“Gigis somehow manages to be an elevated lunch experience while also being fast and casual. Their food is delicious and portions are generous. I love how they give you limited toppings and after eating here 2x a week since they opened I’m still not tired of it! Very friendly staff, incredibly clean and well-maintained eating area. Altogether an excellent value. If you haven’t tried Gigis, give it a shot. You won’t be disappointed. Love this place.“

“The best Albanian food in NY😋👌“

“I attended a surprise party this Saturday evening. The cuisine was preselected, waiter service was excellent, should receive raises. The table arrangement was very poor. The party was downstairs in one of the private rooms. We were 25 people at one very long table, basically the length of the room, which made it difficult for guests to get around the seated persons at the head of the table on either side. Having two tables would have been a better arrangement, but one long table was not conducive for conversation since we were so far from the other end of the table. The food; not many complaints, I really didn’t have a problem. I didn’t have a lot of food, but it was delicious. The dessert, sorry not very good. Those Famous Crepes(palacinkes) sorry not that great. A lot of crepe and not a lot of filling. The dish was served with fruit, unfortunately this fruit was not in season, so the watermelon although it added color to the dish, upon tasting it, left much to be desired. Why not serve fruit that is in season? No offense to my party hosts who selected my menu for the evening, it didn’t lend itself to the 5 Star Reputation of Dubrovnik’s. I would like to make reservations and splurge on a dinner on my own, I have a feeling I would LOVE the experience! Btw, another plus was the parking!“

“Fantastic food. Caring service by staff. Excellent menu recommendations. Do not miss the pulled brisket. Paprika bakes their own delectable bread. Anticipating future visits.“

“This is my favorite Cava to go to by far !! Very fast line and the employees are the best. The food always tastes fresh and the portions are awesome. Ps. The pita chips are a must everytime“

“Fantastic food! Great value for money. I haven't had Persian food this good since I lived in Manhattan. WOW!!!“

“The shawarma here is leagues better than anything I’ve ever had in the NY area. The service is outstanding; the owner invited us in while we were waiting for our friends to arrive, and gave us free samples of their delicious falafel. As for cleanliness, the place was virtually spotless. In a region where the closest thing we have to shawarma is usually “gyro meat” (slices off of a cone of pre-ground mystery meat with all kinds of fillers), having an authentic shawarma place nearby is wonderful.“

“The food is delicious. Very courteous and friendly staff. Definitely recommend!“

“Great seafood nice people“

“Best authentic Greek in NYC. Top notch service. Thank you for the complimentary desserts!!“

“I had a very nice dinner with my friend and next time, we are bringing more friends to have fun here.“

“The food is great…specially the Grill Octopus 🐙 👍👍“

“The Koshari! Will go back again for sure!“

“This place is such a gem! Used to live super close but now it’s a little bit of a trek but absolutely worth it. I have tried most of the menu and everything is always great and fresh. During this visit I opted for the combination pita sandwich (shawarma and falafel). I also highly recommend the spinach pie, lentil soup and Jerusalem falafel sandwich (a vegetarian option stuffed with all kinds of delicious goodies). Owner is warm and friendly, always makes us feel so welcome. Prices are great! Only drawback is there isn’t too much seating but when the weather is nice there are a few tables outside (pict so you can see). Highly, highly recommend!“

“The food & the service are both amazing.“

“Love the food specially the desserts!“

“We’ve been obsessed with this place for the past couple months, the food is amazing I highly recommend it! The salito fries, cheesesteak and the mixed platters are my forever go to! If you’re ever close to this place please check it out!! ❤️“

“Moved to Irvington 2 years ago & its my go to restaurant , great food, the BEST drinks & amazing service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Jap konsideraten dhe rekomandimin me te larte per Nana’s Kitchen ne adresen 1809 Hone ave, Bronx NY per varietete e shumllojshme te ushqimeve tradicionale Shqiptare, per te cilat une se bashku me nje grup shokesh prej 15 vetash shijuam fundjaven e shkuar. Gjeta pas 23 vjetesh ku pergatisin ushqimin ne taven e balte, e po ashtu provuam mish qengji te pjekur, pace, qofte te zgares, sallate fshati e buken qe ne shqiptaret e duam shume qe e pergatisnin vete si dhe u embelsuam me bakllavane plot shije. Sherbimi ishte shembullor dhe lokali ishte i dekoruar me shije duke ruajtur traditen Shqiptare. Falenderojme pronarin Landi Kodra per kenaqesine qe na dha per disa ore ne restorantin e tij. Se shpejti TV Alba Life do te sjelle edhe nje kronike me te plote rreth ketij restorani dhe pershtypjet edhe te klienteve te tjere.“

“Delicious, healthy, and fresh food. One of my favorite restaurants. Great for taking out when you don’t feel like cooking lunch or dinner, or for dining in. Good vegetarian options too. And my absolute favorite frozen yogurt. Nothing compares to it. So good.“

“Atik Restaurant offers an unforgettable dining experience where exceptional cuisine meets artistry. The food and drinks are crafted with remarkable quality, while the ambience—complete with enchanting lights and graceful dancers—feels truly magical. Conveniently located with nearby parking, it’s the perfect setting for a special occasion. Highly recommended.“

“The whole vibe with Greek auntie felt like I was actually in Greece . All that was missing was the Aperol spritz. The food was incredible and while we had to wait to get a table the wait is worth it. Everything is cooked with love and you can tell. I recommend the branzino .“

“Muy buena atención y la comida excelente“

“Man get down here ASAP. I am the Biggest food snob. This place rocks. Johnny Mac YouTubes Cook it with Johnny Mac“

“Delicious food, fun decor and ambience, not too loud so you can hear people at your table but not too quiet where it feels you can hear others' conversations. Our waitress was excellent. There was a mix up with one of the orders and she sorted it out right away! The space is cozy but feels open with lots of windows. I shall return to try their chicken not waffles!“

“Husband and I finally dined here a little over a week ago for an early birthday dinner for me and the entire experience was nothing short of sublime. Although I was tempted by the views from the window-side tables, I wanted the Kitchen Table experience, and it was an excellent choice. We drove down from Dutchess County (fyi, whoever designed the Taconic Parkway should be fired, but I digress). The complimentary valet parking made our arrival easy. We were directed to the elevator and from the moment we got off on the floor of the restaurant, we were greeted immediately, and the entire staff was incredibly attentive, polite, and welcoming. The main dining areas are nicely decorated and subtly sophisticated. The chef’s table experience was phenomenal. We got very personal attention from the chef and staff members, and enjoyed watching (and inhaling the aromas from) both the main kitchen and pastry side during our meal. The service was excellent and attentive without being overbearing. Water and wine were poured promptly, the pacing of the courses was perfect, and the explanation for the dishes and wine were appreciated. We decided to get the wine pairing, and the pours were both generous and excellently paired with the courses. It was a lot of wine so by the 4th or 5th glass, I was really feeling it and enjoying myself, to say the least. The food was outstanding across the board. I love seafood so I was quite happy with the 7 fish offerings. We started out with 3 different breads, all different and all delicious, and I’m pretty sure I ate the roasted yeast butter on its own, and then uni and yellowtail, which are 2 of my favorites. It feels kind of dismissive to say “all of the courses were delicious,” but they really were. The black cod, iberico pork shoulder with fava been puree, and the prime dry aged rib eye were probably my favorite courses. I wish I had more room since the chef offered us additional rib eye, but I was pretty much at capacity and we still had dessert. The meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The iberico pork dish was crispy, salty, full of umami flavor, and it paired perfectly with the grassy, herbaceous, and silky fava bean puree. There was only one course that I wasn’t as enthusiastic about, the bacalhau a bras carmelle. Each course was so good that I couldn’t wait to see if the next would top it. Each course was a few bites, leading up to the larger beef at the end. Of the 3 dessert courses, the first 2 were my favorite. The first was “pear” which was a contrast of textures and temperatures. It was really outstanding and the cold bits in the dessert were a nice, light contrast to the heavy meal we had just finished. The next was a tart/cold dessert with sweet potato shavings and biscuit-like crackers (my dearest apologies to the pastry chef, I cannot describe it any better). It was all so different and worked well together. Again, the contrast in textures/temperature/flavors worked so well together. By the last dessert course, I was fairly stuffed and couldn’t finish. Again, there was a savory component (lettuce) that was (and I’m guessing here) caramelized so it was sweet and I ate both pieces. There was a custard as well and the crust was so flaky, and I was sorry that I couldn’t eat more of it. 3 ½ hours later, we waddled out quite satisfied and happy. Next time, we’d skip the wine pairing because it was simply too much but I can’t wait to visit here again and try new dishes. I don’t think I can accurately convey how delicious our food was or what a great time we had.“

“Had such a wonderful experience at Herb & Olive! The food was so fresh and delicious and our server Zoya was so amazing. She made great recommendations and was so sweet and accommodating with our son!“

“Great find in Scarsdale! Cutest little spot that transports you to a restaurant in the Mediterranean/Italy. Small, well appointed trattoria style restaurant. Warm, friendly service. Great natural light.

This is the place for those perfect aperol spritzies & fresh food. Fresh bread & imported olive oil served to start. We then ordered the Mediterranea Salad which was so refreshing: tomatoes, red peppers, cucumber, red onion, feta & light lemon dressing - great start. Margherita pizza & the Chicken Parm were both outstanding. Pizza is the perfect size, light but crispy with san marzano tomatoes, mozzarella fior di latte, evoo & basil. The Chicken Parm is understated, but hits all the marks - chicken pounded thin, crispy breading, tangy sauce & fresh parm.

Same owner as Cafe Alaia, which we're trying next, but this spot is already heavy in our rotation from now on.

“fantastic place. If you want to support peace, love, and harmony line up outside!“

“Taste Choice Shawarma is one of those places that just does it right. The rice platters are the best thing to order—flavorful, filling, and consistently on point. If you’re not getting a platter, at least grab the kebab platter or get the kebabs on the side because they’re a must-have.
The sandwiches are great too, packed well and full of flavor. Food overall is amazing, and the service is top-tier—super friendly, and sometimes they’ll even let you keep a bottle of sauce at the table so you can go crazy with it if you’re dining in.
Reliable, generous, and easy to love. One of my go-to spots.“

“First time here. We sat outside on a beautiful day for a late lunch. Service was prompt which was nice and he was attentive. We got a carafe of house white wine which wasn't bad and 3 apps. The beans were great. The fried cheese was salty but good. We wanted the zucchini chips but was offered the fritters. They were not great but we didn't bother switching them out. I think we would go back to try other dishes but only on occasion as the bill was $145 with a good tip.“
