“This is by far one of my fave gems of New York City!As someone who’s not so big on Greek food except if directly from Greece ?? itself, this place has quality food choices period‼️By now, since this wasn’t my first time here, I can almost say I’ve eaten every appetizer available on the menu ? today me and my pals had a buffet style dinner of continuous food.Each appetizer, including new things I had never tasted, melted in my mouth with deliciousness. ??The staff overall were pleasant and our servers could have been more attentive but… nothing to be sour about. It’s never easy to tend to large crowds of people with various demands at each turn.The food here is a MUST have! This place has been a staple of soho for years, and it’s no wonder why ?Thanks for another YUMMY dinner!xx @MsRextiVegetarian options: Non meaty options“

“As always Elea, great service, great food! Our server was Christina, who was very friendly with a smile on her face which made our experience even better. As a Greek, I love Elea, it is my go to restaurant and I introduce to all my friends.“

“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!“

“What a fabulous experience we had! The food was simply amazing and fresh and perfectly prepared. The service was excellent and the restaurant itself is beautiful! I wish I had taken more pictures but I think the fact that I didn’t just proves how immersed our group was in the experience. Simply devine and I cannot wait to return next time I’m in the city!Dietary restrictions: We had someone in our party who was gluten free and they took good care of her and she had plenty of options to choose from.“

“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.“

“We arrived just before closing with 18 minutes to spare. The food was tasty and delicious. From the Zucchini chips, to the grilled Branzino everything was stellar. The Greek salad was just as expected and transported us back to the coast of Mykonos.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Milos is a very good restaurant but a meal is distracted by the high noise level and very high prices especially for whole fish entrees. But the restaurant was fully crowded so my comments may be singular. PS, oysters and live scallops were best we've had.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Haven't been here in years - randomly walked by today and shockingly no line so I had to take advantage. Chicken over rice w the works (beans, onions, salad, hot and tzatziki sauces. Better than I remembered. $14 so a little steep but very tasty.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Fabulous food and ambiance. Loved the private tables in the back! Had a lovely, quiet meal for 6 people and could actually hear each other. Highly recommend! Large portions. Easy to share, esp the souvlaki minis as apps. The Pasta Santorini with the zucchini spirals was excellent. Prompt, attentive, and friendly service. Put sparklers in our birthday cake! Very fun!“

“You will love this cozy, family style restaurant. Our server Antonia was fantastic. The atmosphere in general is very welcoming and relaxing with an upscale of class and uniqueness to their food. Try the crab cakes, delicious. For a moment, you may feel as if you are seated near the coast in Greece because of the decorative style and settings. I am looking forward to reliving the experience.“

“Lokal was an absolute delight! We'd had a long day (with three kids) at the museum and needed to have a break with good eats. Not only did Lokal provide that but it was all better than imagined. We had the stuffed red peppers (our favorite dish) it was so refreshing with the lemon yogurt. We had hummus which paired fantastic with their house bread. The kids got chicken tenders and pizza. They loved it and we loved sneaking bites. I had the avocado tomato salad with grilled salmon: wow! A delight! So fresh and filling! My husband had the lamb burger with feta cheese. He devoured it. We all shared some baklava and the grownups a delicious cup of espresso. If we weren't leaving NYC, we'd totally return for *several* more meals. Perfect staff deserves a shout out as well.“

“Simply exquisite. Stumbled upon this gem almost by accident. I had Googled Mediterranean near me, to find Nerai was only 3 blocks away. I was a bit apprehensive that we’d be able to find a table on a Saturday night without a reservation, but the happily accommodated our party of four. My simple review will not do this place justice. The dishes were beautiful and delicious. In addition, the service was excellent.“

“I decided to come to Milo's based on a recommendation. It's weird for me to eat in midtown because I truly hate the location. The restaurant is huge and beautiful. A little overwhelming for my liking and very corporate. The service was great, there were at least 3 waiters attending to us at all times. One waiter brought us over to the fish section to choose the fish of our liking. I think it's a nice touch but very overpriced. We chose the scallops and they were delicious. We ordered the crab cake, octopus and oysters. Honestly, probably one of the best oysters I've had. The octopus and crab cake was also delicious. The only negative on the crab cake was that there were many shells left inside. We ordered a mezcal drink from their cocktail specials and that was not great at all. We are definitely mezcal drinkers and it just wasn't there. We switched our drinks for wine and that was MUCH better. I would definitely go back for wine and a oyster happy hour!“

“Came here on a rainy day with some friends for a quick casual bite before an event. This place is conveniently located near multiple subway lines. It's located on a smaller street but seems to still be very popular. Seating was all high top seating with one large table and a couple of tables for four people and then another line of stools against the window. There is a bathroom for customers. Food was pretty good, note that this is a vegetarian place. Salad was served in a very large portion and delicious. The falafel was yummy and not too dry. They also have spicy falafel! That was new to me but definitely worth a try if you like having a kick to your food.“

“Their stuff is off the HOOK! I've been getting mostly chicken and pork sticks either on a platter or as a sandwich, and they's always been great, for some reason I hadn't tried the Lamb until today, OMG, one of th best Gyros I've ever had. The only complaint I have is if you get there at the wrong time the line gets pretty long, but that's just a testament as to how good their stuff really is! Keep up the great work!“

“I've been to this bakery at least 100+ times. This is the real deal in every way. Now for those people that have never worked in a bakery you cannot fully understand how difficult it is.The food and deserts here are top notch. I will say sometimes the service may seem lacking but I Can assure you it's not personal. They are exhausted from all the hard work that goes into putting out this great product.Please know you will not get better Greek baked goods in NYC!I approve this message.Helen Thorne“

“We always enjoy Barbounia, although this was our first time for brunch. The hostess was a big short and unfriendly and the primary waitstaff was fairly inattentive. The other staff, however, was great. While it is loud, we love the ambiance and energy. And the food is always great.“

“Been here once before and I think it was better this time. They make a great gyro and it is authentic too. Love the french fries in the gyro. All flavors just worked. The spinach pie was good but nothing special. The haloumi appetizer was good too. Being Cypriot I know halloumi well and they did it right. This is a solid spot and I would come back in a heartbeat.“

“Same operation as the famed Astoria eatery and just as good if not better, in a way. Decor was fresh and rather East village, the menu was varied and true to the Astoria precedent, and the wait staff was friendly and accommodating. I opted for two vegetarian appetizers as my meal on my companion hub roasted chicken with rice. All was thoughtfully prepared and presented. I would highly recommend this place for a date night or just a quick stop for nutrition. Delightful in every way! Will definitely be coming back.Vegetarian options: The crispy veggie chips were delicious as was the tzatziki which accompanied them. The spanakopita was traditional and flavorsome!“

“This is a restaurant specializing in grilled chicken. I have only gotten takeouts from here so I cannot speak to what the restaurant atmosphere is like. The food portion is generous an prices are reasonable for the neighborhood. I usually get the half chicken. The chicken seasoning is good and I like the smoky grill flavor, but I find that the meat can be quite dry and tough.“
