The food at Village Café was very good, and the service was excellent. However, the portion sizes don’t justify the prices. You leave feeling like you paid too much for too little. Worth visiting for quality, but the value needs improvement. We won’t be back!

Tiny portions and plus they overcharged me. I wanted to give them second chance but I will never go there again

The food is truly exceptional. I had the lamb ribs and they were next level. Highly recommend checking out just be sure to bring your own beer.

Food was okay but they charge for bread ive been to so many restaurants this is the first time Ive been charged for asking extra bread.

Whenever I visited New York City, this place used to be one of my go-to spots because of the food quality and reasonable pricing. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was a major disappointment.
I went with my family and a friend, and we ordered three Lula Kebabs. Without asking us, all the food was served on a single plate. Because of that, the portion of rice was noticeably smaller than what is normally provided. Paying $17 for a very small Lula Kebab plate with barely any rice, $7 for a single 0.5-liter drink, and $15–$17 for house fries felt extremely overpriced and unjustified.
What made it worse is that we actually left the restaurant still hungry. We then went to Opera Cafe Lounge, where we had an excellent experience—great food, a lively atmosphere, and plenty of guests enjoying themselves. In contrast, there were no other customers dining inside your restaurant when we arrived, which now makes sense.
Unfortunately, due to this experience, you have lost my business.

Food was okay but this place is insanely expensive. They charged us for pickles and bread! They would have charged us for the lemon in our water if I didnt put ip a fuss.
Insanely prices.

I came for an interview and it was the most unprofessional experience I’ve had in NYC. The ‘interview’ was held publicly in the dining area, with staff and customers watching — no privacy, no professionalism. One man even touched me during the conversation, which is completely unacceptable.
This is not a workplace — it’s a chaotic, bazaar-style environment with zero culture, zero respect, and no sense of proper management. If you value professionalism, safety, and basic human respect, do not come here — either to work or to eat.

It's not tasty and they didn't give me a receipt, that's weird.
