- Naz ColakogluAugust 12, 2015Hidden Gem! Real yummy greek restaurant. By far the best in east side and could easily compete with Kyklades and Pylos. Things to order: octopus, spicy cheese, mousakka , salad #yum
- LindsMarch 13, 2016As frustrating as a 2hr wait sounds, it's worth it. Just grab a drink nearby, they'll call you. Got the house red, tzatziki, salad, octopus, moussaka, lamb and baklava - loved everything!
- Alexis BendjouiaAugust 21, 2015The food comes out really quick! Skip the Greek salad, and go for the spanikopita, fries with egg, octopus, eggplant dip and don't forget wine. Reasonable prices and good to share plates
- Get here early to avoid long waits. At 6:30pm on a Friday the place was mostly empty. All great: spicy cheese dip, horiatiki, octopus, mama's roast chicken. The best? Fries w/ feta and mustard sauce.
- Ranu RajkarnikarFebruary 2, 2016Horiatiki salad and lamb chops. Yes! Some of the best octopus in the city especially. Inexpensive. No wait on a Monday evening but can be busy most nights. But sit, stay awhile and enjoy yourself.

- Celena ChanJuly 27, 2015The mixed meat plate was great for sharing-- would split this with 3-5 people. The tzatziki sauce was a great starter. No reservations, but large space. Friendly, cool, trendy environment.
- Aja BrandmanMarch 31, 2018Such a great spot! They don’t take reservations, but it’s worth the wait if it’s busy. We got a bunch of the small plates, which seemed like the way to go. The octopus and tzatziki were great.Upvoted Feb 24

- Escape CardonaAugust 9, 2018This place is a gem. Dim lighting, the decor and music sets an awesome lively vibe that makes you forget you're in NYC. Try the zuccini chips, greek salad, the spanakopita , grilled octopus . So good.
- Alyssa B.August 10, 2019Why did I not know of this amazing place any sooner. Had the saganaki and octopus for apps. Lamb fricasse and grilled branzino for mains. Amazing taste and fast service. Definitely returning soon.

- John EJanuary 29, 2016Cool Greek spot w/ dark ambiance and a neverending series of rooms. The Pastitchio (like Moussaka sans the eggplant), Lamb Frikasse, and Zucchini Chips were delish. Octopus slightly disappointed.
- Ben K.March 19, 2017Hidden, delicious, affordable Greek food in the LES. Try the eggplant, tzatziki, and lamb shank.
