I've been meaning to check this place out, and boy they didn't disappoint, our bartender Danielle was actually friendly attentive and social (haven't had that in a while). When I tell you everything we had was delicious from the seafood tour to the dessert. We had this Greek Sauvignon Blanc delish and her espresso martini perfection. It was early in the dinner shift so it was pretty quiet but the restaurant is definitely giving sexy and initiate. I heard on weekends at night it gets live have to come back and check it out.

Chicken Souvlaki

- Came here for a friend's birthday and was really satisfied with the service and food. We got bottomless brunch, which allowed us to order any of the entrees with the option of multiple drinks. The waiters and the manager were extremely attentive, and the drinks were good, and food options all pretty sizable! I tried the chicken souvlaki, and was pleasantly surprised by the balanced tzatziki flavor and yummy fries. Would definitely come back, and they were accommodating with a wide variety of table sizes.

Love this place. Perfect spot for drinks and snacks--my regular Tuesday instantly turned terrific. We sat at the bar, and I wish I remembered the bartender's name because he was fantastic: courteous, friendly, and made me a great drink. The ambiance and hospitality are on point. We had the Greek salad, Greek fries, and of course a glass of suncere & French 75 not too sweet. The space is beautifully decorated, and the manager actually walks around checking on guests, which I love--great attention to detail. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu.

Kyma is a must if you're visiting NYC and want to have a super fun girls night out. The ambiance, food, and atmosphere is so much fun! Take perfect place for delicious food and if you like to dance. Service is also great. My friends and I went on a Saturday night, and it was packed. We arrived a bit early so we sat at the bar and enjoyed some cocktails while we waited for our reservation time to be seated. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share, which I'd highly recommend as there are so many delicious items you should try there. My favorites were the lamb chops, the branzino, and the halloumi. They were all good portion sizes to share and delicious. We also enjoyed the fresh warm pita they provide. Once we finished our meal, we were take downstairs to their dancing area, where the DJ was playing good music, and we danced the night away! It was such a fun night! I can't wait to come back!

Mediterranean salad
Betty B.

We went here to have dinner with a side of fun!!! Totally worth it, great Mediterranean food. We had this delicious Mediterranean salad to start then we each for a main. Branzino, lamb and short ribs all around the table. The food was great and since we for a late reservation....we were there in perfect time for the after party. The timing couldn't have been better, we had dinner, sang happy birthday, then they threw napkins in the air to some awesome house music. Once we finished dinner we migrated further into the restaurant where it basically thens into a dance party with more napkins being thrown in the air. What great time and a great place for dinner with a side of fun.

Greek Salad
Emilia R.

Came here after trying on wedding dresses and was pleasantly surprised by this lovely menu. The service is quick, the staff were personable and the food was amazing. I came with a party of 5, ordered a bunch of apps and we all shared. We started with the dips and the Greek salad. My friends and I have been on a spicy feta kick and this one did not disappoint. Not too spicy, very creamy, and served with beautiful pita bread. The Greek salad was so flavorful with lots of feta. They serve the halloumi with honey and candied lemon peels. An interesting twist that made my mouth happy. The zucchini chips changed many peoples perspectives on their opinion of the squash at the table. It was served with tzatziki and became a dish that made me look forward to my mother's next zucchini harvest next year. I know what we all will be attempting to make! We ended with the baklava which several people at the table claimed to be one of the best ones they have ever had. Apart from the food, the restaurant offers a great moody ambiance that would make this a great location for a date. The staff were laughing with us as they cleaned several broken glasses one of my friends kept knocking into. No anger, just pure comedy all night long. We truly enjoyed this experience and are eager to come back to this location to indulge in not only a lovely meal, but also great company.

Lobster Pasta
Matt H.

Incredible. Our experience at Kyma was absolutely wonderful. We came in for my birthday dinner and I genuinely can't speak highly enough about the experience that we had. The lobster pasta was extremely good and the appetizers that we had for the table as well as the dessert were all fabulous. Service could not have been better and we were treated extremely well. The ambience of the restaurant is quite loud and more of a party atmosphere but that's exactly what we were looking for and celebrating my birthday. I wouldn't suggest coming here if you're looking for a quiet intimate dinner as that's not really what Cama is about but if you're looking for a more lively experience, look no further because you found your spot. Overall, we had a absolutely great experience at Kmart and would recommend anyone to have a birthday here or fun dinner with friends. We can't wait to come back.

A party of 3 sat at a table for 2!!!

Honestly, this was a terrible experience. We had a 9:00 PM reservation for my sister's birthday celebration and still had to wait 30 minutes to be seated. What's the point of making a reservation if you're not going to honor it? It got worse when they sat our party of three at a table for two. We immediately said it wasn't okay..it was cramped and uncomfortable, especially being right by the kitchen with constant traffic. We didn't see any other party of three being sat at a two-top, which made it even more frustrating. We were also the only three Latinas there, and the whole situation didn't sit right with us. One manager told us he'd get us a table for four, so we waited another 30 minutes... for nothing. No update, no follow-through. Then when I spoke to another manager, he was rude and dismissive. He told us to "look around" because the place was packed and said he had nothing to do with the table situation. No apology, no effort to fix anything. At that point, we just left. Completely ruined what was supposed to be a special birthday celebration. Really disappointing and unprofessional.

This place is so fun! The food was good and plentiful. The waiters were at our service throughout the entire experience. Bartender did great with all of the drinks and for them our fast. Around 10pm, napkins were passed out and the dancing on top of chairs began! Very lively experience.

We went to Kyma with a large group and had dinner. Arrived around 6pm and restaurant was empty, however by the time we left, it was full on a weeknight. It was a wonderful experience all around! The food, service and ambiance was top notch! So glad we found this restaurant, note Kyma also has a different location in Hudson Yards. First, we got a great recommendation from our server regarding the wine, and ended up getting a delicious Greek wine to pair with our meal. For apps, we ordered beets salad (which had pomegranate, and was so flavorful!), hummus dips, octopus, fried zucchini, and crab cakes. We could've skipped the hummus, that was not as impressive in flavor as the beets salad and the crab cakes, which were major highlights! For our entrees, we also had major hits, such as the dorado, giant shrimps, lobster pasta, and braised short ribs. Love the flavor of each dish. Overall, excellent restaurant with great food! Kyma may actually be better than some of famous greek spots in the city! We will absolutely return!

Lamb Chops
Serap A.

I've been to other locations, but this is my first time being in flat iron location. We happen to stumble upon the brunch menu, which was fine. Appetizers were great. My husband had the lamb chops, which he described was very delicious. Service was great. There was not a lot of people however there was a group of people that were quite loud and we had to move towards the front which was more empty and less of a headache.

Tzatziki
Stephanie N.

My sister wanted to do her bachelorette here but decided against it, so we came post wedding for dinner instead. I have spent time in the Mediterranean so my comparison will be a bit biased. We got the dolmas, 6 dips, octopus and sea bass. Overall the food was good, but not excellent or superb. In terms of quality of ingredients and how close they can mimic to authentic Mediterranean dishes, pretty good. The servers did a good iob explaining all the gluten free and non dairy options to me as I have some food restrictions, I asked for veggie sticks instead of bread for the dips and they were very accomodating.

Chicken Skewers
Melinda L.

I came here for bottomless brunch and I feel like there are better alternatives in the city. The restaurant is super cute and adorable, service is good, but food is extremely mediocre. For bottomless, they offer mimosas, sangria and bloody mary's. Unfortunately, they didn't have bloody mary's when we went, but we got our fair share of mimosas and sangria. I like that this place makes it more champagne than orange juice. Same with the sangria in the sense that it's not as sweet as some other ones I've tried. In terms of the food, you can select any entrees in the bottomless deal except for 3 (salmon, steak, lamb chops), which you could get with an additional $7. We mostly all ordered the chicken skewers and beef burgers. While the food was aesthetically pleasing when it came out, it tasted very average. The chicken skewers were quite dry. The salad was good and the fries tasted normal. In terms of the burger, it was also okay. Overall, we came here because it accepted last minute reservations for bottomless brunch the day before for a large group. However, I don't think I would come back for brunch, but I'm hopeful that their dinner service could be better.

Felt like it would've been better if we were just standing the whole time. The patio furniture indoors is a nice idea but just impractical to eat more than one dish off of. I'm not sure how they've lasted so long with this layout. Food was okay, nothing outstanding. Not worth the pain of simply sitting in the space. Sad because I think it could be a lot better if the just sacrificed two tables and switched to more stable furniture. Enjoyed the time with my friends here but I would go elsewhere next time.

Kiki's has been on my list since I moved to NYC ~5 years ago and it was finally time to try it out!…read moreI went with a group of 4 on a Friday around 6:45pm. Unsurprisingly, there was a long line to put down our names on that gloriously warm and sunny spring evening. We were told the wait time was 1-1.5 hours which honestly went by so fast because there are so many fun places around the area. We got our table at around 8pm in the restaurant area right across the street. I can definitely see the timeless appeal of this place-- the vibes are so fun, the energy is young and vibrant, lights are dim, the music is loud, the smell of sizzling grilled meats and fries fills the space -- all of this hidden behind the facade of a printshop in Chinatown. It's a one-of-a-kind place. The food was pretty good and reasonably priced. We shared: - bottle of orange wine: very generously priced which we easily split amongst us 4. The wine was bright, refreshing and had a lot of body. - dips: we ordered the tzaitziki and the fava bean dip. They accidentally gave us the tirokafteri (or spicy feta) initially which was ironically my favorite dip out of the ones we tried, with the perfect creamy and spicy balance. The tzaitziki was also delicious, refreshing, and cool. The fava bean dip eventually came and it was a bit flat in flavor and texture compared to the other two. It tasted like blended fava beans with some capers on top and no other flavor elements. It was also a bit dry and I was expecting a texture more similar to hummus. The dips came with very delicious pita/regular bread and we also asked for cucumber slices for our gluten free friend (didn't know this was an option but cool!). - octopus: pretty small portion for 4 people but amazing! The octopus was super tender and flavorful. Considering how busy this place is, I was surprised at how well made this was. They have the dish mastered. Highly recommend! Would order again. - gigante beans: tomato bean stew, pretty good and filling! Good to share if you want something a bit more hearty and warm. Also gluten free! Perfect for colder months. - saganaki: I think I would come back exclusively for this alone. It's the perfect dish: the salty and melty cheese is packed inside layers of crispy, flaky, buttery phyllo, with sweet honey on top. This had the perfect balance of flavors and textures. I would order one for myself next time. Definitely a crowd favorite. - mixed grill: the menu said this was for 3 but it was actually a very generous portion for us 4. Delicious meats: it had lamb chops, some chicken and pork souvlaki, Greek sausage, and ground beef patties, all over a bed of well seasoned fries and pita. Truly a stellar dish. Perfect to share and super satisfying. - desserts: we tried the baklava and cheesecake. The baklava came completely without structure and was not that good (too heavy on the cinnamon for my taste and not enough filling), however the cheesecake was rich and creamy with a tangy flavor that perfectly balanced the sweet strawberries and delicious crust! Very well made. My major critique is that the service was quite disappointing. I felt like our waitress was not very kind/ helpful/ was annoyed at us perpetually for no good reason. Additionally, items in our order were messed up or came out too late (which is usually acceptable because we all make mistakes but flagging down anyone for help was virtually impossible). Ultimately, I would probably come again with a group of young people because the food was so good and affordable. The vibe is also pretty unique. However, Kiki's could certainly benefit from polishing its service a bit/ hiring more staff so there is enough attention to customers. While they understandably manage tremendous volumes of people, especially over weekends, that should not come at the expense of the customer experience.
