“We would like to thank the Avra Team for the wonderful experience we had celebrating our son's 1 year old birthday and his grandparents 40th wedding anniversary. Beautiful place for special celebration! Sophisticated ambience, attentive staff, exceptional service, delicious Greek food! We highly recommend making reservation in advance!“

“Finally! A delicious traditional lamb gyro! These are surprisingly hard to find in Manhattan. I’ve been craving a traditional gyro for a while but didn’t want to drive 1-2 hours roundtrip from Manhattan to Astoria/Queens. This place hit the spot and I would return!“

“My oh my, what a delicious meal. I have never had better flatbread in my life. The small salad with gyro was more than enough for a meal. And my favorite dessert- Galaktoboureko!!! I’m so happy I had dinner here.“

“Awesome food presentation and ambiance! A definite “go back to again”!“

“food was great, everything else is average.
Bad suction system in the restaurant, you smell like kitchen after leaving. The bathrooms were dirty, place overall lacks some energy. Boring atmosphere comparing to the other Mediterranean restaurants in the city. The food was great tho“

“I had a great experience at Sea Salt. Our server, Ozzy, was friendly, attentive, and made excellent menu suggestions. The Lamb was cooked perfectly, and the appetizers were rich and flavorful. We ended with a delicious desert platter that Ozzy recommended.
Overall, the food was excellent, the atmosphere was warm, and the service from Ozzy made the anfternoon even better. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Had a lovely meal to celebrate my 50th birthday, the food was so good and the service was fantastic, I would highly recommend“

“Their lamb/beef gyro was really good. The bowl was stuffed! The wait was a bit long though, almost 25+ minutes just to get to order, and sometimes other people (I assume related) just cut in to throw in 5 or 10 other orders. The food came out very fast at least and I enjoyed my bowl. I see they have an online ordering site, so I may try that next time to reduce the wait. Would love to try the other items.“

“The moussaka is the best I have ever had by a landslide and one of my favorite dishes ever. I have ordered it probably 100 times and it never disappoints. The gigantes are scrumptious. Better of either those dishes would not be found in Greece. The atmosphere is simple because this isn't a fancy restaurant, but it is pleasant.“

“I love Pi I enjoy getting my Greek frappe and other coffees from Pi. The pastries are exceptional and if you want to have lunch, you can also have fantastic Greek dishes. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable of the coffees and food that they serve. I go to Pi every time I’m in that neighborhood.“

“Everything was delicious and fresh. We have been to Tino's a couple of times before, and every meal has been fantastic. I had the seafood risotto, and it was flavorful. My husband had the chicken, and he was impressed with the tenderness of the chicken breast. For appetizers, we had the grilled octopus, spanakopita, and assorted dips with pita - all great!“

“First time here but will be back again and again. The food the ambiance the staff perfection. you feel like you're in Greece. the saladS are big and delish. 4 of us went and all loved their dishes. highly recommend. New fave. Yes a little pricey but worth it“

“I came here for the chicken cheeseburger and fries, and both were really good -fresh, flavorful, and just the kind of comfort food you want. The service was friendly and the place feels cozy, nothing fancy but nice quality. I also tried the baklava since they didn’t have cheesecake that day. It was okay, maybe 6/10, not something I’d order again. But for sure, if you come here, get the chicken cheeseburger with fries , that’s the real highlight“

“Whoa! The food was amazing! Im pescatarian, so I had the fish, and it was delicious. Everything was so fresh. There was a humus plate with 3 different flavors, and the cucumbers were beautifully decorated around them. I must have eaten all of the cucumbers. In some restaurants, a fresh cucumber can be hard to come by. The fish arrived on a bed sautéed spinach, WOW ❤️❤️. The sliced pita bread with the humus was addictive. I definitely ate way more than I should have. While I dont eat meat, the other folks I was dining with said the chicken and beef options were just as delicious. It was family style, so we had lots of options. The restaurant is small but quaint, and the customer service was amazing. The food came out quickly, and there were about 13 of us. We had a reservation for 1 pm on a Thursday, and it was not crowded.

There isn't a lot of space to move around, so I would be conscious of carrying large bags or strollers.“

“Awesome food presentation and ambiance! A definite “go back to again”!“

“The most delicious Greek food! From the hummus to the baklava, it was probably the best food we’ve had outside of Greece itself!!!“

“A great place to dine if you like fine Greek cuisine. 👍 Great atmosphere too! Good attentive, service“

“Amazing customer service and the food is phenomenal! Authentic Greek cuisine at its finest!! Definitely recommend!“

“Being seated by the bathroom and bar away from the main dining area and everyone else despite having a reservation for a dining table was not something we appreciated. I'm guessing it's because we had shopping bags or because we weren't dressed the part or both? Who knows Otherwise the food and service were excellent“

“Couples POV: She loved the fast service, decorations and how flavorful the food was. While I appreciated getting a table quickly, being served without a long wait, and feeling like the meal was worth paying for. Overall, it was authentic, flavorful, a great experience that kept both of us happy, and we’d definitely come back.“

“Food is really good! Comparably priced to most of the fast casual restaurants in midtown area. Got the Piato both times, and the potatoes are great as a base. Chicken is crispy and nice, and the Bambi and Greek Salads are fire. Service is really really good too, and personally get a kick out of the door to the basement being covered by the trash can lol.

Def recommend for lunch / dinner!“

“Enjoyed dinner at Anatoli last night for the first time and had a wonderful meal! I am gluten free, so the gf pita and options were so nice to have and tasted delicious. Can’t remember the last time I could eat a gyro! Looking forward to going back.“

“Came here on a Saturday at 4 pm . Was pretty dead . Not sure why . The atmosphere, service, food was AMAZING. From the octopus appy & feta dip , to all entrees was so delicious, especially the seafood pasta dish . The balaclava was to die for …. Highly recommend this wonderful friendly restaurant to any foodie looking for an exquisite meal . ♥️“

“Good food !!! Nice atmosphere ! Cocktails a must !“

“I never leave reviews, but this place really impressed me! Pappas New York has incredible Greek food — the lamb chops were tender and full of flavor, and the lobster pasta was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was great, and the staff went above and beyond. Especially Joni, who took amazing care of our table last Saturday — super attentive, professional and friendly the whole night. Don't want to forget the sparkling guy Jerry, he was amazing. Definitely one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in New York!“

“Best Greek food in nyc Worth the lines“

“Behind the unassuming food truck is some excellent greek food, with personable service..so glad my office is right next to it. Had lamb souvlaki (only meat) before and today had pork souvlaki (only meat) and both were grilled to perfection, fresh, juicy and perfectly spiced. So, thank you - I'm looking forward to trying other stuff.“

“I know this place has been well known for a long time but I was really impressed. Every dish we had was the best version of Greek I’ve ever had. Not to mention the food came out incredibly fast. The carafe of white wine was also a surprise it drank like golden water. Great spot.“

“Πολυ ωραίο φαγητό και εξαιρετικό το σέρβις“

“Ever since I found this place, its the ONLY place around work I’ll go to for lunch. I once had something pop up immediately after picking up my greek salad there, and only had a chance to eat 7 hours later, after it had turned into a soggy mess. You know what: IT STILL BANGED! Deeply loyal, 10/10, two thumbs up, enthusiastically recommend“

“This is my dream diner. Breakfast is my favorite meal and Madison delivers. Many other reviewers complained about the prices. The prices may be slightly higher ($2-$3?) than other places but you get what you pay for. First, the place is immaculate. Everything shines like a mirror. Second, the food is cooked by a certain kind of professional. I'll compare to another cafe nearby that offers a load of grease with your food. Not here. My hash browns were crispy, fluffy, perfect. Eggs, again perfection. The coffee was not as good as it could be (Lavazza please), but more than drinkable. I'm thinking of moving to NYC. Now I'm looking near The Madison as I'll spend most of my mornings there.“

“5 stars!! Every time I come my favorite girl is there.The brown skin girl Monae or Monet she needs a raise lol !. Customer service is phenomenal and she’s very sweet , always makes sure me and my daughter is taken care of. Love The Gyro Project please keep her - Annabelle R“

“Great Greek food, friendly staff. Nice atmosphere and very reasonably priced. Our new favorite restaurant when visiting NYC.“

“A friend brought us here for dinner. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. There were many food choices and felt a bit intimidating but the staff walked us beautifully to a phenomenal experience. The wine choices were great. Don’t miss this gem if you travel to NYC.“

“We had the pleasure of dining in your restaurant last week, We instantly loved the mediterranean style atmosphere of your place. We had the best server we could have asked for named, Martina, she was friendly and had a great sense of humor, Her menu knowledge was excellent, She recommended the Duck and Short Ribs, which were excellent. Full of flavor. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience with great food and nice, friendly staff. Lloyd Hartford“

“The food was pretty good. It’s a good takeout option. For a dine in experience, it leaves much to be desired. It felt like ordering from a virtual food court. Everything comes packaged in to-go packaging and your drink comes from a cooler (canned drinks, etc).“

“Great greek food. You don’t have to travel to Greece to get something authentic greek.I fond of the greek food, but many taverns just cannot bring the taste and atmosphere I expect. This place is amazing.We tasted all traditional foods and all tasted as per our expectations, which is very rare.“

“I had such a wonderful experience here! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and full of quality ingredients. The service was just as impressive: the staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made me feel welcome without ever being intrusive.

The atmosphere was perfect — warm, inviting, and comfortable, with just the right balance between lively and relaxing. Whether you’re coming for a casual meal or a special night out, this place really delivers on both great food and a great vibe.

Highly recommend and definitely looking forward to coming back!“

“I ordered catering for delivery to a nearby university for a post-seminar lunch. The quantity & quality of food exceeded my expectations. The staff were very satisfied with their meal! Yia Yia's staff were very communicative to ensure a great catering experience.“

“You guys make the best mousakka hands down!!! Im always impressed every time!!! Lemon potatoes are so delicious 10/5 stars for me!!! Thank you!“

“we had the house white wine, carbonara,, and the gyro plate. we had no complaints. service was great food and wine were delicious and it came out quickly. highly recommend.“
