Karim Pirani constructed his first commercial retail center in 2009 at Hwy. 59 and First Colony Boulevard but struggled to attract tenants. To try and spark activity within his retail center, Pirani opened his own restaurant, Nikoz Fusion Grill, in 2011.
“I was sitting here in prime Sugar Land retail [space], and nobody was wanting to rent,” he said. “I came up with a concept, and I wanted to do something that was healthy.”
Pirani’s concept was to combine the Mediterranean and Asian cuisines into one food genre. To accomplish his vision, he developed the restaurant’s menu to offer many traditional Greek, Mediterranean and Asian dishes, and season them with an array of Indian spices.
