Went to Kyma last week for dinner and it was wonderful. We started off with a bottle of wine. For appetizers we got the Kyma chips which are fried zucchini and eggplant with a tzatziki sauce for a dip. These are my absolute favorite, always a must. We also got the sesame feta which is to die for!!!! And the fried calamari. For dinner I got the salmon entree which came with rice. The salmon was delicious, I'm so picky with salmon and I was so glad it didn't have the fishy taste. For dessert I got the chocolate lava cake with a cappuccino. Absolutely delicious! Also I have to add that the service was outstanding. Our server was so helpful and sweet we also had some other people who were probably managers come up to the table to make sure everything was good. Can't wait to go back for dinner. read more

We met some friends here on a Sunday night in part to catch up before the holidays and to hear about a recent trip they took out west. Having tried this great restaurant before, Laura made reservations for the four of us to come back for dinner. Such an awesome pick! Kyma is a beautiful establishment and is total class. Our table was spacious and had plenty of room for all of the appetizers and entrees we would soon ravage. You'll want to dress nicely to dine here but not necessarily over the top. The decor inside lets you know that you're in for a special evening. Well lit and warm, Kyma has certainly got it covered in the fine dining atmosphere department. Valet parking and coat check are great additions to the upscale environment. I strongly recommend that if you are a fan of octopus, you try theirs. We also ordered mussels that were very good as well. Since the temperature outside had dropped 18 degrees in just a few hours, I had a bowl of lobster bisque to warm my insides as well. 5 stars for the octopus, 4 for the mussels, but I have to admit that I have had better bowls of bisque. Good but not great. Complimentary bread bowls were a hit as well- we even asked for more to sop of some of the flavorful juices from our other apps. I also strongly recommend the Saganaki- Our waiter, Joseph, suggested it for the table and it was devoured by us all. I hope i do it justice by describing it as a fried cheese that you cant wait to stuff into your mouth and then go back for more. For entrees we had the following: Swordfish- delicious and cooked perfectly. A huge portion that will be a hit for lunch the next day as it was too much to eat. Lavraki- What we italians would call bronzino. Also, delicious and portions large enough to make a meal of on the next day. King crab legs- these babies didnt stand a chance- served with clarified butter and a mustard dipping sauce, they were large enough to share and to stuff the stomach of yours truly. Pair the food with a bottle of wine, a couple of martinis and a Mykonos mule and some more martinis and you have a party that lasted the whole night through. It may seem like a lot of drinks, but we were literally at the table, catching up and telling stories for three and a half hours. The help came and constantly filled our water glasses, replaced plates and attended all our needs without ever making us feel like we had overstayed our welcome. Nothing speaks class like being a great host. As you can imagine from this 5 star review, we will certainly come back to Kyma for a special evening out. The meal will certainly set you back a few bucks, but I'm one who believes that certain meals and experiences are well worth the money spent. Having an evening out with great food, service, and friends such as the one we had last night- priceless! read more

Went to Kyma for dinner last night. The food and service was excellent. We had some appetizers along with the dover sole special and salmon. The sole was perfectly prepared. This place is blessed with some great staff. Everyone from the valet to the bartender and waiters do their job well. Thank you Oliver and Ricky for making it a nice dining experience. read more

I've been here twice. Once in March for my birthday with some girlfriends and again last night with two other people for a covid friendly small dinner bday meal. Let me start by saying the food here is PHENOMENAL. Yes, pricey, but if you're not willing to pay, probably just don't go. Both times we did not eat one bad thing. Service on the other hand both times was severely subpar. In March, yes, they were very busy but we had a reservation for 8 people that we had to wait over and hour past til we were seated. The host claimed they had the reservation for a half hour later in which I showed the confirmation and she stated she "doesn't know what happened". None the less, we still waited severely past our reservation time. They made up for it with two free appetizers which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Last night when we dined there we enjoyed the outdoor seating under the tent. It was not overly crowded. We promptly got water and the scannable menu card to review the drinks and food menu. Problem being our waiter did not come back for about 25 minutes after that. We watched him give great attention to the two tables next to us and then continuously just walk past us. This happened all night long between visits. We would have had way more drinks and a way higher tab if we weren't being outright ignored. Food is out of this world, service needs a great deal of help. read more

This place was amazing! Just like I was eating in Greece. Service was exemplary, loved our waiter. Kyma chips and eggplant starters were awesome. Langoustines yummy. Only reason for 4 stars- langoustines were very expensive. I probably should have asked, but would have been a 5th star service if hey would have mentioned the market price as I was ordering. But I loved it. If I'm ever back in the area will return for sure. read more

Beautiful atmosphere. The food and service were great. Will definitely go back. Highly recommended!

Ambiance was great. Awesome place to go on a date or with a group of friends. The food was amazing! Everything we ordered was delicious. The octopus, grilled calamari and the spreads on the appetizers section are a must try. This place is overall on the pricier side, but I highly recommend having a birthday dinner or date night here. read more

This place deserves more than 5 stars! It is on the pricey side but it's worth every penny. The staff is wonderful and the food and venue are great. My waiter Matt was so attentive and wonderful and made sure the food was okay to eat for my bf due to his shrimp allergy. I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

Went there for Christmas Eve. Despite coming on time for our reservation, we still had to wait 30 minutes because it was crowded. That wasn't the problem, the problem was one of my family members found A HAIR IN THEIR FOOD!!!!!!! They ordered the crab cake and the hair happened to be baked into the crab meat. No one apologized, our waiter just told the manager and they took it off of our check. I understand it was a busy night however, I believe someone should have been respectful enough to say sorry that this has happened. read more

I went to Kyma after a college tour to NYC with my daughter. We ordered a grilled octopus for appetizer and then a Greek tomato salad and a branzino with mashed potatoes with feta cheese (side dish). Food was great and the service as well. read more

I've been to Kyma several times, including last night. It's a mixed bag: + big, airy, well-lit and well-decorated space, with plenty of staff from the squadron of valet parking guys to ample waitstaff and busboys - but the size of the place, and numerous large, boisterous parties, makes it very loud inside - the din was definitely distracting + service is good: efficient, professional, responsive + food is generally good: decent appetizers, well-prepared and fresh-tasting grilled fish and other mains - prices, however, range from high to borderline obscene: by way of example, an app consisting of a stack of fried zucchini and eggplant "Kyma" chips is $19; the grilled Halloumi app is $17; a vegetable pasta main is $29; moussaka is $31... Wine markups are similarly steep: a ~$12 (retail) bottle went for $49. So while overall this is a solid "upscale" Greek option, be prepared for some sticker shock when the bill arrives: your wallet may well cringe... read more

I am very disappointed in this restaurant. The apps were very good, we had the zucchini and eggplant chips, dips, crab cake (excellent) and fried calamari (soggy and rubbery). My sisters has grilled fish and they enjoyed it. I had the Plaki and didn't like it at all, it was SALTY and the fish was mushy, yuk, sauce was gross. But what I was really upset about was the service. Our waiter took our order and than basically ignored us, but definitely knew how to jump around and be attentive to a group that came in with flashy name brand clothes. I guess make sure your waiter can see that you have expensive clothes than you can expect good service. We were asking our bust boy for drinks and thankfully the sommelier was super nice and attentive and got us some wine. Since our waiter was MIA I told the sommelier that it was my sisters birthday and I saw him talking to a gentleman in a suit and pointing to my sister so I assume that he told him it was her birthday. But I guess we were not good enough or not Greek enough to have a stupid cake brought for her. Finally my friend got up and told the waiter who finally brought a cake after we paid our check and were done with our meal, really ? I witnessed multiple tables around us get a cake brought to their table and multiple people take that 2 min to sing happy birthday, not us. I would never be back here, don't judge a book by it's cover. read more

I wanted to update this review in the context of COVID and take-out. My husband and I have chosen not to eat out at restaurants but have been ordering in quite a bit. Unfortunately, we have have mostly disappointing experiences with regard to portion size and quality, even from places we've frequented before. For our anniversary we always eat at Kyma and order my favorite meal (Lobster pasta) when we're not traveling. So we ordered take-out and decided to have dinner at home. We were not disappointed! In fact, the portion size of the lobster pasta was just as large and delicious as it always is. The calamari had all the sauces it should come with, and they still sent table bread and hummus. We were so very happy to see that Kyma is not skimping on their take-out orders. We simply had to update this review and thank Kyma for still making our anniversary enjoyable. read more

Really good but really expensive Fish is delicious, the lamb chops were great, sides are awesome but like I said very expensive. Service while not bad, could have been a little better Many places in Queens that are just as good, but not as nice or "cool" for half the price read more

Where do i begin? The music for a restaurant was extremely and unnecessary loud! From the minute we sat down i felt rushed. First, Menus were given to us and immediately We were notified of the specials and without even looking at the menu asked if we were ready to order. Secondly there is Nothing more rude and annoying than being interrupted while having conversation or trying to eat being asked if everything is ok. I legit kid you not we were asked every 5 minutes if everything is ok by different people. As a restaurant owner and foodie that is annoying and unprofessional. Food was ok nothing special. Really disappointed. read more

This is one of the most beautiful restaurants I have been to in Roslyn. This spacious restaurant has mainly white decor paired with beautiful blue murals. Definitely order the Kyma chips (fried zucchini and eggplant) which is served with tzatziki sauce, these are so GOOD. Their Greek Salad has no lettuce, its tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, onions, olives, EVOO and feta. It's really fresh and delicious but if you are looking for a traditional salad, this isn't for you. Their menu has a wide selection of entrees from seafood to pastas to meat dishes. I always get their vegetarian pasta which is penne mixed with fresh sautéed vegetables. Their cocktails are amazing and beautifully presented. Their actual bar area is huge and it gets really busy on certain nights. The service is always professional and prompt and the manager is always seen doing table visits. I haven't been to their weekend brunch but it's definitely on my list. read more

AH-MA-ZING, ambiance was great, waiter who took care of us, whose name I believe was Harris was amazing. Held great conversations and gave us great recommendations as first timers. It's been bookmarked for a years in Yelp and I finally made it there. The Hesitancy came from my husband since he loves his meats and the menu is filled with fish. But he enjoyed all the food we ordered and had lamb chops. First time I tried zucchini chips and they were delicious, not oily and tasty. My daughter had the fries and enjoyed the pita bread. My husband and I of course snuck in some fries and they tasted great. Lightly seasoned, flavorful, fresh and not oily! The grilled jumbo shrimp and watermelon salad was great. Between the three of us (my daughter being 2) we def couldn't finished everything. But everything tasted great. Def recommend and I'm happy my hubby enjoyed it.... Hahahaha another point for me. read more

Even during these strange times, Service was great. Food was incredible. Outside dining was great.

Beautiful place. Delicious food with great portions for the price. My husband had red snapper and I had moussaka. Both were insanely good and the fish especially was fresh and light. No disappointments, perfect place for a nice date night! read more

Great ambiance and fantastic food and service one of the best Greek food I have ever tried

If you're not from the area, you will fall in love with the drive to Kyma. Quaint restaurants and stores along the way sets the mood for the Mediterranean feel this restaurant offers. Great outdoor space/seating. Perfect for those cool summer nights to chill or maybe a date. Indoor dining area does not fall short either. Service on point. Kyma chips- eggplant and zucchini chips, delish! A definite no brainer. A tad on the oily side. Grilled Octopus- always a winner. Tender. Pink Snapper - IMO the better fish choice. Perfectly seasoned, light meal. A yes for those watching their weight i.e. Everyone. Won't hesitate one bit to come back. read more

Drop your weekend plans and get your butt to Kyma now! My cousin knows the way to my heart (food) and got me a generous gift card for dinner. TIP -I tried to make a reservation for Saturday night on Monday and they were already jam packed booked -- so I suggest you make a reso in advance. Beautiful interior. Big bar. Very friendly staff. Attractive bartenders. We ordered a few apps and shared the bronzini whole fish -- it was one of the best I've ever had-- seriously melted in your mouth. Our server suggested our drinks which were delicious and told us the ones to stay away from (she was so honest!) She also recommended us have her favorite dessert which was incredible -- I LOVE when the suggestions are on point! I can't wait to come back here -- truly a great experience. read more

They served nice warm pita and delicious grilled bread coated with olive oil and humus dip. I had a wonderful cocktail, vodka infused with fresh pineapple; my husband had an Old Fashioned, straight up, very good. We ordered Kyma chips, a tower of fried zucchini and eggplant slices served with tzatziki sauce and saganaki- Greek fried cheese. These are the best- it was so much, we took some home. My main course was whole branzino, fileted, with capers, lemon, EVOO. It is presented with the head making two large filets when split in half. It was excellent, maybe the best I've had, served with a good rice pilaf with leeks. My husband had Dorado, also very good, with a side of couscous with tomatoes and diced carrots, not that good. We shared broccoli rabe with feta and garlic. It was fine. We had Ekmek for dessert, Greek shredded phyllo topped with pastry cream and a layer of toasted pistachios. It was good. read more

5 star experience, ambiance, music, appetizers, service and drinks..... however, unfortunately I have to account for the entree, which was absolutely dreadful. So bad that I took 3 bites and got so nauseous I had to move the plate across the table and chase it down with some strong tequila. If you know me at all you'd know that I am the human black hole and I enjoy eating almost anything so it was surprising to me that their "Youvetsi" or baby lamb shank meal was inedible. All in all I am willing to come back and give this place a second chance because I had fun but I implore anyone reading this to STAY AWAY from the youvetsi!! read more

Very disappointing experience. The food was delicious- the service was horrible. We got our appetizers and then the drinks came when we were almost done with the appetizers. We were trying so hard to flag someone down to help us. The waiters name on the receipt was Johnathan but I'm not even sure who our waiter was. One person took our order- but he wasn't our waiter. Another person came and asked if we are ready for our main course. No one bothered to check on us throughout the course of the meal, to see if we like our drinks, and whenever we needed something it felt like it was a burden to get someone to help. We even Tried to stop someone and they literally kept walking- more than once. If you have 5 star prices, you should offer 5 star service. Very disappointed and I will not be back. read more

Ahhh!!!! Heaven Food. Great people. It's always fun to go there with a bunch of friends.

Food and atmosphere was excellent. Took one star for length of time for food to come out, I will say my chicken was seasoned well but heavy on the salt. Rice pilaf was excellent. Everyone around me had fish snd there was no smell which meant the fish was very fresh. Chairs were not that comfortable, but I did feel staff was excellent! read more

Got together with a bunch of friends for my 50th high school reunion. Every single dish we tried from the appetizers the main dishes to the desserts were absolutely out of this world. There wasn't a missed note in the whole group. Wonderful service. Fantastic Ambience. Of course, made all the better for seeing old friends, but what a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommended read more

service was amazing,the food is fresh and delicious,the environment is very pleasant and im definitely coming back

Amazing Greek food! A little pricey but definitely worth it! Portion sizes are big can be shared. The decor is so beautiful that I actually felt like I was in Santorini again! My only con was that it gets really loud when it's full. We had to scream to talk even in a close seating arrangement. read more

Food was decent when they opened but they have seriously been going downhill. Service, food, overall vibe is pretty disappointing. Many of my Greek friends who initially loved the place said they would never step foot in the restaurant again. Firstly, they are getting sloppy with the quality and handling of ingredients, especially the seafood. I mean if 8 out of 14 people at the table get shrimp dishes with the shrimp uncleaned and poop veins intact, there is a huge problem with the kitchen. That is a detail that separates the pros from the amateurs. For the price tag, this should not be expected! Plus, serving old fish is not something you can hide and they don't even try to. The staff is also poorly managed, especially the hostesses. More often than not, they are on their phones or in a corner gossiping, while a line of guests builds up. Or, 40 minutes into your meal they tell you that you have to give up the table since they have other reservations to cater to, even though your main course hasn't arrived. I'm sorry, but as long as I am ordering food and a paying customer I think handling the reservations should not be of my concern. Not my fault you choose to overbook... As sad as it is to say, especially looking back on how good the beginnings of Kyma were, I have to say that they sold-out. It's pretty obvious they are more concerned with making money than maintaining a business of integrity. Many people I know who were regulars are turning away and now I think it's just for the showy crowd who have little concern for food or quality dining. Such a shame... The owners did so much better with Kalamaki, a fast food style restaurant that most of Roslyn wished they didn't close! read more

Nice Greek restaurant with good food. I had the fish for dinner and the molten lava cake for dessert. I personally thought the dessert was better than the dinner entree. Overall a good experience at Kyma read more

Service is decent though they tried to rush us out at the end. The Kyma chips are on the oily side. Octopus is ok, definitely had better elsewhere. Ordered soft shell crabs special and it was nice. The lamb shank is decent but overall I think the price does not quite matched with the quality of food! read more

I would have given this restaurant 3 stars but I believe 'stars' ought to reflect many different elements of the experience. So, here's the breakdown. It's mostly better than average Mediterranean fare. There's the positive. Here's the negative--It's been a long time since I've dined in such an absolutely opportunistic establishment. Appetizer: octopus, $24. You MUST BE KIDDING!!! $29 pasta dishes...puhleeze, and you expect to be taken seriously? This joint is simply the big squeeze, charging north of 25-A prices. If money is no object, or, if you don't mind that they're laughing at you for paying so much for so little, enjoy. The food ain't bad. read more

Best Greek food in an beautiful setting and amazing service!

Visited Kyma for my father's birthday and we had a really great time. They set us up with a great table by the window. We were a party of 6 and they set us up at a table for 8, which was really nice, since the place was packed. Service was excellent. Everyone loved their dishes and the portions were very generous. No one went away hungry, that's for sure. Highlights for me: Kyma chips and sesame crusted feta read more
