Giorgios Hospitality puts newest restaurant in Durham’s Brightleaf Square


On the heels of opening a new restaurant in downtown Durham, a longtime restaurateur says he's bringing a new concept – with a nostalgic twist – to Brightleaf Square.

Giorgios Bakatsias of Giorgios Hospitality Group plans to open Niko in early 2023. Bakatsias previously had a restaurant, Nikos Greek Tavern, in Brightleaf Square until 2011. The new concept will bring back some of that location’s best dishes, as well as featuring dishes from Israel, Turkey and Lebanon.
