I went to Kyma for a brunch party on a weekend. The valet parking situation threw me off a bit because I arrived early and the parking lot seemed spacious and empty, but I could see it get fuller and busier at times. There's also street and town parking available though it is a little bit of a trek as Kyma is separated from the Main Street establishments. I did hear that this is a dressier place with DJ and people dancing, but the volume of the music felt a tad loud. I had the Greek 75 which was lemony and surprisingly very herbal. The cocktails here are not in-your-face strong, which is not bad for brunch as I didn't want to be totally wasted during the daytime. We had a whole spread of shared appetizers for the table. The famous Kyma chips were okay, but I honestly enjoyed the spreads and the grilled octopus better. The highlight of the brunch was a bongo player coming out periodically during the brunch, encouraging the crowd to get up and enjoy the music. There's that fun party vibe throughout the meal with sparklers being handed out and napkins being thrown up in the air. But this makes the dining room area an absolute chaos with waitstaff and other patrons bumping into each other. I wish they would clear an area of the hall for people to dance and enjoy themselves without being on top of other diners who are trying to enjoy a meal and a conversation. For my entree, I had the Lavraki "brozini" white sea bass that was filet opened and grilled with copious herbs. I did enjoy how flaky yet meaty the fish was, but the fish bones and insides were not removed meticulously and I had to keep picking out big and small bones. Not a big deal for me, but it's not something everyone wants to do when they're on a nice dinner out-- definitely not a date food. I tried a little bit of the shrimp linguine pasta and thought it was delicious. I have mixed feelings about Kyma because it is a good time if you are going for some drinking and dancing but the food and service was a little lacking compared to how expensive it is. It's a good time, but it is not a bargain. I would go if I was invited to a gathering there, but I would not go on my own.
Previously dined at their city location and had a great experience, so we decided to try this one since it's closer. Beautiful space and valet is a plus. Drinks are pricey but delicious and worth it. Calamari and octopus were excellent. Unfortunately, the Chilean sea bass special was disappointing. Very small portion, not cooked properly, and lacked flavor especially surprising for an upscale restaurant at that price point. The sides were great, but I came for the fish. Also surprised no one checked in to see how everything was. If I return, it would likely just be for drinks.
Delicious food! So rich in flavor and cooked to perfection. I came here on a Saturday night and had a reservation for 2 at 8:30pm and was not seated until 9:15pm. Beautiful decor inside, valet parking, decent size restaurant, attentive staff. It was very loud and the tables were extremely close together where the wait staff was reaching over our table to serve other tables, which is not ideal. I would suggest coming here on not such a busy night for a better experience because the food was absolutely amazing so don't miss out on this spot!!
This was my third visit to Kyma, and unfortunately, it will likely be my last. My previous experiences were great, but this time was a complete disappointment from start to finish. The appetizers are usually a strong point, and they started off well again -- we had the zucchini and eggplant chips, which are always delicious, especially with the garlicky sauce. I also tend to order the watermelon salad, but this time it really missed the mark. The watermelon wasn't ripe at all, which made it unappetizing. Honestly, if ripe fruit isn't available, it might be best to take that dish off the menu. The real problem was the entrée. I specifically ordered the Fagri, a fish I've had and enjoyed here before. What I received was not Fagri. It was bland, the skin was grey and thin, and it looked and tasted more like branzino. When I questioned it, the waiter insisted -- repeatedly -- that it was Fagri, which felt dismissive and insulting. If the fish wasn't available, I should have been told upfront. Instead, I was served something else, passed off as what I ordered, and expected not to notice. On top of that, it wasn't even properly prepared -- despite being filleted, it was full of long, thin bones and basically inedible. I've included a photo of the actual fish I was supposed to be served, but NOT. The service made the experience even worse. My second drink took far too long, and the waiter barely checked on us the entire night. I used to recommend Kyma, but after this visit, I cannot. Serving the wrong fish, denying it when questioned, and delivering poor service is unacceptable for a restaurant of this caliber.
Yum yum . Good service. Came here to celebrate my friends bday and we enjoyed everything. I enjoyed being told the specials but I knew what I wanted. The charred octopus amazing. I do not like octopus but this didn't make me think I was eating octopus. The wedges were very lemony. I loved the pits chips and hummus. My pornstar martini was delicious. Cheesecake amazing. The sunset was gorgeous. I would sit outside next time & they have valet.
Came here for Father's Day dinner. We had reservations for 6 at 5:30pm. Reservations were easy to make via OpenTable. They valet parking in the lot or you can park in the metered lot half a block down. We were seated at our reservation time. Ambiance was nice with a Mediterranean feel. Servers were attentive. The restaurant did get pretty loud and lively after 7. What was disappointing to me was when the server told us a list of things they were out for night and we had early reservations. I can't imagine what it was like for ppl who had reservations at 7 and on. They were out of the pink snapper, dorado, bronzini and watermelon salad. I usually order the dorado when going to a Greek restaurant so I was a bit disappointed. But I decided to order the red snapper and the waiter comes back and says that was sold out also and the only fish they have left is the 2lb red snapper. We went with it and shared with the table. The fish was cooked perfectly, very tender and moist. The appetizers were also amazing. We ordered the zucchini/ eggplant chips and the grilled octopus. My daughter who is a picky eater loved the zucchini chips and kept asking for more. We were stuffed from dinner and didn't order dessert. I would come back again to try more things and hopefully on our next visit, they wont be out of everything.
We love the ambiance. The space was open and calm and not busy. Our waiter was the nicest old man, clearly old though. We had one too too many cocktails and drinks all good but nothing especially stood out. We ordered tuna, octopus, a Greek fish the nice old waiter recommended, oysters raw, and the lemon chicken soup. Every single bite was delicious. If I had to pick a favorite it would be the soup, but I need to come back and not drink so much so I can order the rest of the menu
The Long Island outpost of the flatiron fave lives up to the name. Was as much as a scene complete w dj, great food and great people to see and be seen! Service was impeccable. Attentive, personal and not intrusive at all. The hummus and pita bread was great. Greek salad for 2 a must. Fresh and drizzled with evoo does the trick. The sesame fried feta was a great play on baked Brie. It is topped with a fig compote sorta kinda thingamajiggy. Ex-Cell-ent. Sweet savory and nutty: absolute decadence. Tuna tartare was great too. And we also tried the pink snapper grilled. The kymatini was a great play the classic martini. The walnut cake was great as well similar to a carrot cake In flavor and texture. Both too sweet but very flavorful. If you're in Roslyn and looking for a great spot on the wkd highly encourage you hit up Kyma for a fun and flavorful night.

I was actually really excited to try this place cause I've heard wonderful things from the locals! Apparently Thursday nights at Kyma are insane with live music. We unfortunately couldn't make it on Thursday but we came on Friday. It was still packed and a reservation is still necessary. I ordered a few different items. Here is my review: 1) grilled octopus: Delicious, I always rate a Greek restaurant based on how good the octopus is! Grilled to perfection. I loved the flavors 2) fried calamari: I typically don't love ordering fried calamari, but this dish was actually done quite well. The breading washing overwhelming and I can actually taste the squid! Good stuff. 3) moussaka: very overwhelming and super heavy. Not what I was expecting. It's like a greek lasagna 4) lamb chops: super fatty, and the portions were sooo small. No sides!!! Overall I wasn't terribly impressed with this place. There's definitely better greek restaurants in the area, but the ambiance of the restaurant is what really sells it. read more
Absolutely LOVE it here. Great food, awesome ambiance, and friendly staff. I recently came here for a birthday brunch and had so much fun! We had a group of about 20 people, and each person paid a set price for appetizers, an entree, dessert, and bottomless drinks. For the bottomless drinks, we were able to pick between mimosas, bellinis or sangria. The waiters also made sure we were always filled up, and we didn't even have to ask them once. They had a couple options to choose from for the entree, but I got the chicken kebab, which was delicious. They also have a DJ playing music throughout the brunch and everyone is up dancing. I've heard great things about the brunch here, but I'm glad I got to finally experience it! Couldn't recommend this place enough for your brunch, or if you just want to go somewhere for a nice dinner. read more

Kyma is a great spot! I came with the my mom and my brother. To start we shared the fried calamari, and my brother had the Pastitsio Spring Rolls which came with béchamel dip. For our entrees my mom loved her salad, and my brother raved about the Pasta Santorini, and I had the Avgolemono (still can't pronounce it lol) soup, it definitely hit the spot. The food overall for the price point was super delicious and was very flavorful. The place was clean, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area. The pricing wasn't too terrible for the food and would highly recommend giving it a try! read more

One of our favorite places for celebrations and a nice dinner out. Great for dinner with family and intimate dinners as well. The ambiance is great and of all the other Mediterranean styles restaurants on LI, this is my favorite. The food is amazing! The kyma chips is my go-to appetizer. Perfectly crispy without being overly oily and soggy. Always amazingly salted. The gigantes is definitely a must and pairs well with their complimentary pita (which also is drizzled with a herb and lemon infused olive oil - to die for). Their main courses are large and everything we had was great. The service is great but you definitely recommend having a reservation otherwise you'll be seated at the bar. read more

We celebrated our parents 60th Wedding Anniversary last night at Kyma in Roslyn and it was INCREDIBLE! Excellent Service! Delicious and lots of food! Amazing Wine! Magnificent ambiance with Floral table decor and private menu. The price fix menu and very attentive staff truly made our party of 18 such a success! Thank You Laura for making our evening so special and such a success. read more

Celebrated my birthday at Kyma and I couldn't ask for a better experience. Our server Adonis was top notch. The drinks were delicious especially the coconut pineapple margarita. The Kyma chips and octopus appetizers were outstanding. I treated myself to the langoustines, they were cooked perfectly. My husband had a Chilean sea bass special with mushroom risotto, his plate was wiped clean. My dessert which was a custard in phyllo dough was so good. We were all pretty full at the end of the meal, but so happy. Can't wait to go back. read more

This restaurant is beautifully decorated and upscale! Very nice for a social gathering, and the staff was very pleasant. The food was displayed beautifully. For appetizers, we ordered fried calamari, grilled octopus and watermelon salad. The watermelon salad was very refreshing and tasty! Lamb shank was fall off the bone and flavorful on a bed of orzo. Moussaka lacked some flavor in my opinion but still tasty. Overall great experience! read more

If you need a place for a celebration or simply just celebrate you with a Mediterranean touch , this is a place to be. We were glad to know they were opened during this forecasted thunderstorm Sunday. Rain was pouring when we walked in. We were welcome with a big smile from the staff. The place did not check proof of vaccination on the day of visit , is it because being located in Long Island? I loved how neat , clean, pretty inside. The wait staff is very nice. We were introduced to its menu, their specialty and the specials for the day. Our party settled for a vegan appetizer and the grilled calamari. For the entree, me and hubby got the grilled red snapper, daughter and boyfriend shared lamb chop and pasta with shrimp and the vegan boy got veggie pasta. We seemed to enjoyed our own respective meal. There is nothing that we did not like. We carried a happy face the whole time we were there. The fish is perfectly seasoned and partnered right with our sides choices. The Lamb chop is tasty and goes well with the lightly seasoned pasta as was told by my daughter. The specialty prepared vegan pasta is an epic , the taste lingers as per my son. Our white sangria has been prepared to our liking. Pricing is a bit in upper range but worth it. Beautiful dining experience. A place highly recommended. read more

Really good food . Service is really good. Place is so nice. I had si much fun this day. Good food and good people. read more
Wow what a treat this was! I always heard good things and was finally able to make it over there. The apps are phenomenal. The octopus is so perfect and tender my goodness. The eggplant and zucchini chips heavenly. And my favorite dish of the night the filet mignon skewers with brussel sprouts was OOTW. Mains I had the Moussaka which was absolutely delicious! My wife had the salmon again as this was her second time there she liked it so much she got it again. And the lemon potatoes were the best I have ever had in 40 years. Will definitely definitely be back. Service was good but could have been better IMHO. It was Saturday night it was busy so I get it. read more

I'm being very generous by giving Kyma 4 stars. The decor is very trendy and the wait staff was pretty good. However, I don't think all the hype is worth jt. Most of the customers had an attitude, as well as some of the staff. The food was OK and not really worth the price. My entree was a special, scallops. There were 4 of them, they were over salted and sat over a bed of broccoli and chickpeas... also all over salted, not to mention very inexpensive ingredients, so definitely not worth the price. On a positive note, we were seated fairly promptly and the appetizers we ordered, vegetable chips and a watermelon feta salad, were both very good. The pita and spread they give you was also good. They also have valet on-site parking. I'm wiling to try Kyma again. Maybe next time I'll pretend that everyone left their attitudes at the door. read more

Tucked away in the quaint village of Roslyn. The famous Kyma restaurant serving delicate dishes of the Mediterranean. Octopus or the Kyma chips or do as I do , both! They are crowd pleasers. The seafood options are endless. Embrace it. Must pay for quality here. read more

Planning on coming on a Friday night with a college friend I haven't seen in a few years. We have so much to catch up on so we don't want loud music / party vibes. Is Friday night a good day ? I know Thursdays and Sundays are known for their parties
Friday is a good night to go, but go earlier if you don't want a crazy crowd.
