I have been to this particular restaurant many times, often before a show in the neighborhood. I came here with three other people on a Sunday night at 7pm in mid March. I got a reservation on Open table the day before pretty easily. Plan to have a reservation before dining as I have never seen the place anything but packed.The service at this restaurant can be very slowly and the size of the restaurant is uncomfortably cramped; however, none of that matters because the food is incredible. It is some of the best Greek food I have ever tried in Manhattan. I particularly love the Souvlaki pitas. My husband loves the Bifteki Gemisto. The prices are moderate for the quality of quantity of food they provide.I would definitely recommend this restaurant and cannot wait to go back. I will never say no to dining here.Vegetarian options: Better vegetarian options than I've seen at most Greek restaurants.
It was fun to have a dinner in this loud and busy place. I liked the atmosphere, friendly and welcoming. I had moussaka for my tea, it was good.

Ordered delivery from this restaurant.I don't know what it was but both my wife and I had tummy aches after eating their dinner. She had a Greek salad with koftaAnd I had skirt steak with spinach salad.Let me tell you, both of the salads were drenched in vinegar, the steak was hard and chewy, and I had to take off the next day as I threw up and felt nauseous almost a whole day. Unfortunately I couldn't eat anything the next day as my stomach still felt raw. I don't know what it was if it was the salad dressing or the steak but it was a bad experience unfortunately.

Here is a simple restaurant with a nice atmosphere to "cool down" from the frenzy of NY, eat something good with typically Mediterranean flavors and not messed up with a thousand sauces, fresh vegetables at affordable prices. Here is a little place in the Times Square area where you can spend a pleasant evening. Highly recommended for a non-New York evening in Mediterranean style. Adequate menu and friendly staff. I would go back
This place is the best and most authentic tasting food I have had on the way coast being Greek myself and growing up in Greece I can tell you the food tastes smells and looks authentic, the staff is awesome, friendly very attentive will be back for lunch tomorrow !

Great Greek Food with a beautiful atmosphere. Only issue was that the seating is very tight and not much room to move in and out.

Food was very good and we were served pretty good, my party enjoyed it. At the end i added a tip of my choosing and while I was leaving i was stopped to pay more for gratuity. This is very unprofessional and an incorrect thing to do if gratuity is first of all optional. Be aware of this.

The atmosphere is nice and the staff is friendly. However, the sausage and meat I ate were really delicious, but it was a bit greasy so I couldn't eat much. Still, I'm glad I got the leftovers packaged. I'll have sausage for breakfast tomorrow too.

I've been to the LES location a few years ago and remember liking it. For this girls' night, we picked this location because it was more convenient for everyone. Our party of 5 had 7 PM ressos for a Friday night. The tables are pretty tight, especially since we were seated at a location meant for 4 people. We also ordered quite a few dishes, so it was a little difficult to manuever everything and make room for the next dish. We shared:-The Soutzoukaki Pitza (homemade meatballs cooked in traditional tomato sauce drizzled with yogurt sauce) - although not authentic Greek food, I really liked this mashup and I love me a pizza. The meatballs were really good-Greek salad - a bit too much feta but fine overall. We just needed some greens to go with our meal-Hand-cut Greek fries - these weren't bad but I typically don't like hand cut because of the potato skins-Grilled octopus - this was my favorite of the night. Octopus can be chewy but it tasted fresh and was perfectly cooked in this case-Psita tis Oras Poikilia (mixed grilled meat platter) - this comes with lambchops, Greek sausage, chicken, pork, beef skewers, with pita and tzatziki. I liked the sausage and the pork the best-Branzino - this was also good. Seems they do seafood well hereOverall, it is on the pricier side but as my Mama always says - you get what you pay for.
