Escape Cardona: This 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.
Naz Colakoglu: Hidden 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
Nick Andlinger: Unbelievable. Hands down the best Greek food outside of Astoria. Get the octopus, fish of the day, and moussaka. Baklava is out of this world

Stefano Guidolin: My favorite greek restaurant in the city, everything is simple and really tasty, looks like an authentic family place in Greece! Don't forget to finish your dinner with some Ouzo ;)
Eater: This restaurant is now the foremost provider of classic Attic octopus in the East Village, served with grilled toasts saturated with olive oil. Read more.
Jaimee Estreller: Amazing spot if you're craving authentic Greek food. Get the grilled octopus, pan-fried sardines, and the lemon potatoes. Portions are on the bigger side too. Free dessert at the end is solid too :)

The Taste Sheriff: Best Greek food in NY. Closest to everyday Greek cuisine you can find outside of Greece. Save space for galaktoboureko for desert!
Nick Burto: Service here is excellent and the food is even better. Recommend the dips, saganaki & moussaka!

Tracy Leiken: Good food bad service and rude hostesses.
New York Habitat: Simple Greek food done right. Don't come here without trying the fresh fish by the pound. We recommend the Tsipoura, Lavraki, and Fagri.

Zoë E.: Incredible food, great service and an adorable atmosphere. No need to order hummus - they bring you hummus and pita when you sit down. Say it's your birthday - you're in for a treat.
The Corcoran Group: Come and enjoy delicious Greek food, especially the Grilled Calamari, Shrimp & Octopus, and get a whole Bronzini. The clintele skews older.
Dan Berube: Great service and yummy seafood. Grilled calamari is the best I've had.

Sarper Boz: This is a Turkish man commenting on a Turkish desert prepared by a Greek restaurant, i.e. ekmek. I ate the best of its kind in this restaurant - including the ones in Turkey. Great job!
Petr Thiel: Great food and service!
Dianna H.: Food was absolutely delicious but they tried to charge me $3.50 for the "extra tzatziki" I asked for with the gyro I ordered without telling me that was the cost when I asked for it. Not cool 👎
