Unbelievable. Hands down the best Greek food outside of Astoria. Get the octopus , fish of the day, and moussaka . Baklava is out of this world

Kirk McMurray

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 !

Naz Colakoglu

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!

Alexis Bendjouia

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

Ranu Rajkarnikar

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.

Emily Wilson

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

Pia Fouilloux

The grill mix is perfect for 3! The lamb was so good! I added a Greek salad for the healthy part of the diner .

Celena Chan

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.

Aja Brandman

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.

The layered pastitsio is terrific and hearty, as is the browned and juicy Paidakia (lamb chops ) which pairs beautifully with their homemade garlicky tzatziki . Read more

Lee West

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.

Escape Cardona

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.

Natalie V

The best!!! Portions are generous and everything is delicious. The pastichio and bifstek are great

Nicolette Romero

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!

Alyssa B.

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.

Santi Amaya

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!

John E

Cool Greek spot w/ dark ambiance and a neverending series of rooms. The Pastitchio (like Moussaka sans the eggplant ), Lamb Frikasse, and Zucchini Chips were delish. Octopus slightly disappointed.

Chophel Namgyal

Big Greek salad , Tzaziki , fries w feta , grilled Octopus ???? were awesome! Need to come back to eat more of the menu! ????????

stephanie s.

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!

Rewan Parti

Try the shrimp , spicy feta and lamb chops . The house wine is great too. Long waits , 6 credit card maximum. They have eggplant and tomato dish for vegetarians !

Ben K.

Hidden, delicious, affordable Greek food in the LES. Try the eggplant , tzatziki , and lamb shank .

Condé Nast Traveler

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. Read more

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 ????????

the lovely hao lian

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

Veronika Sonsev

Everything we had was delicious. The grilled fish is off the charts good. We also loved the octopus and horyataki salad . Very authentic Greek food and super reasonable price. We'll be back soon.

Elika Real Estate

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 .

Rory Parness

If you don't want to wait for dinner , lunch is a great option as you get the pick of the place. Start your meal by snacking on those zucchini chips

Elizabeth Burstein

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!

AmateurConcierge

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

Nieki Esmaili

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

Jenna Odett Laskin

Excellent authentic casual Greek food . Order the whole menu and share with the table family-style

Josue Evilla

Gem on border of Chinatown and LES serves amazing authentic Greek cuisine . No reservations , so come early or expect a long wait . Tzatziki ! Moussaka ! Saganaki ! Baklava ! Totally reasonable prices.

Sarah Maguire

Such a cute hidden gem with a super friendly staff ! Really enjoyed the grilled octopus , cold eggplant dish , lamb chops and the saganaki !

Claudio Santori

We loved the grilled octopus , imam Baildi (tomato eggplant ) and the delicious Greek salad .

Amanda ????

My Greek boyfriend said it was the best Greek food he’s had outside Greece + Cyprus so I wanted to share the verdict.

Gayngood

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

Ernesto Gutierrez

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 .

Alex Hunter

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.

Alex Hunter

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 .

Lucy

All the Greek food ! In a hip and unassuming location. Delicious and authentic .

Jose Pablo Mangeri

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 .

Naphat Kijsamrej

Charming neighborhood place with Greek comfort food . Excellent fava dip and simple grill fish with this delectable spinach rice .

Stan Tran

Can't go wrong with the grilled octopus starter, any of the lamb dishes , and the grilled fish platter

Fadia Kader

The food was delicious. Great to share! Get the octopus ! Entrance is on division and there's no sign on the outside

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 .

Alex Bosworth

Great moussaka , skip the taramosalata, get the lamb chops , prices are reasonable and setting is super relaxed. Very busy place

Emily Wilson

First order of business: carafe (or bottle) of house red . Then order anything and everything; you can’t fuck up here.
