Came across this place walking from the Met. Split the mixed seafood grill on a date. The food was incredibly flavorful and one of the best mixed dishes I can say I’ve had. Perfect for me, with a carnivorous diet and my partner who enjoys vegetarian options. For NYC, very reasonable price especially considering the food was enough for both of us and later that night as left-overs. Waiters were attentive and friendly. A nice busboy offered to box our food which was kind. Definitely recommend coming here.

Must've come here on an off day. We ordered a chicken gyro and chicken skewer and had to walk out in order to get our food. Restaurant had 3 tables and somehow both tables that ordered much later than us got their food. Staff was nice enough to keep checking, but 50 minutes was excessive. At least the front of house was nice enough to give us a cheesecake slice as a sorry. Chicken gyro was good but probably wouldve been better if i didnt have to wait an hour to eat it. I'd give them another chance.

Though I did not like the beer I was given. This spot did not disappoint with the food. Delicious chicken gyro with sauces provided and fried with quinoa. All were excellent. The staff were kind and knowledgeable with the menu and recommended me the best choice.

Loved this place! The souvlaki was flavorful and perfectly cooked, the fries were crisp and fresh, and everything on the plate was just really well done. Portions were generous, and the vibe was chill with friendly service.Solid spot! I’ll be back for sure.

An elite establishment—whether you dine in or order takeout, you’ll receive the same exceptional service and food. Easily some of the best value in the UES, especially for the Euros. The owners are incredibly friendly and always accommodating. Definitely worth spending your hard-earned money at this neighborhood staple.
