Everything was absolutely delicious. Staff was friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back!!
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.

One of my favorite restaurants in the city. This is truly a hidden gem. Food, service and price are all great here. This restaurant is not too busy as the nearby sucursal but I think is a tad better

From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by a warm and cozy atmosphere. The restaurant truly feels like a little piece of Greece in NYC.
The service was good. Our server was friendly and recommended the weekly deal which was hard to pass up! For just $30 per person, you get an appetizer, entrée, and dessert.
The avgolemono soup was absolutely phenomenal. Very comforting and perfectly balanced with lemony notes that tied all the flavors together beautifully.
The tyrokroketes started off delicious however, the aftertaste was a bit strong. If kefalotyri was one of the cheeses used, that would explain the sharpness. While not my personal favorite, it was still enjoyable overall and the dip made it much better.
The lamb chops were outstanding, perfectly marinated and full of flavor, paired with fries that were extra crispy and seasoned just right.
Unfortunately, the moussaka was extremely disappointing. Every bite was so bland. The béchamel sauce lacked flavor. I expected at least a hint of nutmeg. The ground beef was unseasoned, and the eggplant felt simply tossed in the casserole rather than properly being fried first, leaving it tasteless. Overall, the dish fell flat and in desperate need of more thoughtful preparation. But I don’t think it reflects the menu as a whole, since the other dishes we ordered were excellent.
As for the baklava, absolutely freaking DELICIOUS!! This is potentially the best baklava I’ve ever had, even better than the Lebanese version. The honey and walnut mix so well with the crunchiness of the pastry. Definitely a must have!
Another great restaurant week find. Wonderful wines.

I tried the pita bread wrap with chicken and pork skewer. Taste good and great portion. Was also given pita pieces on the side. Very nice staff, great place for lunch.

Everything about our experience here was so so amazing. The second we walked in the door all the servers were so warm and welcoming. When ordering our food they were incredibly patient despite being very busy and took the time to answer any questions we had and talk to us about Greek culture and cuisine. The food felt like a homecooked meal and I would not be surprised if there was someone's grandmother in the kitchen doing all the cooking. On top of all this, the feta....it changed my life. I am not sure where they get it from but I could eat it with a spoon from the jar. Highly, highly, highly recommend this restaurant.

Piece of authentic Greece in the Midtown Manhattan! Greek Salad and Spanakopita are REALLY WORTH DYING FOR! Friendly staff, amazing service.
As for Souvlakis, come on guys! You could do better! Bifteki was dry. Pork souvlaki could have been more prepared. Same goes to lamb souvlaki.
Overall, positive experience!
Celebrated my birthday dinner! Always a fun experience. Everything is delicious and the service is amazing. Lamb chops, skewers, salads!
Great atmosphere. Highly recommend
