Tabi YooOctober 27, 2015The hummus and Greek salad were great appetizers - highly recommend as starters to share!
Celine GallianoAugust 29, 2017Everything is amazing! Pitas are my favorites with Greek salad and fries.
Everything is good, down to the lowly Prasini salad. Should be simple to make myself and yet I MUST order it every chance I get.
it's like you are in Mykonos !!! Anything you'll order will taste great (it's greek food folks)... just make sure you will enjoy the whole experience!
Save room for the loukoumathes they are friggin delicious! (basically the Greek's version of a donut)
Alex YaleOctober 21, 2016Fava dip, Greek salad, and Greek burgers. All fresh and amazing. Quick friendly service!
Arnaud RéautéOctober 14, 2014Very good pita sandwiches with lots of fêta making it well flavoured. Greek fries are great!
Martin S.November 28, 2015Really authentic. The staff speaks too much Greek to each other which can lead to awkward situations when they don't think you speak it as well. :D
Kristin KJanuary 30, 2014So good and super cheap! Greek fries and souvlaki pitas - chicken or pork - highly recommended!
Jane DongJanuary 4, 2015Get the combo meat plate for two - promise you won't regret it. There will be nothing left on the plate
Calvin MultanenJune 7, 2015Cute, lively atmosphere. Food is delicious and good value. Definitely order the souvlaki
Eugene LeeAugust 18, 2013Plenty o feta & pita! Taste/health: meatballs: 8.25/6, sv pita 9/6: salad 7.5/8, Greek fries: 7/5, zucchini balls 8.5/6.75. Strong drinks!
Leah HammerschlagDecember 10, 2014Gyros and dips/spreads are delish (though gyro kind of small of $7). Feta fries are good, but you wish the cheese melted better.
Alexandra LevitasOctober 11, 2016The lamb kebab was great! Good meat in general. Very reasonably portioned and priced.
Rutger van DillenFebruary 22, 2016The bifteki pita and souvlaki are awesome. Real great atmosphere as well.
This place is awesome! The ambiance really makes you feel in greece! Service great and delicious food!
Jason BrewDecember 17, 2015Good casual Greek restaurant on the Lower East Side. Surprisingly inexpensive!
The perfect meal for two: a box of skewers + prasini salad. Maybe a frappe if you need some caffeine!
Jessie CatanaApril 20, 2018went for a quick bite, got the chicken and lamb skewers which were both delish
Harry JacobsAugust 11, 2016Mixed grill platter was great. Good amount of food for 2. Greek fries yum
stephiedooJune 27, 2011The pork pita is delicious, and I'll eat cardboard if it's topped with their 4 feta cheese spread. Plus, love their restaurant theme and decor.
Di FraticelliApril 17, 2013This place is the best!!! Great food. Service was great. Came here for lunch. Sweet chica with short hair served us.
Vivie BJanuary 10, 2012Decor really makes you feel like you're in Santorini or Mykonos... and they put french fries in the sandwiches (like they do in Greece)
Jonathan Libov July 25, 2015All the appetizers are great. You may even be better off making a meal out of them by ordering a bunch.
Francis UdlerSeptember 15, 2014Feels like Greece. Food is fresh and yummy. Pita entrees are on the small side.
Gellie ChayaMarch 26, 2016Tsaziki is off the chain. Gyros are on the smaller end, but for me it was perfectly portioned.
Aditya NafdeApril 14, 2014Greek fries sprinkled with feta cheese are amazing ; Also try their speciality drinks
Tanuja PhadkeJuly 3, 2014This place made me love greek food!! 😊 definitely try the shrimp and pork souvlaki!!
EileenJuly 8, 2018Chicken souvlaki was okay. I liked the lamb SGR souvlaki slightly better. Greek fries are what you’d expect based on the description
Pierre van MedgeAugust 8, 2014Cute little restaurant. The souvlaki here is close to the Greek original and very good.
Michael MuseJuly 26, 2013Don't miss the 'Yaourti Sakoulas' yogurt with sour cherry - outstandingly tasty!
Cindy DasilvaSeptember 14, 2011Best Greek Food in the city. The atmosphere is like taking a trip to Greece steps away from the clubs in the LES.
Jihea ParkNovember 6, 2011Great Greek fries! On the bigger side. Their pitas are on the smaller side if you are a guy with a big appetite.
Its like you walk in the streets of Mykonos ( matogiannia) !! The best souvlaki in New York !!
Jared RanereApril 15, 2012It's not easy to find cheap, tasty, low key sit-down restaurants on the LES and this place is all that.
