First time visiting this place and I was SATISFIED with everything. I had the lamb burger and let’s just say delicious,my drink was the painkiller which was also very nice. I will definitely be coming back here and very soon.

Let me start off by saying that me and my fiancé were so excited to try this place. We love tapas!!! I would give it a five star but I was quite disappointed with the hostess we had she had a very snappy not genuine and friendly attitude. She was I believe maybe of Asian descent. That doesn’t matter but I didn’t like her energy wasn’t welcoming. But I did love the food and the speakeasy type of secret bar area that was so cute. I also recommend their sister restaurant soul Gastro lounge.

Heard about this place from a friend and it definitely lived up to the expectation.Loved the cocktail lounge-vibe. I went on a Friday and there was a DJ when you first walk in. Loved the cocktail I ordered- the Southend T. Highly recommend, it wasn’t too sweet and had a creamy smoothness to the flavor. I’ve heard that if you sit at the bar or go on a weeknight you can get a nice craft cocktail experience that’s speakeasy style. Can’t wait to go back for this.If you’re not familiar with Plaza Midwood’s parking situation, I recommend parking on one of the neighborhood streets and walking a block or two to get there. This place is located on a corner right under Soul Gastrounge.

Awesome experience here! Came in and sat at the main bar first and had a cocktail on tap - super delicious. But I knew there was supposed to be a speakeasy type bar so asked to be seated there, and it was amazing. My husband and I both had custom cocktails made by the bartender. Such a cool vibe. We got 3 appetizers too and everything was great!

Got seated right away, then sat there for 20 minutes. No water, no drinks, no helo from a server, or I’ll be with you in just a minute…. Nothing. Tried to get attention but every employee walked around and wouldn’t make eye contact.The four of us got up and left. No idea what the food is like, don’t think I’ll ever bother trying to find out.Stay away, they don’t want you to go here.

Fantastic food! Mostly shareable dishes. DJ music created hip, club-like atmosphere but made conversation a bit difficult to hear at the table.

We love Mediterranean food. The Menu is filled with many unique dishes for foodies. The Poplies sandwich was incredible! I never knew how much I loved mushrooms until I tried this sandwich. The Athenian Gyros plate was a lot of food. Plenty to share! Only reason for 4 stars is the booths. They were extremely tight and not well suited for tall people with long legs. My husband left his legs outside the booth for our entire dinner. It would be much more comfortable if there was a bit more space when sitting at a booth all together.

The food and atmosphere are both off the charts delish! I’ve been to Greece, and the Athenian owner is a Greek and trained chef who knows how to give it to you good! The cocktails can be custom to your taste. I send my friends there on a regular basis, and they all give KiKi rave reviews. The edgy sophisticated elegance and Greek cuisine will transport you to a place you always wanted to visit. And you will want to again and again. You should go!

I tried this place based on the vegetarian and vegan options. However, This place was not worth all the hype and fell short of the food expectations!! The service was absolutely great but the food lacked in flavor, salt, spice and overall taste. The drinks we not all that amazing either. The only two items that were good, were the fries and dips. Maybe this place is better for those who order meat dishes because the vegetarian and vegan dishes weren't worth the price.

I have been there twice; once with my best friend for brunch and because of how amazing my experience was, again tonight for my moms birthday!!! Let me tell you, both times the food was impeccable and insanely delicious!! Plus our experience tonight was made that much better with perfect service. Mary is attentive and thoughtful! Honestly A+ across the board.Ps. My mom is vegetarian so I struggle to find places for her. We orders 8 dishes for 3 people including the dessert!! We definitely left stuffed and satisfied with just a few bites here and there leftover. Great place for sharing!! Will be back!

What a wonderful experience!! The roof top was just perfect to celebrate my moms birthday! Fantastic food and drinks!! Our server Mary was amazing!!!! I had two of the best things I have EVER eaten.... The Imam Bayldi and the baklava ice cream nest!!!!

We love Soul, so were very excited to try KiKi! We snagged reservations at Tattoo (cocktail bar within the restaurant), and after paying for a prix fixe menu on the reservation system, I inquired about the menu, etc. Restaurant was slow to reply, but did eventually let us know that the prix fixe wasn’t available... but no mention what (if any) menu we’d be able to order from, even after inquiring. We were sat in the doorway at Tattoo, and let our server know what flavors we enjoyed for craft cocktails. She was the only one working the bar, so it took some time for our drinks (~10-15 mins). Drinks were delicious and creative. We didn’t find anything on the menu (you can order from the Kiki menu - food or tap cocktails) that was too appealing, but settled for the feta and it was wonderful. With three other parties in Tattoo, once our drinks ran dry, it was 15-20 mins before we got another, which was very meh. We received two other spirits when our check arrived, and were at least glad the $60+ from the prix fixe menu reservation applied to the total bill. Overall, 4 cocktails, and 1 appetizer we spent $65 before tip. We would be back for a pre or post dinner cocktails, but doubt we would pick it for much else. Great concept and beautiful space, but need additional staff to execute.

Kiki is an amazing place. From the food and drink selection, ambience, and service, I was blown away. We were treated so well and I will most definitely return due to the exemplary management and waitstaff. The restaurant is also so nicely designed, not to mention their bar off to the side (Tattoo) and rooftop settings are awesome features, each of them so unique. I can’t wait to come back and try more of their food. The 3 spread starter (pictured) was scrumptious. Thank you thank you!!
