Samantha 💃 Lopez: Chicken Shwarma, falafel, green sauce, red sauce, everything is delicious! And the grape leaves are the best!
Daniel W: Wow. The beef shawarma wrap on whole wheat is so damn good. Got mine with red sauce, jalapeños and other stuff. So fresh and delicious!

Julia Averbuck: The halumi wrapped in grape leaves is absolutely incredible
Joo Kim: Norwegian salmon is one of the best. I didn't know grilling salmon in wine grape leaves could accentuate the flavor so much. It's salmon cooked to it's fullest potential. Tender and juicy. A must.
FLora KLova: Great jazz music for brunch, yami mideterenian food, antique atmosphere, grear service... nice owner... & turkish baklava ;)

Alyssa: Stuffed grape leaves...heaven!
E3Neenz: Just get multiple orders of the mushroom pizza & the brussel sprouts. Leave the mushrooms and crispy polenta. The grape leaves are also tasty. But those brussel sprouts are amazing.
Sexy LF: Amazing date night spot with out of sight tapas. Go for the fried goat cheese balls, the chorizo and shrimp skewers and the lamb meatballs.

Celo L: Stuffed grape leaves (with pomegranate reduction!?!?!), kebee, fries, and everything
Tariq Ahmad: Outstanding food. Omelettes and kabobs are awesome.
Dens: Foursquare tips did not do us wrong -- kebabs are great, cauliflower is great. The pita & hummus & olive oil you get right after you sit may be the best part tho. a bit pricey. I bet brunch is killer

Elizabeth Walla: Try the wolfermann rose & the grape leaves app
Valentin Guerin: If you don't know the place you might just stay at the bar downstairs, huge mistake! Enjoy a dinner upstairs or in the garden, with live piano and great cocktails.
eFlirt Expert: A date spot with ambiance. If its nice out, ask for seating in the garden. If it's happy hour, take advantage of $6 craft cocktails and $1 oysters (aphrodisiacs!).

Eric Tash: Great service. Food is solid too. Ordered Greek meatballs, stuffed grape leaves and other native delectables. Ill be back.
Paige Hoffstein: Delicious food and a really fun atmosphere! Total hidden gem - although not THAT hidden because it was packed on a Tuesday night.
The Corcoran Group: Come and enjoy delicious Greek food, especially the Grilled Calamari, Shrimp & Octopus, and get a whole Bronzini. The clintele skews older.

Aysha: Red Sangria is to die for. Sit upstairs for a more intimate experience. Crab cakes are delicious!
An Occes: Everything about this place is amazing. The wait staff, bartenders, the patrons and the ambiance makes for a nice date, party or lounge spot. My new favorite place in NYC!
