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

“New restaurant very good food, staff was very polite , for my first time I’ll give 5 stars !“

“As someone who doesn’t normally enjoy fancy restaurants this place was really amazing, possibly the best restaurant I’ve been to westchester in the 4 years I’ve lived here.

Kid-friendliness: If you bring a baby the owners and servers will pay extra attention to you.“

“Food was out of this world…“

“Must admit didn't know what osteria was but once I found out. The Aperiti vibe was spot on. Quite a relaxed family or casual date night bite out. The food was fresh, inventive, bright. The calamari was made fresh not frozen. The place was full but not packed. The bar is where we ate so there was no room for others to hangout to drink. Seating was close to each other like the city but it was pretty Firenze otherwise.“

“Great food. The Plain Tart yogurt is second to none. You can't find that kind of quality tart yogurt anywhere else. I literally came from work in the Bronx straight to Mamaroneck to pick up a Quart of the Plain Tart. They make it in-house, and its consistently a top quality product. I would highly recommend Esy Kafe.“

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

“1st time here. Had the wings (old bay), ribs, brisket sandwich. All were amazing. Arabela was an amazing bartender and took on the whole bar by herself. Kudos girl!!! Stop the free money so new establishments can staff!! Patience was needed but worth it!“

“The food was phenomenal and the service was amazing. Nothing more welcoming than a smile as soon as you open the door and the same smile leaving the restaurant. 10 out of 10 stars.“

“Overall, the food was excellent and left a great impression. The octopus and potato was delicious but could benefit from a little more salt or acidity to bring the flavors together. The mezze bowls were a highlight, with the bread standing out as particularly delicious. The branzino was cooked well. The citrus salad was fresh and good.

Service was a bit rushed, likely because they noticed we had a squirmy toddler with us. While we didn't mind this, I could see how it might be a bit off-putting in a more relaxed adult-only setting. One small improvement could be a clearer explanation of the dishes when they arrive at the table.

We didn't have dessert this time, although we did look over the menu. I noticed the after-dinner drinks were not listed on the desserts menu.

All in all, it was a very good dining experience for Westchester, and we’re looking forward to returning.“

“Great service! Great Coffee!👍“

“I truly love this restaurant and their food. The service was amazing and the people were very nice. I’m not too sure what the people who left bad reviews were talking about, the food was authentic and the service was like as if it was in Turkey. I’m surely going to keep coming back “

“Wonderful dinner. Gracious owner. Great creative cocktails and desserts“

“Great addition to our community! Haven’t had a bad meal yet!! Love going during the week for a drink and quick snack! And bringing friends and family for a multi course meal!! The cacio Pepe is sooooo good, as are the oysters, steak heck everything is good!! You can’t go wrong. The service is second to none. Can’t wait to dine again asap!“

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

“My husband and I decided to dine at Hash O Nash last week. Let me tell you, they have the best Hummus. It's smooth and creamy. The food is delicious and inexpensive. The server, is incredibly polite, patience and if you are not familiar with a certain dish, he will describe. Of course, my husband and I had to go back. This time I tried the Chicken Cigar. Sooooo good, I had another order. By the way, the serving can feed two. Hope you enjoy as much as we did. 💯“

“Best restaurant in Westchester!“

“Great place!! Food was delicious and the service was top notch!! Highly recommend it!!“

“I stumbled upon this place today and am so happy I did! I had the falafel sandwich and it was delicious. The falafels were warm and moist and the pita was so fresh. Plus the place is cute and prices are very reasonable. I will be going back!!“

“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.“

“We had our son’s graduation dinner there on June 25,2022. The food was delicious and the staff was amazing. Couldn’t have asked for a better day or place. The staff was “on point”,so accommodating, extremely nice and made our day more enjoyable. Will definitely be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The food is reliably good, maybe not spectacular. The desserts, though, ARE spectacular. The drinks are good, too. The only problem with the service is that the bartender also has to wait tables, so everything slows down. Prices are reasonable for Westchester, and the place has a very relaxed vibe.“

“We were able to snag a table for two at the last minute with the help of a very accommodating hostess. We spent 10 minutes waiting at the bar, where the bartender was quick, efficient and friendly. Our table was a cozy (not cramped) corner booth for two and the seating was very comfy. Laraine was our sever and she was great. Attentive without intruding. Quick without being frantic. Excellent excellent service. The food was delicious and served hot. There is nothing that we would change about our visit except we should have tried this restaurant sooner!“

“ordered shepherds salad on a Saturday night to go. Got home see pictures. First off, personally I don't like olives with pits in a salad. I hate taking a bite and having to deal with pits.
2nd so little feta..On a salad this size should be double the amount. Lastly, no utensils. Doesn't make a difference if it was to go. Utensils should always accompany a meal. I could have wemt to the beach.

Either way, salad tasted good, service was good. Will probably be back, will ask for extra cheese abd utensils“

“I Definitely recommend this place .Food is great stuff is so friendly.Price is great.I will come back again.Thank you🥰❤️❤️❤️😊“

“Excellent customer service“

“Best chicken souvlaki pita I’ve ever had!“

“We are long time Lefteris fans and have had lunch at this relatively new satellite branch in Pleasantville several times. While not nearly as big, boisterous or busy as the mother ship in Tarrytown, the menu is basically the same and the food consistently delicious. It’s the much smaller and quieter cousin, but a very nice place to enjoy the best Greek food in Westchester!“

“The Pastitio, potatoes and octopus were really good. We will be back.“

“Best Greek salad. Platters with grilled meat skewers are tasty and succulent. Soups perfection. Can't say enough about the food. Service is fast, friendly and efficient.But parking is a pain and the atmosphere is on par with a diner. Save it for a second date.“

“Such an amazing restaurant!! Great staff and owners. The food is something you don’t come around often, all made organically and mindfully. Authentic Turkish cuisine! Delightful desserts and fun beverages. One of my personal favorites being the protector drink. Such a good cleanser.“
