This might not be everyone's cup of tea, especially if you're not used to Mediterranean food. It was tasty, healthy, and authentic to the region. I got the combination platter which came with gyro, greek sausage, greek salad, pita bread and chargrilled vegetables. The portions were solid. Everything tasted fresh. This place is seed-oil free and cooks with extra virgin olive oil that is imported from Greece. Vegetables are bought locally from NY farmers markets. Service was quick and efficient, and the seating area is clean and well put together.

We also met Anna, who was incredibly kind and welcoming. She took the time to explain everything to us and helped us choose, which made the whole experience even more special.

Don't get me wrong, it's a sweet indulgence that I enjoy every now and then, but knowing only pure ingredients are used such as cashews, dates, coconut and I believe lemon makes me feel very good about what I'm eating. Plus the pie in the sky, which is my favorite is delicious!

My personal happy place to come and enjoy one of my many favorites, toasted brick oven rolls with butter and a tall hazel nut latte. Always enjoy their tasty Italian breads made right there on the premises, as well as all their pastries and cakes. Customer services is top notch and the music is great. I ordered my daughters bridal shower cookies and everyone enjoyed them. I look forward to going to the sweet shop on weekends, never disappointed. If you're in the neighborhood come in and enjoy the coffee of the day and try their breads, and assorted pastries. Thank you, Sweet Shop Bakery Maria

Whole wheat sour dough on the side. Ricotta pretty much has no taste so the omelette was bland - not their fault. Bacon was good. Bread was amazing. This is kind of self service where you have to order your meal on the bakery side and pay. You get a number for the table. You take your own plastic cutlery, napkins etc. you have to ask for butter. They have an amazing menu. I'd go back for lunch but the bakery selection is still my favorite part!!

We decided that Basil is our official spot for whenever we meet up. The ambience is different than other restaurants on the island. The beautiful teal on the walls takes me on vacation. The food is and always has been over the top delicious. I've tried so many different dishes throughout the year and we have not had a mediocre or subpar dish yet. All the flavors to each dish are distinct and come together like a beautiful symphony in my mouth. The Patiala Goat Curry has become a favorite along with their garlic naan I tried for the first time about a month ago. The other orders on the table were Chicken Korma, Coconut Chicken Pepper Curry, Tandoori Chicken and a Stir Fry Chicken off of their Thai menu. Each and every single one of us left with a blissful heart, smile and stomach with leftovers. The staff here is always welcoming, accommodating and cater towards our palates and preferences. This restaurant remains one of my favorite spots on Staten Island. Highly recommended to dine in and experience the fresh food.

Delicious pizza that satisfies every time. Phone/registry staff are very pleasant and helpful, and they're always willing to confirm our allergy concerns with the kitchen.

We visited this highly-rated restaurant on a weekday and were disappointed by the experience. Upon…read morearrival, the dining room was empty with no staff to greet us. After waiting ten minutes, we found a young waitress in the back and were told to seat ourselves. When another couple arrived, she became the sole server for both tables. The service was poor throughout. She didn't offer menu suggestions, simply asking if we were ready to order. When we requested drinks, she brought the wrong items like Diet Pepsi instead of Diet Coke, and seltzer water instead of Sprite. She then disappeared for an extended period, spending most of her time at the host stand rather than checking on tables. We ate without drinks. We wanted to ask for more bread she was no where to be found. The neighboring couple had similar issues, mentioning she forgot their coffee order entirely. While we sympathized that she may have been new or inexperienced, the lack of attentiveness and basic service fundamentals made for an uncomfortable dining experience that didn't match the restaurant's reputation. The ambiance seemed very old school and family friendly. There were a ton of tables but it was also very cold like the heater at the restaurant wasn't working. The food took a long time, the food was great but honestly we didn't ask for anything big. It was just spaghetti and chicken parm.
