The hummus and Greek salad were great appetizers - highly recommend as starters to share!
Elizabeth BursteinMay 11, 2019
Delicious chicken souvloki, spanakopita, and skewer . Could have skipped the house wine
Celine GallianoAugust 29, 2017
Everything is amazing! Pitas are my favorites with Greek salad and fries.

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.

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!
Arnaud RéautéOctober 14, 2014
Very good pita sandwiches with lots of fêta making it well flavoured. Greek fries are great!

Parham HaghighiApril 9, 2017
Biftaki Souvlaki and Ouzo!! The best greek food i have had !
Alex YaleOctober 21, 2016
Fava dip, Greek salad, and Greek burgers. All fresh and amazing. Quick friendly service!

Plenty o feta & pita! Taste/health: meatballs: 8.25/6, sv pita 9/6: salad 7.5/8, Greek fries: 7/5, zucchini balls 8.5/6.75. Strong drinks!
Kristin S.January 30, 2014
So good and super cheap! Greek fries and souvlaki pitas - chicken or pork - highly recommended!
Jane DongJanuary 4, 2015
Get the combo meat plate for two - promise you won't regret it. There will be nothing left on the plate
Martin S.November 28, 2015
Really authentic. The staff speaks too much Greek to each other which can lead to awkward situations when they don't think you speak it as well. :D
Calvin MultanenJune 7, 2015
Cute, lively atmosphere. Food is delicious and good value. Definitely order the souvlaki
Leah HammerschlagDecember 10, 2014
Gyros and dips/spreads are delish (though gyro kind of small of $7). Feta fries are good, but you wish the cheese melted better.
Alexandra LevitasOctober 11, 2016
The lamb kebab was great! Good meat in general. Very reasonably portioned and priced.
Rutger van DillenFebruary 22, 2016
The bifteki pita and souvlaki are awesome. Real great atmosphere as well.

The perfect meal for two: a box of skewers + prasini salad. Maybe a frappe if you need some caffeine!
stephiedooJune 27, 2011
The 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.
Jessie CatanaApril 20, 2018
went for a quick bite, got the chicken and lamb skewers which were both delish
Tushar GogiaJuly 25, 2013
Try their dips- hummus, eggplant and garlic were our three choices.
Harry JacobsAugust 11, 2016
Mixed grill platter was great. Good amount of food for 2. Greek fries yum
Kartik SathappanJune 22, 2014
The honey jack lemonade is delicious- a strong summer cocktail.
David MilbergMay 4, 2016
Love the tzatziki! Highly recommend it.
Di FraticelliApril 17, 2013
This place is the best!!! Great food. Service was great. Came here for lunch. Sweet chica with short hair served us.
Vivie BJanuary 10, 2012
Decor really makes you feel like you're in Santorini or Mykonos... and they put french fries in the sandwiches (like they do in Greece)
 Jonathan Libov July 25, 2015
All the appetizers are great. You may even be better off making a meal out of them by ordering a bunch.
Aditya NafdeApril 14, 2014
Greek fries sprinkled with feta cheese are amazing ; Also try their speciality drinks
Francis UdlerSeptember 15, 2014
Feels like Greece. Food is fresh and yummy. Pita entrees are on the small side.
Gellie ChayaMarch 26, 2016
Tsaziki is off the chain. Gyros are on the smaller end, but for me it was perfectly portioned.
Tanuja PhadkeJuly 3, 2014
This place made me love greek food!! 😊 definitely try the shrimp and pork souvlaki!!
Claudia Dalla TorreJanuary 5, 2016
The hummus and spinach pie are Devine!

From the Greek salad to the skewers, everything is great here.
IrinaJanuary 16, 2017
These French fries with feta.. oh my!!
EileenJuly 8, 2018
Chicken souvlaki was okay. I liked the lamb SGR souvlaki slightly better. Greek fries are what you’d expect based on the description
Pierre van MedgeAugust 8, 2014
Cute little restaurant. The souvlaki here is close to the Greek original and very good.
Kate FurmanOctober 5, 2014
Open late and they offer takeout! Try the Greek salad with your souvlaki.
Cindy DasilvaSeptember 14, 2011
Best Greek Food in the city. The atmosphere is like taking a trip to Greece steps away from the clubs in the LES.
Lauren SchoenfeldMarch 14, 2015
I love everything about this place. Good food staff atmosphere
Michael MuseJuly 26, 2013
Don't miss the 'Yaourti Sakoulas' yogurt with sour cherry - outstandingly tasty!
Wejdan ✨December 14, 2014
Yummy and cheap! $6 for the single wrap!
FionaJune 3, 2015
Definitely order shrimp souvlaki. Skip the cocktails and just order wine!
Jihea ParkNovember 6, 2011
Great Greek fries! On the bigger side. Their pitas are on the smaller side if you are a guy with a big appetite.
Julianna YankApril 26, 2016
Get the chicken souvlaki or the burger sandwich with extra sauce :)!

Its like you walk in the streets of Mykonos ( matogiannia) !! The best souvlaki in New York !!
Becca LevineSeptember 1, 2013
This place actually feels and tastes like Greece. Hands down best Greek I've had in NYC.
Jared RanereApril 15, 2012
It's not easy to find cheap, tasty, low key sit-down restaurants on the LES and this place is all that.
