Paula: Greek salad and octopus is a must!
Amy Lukes: The freshest food I've ever had. Everything has great, real flavors. Prices are not that bad considering quality. Loved the saganaki, pita with hummus, and Greek salad. Kabobs ok, but the rice was 👍
Graham Hughes: Totally authentic. The greek salad was as good as it gets. Love the vibe. Will be back for the fish, which looked delicious.

Chelsea Balkan: #FabuLIST #DubiDO tasty authentic Greek. Get the Haloumi, Greek salad, and Bifteki Souvlaki. I'm sure everything here is good though! And loved the bread basket.

ZenFoodster: My other fave: Soba seaweed salad has 4 different types of seaweed, tomatoes, & a yummy soy-sesame yogurt dressing. ;9
ZenFoodster: If ur in a hurry, Sakagura's lil' shop "Kiosku"-on lobby level-sells their signature bentos & bowls 4 less: Griulled Black Cod Bento, Vegetable Medley Beef Curry, Trio Inari bento, to name a few...
Sakura Yagi: The Grilled Black Cod is one of my favorite bento boxes prepared by Sakagura's head chef Honma. The bentos are even good cold mmmm....

Trendy Danie: Fresh salad ; wide varieties of selections
Jane A: Eggplant tomato soup and wild mushroom, pesto, mozzarella pizza are amazing!
Douglas Kurdziel: They have moved some hot sandwiches (like the wonderful Telera and steak sandwich) to the counter in the back - don't miss them!
Will Andrich: Mixed greens salad is excellent
Douglas Elliman: A hidden gem. This chic Italian restaurant is modern yet cozy. We love the food, the cocktails, the service and the location. You must go and try the Pumpkin Gnocchi. It is out of this world!!!!
Jean Poh: Service sub par. Lots if co fusion over simple drink orders and required a lot of hand holding. Let the tourists have this one, I'm not keen.

Amna Bin Dhaher: You won't go wrong with either kebab or falafel sandwich. Just make sure you ask for extra tahini dressing and the green spicy one.
Caroline Wu: Best falafels in town, get them however you want! (Roll, bowl, salad).
Fahad: Love it! Chicken Shawarma w\ the garlic sauce is delicious. Falafel is good also. Both could be a little warmer though. Highly recommend.
