“First time there for myself. My wife had been there recently for lunch. OMG, amazing. We started with their homemade, warm Pita with Babaganush (sp?). Awesome. I had their Arugala salad, which I like wherever I go. This was amazing as well. Then we had our entrees. None of us could finish our meals, they were so plentiful and delicious. We each took home doggy bags. We told them we couldn’t possibly eat desserts so we ordered some to go. They then brought out hot Turkish teas for us AND a plate of a custard for us to share. Delicious!!! WOW! This place jumped right up near the top of our list for favorite restaurants. We will definitely be back.“

“After a cold and windy morning, not being able to get into one of the morning shows, we ran across this little restaurant by accident for brunch. They quickly welcomed us in with open arms and fresh hot coffee. It was one of the best brunches I've ever had, but what made it even more special was Joey the owner overheard our story, knowing we had a rough morning, and gifting us one of his comfort food cookbooks! The day couldn't have been any better. I can't wait to try one of his delicious Italian recipes this holiday season. I highly recommend the Little Owl. I certainly will be going back in the future!“

“Ended up watching the Knicks games here with friends. Everyone’s friendly. It was a warm environment and most importantly the food was nice. Chorizo croquettes are great. The mussels even better. Anytime I’m in the city I’ll stop by.“

“Where do I even begin? The pita? Perfect texture and taste. The cherry tomatoes? Obviously fresh, juicy, and sourced from a great farm. The romain? Plentiful and CRISP. The Dill and Taziki sauce? Also VERY fresh, has a citrus kick somewhere, and seems to be made fresh as well. Because it doesn't taste like a store bought sauce filled with preservatives. The hummus? That might actually be where the citrus is from. However, the hummus is not overly salty! You can actually taste the Chickpeas and they use good ingredients as well as olive oil for the hummus too! The chicken? Is in NO way shape or form dry and it's actually seasoned! It's juicy and normal is it overcooked. The olives? Brothers and sisters I HATE olives by themselves, rarely on certain foods. But these olives are not overpowering and stealing the flavor profile, it just adds more depth to the flavor bomb of the Greek chicken Pita! The feta? What could be bettah? Seriously though if you can see this picture you should've seen that they don't skip on the feta either. Again the flavor is ALL the way there but not overpowering. While the texture is almost creamy. Probably with assistance from the sauce but still, it's not overly dry! 10/10 Would recommend & I will be back! Now the facility was spotless, the cleanest "fast food" I've ever seen. The staff? Phenomenonal, personable, kind, attentive to details, and downright superstars that make that place run like clockwork! Wooooo wo weeeee wo!!! If you haven't been here then you've got to go!! Moderate prices, exceptional ingredients, lovely staff, and clean facilities(where the staff actually care like the NW Expressway location in OKC). I'm out, ty for listening to my Ted talk! 🫡“

“Absolutely loved our experience at Dodona Cafe! The food was absolutely delicious, the portions were generous, and everything arrived incredibly fast. Best of all, the food was served burning hot, which is surprisingly rare to find these days and made the meal even more enjoyable.

A special thank you to Lab and Ledio for their exceptional service. They were friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome throughout our visit. Their kindness and professionalism really stood out and made the experience even better.

We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Dodona Cafe to anyone looking for delicious food, generous portions, fast service, and outstanding hospitality!“

“Cute spot for an intimate dinner or sitting at the bar. I had bread with arahova feta butter, which was good. For the main, I had the cavatelli with pesto, which had nice strong notes of basil. My husband had the tagliolini al Amalfi limone, which had bright notes of lemon balanced with saltiness from the cheese. For dessert, we shared the dark chocolate mousse, which was delicious — rich, not too sweet, and ample portion for sharing. The cocktails are also good.

Service is very friendly.“

“I had an excellent experience at CAVA! The food was delicious. Thank you to Sandy, who made my first experience at Cava amazing. He was incredibly efficient, friendly, and attentive, making sure every customer was taken care of. His positive attitude and professionalism really stood out and made the experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back!“

“Truly, the most delicious burekas I have ever tasted!!! We went for the potato leek and spinach artichoke. Our selections were served hot and crispy, flanked by the delicious tastes and textures of pickles, olives, tahini, hot sauce and blended tomatoes. I needed to close my eyes to focus all of my attention on the magic in my mouth. Out of this world!“

“The hummus and Greek salad were delicious, but I was shocked to see how much plastic waste my small meal generated.

Even though I said I would dine in, they put my side dishes in a plastic take-out bag, together with forks and knives for TWO people, as well as no fewer than SIX plastic containers of dip and one of baklava, none of which I had asked for.“

“I went there with my boyfriend and his father during a trip in NYC and we weren’t disappointed. My boyfriend had the kofta kobab which had a very meaty texture. His father had the wild mushroom kobab and I took the braised "beef". Everything was delicious, including the dessert (ekmek kataifi) which wasn’t too sweet, just perfect 😊“

“Best place to eat a salad Nieve was the best.“

“We had a wonderful experience at Hayati Lounge, and a big part of that was thanks to Sami. From the moment we arrived, he was welcoming, friendly, and incredibly attentive. He made sure everything was perfect, checked on us throughout our meal, and provided excellent recommendations. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and Sami's outstanding customer service made our visit even more enjoyable. It's rare to find someone who genuinely cares about making guests feel valued, and Sami definitely does. We will definitely be coming back!“

“Top class place, friendly staff and great food and savage craic! Well worth a visit if you find your self in need of a pint and a shot!“

“If you’re in DUMBO, Brooklyn, you have to visit Meatup! The food was absolutely amazing — everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The meat was juicy, tender, and full of rich flavor. You can really tell they care about quality.

The atmosphere was cozy but modern, and the location in DUMBO makes it even better — such a nice area to walk around before or after your meal. The staff were super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

Honestly, one of the best spots for meat lovers in Brooklyn. I’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend 🤍“

“Very interesting and delicious food. Nice wine list. Highly reccomended it“

“The food is absolutely delicious! We ordered the mixed grill platter, and it was more than enough for two people. Everything was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I’ve been here several times and keep coming back because the food and service are consistently excellent. Highly recommend!“

“We’re going to menace in the wet village for years and years. I was walking to Hill‘s kitchen and here it is and I was lucky enough to get a table in the patio and a beautiful summer Saturday afternoon and I’m here different than the one downtown and great cocktails. OMG, OMG with yogurt mint amaze balls“

“The chicken shwarma and mint lemonade are DELICIOUS and so filling. Actually the best meal I literally eat this all the time. And the new place is so beautiful. The seating and decoration are very pretty. And the staff are so nice ! I went twice and one of the servers Litzie remembered my name :) which always feels nice. You can tell they work really hard to give a great experience every time you come.“

“Jack’s Wife Freda was a great casual brunch spot. The food was fresh and flavorful, with plenty of lighter options and a nice Mediterranean influence. The space is cozy and lively, though it can get crowded during busy hours. A good choice for breakfast or lunch when you’re in the area.“

“Beautiful corner restaurant with great lighting and even better food. The Georgian appetizers were all hits (especially the fried mushroom salad, beetroot hummus, and imeruli), and the service was diligent and warm. Super close to NJPAC, making it a great choice for a pre-theater dinner. Can’t wait to return!“

“Consistently quality, with outstanding flavor. Honest, authentic dishes, and delicious desserts. BYOB.“

“Great Mediterranean food 😋“
