting and delicious halloumi. Service was good but a bit slow.

What an amazing restaurant. The atmosphere was amazing, friendly staff and owner. The food was out of this world. Our newest favourite place. Ive never seen bigger prawns before and the calamari and the prawns was mind blowing. Thank you , see you soon.

Yummy food, double-quick service and even a beautiful view over the little dam below. Well recommended!!

No words for this place. Absolutely amazing! John and team are amazing. The service, atmosphere, and food was 10/10. Will definitely be coming back. Do try the giant prawns. Everything was perfect.

Where do I even start, I loved everything about Nikos and I am so glad to have discovered this beautiful gem of a place. The restaurant has this good vibe to it from the minute you enter and the decor is such a pleasure to look at.It perfectly compliments the lake view. Our waitress Pretty was kind enough to explain all the Greek named dishes to us and gave recommendations on what we should order. The food was neatly served and very tasty, the portions were also value for money even managed to take some home. If you looking for a homely and a place that values their customers Nikos is the place to be .I will definitely be back and their bathrooms smelled amazing🙈.

Nikos Modderfontein ticks all the boxes for an amazing, authentic Greek dining experience with excellent service to match. The impeccable attention to detail from the owners John and Roxana, who meet and greet every customer, and visit every table to ensure this family owned and run restaurant delivers consistently on their promise of a truly Greek experience. You surely will feast on their freshly home-made dishes, and you will leave as part of the family. Having had a full Seafood meal for Greek Orthodox Palm Sunday was even more authentically Greek, as it was filled with Greek families who lingered as long as we did, enjoyed an array of dishes and soaked in the almost island atmosphere. I’ve been eyeing out all the excellent food posts from Nikos and when you see that the customer food posts look the same as the advertising, you must know that this is serious food. And boy, Oh boy!! This was an experience of note. I could write a short novel on this but I’ll be as brief as possible. Starting with the best Spanakopita I’ve ever eaten, with crispy phyllo pastry encapsulating a delicious filling of spinach and feta, you know this journey is going to be póso thavmásio (wonderful)!! Followed by an incredibly fresh Village Greek salad with a delightful chunk of Greek feta cheese, then soft delicious pita bread with 4 of the most wonderful dips – Tarama (fish roe dip), Htipiti (Red pepper, chili and feta dip), Hummus (Chickpea dip) and my favourite – Skordalia (garlic dip with crushed garlic, pureed potatoes and lots of olive oil). Heavenly describes the Skordalia best if you love garlic and velvety potatoes. Getting to mains and sides – the next chapter on this marvellous adventure. Vegetarians will love the delectable Roasted Cauliflower with burnt butter, sage and pine kernels. Even I could go Veg with this spectacular dish. It’s a must try for anyone. We had meaty Mozambican Tiger Giant prawns (seasonal and you must ask if they have it) and the most succulent and flavourful Mozambican King Prawns – accompanied by lemon butter and a special Nikos spicy sauce. Add a whole coal-grilled Kabeljou (fish) that is perfectly grilled and full of flavour, with the most tender, tasty calamari, crispy zucchini fries that stayed crisp through the whole meal, perfect crispy roast potatoes and you have a feast for Neptune!! Seafood never tasted this fresh and tasty. Brilliant food preparation of products sourced by John to be the freshest and the best, excellent plating and fabulous taste all round. Bravo to the peeps in the kitchen. Dessert time - Freshly made traditional Loukoumades (Greek mini doughnuts in syrup and nuts) were just scrumptious as you bite into the hard outside layer and taste the syrupy goodness combined with crunchy nuts. The Pavlova, with its layers of meringue, whipped cream, berry coulis and mixed berries, sprinkled with Turkish delight and castor sugar was just sublime. I’m having a whole one next time.  Finally two cups of double Greek coffee and lunch was done …. no need for dinner after such a fiesta.

I absolutely loved the food here. Very flavourful and authentic Greek cuisine. The stand out was definitely the excellent service we got from Sibusiso. He was such a great waiter and made us feel so welcome. I would definitely recommend this place.

This is not our first time eating here, and it won’t be our last. All managers and co are helpful, friendly, and warm. Portions are good. Value for money. Food is sublime! A real favorite!!

With gorgeous views of the lake, this restaurant is so worth a visit and will no doubt become a regular of ours. The food was beyond exquisite, with prawns and calamari melting in our mouths! Perfect peri-peri and lemon butter and hands down the best crispy chips in Joburg! The frozen margherita was another huge surprise and perfectly made! Gracious staff and owners, do yourself a favour and go to the Nikos Modderfontein, well done guys!

Food Was Excellent! Great Location! However, our Waiter could’ve been slightly more attentive
