- Stefano GuidolinAugust 29, 2014Best souvlaki and best pita in NYC! It's like being in Greece: simple, delicious and cheap.
Jane DongJanuary 4, 2015Get the combo meat plate for two - promise you won't regret it. There will be nothing left on the plate
Leah HammerschlagDecember 10, 2014Gyros and dips/spreads are delish (though gyro kind of small of $7). Feta fries are good, but you wish the cheese melted better.
Arnaud RéautéOctober 14, 2014Very good pita sandwiches with lots of fêta making it well flavoured. Greek fries are great!
Jonathan Libov July 25, 2015All the appetizers are great. You may even be better off making a meal out of them by ordering a bunch.
Di FraticelliApril 17, 2013This place is the best!!! Great food. Service was great. Came here for lunch. Sweet chica with short hair served us.
Kristin S.January 30, 2014So good and super cheap! Greek fries and souvlaki pitas - chicken or pork - highly recommended!
Celine GallianoAugust 29, 2017Everything is amazing! Pitas are my favorites with Greek salad and fries.
Alex YaleOctober 21, 2016Fava dip, Greek salad, and Greek burgers. All fresh and amazing. Quick friendly service!- Taste the most traditional Greek souvlaki and other delicious recipes of Greece in a place that is like being in Greece in NYC !!!!!
it's like you are in Mykonos !!! Anything you'll order will taste great (it's greek food folks)... just make sure you will enjoy the whole experience!
stephiedooJune 27, 2011The pork pita is delicious, and I'll eat cardboard if it's topped with their 4 feta cheese spread. Plus, love their restaurant theme and decor.
Harry JacobsAugust 11, 2016Mixed grill platter was great. Good amount of food for 2. Greek fries yum
Jason BrewDecember 17, 2015Good casual Greek restaurant on the Lower East Side. Surprisingly inexpensive!
Alexandra LevitasOctober 11, 2016The lamb kebab was great! Good meat in general. Very reasonably portioned and priced.
This place is awesome! The ambiance really makes you feel in greece! Service great and delicious food!
Lou CarulliJanuary 4, 2018Passed this place a few times. Went in for a drink and quick bite with Greek friends. They said it was on point!
Rutger van DillenFebruary 22, 2016The bifteki pita and souvlaki are awesome. Real great atmosphere as well.
Gellie ChayaMarch 26, 2016Tsaziki is off the chain. Gyros are on the smaller end, but for me it was perfectly portioned.
Aditya NafdeApril 14, 2014Greek fries sprinkled with feta cheese are amazing ; Also try their speciality drinks
Jessie CatanaApril 20, 2018went for a quick bite, got the chicken and lamb skewers which were both delish- Spotted by Locals - city guides by localsAugust 15, 2015
Calvin MultanenJune 7, 2015Cute, lively atmosphere. Food is delicious and good value. Definitely order the souvlaki
Francis UdlerSeptember 15, 2014Feels like Greece. Food is fresh and yummy. Pita entrees are on the small side.
Save room for the loukoumathes they are friggin delicious! (basically the Greek's version of a donut)
EileenJuly 8, 2018Chicken souvlaki was okay. I liked the lamb SGR souvlaki slightly better. Greek fries are what you’d expect based on the description
Michael MuseJuly 26, 2013Don't miss the 'Yaourti Sakoulas' yogurt with sour cherry - outstandingly tasty!
Tanuja PhadkeJuly 3, 2014This place made me love greek food!! 😊 definitely try the shrimp and pork souvlaki!!
Vivie BJanuary 10, 2012Decor really makes you feel like you're in Santorini or Mykonos... and they put french fries in the sandwiches (like they do in Greece)
Everything is good, down to the lowly Prasini salad. Should be simple to make myself and yet I MUST order it every chance I get.
Jihea ParkNovember 6, 2011Great Greek fries! On the bigger side. Their pitas are on the smaller side if you are a guy with a big appetite.
Pierre van MedgeAugust 8, 2014Cute little restaurant. The souvlaki here is close to the Greek original and very good.
The perfect meal for two: a box of skewers + prasini salad. Maybe a frappe if you need some caffeine!
Cindy DasilvaSeptember 14, 2011Best Greek Food in the city. The atmosphere is like taking a trip to Greece steps away from the clubs in the LES.
Jared RanereApril 15, 2012It's not easy to find cheap, tasty, low key sit-down restaurants on the LES and this place is all that.
Peep ClarpJune 26, 2019Impressively bad service, combined with sometimes edible food. Ugh. Check out their responses to reviews on other platforms and don’t support these people
Becca LevineSeptember 1, 2013This place actually feels and tastes like Greece. Hands down best Greek I've had in NYC.
