“Delicious & great service! We loved Esca but this was also v delicious & v healthy. Room is pretty. The bar is not as cozy & stylish as it was in its former iteration but overall we will be back & wish them great success! Great space & option including while in the theatre district, Sony Hall, etc;))“
“This was our first visit and it sure didnt dissapoint. Everything was outstanding service, food and atmosphere. I had the whole fish and my wife had the lamb and both dishes were done to perfection. We will definetly visit again and bring friends over to this hidden gem!“
“I usually don’t goto places like this because I’m from Brooklyn and I dress like a bum. The service was amazing, they didn’t judge my dirty Brooklyn cyclones hat and were very attentive. Second, the food was amazing and loved every bits of it.The appetizers we tried were the tuna tartare, chicken gyro bao buns and saganaki fondue. All were amazing! My main course was the salmon and I can’t describe how good it was because my vocabulary is limited. But anyway, once again the service was amazing. I would recommend this place even to gnarly out of borough people like me!“
“The food at Elea is always outstanding, the service this time...not so much. AND, as the people sitting next to us were leaving, the man said "do not order the cheesecake." I didn't ask why he said that but....he clearly didn't like it. Unfortunately, our server was not the best but I guess that's to be expected on a holiday.“
“One of the best dining experiences I've had. Excellent food and service. The chef owner was warm and welcoming. I especially liked the chicken soup on a cold rainy day. And the yogurt was the best. I hope to return soon. Would highly recommend.“
“By now of course this place is a NYC Institution like Da Umberto, Raouls and Il Mulino. They run a good program, and the service is always attentive. The drinks come quickly, and notably the mezze are the star, along with the fresh fish. The whole bronzino is excellent. You can also almost aways get a table short notice, so that's nice too. Go with a smile on your face, and you are liable to leave with a bigger one.“
“I’ve been to Kyma a few times already and I always have a great time . First time I went on a Saturday night with a few friends and we had the time of our lives. The manager, Steve, was really nice and he made sure that we were having a good time. Yiannis, our server, had some great recommendation for food and drinks, but most importantly he was so pleasant and polite. We will def go back again.“
“Amazing food, the spinach pie, greek expresso martini, and the vegetarian moussaka was beyond anything I’d imagine. The hostess Milena was beyond amazing, and the bartender Fausto was very attentive. I will make sure the Citi team is aware about this place.Definitely will be back!“
“We would like to thank the Avra Team for the wonderful experience we had celebrating our son's 1 year old birthday and his grandparents 40th wedding anniversary. Beautiful place for special celebration! Sophisticated ambience, attentive staff, exceptional service, delicious Greek food! We highly recommend making reservation in advance!“
“My husband and I enjoyed brunch at Paros last month and we were interested to see if dinner would be as good -- and our dinner Saturday night exceeded our expectations. We focused on smaller plates: tuna crudo, hamachi crudo, grilled calamari, zucchini fritters and spanakopita, followed by the orange cake with Greek yogurt gelato. Everything was delicious (my favorite was the grilled calamari). Excellent service, even though the restaurant and bar were quite busy.“
“Awesome brunch. Wait is really long on the weekend however and they only do walk-ins. Food came out slow and service left something to be desired but food mostly made up for it. I'd definitely try and come here more often if I lived closer and it wasn't as busy!“
“The view from this restaurant is absolutely amazing, offering a breathtaking panorama of Manhattan. They have a big market place to showcase their fresh daily seafood, including a variety of fishes, oysters,scallops, scampi, and Carabineros. The atmosphere is great, and the setting is perfect for socializing. If you don't mind the price, it's also a great place for a date. Scallop sashimi, zucchini stack, carabineros was delicious.“
“On a chilly Sunday afternoon Smiley and I dined outside at Village Taverna, heat lamps hung above each table, so we were nice and toasty, the food is outstanding, so is the staff, the atmosphere pleasing, we dined early just before the crowd to get these photos. My wife Smiley rates the Village Taverna 5 Smiles.“
“Really excellent Greek place. This is the second time I’ve visited and I’ve been impressed on both occasions by the lovely food. The tuna-salmon carpaccio is gorgeous and so good I regretted having to share it. The ink risotto and the sea bass with gnocchi are both wonderful—the gnocchi is so crispy! And for dessert we had the orange cake, which is packed with citrus flavor. Atmosphere is relaxed and friendly.“
“This was my first time yesterday going to jersey gyros. Let me tell you, this was the best gyro I have ever had. The lamb was absolutely amazing. Staff was super nice and I only waited a few mins. Def am going back the next time I'm in that area. So good. You have to try it.“
“This restaurant is exquisite. The atmosphere is very beautiful and calming. The area is nice. The service is very good, servers are very efficient. These servers even ask about any food allergies which shows how dedicated they are to the restaurant environment. The food is very good with lots of flavor.“
“My mom and I have drove past this place for years and kept saying that one day we'll stop by and check it out. We just went yesterday and honestly did not expect the food to be as good as we anticipated. The owners were insanely nice, made the food from scratch, and the entire atmosphere of the place was welcoming. Highly recommend everyone to come here on the regular!“
“Fresh and delicious! I came here based on the Yelp reviews and it did not disappoint. If you're looking for a quick, no-hassle but relatively healthy meal in the city (and you'd like to sit down while eating it) this place is great!“
“Tino's is great but they need to find a better way to stagger reservations so they don't make people wait an unreasonable amount of time (with a reservation), and so that diners don't feel rushed because they're taking up space and people who are waiting to die are on top of them. Food is fantastic, the octopus is a must order. The one tip I'll give is to make a reservation and call 1 hour prior to confirm, and maybe call again to 30mins out to let them know your ETA. Otherwise expect to wait 30mins even with a res“
“We had a great time celebrating a birthday at GRECA. The in-house bakery made their amazingly delicious orange olive oil cake into a birthday cake for my daughter. Amazing wand gluten-free! All the dishes were fresh and tasty. The Spreads appetizer had interesting spreads that were devoured. The lamb chops and chicken souvlaki were perfectly cooked. And the orange oil cake was perfection. The staff were absolutely lovely and very friendly.“
“9 Jones Restaurant had a very mysterious and high-class mystique with a 10/10 atmosphere. The food was find overall a little bland for our taste, but the item that stole the show was the grilled octopus. The service was good but very slow. Our reservation started around 6PM and we didn’t get out main courses til 8:15PM. Did have a surprised burlesque show which was so fun!!“
“I have been a fan of Souvlaki GR for many years . Prices are reasonable and food is excellent. Our favs over the years have been lamb chops, lemon potatoes , meatballs , Greek salad , and of course pita wraps. Today, after our meal, on the way out, I asked them to get me baklava as take out . I got home and I am stunned to see how small the portion is for $12 bucks . I know inflation is hurting everyone but I think this is such a shame . Very disappointed . Nyc restaurants are increasingly becoming obnoxious . Please be better .“
“Phenomenal meal! We were lucky enough to sit in Alicia section and basically just followed her suggestions. The tzatziki, octopus, duck, and baklava were all . We were able to get in and out to catch our train without compromising on a great NYC culinary experience. Looking forward to coming back!“
“Lamb chops very tasty with Lemon Potatoes and Vegetables!!!!! Phenomenal!!!! Appetizers were very fresh . Dessert was incredible, we had the Galaktoboureko for the first time ever!!!! Our waiter was very helpful, didn't have to wait long for our food.10/10“
“I wish there were 10 stars for the review!!! I have never written a review before but this place made me reconsider so here's my first one...Both dine in and take out options are amazing! Delicious food (no matter what we've tried so far), cooked to perfection and full of flavors each time. Everything is fresh (which is very important to me) and made on the spot. Serving is always awesome as well!!!It's definitely worth the trip if you are close (even if you're not) to Bergen County. DO NOT MISS IT!“
“It’s casual but polished casual.$5.25/ Freddo Cappuccino. It was very good. This was the item I was most impressed with at Pi Bakerie, over and above the pastries and baked dishes. If I come back to Pi Bakerie it will be specifically for the Freddo Cappuccino. I could envision myself deliberately making a detour via SoHo for this Freddo Cappuccino. Which is pretty cool that means they have a “destination item” on their menu.I’d be curious to compare with Café Lyria who also make reportedly excellent Greek Freddo Cappuccino (this is like the Italian Schakerato).Also curious to try their Peinirli (“cheese boat”). Looked delicious.“
“A truly memorable meal...with the exception of one server who was clearly having a bad day, Milos was extraordinary. Every food item from the lowly (but melt in your mouth) grilled Italian bread with family olive oil to a flavor-packed branzino baked in sea salt and the most amazing baklava on the planet, this evening was special. Let's just say the meal held up well with a gorgeous sunset view over the Hudson River.“
“We had the pleasure of dining at Eleni's Saturday night and it was a wonderful evening. The hostess Sren started the evening on a high note because of her warmth and friendliness. Unfortunately, my reservation had been lost when I did it on Google, but she could not have been more accommodating. She gave us a table that we could spend two hours at without being rushed. The grilled calamari, octopus, and appetizer of dips were all exceptional, as was the waitress we had. Both the waitress and Sren made a point of coming over during the meal to ensure that we were pleased with everything. The ambiance is lovely and is very inviting. I can't wait to return to this restaurant that truly values and appreciates it customers and makes you feel like an honored guest. Thank you to Sren and our waitress for a fabulous night out.“
“All of these old school Gyro shops are closing their doors. Proper Greek gyro on the pit, very fresh, delicious, quick and for a fair price. Worth the trip down from Mahwah now and again. The staff is very friendly and the place is small and very clean.“
“We would like to thank the Avra Team for the wonderful experience we had celebrating our son's 1 year old birthday and his grandparents 40th wedding anniversary. Beautiful place for special celebration! Sophisticated ambience, attentive staff, exceptional service, delicious Greek food! We highly recommend making reservation in advance!“
“We recently had the pleasure of hiring Kellari Taverna for a catering event hosted by Philoptochos, serving the Hellenic College Holy Cross 2024 Seminarians, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. The team at Kellari Taverna crafted a perfect Lenten menu that left our guests raving about the flavors and quality of the dishes.From the tender calamari to the assortment of delectable dips, succulent shrimp, perfectly cooked fish, refreshing salad, savory potatoes, and indulgent desserts, every item on the menu was executed flawlessly. The attention to detail in each dish truly showcased the culinary expertise of the Kellari Taverna team.Moreover, the staff that attended the event were incredibly attentive, ensuring that every guest had everything they needed, from food to drinks. Their professionalism and hospitality added an extra layer of enjoyment to the evening, making our event run seamlessly.Overall, we cannot recommend Kellari Taverna highly enough for their exceptional catering services. If you're looking for delicious food, impeccable service, and a memorable dining experience, look no further than Kellari Taverna. We look forward to working with them again in the future.“
“I like this place. They have authentic Greek pastries, warm hospitality. Nice place to sit and meet someone. Though lately the music is bumping like it's a club and it's not the relaxing vibe I'm looking for on a weekday afternoon and it keeps me from lingering any longer, it just makes me anxious whereas I think it used to be more chill here. Not what I want from a coffee shop and I couldn't get past it even with headphones on. Sundays they have live music, it feels like a family party vibe with champagne going. Try the cookies in the kiosk across, so good.“
“We ordered one Mediterranean veggie pita, which was very good, but it had too much dressing for my taste. It felt like eating a Mediterranean salad in a pita ? We also ordered the beef gyro, but when we arrived at Central Park to eat, we realized we got lamb instead of beef. Nevertheless, it was absolutely delicious. We would have preferred more tzatziki though on the gyro. Would definitely come back!“
“We had just flown in and needed something before heading to a Colbert taping. We had no expectations, but absolutely loved the food. Only thing we didn't love was the sausage and only because it was seasoned in a way that wasn't for us. All of the other meats, sides and sauces were seasoned perfectly, tender, and delicious.“
“This is one of my favorite places to eat in the whole city. I come here sometimes with my baby and everyone is very nice to us and they’re very accommodating with space for my stroller even though the location is somewhat small. The food is delicious, you cannot miss the spreads. They are AMAZING. The vegetarian bowl and chicken souvlaki are also delicious. If you order coconut water they serve it fresh from a coconut. The staff is super helpful and very kind. I’ve never had a bad experience here, and I love visiting.Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs and are very accommodating to children.“
“Food is delicious here, always fresh and in good quantity, however prices have continued to go up since I first started going there and also with ordering takeout/delivery. Sometimes just ordering a Greek salad and a gyro, when all is said and done it's nearing $50. I know prices are up everywhere, but some things don't warrant such a jump in price. And definitely shouldn't stay at that price for the long term. Hoping prices will come down as food prices begin to improve.“
“I tried EFI’s today from just passing by without looking at any reviews/ knowledge about the place i was PLEASANTLY surprised on the food! I got 2 lamb gyros and spanakopita to go. The lamb meat was GOOD but I got some nasty hard pieces. But, after getting rid of the pieces the gyros were great STUFFED with fries and I Loved it! I would 100% go back but i would personally try the chicken instead. The spanakopita was great and enough to share between two!“
“We held my wife’s baby shower at this restaurant, and we have ordered from here on multiple occasions. First, the food is phenomenal. From the chicken kebab to the falafel, all of the food is fresh, and seasoned and cooked to perfection.Nora and her team essentially treat the entire restaurant, including patrons, as family. They welcome you with warmth and will work with you to do anything your heart desires, within reason. You will feel so close to Nora from the start that you will likely give her a hug before you leave.The baby shower was a complete success- the restaurant is beautiful without being too much of a spectacle- and even has a tuned piano, which allowed us to have live background music for the event.My wife had a wonderful day, and it was made possible by Nora and all of the great staff at The Bosphorus!Dietary restrictions: Vegan and GF friendlyKid-friendliness: We had 5 kids at the event so they made them chicken fingers and fries to be safe!Wheelchair accessibility: First floor, double door- we had someone in a wide wheelchair. They even walked with the person in the wheelchair holding an umbrella for her!“
“We had lunch here for the first time as a family of 4. The food was very good, clean and hygienic, the attitude was also very good, my daughter even ate 2 large pork chops by herself. The children clamored to come back. I like this restaurant very much.“
“We had our baby's first birthday party / Korean dohljanchi at Mado and it could not have been more perfect. Aret and everyone at the restaurant were so wonderful to work with. They were happy to work with my requests and made party planning so easy. The space was the perfect size with ample parking for our guests. The food was amazing and everyone raved about the pillowy bread, dips, and entrees. Highly recommend it whether it's for a family meal or event. (Photos by Lisi Halabi Photography)“
“What an excellent meal! The service was outstanding and the vibe is excellent.If you are hungry for home style Greek food, this is seriously the spot for you.Greek salad, zucchini chips, and tzatziki...no brainer to start. Add a mixed grill...and you are golden. The lamb chops are unbelievable! Throw in a couple Fix beers to wash down the delicious fries.Overall, super authentic and great service = wow!“
“Gang of three had a wonderful lunch at Anassa Taverna a few weeks ago, so when a dear friend came to town this was the place to go, along with my guy. Turns out he's had several happy meals here, branzino his fave. So much for a surprise! I love the grotto-like entry leading to a lavish display of fresh veggies, so inviting. Window table makes great street viewing and the noise level was cheerful, like the friendly waitstaff. Good bread and excellent tahini started us, decent white wine and spicy Virgin Mary for me. The prix-fixe is a great option...slightly smaller portions of what I would have ordered anyway: Avgolemono soup was among the best I've had, full of rice, fresh herbs and perfectly balanced; ground lamb kebabs, delightfully garlicky and deeply lamb-y (not so easy to get nowadays), accompanied by yummy herbed fries, tsaziki and excellent salad; then two tiny but delicious baklava pillows. Branzino and chicken breast also graced the table, and a hugely aromatic raspberry sorbet. We schmoozed, and were left undisturbed - truly a blessing.“
“My second time there in a week. Mykonian House did not disappoint. Our party of 4 had a great time. Food quantity was ample, service was top notch, we were not rushed, and our waitress Eleni was very pleasant and helpful in recommending dishes. Manager Greg works hard to ensure a positive experience for guests. They succeeded on both of my visits.“
“For a fast early Sunday dinner, I joined a friend at Souvlaki GR Midtown. At 5pm on a Sunday, the establishment only had a few occupied tables, so we received seating immediately. We decided to share the Lamb Shank ($30), Octopadi Stifado ($29), and 2x Chicken Skewers ($5.75 ea). Both the skewers and the Octopadi Stifado came served with pita. The lamb shank, described in the menu as "slow cooked lamb shank with orzo in tomato sauce", arrived just shy of fall-off-the-bone tender, bathed in a savory tomato sauce that soaked into the orzo. I used the pita to full effect in order to soak up every last drop of sauce. The Octopadi Stifado, an octopus stew w/caramelized onions in tomato sauce, had an even more savory tomato sauce, mixed with olive oil that carried the octopus flavor everywhere. Once again, the pita proved useful. The chicken skewers, with decent juice and char, proved irresistible. The pita arrived warm and fluffy. None of that dense brick nonsense that seems ubiquitous. Service proved fast. Dinner from seating to the check took 45 minutes.“
“This restaurant is amazing! We found the restaurant and seen they had great reviews through google. We hosted a family feast here, we had music, great food and great enviornment.The food is amazing, the atmosphere is great, the people are wonderful! Sandra is such a nice person, she waited on us at our family feast, she was so loving and caring and really made sure to cater to us and made us feel at home. The owner is an amazing guy, he worked with us to make sure we got all that we wanted from the menu, all the food was well cooked and fresh.I highly suggest this restaurant for any family events, parties or just a day out for lunch or dinner.Thank you so much! God bless you! May you continue to grow and succeed!“
“Warm! Elegant! Great music! Great Greek Tapas options! Awesome bar! Live Jazz Music on Thursdays! Great Happy Hours options on Tapas and drinks! Sweet hosts!Baklava, PannaCotta and double shot espresso is to die for!We are definitely coming back!Wheelchair accessibility: On the ground floor with large doors“
“Best Mediterranean food experience, such a delicious food really like the octopus and salmon everything so tasty and fresh. Like the service waiters are so friendly and professional. Highly recommend for who is looking unforgettable food experience.“
“Food: variety of fresh food falafel and hummus & salad combo. I was thinking that they serve chicken shawarma but they don’t most of their menu is only consist of falafel. Their falafel trio is great.Service: they need to pay more attention to customers with respect to their commitment.Atmosphere: they have plenty of seating outside and inside and the atmosphere is great.“
“This is a great little Cafe. I walked in, place was clean, decor was awesome, staff were smiling and friendly. I got the vegan gyro bowl, and it was really good. It was packed with gyro and rice, i actually got lunch and dinner out of it. Sometimes plant based food in general has a weird taste, however, Pita Bowl's was great. This is my new spot for vegetarian eats.“
“There are so many Greek places to choose from but we always keep coming back! The food is so delicious and everything is so fresh! Oh and the tzatziki is amazing! Also, the takeout bags always have a really cute drawing, our complements to the artist!“
