The Niko Story

Welcome to Niko's, the fulfillment of a passion to combine food, fun and family in a unique dining experience. My father, Nick Louis, came to America with a dream; through hard work and a desire to create great food, he started his first restaurant and ignited a passion to share the good things in life that lives to this day in me.

I invite you to enjoy the good things in life here at Niko's, located at the top of the historic Market House. Our menu offers a variety of food, from family and regional favorites to inspired American and Mediterranean recipes, all made especially for you in our open kitchen that captures the activity and excitement of the original Market House.

At Niko's you can feel the history all around you. Imagine stepping back through Lebanon's past to a time when immigrants flocked to the Market House to ply their trade, buy their supplies and socialize with their friends and neighbors. You can almost hear the voices and sounds and see the movement of people going about their daily business with the hustle and bustle of turn-of-the-century life creating a fusion and flow of every color imaginable.

Niko's brings that color and energy to life for our customers today. Cherish the company of family and friends as you enjoy your meal surrounded by the mix of modern day comforts and the Lebanon heritage that makes this place special to me. My father continues to watch over Niko's through the family pictures that tell his story of hard work, good times and love.

After your meal, relax in Niko's lounge and enjoy one of our signature martinis surrounded by the historical touches that make it a uniquely Lebanon experience. Those who are so inclined can visit the Silver Star Cigar Lounge, named after my father's restaurant, just off the main lounge area where you can enjoy a fine cigar with your favorite drink.

I hope you will have a wonderful experience at Niko's and leave feeling like you are a part of the family all the while delighting in the love, hard work and passion that went into creating Niko's and restoring the Market House. Niko's is more than great food and drink; it is family, fun, heritage and passion for the good things in life.

Enjoy!
