What to order: Octopus (grilled octopus) · Chicken Souvlaki with Lemon Potatoes · Spanikopita (spinach pie) · Lamb FricasseeFrom Google Maps reviews.
The octopus is PERFECTLY cooked. The flavors are incredible. I only wish it came with some potato or salad underneath. We also got the lamb fricassee, that sauce is so lovely and lemony. I think the lamb was just a touch over cooked but that is my only note on that dish. We got a half portion of rice on the side and I would recommend so you can savor every last bit of the sauce! The service is great, and I love the atmosphere. It feels like old New York and you are surrounded by Greek families i
Pretty convinced this is the best authentic Greek food spot and prefer this over others in the neighborhood. The go to is always chicken souvlaki with lemon potatoes. The spanikopita and skordallia are also divine. The fish is brilliantly prepared and flavorful as well. It's loud and lively in here but I think it's part of the charm. We come here for birthdays and the food never disappoints. Thank you Stamatis.
Fantastic food! Recommend a stop here if you’re close… or just want to train in from Manhattan for some amazing Greek food. Just a stone’s throw from the train.
