    For our dine-and-learn event, the organizers chose Limani NYC at the Rockefeller Center to be the venue. The entire place is pristine. Our function room was spacious. Since it was a prix fixe, the menu was already laid out on our table. The appetizers of calamari, Greek spreads, tomato salad, peppers, and kolokithi; paper-thin zucchini, eggplant & kefalotyri cheese, and lightly fried were served family style. It was sumptuous, flavorful, and enough for 8 people on the table. For the main entree, my eyes caught the 10 oz. Prime beef tenderloin. I had it medium well. It was served with asparagus and potatoes. The filet mignon was cooked to perfection. We then capped the night with a fruit platter, honey and yogurt, baklava, and Portokalopita; orange and vanilla cake, vanilla whipped ganache, honey, and lavender ice cream to share. It was a perfect set of desserts to conclude a lovely and educational night.

    Visited here on a Saturday night and the restaurant looks exactly like the photos on the website. Conveniently located at Rockefeller Center, we walked in and were immediately seated at the fountain centerpiece surrounded by gorgeous white decor. The restaurant only got nicer as it got darker outside. All wait staff were courteous & friendly making good recommendations and engaging conversation. Dinner was delicious. We started with the Feta Wrapped Phyllo. I first had this dish in Greece 2 years ago and I've been searching for its equal in the US ever since. Tasted many, but none came close. My wife & I were excited to finally find an authentic match! So flavorful. I would truly go back for this dish alone. Halibut was cooked to perfection, but I do wish the portion was larger. Salmon was also very good and portion was appropriate. The night finished with a surprise Portokalopita for dessert as it was our anniversary. A perfect & very tasty ending. Limani is suitable for large groups and I highly recommend for a date night. Add them to your list for a high end Mediterranean experience.

    Very welcoming. As soon as you enter restaurant you feel like your in the middle of Greece. Beautiful elegant decor. It was a group of 8. Staff was very accommodating and informative. We had the private room. Delicious well season food. I had the salmon with roasted peppers, potatoes, and grilled asparagus delightful. Everything was 10/10

    Went during restaurant week and it was delish. We went in a Friday at 5pm, so there was ample seating available. Always great views when you go. The octopus, lamb chomps, salad was all perfect. Very attentive waiters and quick service.

    Dined here for lunch and would recommend making a reservation as they get busy especially during the week. They have a prefix lunch menu which comes with an app, main and dessert which I selected. I got the octopus appetizer was perfectly cooked, the sea bass which was amazing and the honey yogurt dessert. Another app must is the zucchini and eggplant chips. The white yogurt sauce in the middle is to die for. The space inside is beautiful and the staff was very nice and attentive.

    09/15/2024 Attended a 70th birthday celebration. Decor: has a chic upscale flair. The white decorative motif gives you a very elegant feeling. Staff: very attentive and constantly ensure all was having an amazing time. Food: definitely enjoyed the food. Only hiccup they gave mixed prefix menu so the shrimp item we were all looking forward to did not happen. One standout item for me was the Kolokithl never expected fries zucchini to taste so delicious. Fruits fresh and delicious. Dessert was ok. All in all good time had by all!

    Large space located in Rockefeller plaza which is super convenient for work/post-work dinners. Decor is nice w a large fountain in the middle and white tables. The ambiance is a bit weird with interesting blue lighting that feels almost like a club? Came here for a weeknight dinner and we ordered the Greek Salad, Grilled Haloumi, Kolokithi (fried zucchini/eggplant with cheese and dip), and the Lamb Chops. All the appetizers were fine. My favorite bite was definitely the lamb- delicious and tender. I also got the Mediterranean Mule with fig-infused vodka- was really tasty and the fig garnish was delicious. Service is decent, a bit slow at times but friendly.

    The experience was dampened due to the incompetence of the blond hostess wearing glasses and her hair in a child like braid. We arrived 15 minutes prior to our reservation and she said we would have a 15 minute wait for our table, which is reasonable. Unfortunately, we waited 45 minutes and watched people walk in and get seated before us. When I followed up, her response was that we would be seated next. Shockingly, she didn't keep her word and kept seating other parties. Then, she put us at the worst table in the house, directly in front of the outdoor entrance where the December wind blew out our candle on our table multiple times. The waiter was great, and did his best to make it up to us. The food was good, no complaints there. But when the bill arrived, we were overcharged $44 for water. After another complaint, it was removed from our bill. The waiter gave us a complimentary dessert. I would think that such a place would have their act together, especially with all the competition of better restaurants in NYC. The overall experience was disappointing even though the food and waiter were good.

    Great Greek restaurant near Rockefeller Center. I was here for a pharmacy dinner. We started with a mezze platter. Then the calamari was one of the best I've ever had. We also got a Greek salad & fried zucchini. I ordered the branzino which was a good portion. We ended the night with a fruit platter and baklava. The ambiance was opulent. Would definitely come back.

    I visited this establishment for an educational conference. A neurologist presented on a nasal medication that helps control seizures in patients with Epilepsy. The content was very interesting and engaging. I learned a lot during the presentation. The waiters were very attentive and helpful. They served a variety of different types of food. I enjoyed the salad, dips, bread, peppers, zucchini and calamari. I enjoyed all of the Mediterranean food and they serve a generous amount of food. The restaurant is very beautiful and very clean. The environment and overall experience was very nice. I would definitely visit this restaurant again. Everything served tasted delicious and the customer service was exceptional.

From start to finish everything missed the mark: The hummus was bland and tasted like someone forgot the spices. The doma (dolmas) were disappointing and didn't have the rich flavor they should. Even the baklava, which should be a sweet highlight, was dry, lackluster, and honestly not enjoyable. The Turkish coffee was so bitter it was almost undrinkable -- if you like bitter coffee, maybe it's your thing, but it wasn't what I expected. They market themselves as Turkish and Middle Eastern cuisine, but what I ate didn't come close to what I'd consider good food in that category. My stomach was still growling afterward -- and not in a "I want more" way, but in a "why did I eat this?" way. The staff and service were fine and the atmosphere is pretty, but at the end of the day it's just not worth it when the food itself is so underwhelming. I definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for authentic or tasty Turkish/Middle Eastern food.

I got to try a variety of different items, inducing: ayran, chicken Adana sandwich on home bread, Turkish tea, and rice pudding. The ayran was probably the best I've ever had in my life. It was so refreshing, the perfect amount of salt, so good. And it's homemade. I would highly recommend you try this drink regardless of what you order, it's that good. The chicken Adana sandwich was also quite nice. The chicken was fresh and well seasoned in a good portion with some lettuce, onions, tomatoes as well. The bread was great. It's served with two wonderful, flavorful sauces: hot sauce and yogurt sauce (I much prefer the latter). Portion is incredible for the price. Then, I was initially interested in trying the fig pudding for dessert but they were out of it, so I went with the rice pudding. Again, a huge portion that is well worth the price. So creamy, so good. And, they brought out 2 Turkish teas for free to make up for not having the fig! The people are just very nice here, and the tea was also lovely, piping hot and just perfect. It's a pretty small restaurant but doesn't get crowded early on. They were playing some Turkish music while I ate, and I really enjoyed it. The people are very kind and attentive and the food is just incredible. Must try!

The falafel was perfectly crisp with a slightly smoky outer crust that added really great texture and flavor. A bit dry tho -- Needed the hummus and Mezze Platter to dress it up a little. Salad was refreshing, crispy and a great palette cleanser across the table. The combo platter + mixed rice was fabulous. Chicken was tender and came right off the bone (something I'm new to but it was good!). It came with a side of tzatziki and persian zhoug (?) - a minty and herby chutney that just added another layer to the aromatics of the dish. Although the rice was great, it was a really large portion even for the group of 5. It would've been nice to have the option to split to a half portion of vegetables or different grain to balance quantity. Overall 8.9/10 - Definitely worth a visit with a group for business dinner or catching up on a friend's night out. The service is great, everyone is super attentive and you can really feel that the food with made with love. So glad I tried this place and I'll be back to give their dolmeh and dessert a taste!
