Souvlaki GR – Midtown East

John Hatzis 2 months ago

For those with taste buds that were refined summering in Greece for many years, the taste of the souvlaki pita is unmistakably familiar. Warm pita break, pork pieces cut small, just the right amount of tzatziki, and, of course, French fries. The only question that remains is whether to order two, or go directly for three. They have other great dishes too, but the pita is a must.

Took me back to Greece. They have created a beautiful, homely (blue) ambience, food was on point. Authentic lemon potatoes, roast chicken and fish. And while it wasn't on the menu, they did give me some of their Mastiha.

Hard to see from the street but glad I found it online! I was in town for work and wanted quick, easy, delicious food to take back to my hotel room. This was a perfect choice. Meat skewer, spanakopita, and baklava were all excellent. Really needed that spinach after eating a lot of bagels and cream cheese this week. The dining room was super cozy and the staff kind and courteous. I'd like to go back sometime with friends for dine-in. :)

From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by a warm and cozy atmosphere. The restaurant truly feels like a little piece of Greece in NYC. The service was good. Our server was friendly and recommended the weekly deal which was hard to pass up! For just $30 per person, you get an appetizer, entrée, and dessert. The avgolemono soup was absolutely phenomenal. Very comforting and perfectly balanced with lemony notes that tied all the flavors together beautifully. The tyrokroketes started off delicious however, the aftertaste was a bit strong. If kefalotyri was one of the cheeses used, that would explain the sharpness. While not my personal favorite, it was still enjoyable overall and the dip made it much better. The lamb chops were outstanding, perfectly marinated and full of flavor, paired with fries that were extra crispy and seasoned just right. Unfortunately, the moussaka was extremely disappointing. Every bite was so bland. The béchamel sauce lacked flavor. I expected at least a hint of nutmeg. The ground beef was unseasoned, and the eggplant felt simply tossed in the casserole rather than properly being fried first, leaving it tasteless. Overall, the dish fell flat and in

Amazing little spot in Midtown east, you step in and it’s like being in Greece. Perfect for a date or with friends. I was here for restaurant week and it did not disappoint, the menu for dinner was $30 and it exceeded our expectations. The portions were big and we liked everything. Special mentions: cheese croquettes and the mains (a whole branzino, perfectly cooked and seasoned and lamb chops). We also got a couple of wine glasses and since I got a pine wine the waiter was very thoughtful and let me try it before pouring the full glass in case I didn’t like it. Overall a very nice dinner and I would definitely go back!
