Niki’s Kitchen- Fry Bread

Such a sad day I drove over to get my favorite food and saw a sign in the website they are no longer open except for catering :(

Great service. Better fry bread. We got a chicken sandwich. Big enough for two. Good enough it to share though. We were treated with a sample of the coconut Carmel sweet fry bread. It was super good.

Sad to report that this place is closed to the public. Tried to stop here today and they had signs all over saying that they only cater?

Another establishment I visited after reading the amazing reviews and it did not disappoint.
Interior is small but clean and there was only a group of 6 that was there when I arrived so it wasn’t busy. The group was placing their order before mine but despite the large order ahead of mine, service was quick and prompt.
I got my order to go to share and ordered the red chili meat, beans & cheese deluxe style and powdered sugar and honey fry bread for dessert. They are very generous with their portion. I ate half of my fry bread and was so full. The dessert fry bread was delicious and very large.
The fry bread itself had a decent flavor and it is fluffy and delicious. The overall flavor was a great mix, nothing too overpowering and a great mix of ingredients. The only thing was I wish the red chili meat had more flavor on its own. It’s very subtle and couldn’t really taste the red chili too much.
I’m definitely going back to try the philly cheese steak fry bread!

Found Niki’s on Unilocal while traveling and glad we did! One of the best Indian Fry Breads I have ever had. My wife and I both had a Green Chili Pork Fry Bread (loaded version), which was a special of the day. Based on other reviews, we shared a Coconut Caramel Dessert Fry Bread sprinkled with powdered sugar. It was fabulous! The place comes off as a bit of a dive, but it is super clean and the people are very friendly. For any doubters, while we were there an Arizona Health Inspector was inconspicuously doing an inspection. She let us know that Niki’s nailed a PERFECT score!

Tried fry bread for the first time. It was like being at the fair without the grease hangover. The bean and cheese one was great, and the honey and sugar sweet one excellent as well. Don’t let the sketchy neighborhood deter you. It’s worth it!

Wow. Amazing Indian tacos. Love that they have vegetarian beans! Get the works with lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, salsa and sour cream. Yummy goodness.

My boyfriend discovered this place near his work. It’s a small hole in the wall place but their fry bread is amazing. I love that there is a fry bread place near our house. The owners are really nice and friendly and the food comes out fast. They have this amazing jalapeño dip they give with their fry bread and it taste so good :) Last time my best friend and I went the owner have us a free powdered sugar and honey fry bread. He didn’t have to do that but it was really nice of him to do that.

Great food and service! Small family owned place… don’t forget to tip especially if u stay to enjoy the a/c…hope Niki and Jessie forgive me for not having $$$ to when i was their on a friday night, i came back when I had more cash :). Thanks!

Went for a bit of a late lunch on Saturday. There was no one in the restaurant. Was happy to see that the beans are made with no lard. Tried a bean and cheese fry bread. The price was spot on — around $ 5 and the size was decent. It is $ 1 more if you want lettuce, tomato, sour cream.
The taste was just okay. Not much flavor going on. I dipped it in the salsa provided but still thought it was just okay.
Because of the amount of fat and calories in this item and the fact that it didn’t blow my mind… I won’t likely be back.

My partner and I discovered Niki’s Kitchen in February through a groupon and chose to visit the restaurant for a Valentine’s day lunch. I’ve only eaten fry-​bread at the Tucson Meet Yourself festival and at carnivals, so this was my first time eating one at a restaurant.
I ordered a red chili fry-​bread that was decked out with all the offered veggies and toppings. My partner ordered something that was akin to a Philly cheese steak in fry-​bread form. My dish had a very fresh feeling and was quite tasty. The Philly fry-​bread was chock full of flavor. I preferred the juicy taste of the Philly, but both dishes were quite good. I’d also like to mention that the portions were large, so I was able to take some of my leftovers home to enjoy later.
The interior itself was very homey and inviting. We were greeted warmly, so I felt very welcome. The dishes were brought out to us in a timely manner, and we were asked a few times about anything we might have needed.
Suffice it to say, it was a good experience and given the opportunity, I would gladly go again.

We had saw a groupon for Niki’s and decide to check it out. The place is in a tiny complex next to a barber shop. From the outside it doesn’t look like much but inside it’s pretty roomy, very clean, and decorated nicely.
We ordered the special, green chicken chili fry bread for $ 6.50 and made it open faced for $ 1 more. It was a little spicy but very good. We also ordered a kids fry bread with red chili and cheese ($ 3.99 I think?). It was huge! Not sure if we got the right portion size but it was delicious! I liked the red chili best but both were excellent! For dessert we ordered a fry bread with coconut caramel and ice cream. It was amazing!!! I would stop by for a dessert fry bread alone!
Overall the experience was great. We came a little later on a weeknight and even though I’m sure they wanted to start closing up we didn’t feel rushed at all. There menu says they offer various Polynesian plates on Fridays and Saturdays so we are sure to be back to taste that. We will definitely be visiting Niki’s again!

I wanted to take my friend from Florida for fry bread so she could have something uniquely Arizona. Lo and behold, a Groupon for Niki’s appeared just a couple weeks before her visit.
Our dinner at Niki’s ended up being the last of her trip, and it was a great ending. My friend and husband loved their red chile frybreads, and my husband also liked the special of the day, a green chili chicken frybread. My bean and cheese frybread reminded me of the navajo tacos that I ate while skiing at Sunrise. Just as good as the res. I was bummed our server forgot the sour cream and salsa that came with ours, but the Tapatio on the table helped.
My friend decided she had to get dessert, and instead of going with the traditional honey, she got her frybread with coconut caramel and ice cream. Let me tell you, that coconut caramel is amazingly good. The vanilla ice cream wasn’t even necessary. I could eat that caramel by the (very sticky) handful.

This was my first time here at this restaurant and also first time trying fry bread in a restaurant. Normally I wait for the state fair to get my fix of fry bread but my friend came in from Out of town and he was not very familiar with fry bread so we looked this place up and it seemed interesting.
The actual restaurant seems like its under construction??? like they are still working on organizing it or whatever. Didn’t really mind because i just came here to eat!
We ordered the original fry bread with chili beans cheese, open face deluxe with the veggies and sour cream.
I enjoyed it sooooo much. The ingredients tasted really fresh!
and i left with a food coma. :)
the staff was also really friendly which is always a plus :)
I will definitely be coming back here!

Scrum diddly!
2 of us ate for $ 21
I had the red chile w cheese– added the lettuce, sour cream, onion and tomatoes.
We split the honey/​powdered sugar fry bread.
Tons of food! Friendly and quick service. Hard to find, literally right off Stapley in an odd shopping plaza. Don’t let that deter you!
It is nothing fancy, just yummy food!

So I was stuck on this fry bread deal in Arizona and my girlfriend came out to visit me, so I looked up this place and we went to try it out. I ordered the red chili fry bread and my girlfriend ordered the Philly cheese fry bread.
The Red Chili fry bread was awesome! The fry bread was fluffy and the portion was great! I am amazed on something like this taste so good! They add all the good toppings, beans, cheese, lettuce, tomoatos, and salsa. It was very tasty and the red chili beef was cooked really well and tender and moist. Definitely a 5 star on that one.
If you like steak and cheese then get the philly cheese one. Cant go wrong with cheese and steak on a fry bread? Think of that combo? It tasted great! Put some salsa on it and that was great also! Good thing my girlfriend can only finish half of one and I could eat the rest. Both of then you cannot go wrong. It all tasted really great!
I recommend this place if your in the area.

This is a new favorite place! We bought a groupon for Niki’s and WOW we were not disappointed. I read the reviews and we went on a Friday night so were able to try the Polynenias plate. Was different than the menu but was very good we also had a green chili and red chili fry bread. They were both so good I couldn’t say which one was our favorite. Grabbed 2 dessert fry breads to take home with all the leftovers.
The portions are big and the meat is super tender. I would highly recommend this place to everyone. Can’t wait to go back again! YUM! The staff was very friendly and helpful :)

The boy&I&Kat A went here… the day after we went to The Fry Bread House in Phoenix. It definitely has a different vibe, but that’s cool too. I got the Indian taco, the boy got the Philly Cheesesteak Fry Bread, and Kat got the strawberry + ice cream dessert fried bread.
It was good, but I wasn’t as impressed. Maybe because it was the 2^nd time I’d had fried bread in two days… but I prefer The Fry Bread House. It just felt more authentic for me, I think. Oh well. If I was in Mesa, I’d come back I guess! I can’t get fry bread in CA really, so who am I to complain? :P

What a great place. I have been here a few times and tried the: Philly Cheese, polly plate, Carmel coconut sweet bread. they were all very good. I have told so many friends and family about this place and have had no complainants from anyone.
seemed to be family owned and operated. Staff on all levels was great very friendly and helpful.

Okay, so I use to live on a reservation in Washington state. The tribe could smoke a mean salmon, but the local frybread joint left me not a big fan. However, thanks to Groupon and other Unilocal reviewers, I got a taste for some. I’m glad I did because this place changed my overall opinion.
Pros: For being frybread, it was not greasy at all. There is a variety of choices from vegetarian to desserts. Here is what members of our group had — BBQ beef and cheese frybread, two red chile frybread tacos, a side salad, and sweet frybread with honey and powdered sugar. YUM!
Cons: The new location is in a rundown area and located next to a liquor store. Plastic utensils just don’t cut it here. I ended up tearing my food apart. Also, nobody acknowledged us when we came in and sat down. We weren’t sure if someone would take our order or if we had to go to the counter because we hadn’t been there before.
As long as you go in not expecting anything fancy and over the top, you won’t be disappointed. It’s a family owned restaurant with faithful customers (we were greeted by one when we accidentally went to their old location). All four of us left full and satisfied with our meals.
