“What a nice restaurant!! The service was great! The chef was out and spoke with us for a while and accommodated our off the menu request. We had Kubideh, a ground meat kebab with yogurt sauce which was delicious and Barg, a steak kebab. The very best dish however was the Zeresh Polo--a saffron rice with barberries--so good, with fragrant saffron and sweet/sour barberries. We also had a delicious baklava for dessert. My husband said the coffee was excellent. Will definitely go back!!“
“This restaurant has been around for 22 years and we are excited because they will be expanding! My family has been doing takeout for 22 years and we love the lamacuns, the sandwiches and salads! The owners, chefs and servers are very friendly. The atmosphere makes one feel like they are eating somewhere in the Mediterranean! A great restaurant with great food and a great vibe!“
“Amazing experience with new flavors and textures! Service is top notch and the waiters are very attentive to your needs and the overall customer service. First time coming here by recommendation and will definitely be coming here frequently!“
“Food is delicious and great size portions. The service is excellent. Erdom and Aziz were so kind and helpful. The atmosphere is quiet and lovely. Very clean and bright. Went a week ago and returned a few days later because my 1st experience was so great. Marion“
“The food was impeccable, service superb and ambience dreamy. ? Come hungry for the food and stay for the company and drinks ?. This was the perfect small and intimate birthday celebration location. I would highly recommend it and would most definitely come back for dinner again. Hope you enjoy as much as I have!!!“
“Went to Blue Waters on a Saturday night. Definitely suggest making a reservation which we had because it is tight but cozy. Food was delicious. We had the Greek salad, branzino and salmon. baklava for dessert. Drinks were yummy too! Only negative was music a little too loud.“
“Very nice place, comfortable seating. Ordered the schnitzel which was good but different than I expected so I'd get something else next time. Definitely would go backVegetarian options: Some vegetarian choices, gluten free choicesDietary restrictions: Gluten free optionsKid-friendliness: High chairs and made us comfortable with little one even though it was high end, not catered to kids“
“I’ve been ordering from this place since they’ve opened. I’ve lost count of the times Ive ordered, they are literally my go to over any other place in Lynbrook. Always consistent, always fresh and always clean. I love these guys! I wish this business years of success. We need you around! ?“
“The service and food are always a hit!! I have been coming here for a few years, and Herb and Olive attracts the best customers! I end up having the friendliest conversations with such beautiful people! The salmon with rice and spinach is my favorite!Thank you!!!“
“Overall, dining at this mom and pops vibe Turkish restaurant/grocery was a delightful experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend it to anyone in search of authentic Turkish cuisine served with a side of warmth and hospitality. Everyone was friendly. I can't wait to return and try more of their delicious offerings.“
“I remember from years ago that the soft shell crab was good, I don't remember what else made me bookmark this place to return. My partner loves his branzino fish. I had the skirt steak, it was tender, flavor was decent. The service was top notch. I will be back.“
“Honestly super duper impressed with the quality of food & service we received. At work we will have a catered lunch maybe once a month and it is not easy to coordinate & get great food for an office of 50+ people. But they really got it right! Food came hot, on time, and they very generously provided serving utensils, plates & cutlery. I heard they even called to make sure everything was good which I think is the first of all the resturaunts we had catered. Food: we got the greek salad, rice, lemon potatoes, chicken souvlaki, gyro, falafel, tzatziki & falafel. Everything was super fresh & delish. -- salad had big chunks of feta & some grape leaves. I do wish the salad dressing had more acid(?) because the meal was a bit heavier but overall super fresh!! -- rice to me was a little soggy but some coworkers said they liked the rice and it was super fluffy for them so i think its more about personal prefernce. -- lemon potatoes has a great lemon flavor and was not overcooked. Lemon potatoes are one of my favorite things and this definitely made the list of some of the best. -- chicken came in big chonks and was a pretty moist; and considering i took one of the top pieces from the giant tray for 50 people and it was better than i expected. Only thing is that it felt a little bland? Bit it had great sear and was plentiful! -- gyro was not too salty which is a huge deciding factor me if a greek place is good! It was NOT undercooked in any way but i personally like the burnt bits so i took some leftovers home and airfried it and it was amaaazing. -- falafel was much bigger than i expected - like a golfball? Maybe bigger? Outside was crunchy and the inside still moist and was probs the best falafel i had in monthss. I personally prefer falafel thats not as coarse but again thats a personal prefernce and did not stop me from having a bunch. -- the tzatziki was thiccc like hard to scoop thick. It was honestly amazing! We got some extra lemons so i did thin mine out a bit and i think that helped add a lot of brightness to the meal. Overall- definitely think it will be made part of the rotation and I will definitely consider ordering on my own for lunch to try some of their other menu items“
“Great experience! The food and ambiance was amazing! The moment we got there, we were immediately taken care of. The food was decadent and full of flavor! The waiters tended to our every need and even gave us plenty of dishes on the house. Love the fact that they play music and play the drums live. It’s an excellent venue where you feel like you’re one family singing and dancing along to the songs. Would definitely come back here again and highly recommend this place!“
“Excellent experience from start to finish! Tomas was so friendly and was willing to answer all of our questions, doing so thoughtfully and patiently. The food and drink were all wonderful! A table of 5 people with 3 shared appetizers, our own entrees, and two desserts and everyone could only speak positively! We'll definitely be back!“
“Lovely welcome by hostess and owner and waitesss which set the tone for our brunch today Had the Rothschild breakfast which was delicious especially with my double order of labne! My husband had the Ahi Tuna burger which was also very tasty Will definitely be back!“
“Unbelievable! Hunter is the gold standard in fine dining on Long Island. The incredible interior space is matched by creative and delicately balanced flavors. Everything we ate was exceptional. Hunter keeps the menu up with seasonal offerings. There really is nothing to compare it with. The staff is classy and refined and the entire dining experience is truly a guilty pleasure. Hunter has some serious fire power behind the scenes (think his talented father is often helping the show play like Chopin) thanks for gracing us with your culinary treasures.“
“This establishment is truly wonderful; the food was not only delicious but also served promptly. The young lady at the front desk welcomed us warmly and was incredibly courteous throughout our visit. Moreover, the owner took the time to personally connect with us, ensuring that everything met our expectations.Our experience was nothing short of awesome. Every aspect of our visit, from the delicious food to the attentive service, made for a memorable time. Will visit again and recommend it to others as well.“
“For me, consistency is a major factor when it comes to choosing where to eat. Gyrolicious is consistently serving up some of the best Greek food I've had outside of Astoria, and the staff is always very welcoming. The portions are very generous, and never lack in flavor. You can tell they really take pride in serving their customers and the quality of the food they put out. Absolutely recommend!“
“Had the bacalao fritters as an appetizer. They had small shards of bone in them. We each pulled bones out of our mouths. My friend ordered the cod named after restaurant. Had bones. No where in menu does it tell you that their plate is BONE IN. Made meal unpleasant.I had lamb chops. I must say they were thinnest lamb chops ever anywhere. Usually they’re 3 double chops in every place I’ve had them. Here they’re 4 single chops so thin you can’t get them medium rare as I ordered. I’d say go but ask lots of questions.“
“Haven't been here in a while. Had heard not as good recently. Had been frequent visitors here. Decided to try on Friday. Everything was fantastic. Service spot on. Food delicious and plentiful. Prices seemed a tad higher, but not outrageous. Will return.“
“I had to take my cat to the vet in the area and stopped by Greek Xpress twice and the blonde woman with glasses who works there or maybe owns the place is so kind and caring and provides great service. I also love all the gluten free options.“
“Tavern style bar and eatery with big ideas.Menu is eclectic with wagyu meatballs, a crisp roast chicken and fingerling potatoes, or a tender 12oz steak, which arrives sliced. All are terrific.The food is much better than you might expect, and the atmosphere and service are pleasant and unfussy.“
“Great food especially the laffa's but beware they include a mandatory 18% tip in the bill and then give you a additional receipt asking if you want to give a tip for 18%, 32% ect.. not mentioning that they already included 18% on the bill!“
“This location has a special place in my heart. 1988, I just came back from being stationed overseas and my girl friend (now my wife) says lets have Falafel for lunch. What's Falafel? Back then, the restaurant was called The Promised Land and it was the first time I took a bite of Falafel. Now, I was hooked! Strange that I never had nor heard of Falafel growing up in Brooklyn. Working in NYC was when I saw the different Falafel styles and was introduced to Einat Admonys version at Taim. I was a total fan of her Falafel. And to me, she gets points because she served in the IDF as well as being in Season 3 of Guy Fieri's Tournament of Champions? Shabbat Shalom sister with a fist bump. Which takes me to 2024, Taim Mediterranean Kitchen in Plainview. Walking in just floods me with so many memories. The counterperson says if I join the Taim rewards I can save on my first order so download the app. 1988 doesn't have anything on 2024! Once I downloaded the app, I ordered something simple, The O.G. Falafel Pita made with Harissa (for a little kick) I sit down to a nice, clean location. Brightly colored tables and a jug with some delicious looking lemonade. (Too sugary for me in 2024) My meal is ready. I like the fact that there is both Hummus and Tahini sauce inside the pita. It was a nice sandwich, the pita texture to me was a little off. It was too thick compared to what I'm used to at other falafel joints. Just for a moment, I had lunch back in time. Them I checked my app for the meal credit, I jumped in my Electric Car and headed home. Chicken Shawarma is calling me, I'll be back. (80s reference)“
“Of all the Greek restaurants I've ever eaten, this was the one that suited my taste the best. It wasn't too salty or spicy, but it had enough flavor of Greek food. The interior was luxurious and the service was very good. A perfect place to have dinner with good people.“
“This was one of the best gyros I have ever tried. The Philly gyro cheesesteak was made perfectly with fresh ingredients and prepared to perfection in terms of flavor. The lady took my order and did it perfectly . Thank you so much I had a delicious dinner tonight ? highly “
“Been going here since i was alittle baby . Their traditional food is amazing and must try. They have my favorite desert ever there called galatoubodiko. Its like a thick flan with philo dough and hkney and cinnamon syrupt on it. My.other favorites are aphadite greek salad, spinakopita and avolemeno soup.“
“im a driver... im always on the road. i buy halal food all over new york city. i just tried this restaurant and its the best chicken over rice i ever had. everything is so juicy and fresh. and the sauces brings everything together perfectly.wish i knew about it sooner“

“We visiting Port Washington all the time,but first time we eat in this place.The restaurant have amazing atmosphereI loved the solid background music too.Pita and hummus for the beginning!For appetizer I ordered calamari,the amount they served was like an entree for me.Well made! Crab cakes also huge comes with salad. The grilled Bronzino with capers was awesome. My son wish to have lobster mac and cheese but there was not on the menu. They made it for him anyway..The chicken really tender and delicious.My lobster (Thank you for broiling) I finished from the top to the bottom. I don’t wanna forget to mention the grill veggie on the side carrot,brussels sprout and the zucchini with steak fries a great combo.Extra stars, my puppy was able to come inside with us!“
“Loved Azerbaijan Grill. It is a distinct establishment, operating independently and specializing in Mediterranean cuisine. It is recognized for its exceptional chargrilled kebabs and an array of traditional dishes, reflecting the rich culinary traditions of the Mediterranean and Middle East. The menu shines with its variety, including stews, dips, and vegetarian options such as mousakka and assorted vegetable plates, making it a favored choice for those in pursuit of authentic tastes. The ambiance of Azerbaijan Grill is designed to be comfortably casual, focusing on delivering a high-quality dining experience that emphasizes the flavors and authenticity of the food rather than the decoration. This commitment to quality and authenticity makes Azerbaijan Grill a must-visit for enthusiasts of Mediterranean cuisine.Please note, Azerbaijan Grill and Sufiya’s Mediterranean Grill in East Meadow are separate entities and should not be confused with one another. Each restaurant offers its own unique take on Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes, contributing to the rich culinary landscape of the area.“
“I stumbled upon this hidden gem, right next to Manhasset Movies, on a pouring rainy day. I ordered their Bowl and it was AMAZING! All the ingredient was soooo FRESH! And the portion was so generous! Atmosphere of the restaurant is very warm, CLEAN, and welcoming. Staff is very friendly and courteous. This is a very cute cozy spot serving HONEST food to customers. I will definitely come back here and bring my friends as well. WE NEED MORE RESTAURANTS LIKE THIS IN OUR WORLD.“
“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“
“The food was incredibly delicious! I opted for the falafel wrap with fresh lettuce, hummus, and tahini sauce, and it was simply amazing. You can taste the freshness, and it was made with great care. I'll certainly be returning for more.“
“Fam favorite appetizers were the crispy fried eggplant & zucchini chips and exceptional hummus with pita. Mixed grilled vegetables were prepared eloquently and tasted sensational . Branzino was moist, cooked & seasoned to perfection & melted in your mouth. Greek salad & dressing tasted fresh & delicious. Baklava was enjoyed by all. Would order more frequently if weren’t so pricey! Recommend dining in on special occasions.“
“Easily the best Mediterranean restaurant in the area. For that matter on all of Long Island! Spectacular food in a cozy, clean setting. Served by the loveliest family at a reasonable price. When you give Shish Kabob Grill a try you will have no regrets! (5*) Oh! I almost forgot…municipal parking is close by. ?“
“Food is great as usual. I used to go to the Naya in Midtown Manhattan but since working remote, I just don’t want to go to Manhattan anymore. Now I get the convenience of a sizable parking lot in Roosevelt Field mall, grab a quick Naya lunch and relax before heading back to work (I don’t mind the drive and taking the break). The garlic whip is the best. I wish they still had beef kebabs but the lamb/beef meatballs are good and chicken shawarma is now my choice. Delicious hummus too.“
“Since I’ve moved back from Berlin I’ve been scouring the island for the best chicken schwarma/kebab/sandwich/pita, whatever you want to call it. This place was hands down the best I’ve had. The only thing that would make it better was if they had fried halloumi to put in it, but I’ve yet to find a place in the US that does this so it’s no biggie. They don’t usually put hummus in it, but he did for me which I really appreciated. The salad they put on it had a very light oil based dressing that added an awesome taste to it. I was honestly blown away by how good it was. It’s a simple meal/concept, but the majority of places I’ve been to are incredibly subpar, as I am pretty picky. This is my new spot from now on.“
“This is a favorite stop on our way back from northern Queens. The staff is unusually pleasant and the food is quite generous. I'd like to see another meat offering such as lamb, as I find their meatballs to be rather hard. A good vibe and an attractive eating area, also a plus. Enthusiastically recommended.“
“So delicious!!!! Came here for my son's bday and the food was amazing. I saw the waitress deliver a cake to another table with a sparkler. I was allowed to bring in my own cake due to food allergies and I asked the waitress if she can put a sparkler on my cake too. They did and my son loved it!!! He said the steak was one of the best he ever tasted!!!“
“The food is always good. The service was good but they were so overbooked and busy that they could not possibly be as excellent as they usually are. I Hate to not give them an amazing review because I am a regular and always have great service and excellent food there but last night was crazy busy. We waited a very long time to sit and we had reservations for 4 at 7:40lm. We waiting again a long time to get our food order in and then they were out of bronzino so it wasn't the same as usual. But I do highly recommend this restaurant and as I've said, I usually have an amazing overall experience there.“
“Food is excellent every time however the portion sizes are ridiculous. If you’re charging $17 for a bowl I expect more than half a spoon of rice. The workers behind the counter are almost always oblivious and are not usually friendly. It’s a shame since the food is so good and this can easily be a 5 star spot.“
