Grilled whole fish stars on a classic Greek menu at this bright, airy bistro with an expansive wine list.
We took a recommendation from the firefighters at FDNY 65, and they absolutely nailed it. Kellari Taverna offered one of the most wonderful dining experiences we’ve had in the city. We tried the pre-theatre menu, and every dish was mouthwatering—fresh, authentic, and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere is beautiful, striking that perfect balance between elegant and welcoming with its bright, airy feel. It truly is a great spot for a special night out or a pre-show meal. Beyond the food, the ser

They got that steak 🔥🔥🔥, pairs well with the sauce they serve. Truffle fries 🔥, crab cake🔥, red snapper, seabuss, great drinks too even the cocktails. On a sunny day, the patio is where it's at! Service is great. They have in-house entertainment too on nice sunny days over the weekend.

Casual, colorfully decorated, diner-style eatery specializing in gyros & other Greek favorites.
I’ve been a regular customer here for quite some time, which is why this experience was so disappointing. A couple of months ago, I was able to order the lunch special and enjoy it inside the restaurant without any issue. When I returned recently, I was told the lunch special was takeout only. Normally that wouldn’t be a big deal, but there was only one customer in a very large dining room, and I was essentially being told I couldn’t sit down and eat my meal inside. This wasn’t about saving mo

Long-running Greek taverna known for fresh grilled fish served in spacious quarters with a garden.
Telly’s taverna, let me tell what I honestly think about my dining experience : I think that their prices are extremely high for the quality and the quantity they offer their customers. No side orders with their main dish , $30 for 4 pieces of fried whiting and an extra $6 for the side order. The bread was stale and the fish was over cooked , the shrimp was swimming in an insipid tomato sauce , the 3 pale lemon potatoes tasted anything but lemon, and the fried calamari came without the old good

Mother’s day lunch/brunch and the food did not disappoint. The service was very good but the vibe was still set for the pretty pre post club crowd. A little too dark a little too loud and the pace a little too slow. From an atmosphere standpoint it was ideal for a late or very late outing but perhaps not for a Mother’s Day brunch. We were definitely not the only ones there for the occasion so management and staff could have take the opportunity to embrace the day rather than give all of us “the

Mediterranean restaurant for thoughtful food with customizable greens & grains bowls, pitas & salad.
CAVA used to be one of my favorite places, but over time the prices went up while the portions got noticeably smaller. Unfortunately, there was also a very strong smell inside the restaurant that made the experience less enjoyable. The food is still decent, but it doesn’t feel as worth it as it used to.

I visited Sea Salt NYC during Eid and tried their prix fixe menu along with the lamb chops. Overall, the food was tasty and well-prepared, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars. However, I was disappointed because I visited specifically after seeing their online menu and was excited to try the mixed grill and lamb shank. When we arrived, one server told us that those dishes had not been available since 2019. This was confusing because we had seen recent reviews from customers mentioning those item

This place is definitely 10/10, from the food to the service. The ambiance is cute for date night. My server Panos was 10/10 and his service was excellent. The food offers many specials on their menu, which my table tried and was satisfied. I had the baby lamb and it was sooo tender. The grilled octopus was grilled to perfection. My sister had the lamb chops, which came with a delicious glaze. My cousins enjoyed the oysters. The fried calamari was fried lightly and is also one of my fav. The lob

Aliada is a FANTASTIC & AUTHENTIC Greek restaurant in ASTORIA! We had such an amazing dinner here tonight. We shared the saganaki and horiataki for appetizers and both were very good. The dinners were even better. We had the swordfish, moussaka, and soutzoukakia for our dinners. The swordfish was OUTSTANDING! It was a fresh, generous perfectly chargrilled. The next best dish was the soutzoykakia which was absolutely DELICIOUS! The moussaka was also delicious but my personal favorite was

Had an amazing experience at Meatup in Dumbo. The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced — exactly what I was craving. I ordered the chicken bowl and it was packed with so many delicious components: crisp lettuce, pickled onions and cabbage, sumac onions, feta cheese, shredded carrots, creamy labne, smoky babaganoush, and rich hummus. Everything worked so well together without feeling heavy, and the chicken was cooked just right. The flavors were vibrant but still comforting, and th

recently visited Halal Boyz and decided to try their chicken tikka for the first time. I have to say, it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was incredibly flavorful and cooked to perfection. I also took the cashier's recommendation to try the extra crispy pita bread, and it was a fantastic choice. The pita was perfectly crispy and added a wonderful texture that paired beautifully with the chicken. The service was really friendly, and the staff was eager to help with recommendations. I left fe

Great atmosphere and delicious food! I loved the cozy, relaxed vibe of this place. The staff were very polite and helpful. The lamb kebab pita sandwich was amazing - the well seasoned lamb and grilled vegetables were served hot and paired perfectly with the rich tahini sauce. It was quite filling and satisfying. I'll be back again for sure.

Popular eatery serving Middle Eastern favorites like pitzas in a comfortable setting.
Probably the best middle eastern food we have eaten so far. It was Christmas night and we were so tired after driving forever to see Rockefeller na sit being so busy. We were trying to find a place open and after about an hour I find this place and go. We were super hungry and don’t really care. On appearance this place looks kind of sketchy. It’s super small and can fit at most like 10-15 people inside. But it makes it kind of fun. We order their falafel, falafel sandwich, baba Tanish, tabboule

Fantastic lunch in a pleasant environment with friendly service. The food was really tasty, made with good quality ingredients. We loved the hummus topped with lamb shawarma and schnitzel dish. Real food, made with intention and served with organic but beautiful presentation. Great vibes all around, would definitely go back.

Very good food, nice vibe, and great service. The food was very fresh, the flavors intense and complex. The portions are on the smaller side, but the final bill was okay. I would skip the sweet potatoes (batata) because it was too plain, but in the other hand the cabbage was an unexpected hit: tender, charred and delicious. The waitress was very attentive, friendly, and service was quick. Very cozy interior.

HORRIBLE!!! Terrible service, overpriced for food that is extremely mediocre and bland. Lady in front is extremely unprofessional and rude and kept going back and forth with me, telling me I did not order what i ordered. WTH? My husband was right next to me when I placed the order and confirmed what was said. I simply told her the order was incorrect even though SHE confirmed with me when ordering. Miscommunications happen, I get it. But not taking accountability and arguing with me was somethin

Rounding down - would give this a 2.5. Shawarma is just ground beef and pita was cold and not warmed through. Wings were what you’d expect from frozen wings. Great in a pinch, though you should expect to wait 10-15 minutes for your order. Not great value for $30 (chicken wings and shawarma wrap). Nothing wrong with the food itself - just wasn’t noteworthy. There are significantly better options in the area IMO.

Came here in a Saturday afternoon for a diner breakfast at my 10 year olds request. Loved it. It is my new go-to diner location. Their food came fast, fresh and the staff is friendly. The booths are clean and comfy. It is not as large as the typical diner but it if you want that classic diner meal..this is the place to go. Their food prices are great. I left feeling the meal was worth the price and would definitely return.

I'm so glad I finally decided to come and try this restaurant. The staff and the owner were the absolute sweetest and kindest, I felt right at home as if they were my uncles and brothers. The owner made me get free rice pudding on the house and I got to try their lentil soup as well, which was very cozy. The owner let me try the hummus and as someone who is picky about hummus, their's had such a nice zing to it. It was thick and smooth, coated my mouth and gone in seconds. As for the shawarma,

I will give 5 starts for the food, they are delicious, love everything I got. 3 star for the service because some of them are nice and welcoming, others are not 1 for the atmosphere because how much people are smoking. They have an “indoor outdoor” area that allow smoking. The issue is the outdoor area is connected to the indoor and they never shut the door so essentially the heavy smoke traveled everywhere.

The service is pleasant and quick without any issues. I am not ashamed that i came here three days in a row haha. This definitely won’t be the last time i come here!

One of the most underrated Greek restaurants. I tried...really tried to find one item that wasn't incredible. From the Octopus to the Moussaka. From the Greek salad to the Galakotoboureko, everything is balanced as it should be. Not too sweet or salty ok any dish and was pleasantly surprised to call some my new favorites....LIKE THE OCTOPUS and the GALAKTOBOUREKO.

The food had a strange odor and appeared to be unfresh. Upon tasting it, the food had an unpleasant flavor, which raised concerns about its quality and freshness.

We just celebrated our birthday at Hasalon and it was absolutely AMAZING! Everything was super well organized and restaurant staff were super attentive and accommodating. The food was great! And the vibes … we danced so so much!!! Nothing I can say would really do justice to this place.So many memories from just one night! I hope we will come back again and again all the way from Puerto Rico where we now live. @ Hasalon - Thank you for hosting

All the food was incredible from the appetizers (octopus and saganaki) to the entrees (I mean look at that lobster pasta!) to the dessert (I love sour cherries but they're hard to find, such a European staple).

As every time something new opens in our neighborhood, we always love to try it and today was perfect on small business Saturday. That is pretty much all I had to say “nice” about today’s experience.

Then kept repeating it, missing some items or telling us about items we didn’t ask as if we was trying to learn it by heart. I repeated it 3 times and thought I was done…..until the 4th time
