Hidden treasure on border of Chinatown and LES serves up best, authentic, fresh, Greek food in a hip yet cozy environs. You can't go wrong with the Saganaki, Octopus, Lamb Chops, Branzino & Moussaka!
Hidden Gem! Real yummy greek restaurant. By far the best in east side and could easily compete with Kyklades and Pylos. Things to order: octopus, spicy cheese, mousakka , salad #yum
As frustrating as a 2hr wait sounds, it's worth it. Just grab a drink nearby, they'll call you. Got the house red, tzatziki, salad, octopus, moussaka, lamb and baklava - loved everything!
The food comes out really quick! Skip the Greek salad, and go for the spanikopita, fries with egg, octopus, eggplant dip and don't forget wine. Reasonable prices and good to share plates
Horiatiki salad and lamb chops. Yes! Some of the best octopus in the city especially. Inexpensive. No wait on a Monday evening but can be busy most nights. But sit, stay awhile and enjoy yourself.
Get here early to avoid long waits. At 6:30pm on a Friday the place was mostly empty. All great: spicy cheese dip, horiatiki, octopus, mama's roast chicken. The best? Fries w/ feta and mustard sauce.
super hidden local gem reminiscent of five leaves in greenpoint for how consistent the tables are full. food is good, perfect spot to catch up with pals with a glass of wine
The mixed meat plate was great for sharing-- would split this with 3-5 people. The tzatziki sauce was a great starter. No reservations, but large space. Friendly, cool, trendy environment.
Such a great spot! They don’t take reservations, but it’s worth the wait if it’s busy. We got a bunch of the small plates, which seemed like the way to go. The octopus and tzatziki were great.
One of my top five restaurants in the city. Lamb and octopus are excellent, as is the Greek salad. Nice to go at an off time like Saturday afternoon so you don’t have to fight for space.
The layered pastitsio is terrific and hearty, as is the browned and juicy Paidakia (lamb chops) which pairs beautifully with their homemade garlicky tzatziki. Mehr erfahren
This place is a gem. Dim lighting, the decor and music sets an awesome lively vibe that makes you forget you're in NYC. Try the zuccini chips, greek salad, the spanakopita , grilled octopus . So good.
Um...yum! Super inexpensive spot. The Greek salad and octopus are perfect to start and the meat platter for 2 is huge! If you're in the mood for a pasta, get the pasticcho. It's huge!
Why did I not know of this amazing place any sooner. Had the saganaki and octopus for apps. Lamb fricasse and grilled branzino for mains. Amazing taste and fast service. Definitely returning soon.
Definitely worth the long wait to get seated... Everything was amazing. Get the mousakka, the Greek salad, the spaghetti with shrimp on a shell... Get everything and share with a group!
Cool Greek spot w/ dark ambiance and a neverending series of rooms. The Pastitchio (like Moussaka sans the eggplant), Lamb Frikasse, and ZucchiniChips were delish. Octopus slightly disappointed.
The melitzanoslata and taramasalata were delicious appetizers. Spanokopita was fantastic, as were the lemon potatoes. Eggplant dish was flavorful and baklava was sublime. Definitely recommend!
Try the shrimp, spicyfeta and lamb chops. The house wine is great too. Long waits, 6 credit card maximum. They have eggplant and tomato dish for vegetarians!
Stop by for a cool glass of assyritiko and pair it with octopus that has just the right amount of char. It's summer on a Greek island, all while sitting in Chinatown in the largest city in the U.S. Mehr erfahren
The most unexpected surprise. small tiny place in China town has the best food,best service,great vibe and worth the wait. Kiki in south beach is fancy but this one knows how to keep you happy 😜💕
if you arrive early and stand under scaffolding to dodge the rain, when kiki’s opens, a chinese family of five will surprise you by dashing out the door behind you. they were doing the same thing
After trying cheesecake for over 40 years we rate this: The BEST Cheesecake in Manhattan! - A perfect hard crumble of a foundation is topped with a delicious Pana Cotta like, smooth, light cheesecake.
No frills classic E Bway hipster vibe with a large and really good selection of Greek food. Octopus and the little meat patties were highlights. Fish was very nicely done as well
Everything we had was delicious. The grilled fish is off the charts good. We also loved the octopus and horyataki salad. Very authenticGreek food and super reasonable price. We'll be back soon.
Place interesting layout! We checked in one side and then they took us to a table across the street. Great service, food for g price. Highly rec yogurt, the spanakopita, chicken souvlaki platter!
the octopus is the best I’ve ever had, branzino is amazing, friend cheese w honey, lemon potatoes and the veggie dish was like an amazing Greek ratatouille
Gem on border of Chinatown and LES serves amazing authenticGreek cuisine. No reservations, so come early or expect a long wait. Tzatziki! Moussaka! Saganaki! Baklava! Totally reasonable prices.
Cool atmosphere, very dimes square. Almost shocking how reasonably this place is priced (for NY standards). Saganaki, spanakopita, horiaktiki, and branzino should all be on your table.
You just can't go wrong here. Try the horiatiki salad, grilled octopus, spanakopita (spinach and feta cheese pie) and the catch of the day. Top notch service. Prices won't break the bank.
Fab. Greek salad is a must! French fries too. Make sure to get the lamb chops; i got some other lamb that was good but too fatty. Also feel like I made a mistake not getting the roast chicken.Nxt time
One of my favorites! A cool restaurant filled with cool people. Everything is moderately priced too! The Greek salad is perfect. I also love the grilled fish with lemon potatoes.
Get here early to avoid long waits. At 5:30pm on a Monday the place was mostly empty. All great: spicy cheese dip, horiatiki, octopus, mama's roast chicken. The best? Fries w/ feta and mustard sauce.

5 min wait on a Tuesday night at 10pm. The food is consistently amazing, even after covid. My go-to’s: Saganaki, octupus, lamb fricasse, and a carafe of wine.
