My favorite kind of food, since I’m already familiar with Mediterranean cuisine this food was amazing and price is good. We had shrimp, feta salad, lamb chops, buns and baklava. Loved everything ?

My fiancée and I arrived at 6:55 for a 7 pm reservation at the LES location and it was completely empty, so we were immediately seated. We ordered a salad and some drinks and chatted. When my fiancée picked up her water glass to pour herself a glass of water, we noticed there were glass shards in the cup itself, as well as outside of it on the napkin. We figured no big deal, let them know and they replaced the glass. We indulged in our salad (which was delicious) and had a chat. Our main course arrived quickly after and I had ordered the chicken souvlaki wrap. The first few bites were very tasty. However, half way through my meal, I took a bite and while chewing, I felt something sharp/hard in my mouth (almost like a bone) and immediately spit my food out into a napkin. I looked at the napkin and to my utter surprise, there was a notably large piece of wooden skewer stick in the napkin. I had almost swallowed a fairly large piece of this wooden skewer (for sizing reference it was at least the size of a pointer finger). By this time there were 4 other tables in use in the restaurant and the waitress had since not come back to ask how our food was or offer more drinks (our glasses had been empty for a while). I picked out another piece of chicken and looked inside and found another small piece of the wooden skewer in there as well. At this point I set it aside and decided I was done eating. My fiancée had finished her meal, which was the lemon chicken option on the daily specials menu and really enjoyed it. The man who was cleaning up the tables came by to collect her plate and I mentioned this all to him without making a huge fuss about it. He immediately responded with “the chicken is made on a skewer so upon putting it into the pita, it probably got partially left behind.” While I totally understand that this can happen, that does not make it OK, considering this could’ve been consumed by a child or someone elderly that may not have caught it and could’ve easily choked on this or furthermore, had it cause damage. He said he would let the kitchen know. At this time the waitress finally came by and I let her know as well, and she was apologetic and said she would tell the manager who then promptly came over to us. once I told the manager, her response was pretty much the same, and she tried to play it off as it being not a big deal at first, which was what upset me, since I wasn’t making a big fuss about it to begin with. She then immediately said she would take it off the bill, and that it shouldn’t of happened, and I let her know that she needs to show the kitchen to ensure this does not happen again. She also mentioned I should of told her immediately so she can swap out my food but honestly at that point I had lost my appetite. She took the napkin and headed for the kitchen and the waitress brought us our bill. Sure enough the souvlaki wrap was taken off and 18% gratuity was added on which I thought was interesting since that’s typical of parties of six or more & we were just two, but I’m assuming maybe they thought we weren’t going to tip and added the gratuity (which wasn’t going to be the case regardless of the lack of service). At no point did the manager come back up to us which I thought was interesting as well. We then paid our bill and headed out the door and she did apologize again upon our exit. It’s been a few hours and I feel the bother in my throat ever since I left. I’m not sure if it’s because a small piece of the wooden skewer got lodged in there or if it just scratched me up while trying to chew & swallow but it’s noticeably uncomfortable. I genuinely was not trying to make this a big deal and did not plan on writing a review. However, after thinking about it, I am realizing that this could have turned very bad very quick, and although I did not expect a free meal by any means, I feel as though more could have been done here. For a restaurant that had very little tables occupied during our time there, the fact that we were not even offered another drink was frustrating. I noticed that two of t

Appalling, poor quality, dont waste your time Where do I start....you want authentic Greek Cuisine DO NOT GO THERE! Appauling service nothing like what the Greek culture is. The only thing that resembles Greece it the blue and white paint that you see. Food cold and frozen, poor hygiene as i found hair in my meal and very miserable rude staff! Coming from a European country I understand tips and the culture of it in the US but the icing on this disgusting cake is the text we received saying "I'm very cheap" after asking for the frozen food to be removed from my bill as it was unedable. The worse meal and experience by far in New York. I will never be recommending or advising anyone from Europe to visit I will tell them it is nothing like Greece!!!! Just a poor show of an attempt at pretending to be Greek!!! My tip to them.....visit the country gain some authenticity and manners oh and service standards while your at it.

Booked a table for four. Seated at a couple of small tables by the door which wasn’t ideal. Service was quick. The food was variable, chicken skewers were good, Greek salad was good, moussaka was a giant cube of tepid gelatinous stuff that bore little relation to the real thing and the same for the pastitsio. Probably worth a second chance with different dishes. I left full but underwhelmed.

Wonderful Greek restaurant, located in midtown. Cozy interior, also features both outdoor and indoor seating. The staff is friendly and provide excellent service. The food was delicious! I had Salmon skewers with peppers, tomatoes and onion, sautéed spinach on the side. Everything was perfectly seasoned and resented beautifully!

It is a beautiful place. You immediately feel you are in Greece. However, we were the only people there eating lunch at the time and it took a very long time to get our food. The food is over priced for the amount of food you get served. Disappointed.

We were hungry after a later theatre show and came across this restaurant. A very friendly welcome , and prompt service. Best value for money we had in New York. Lamb burger was superb as was the souvlaki . Dry santorini white wine was v good , too . Inside is white plaster , and blue trim , just like in Greece . Lots of open windows for ventilation on a warm evening . Pretty sure a Greek family must own and cook the food . Would eat here again , and Thankyou to the folks there for the genuine warmth and hospitality.

I ordered delivery last night and everything was fantastic. Had the hummus which comes with pita bread. The bread was soft and warm the hummus very tasty. The best was the lamb gyro. The meat was tender and flavourful. Good portion and the tatziki sauce was delicious. I highly recommend.

The interior of this cheerful Greek restaurant creates the illusion of outdoor dining. A rather large menu covers all the basics – meat, fish, seafood, casseroles, vegetarian offerings, dips, and, of course, skewers. The food is pretty good, not as good as in up-market Greek restaurants, but more than acceptable, and that is reflected in the price. I had pastichio and would have it again.

The food is sooooo good - unfortunately they should say the truck isn't parked and you have to pick up food at the restaurant- tgat is not clear.
