We were staying at a hotel down the street and decided to try this restaurant one night for dinner. A M A Z I N G! The food is excellent and very generously portioned. Very fresh and delicious. The rosemary potatoes I had with my gyro plate were so good and cooked perfect. Great service and welcoming atmosphere. Would highly recommend!

Went to the taping of "The Daily Show" at their nearby Comedy Central studio. My cousin had ordered in often in the past, but had not dined there. We had a selection of appetizers, hummus, whipped feta (a little spicy), eggplant spread and fish roe spread with pita bread, all delicious and I was surprised how much I liked the fish roe. We split (plenty to go around) an order of moussaka which was delicious. Friendly service in a nice dining room in blue and white, recommended,i understand why she's been ordering in for a long time!!

My Mom and I enjoyed a lovely dinner here on a Saturday evening in November. We had booked a reservation earlier that morning, and everything with check-in went smoothly. The door was hard to find, though, that's the only thing--Why couldn't they have better signage pointing to the correct entrance, instead of the amount of signage they had pointing out which ones were wrong? I loved our server so much--I wish I remembered her name, but she was a young, tall woman who was so friendly and helped my Mom decide on a cocktail when she didn't know which one to order. The drinks were very good, but the food was even better. I wish the portions were bigger, but it just meant we were able to savor the meal all the much more. We got the meatballs as our appetizer, and shared the gyro platter, which was definitely big enough for 2 people! The atmosphere was very pleasant, although I'm not sure what the purpose of the paper on the tables were; it reminded me of the doctor's office! We decided to skip dessert and go elsewhere, but the baklava was tempting. I definitely reccomend it here!

I highly recommend this restaurant. The atmosphere is great and the staff is so courteous. I have Celiac disease, and I felt eating here. The menu isn’t labeled, but the staff is very knowledgeable. I had the lamb shank, and my waitresses quickly recommended a replacement of rice to go with it. The food was delicious. I definitely plan on returning the next time I’m in NYC.

The food was so good it was probably the best gyro I’ve ever had. The server and staff was so nice and the food was very fresh. If you go to have to try the Greek fries they were so good. The atmosphere is nice too and has good vibes for a nice dinner.
