Loukoumi Taverna is hands-down the best Greek restaurant in New York City. Every visit feels like a trip straight to Greece — from the warm hospitality to the incredible flavors that hit the table. The food is always fresh, authentic, and perfectly seasoned. The grilled octopus is tender and smoky, the lamb dishes are full of flavor, and the seafood is always cooked to perfection. Even the simple dishes, like their salads and dips, taste outstanding because the ingredients are top-quality. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff treats you like family from the moment you walk in. Whether you’re going for a casual dinner or celebrating something special, Loukoumi Taverna makes every experience memorable. If you’re looking for true Greek cuisine in NYC, this is the place. Absolutely worth the trip — you’ll walk out planning your next visit.

If I could give Loukoumi Taverna 10 stars, I would. I just left and I’m still smiling. From the moment I walked in, it felt like I was being welcomed by family—not a customer number. Every plate that hit the table was a knockout (truly, not a single miss), but what made the night unforgettable was our server, Chrisa. She’s a gem, sweet, warm, and effortlessly attentive. She felt like home! Chrisa anticipated what we needed before we even asked, checked in at the perfect moments, and had spot-on menu guidance. Water and wine never dipped low, pacing was perfect, napkins magically appeared when we needed them, and she made us feel like we were the only table in the room. 😊
Loukoumi nails that rare combo of heart + flavor. Consider me a regular. Run, don’t walk, and when you go, ask for Chrisa. She’s the standard.

Had the pork souvlaki. It was amazing. The appetizers was enough to share and we all enjoyed it.

Service was amazing, the food was really good. Great atmosphere here even on a late Sunday night. We came for a birthday and were treated so well. Wilson was the best server and really cares! Would highly recommend
Amazing food. Impeccable service. Our server Ernest went above and beyond making sure we were taken care of. Lovely for a family night out or date night.
