Been here with friends for lunch or an early dinner in Hell's Kitchen. The restaurant is more than a diner and serves a fair amount of American cuisine along with Greek Classics in a very nice restaurant setting. Have had the lamb, pasta, and a burger, and some salads and all were delicious. One of my friends recently ordered a vegan eggplant dish and came back with meat in it twice- the restaurant was extremely apologetic and brought the correct dish at no charge. The service is very good and the ambience and food is excellent, especially for Mount Sinai West and John Jay staff, patients, students, and visitors! read more

I am sorry that the 700th review for this restaurant is a downer, but this is the way it has to be based on my experience. I ordered a couple of things here to get an idea of what I once ate back in May, when I took a trip to Greece. The stuffed dulma (grape leaves) are plentiful and tasty, but the meatballs lacked that little bit of extra. They could have been great, only settling for good. They need the tzatziki sauce in order to have any semblance of flavor. Then my meal went sideways. I ordered a Youvetsi, but about 20 minutes after ordering it, nothing. I summoned the wait staff (friendly people), to ask what had happened, but apparently it was never put in the system because "I never ordered it". I told them I wanted it and then they put it through. Roughly 5-10 minutes pass and I am given my entree. It is very disappointing. The lamb is flavorless and the sauce it comes on is flavorless too. The orzo pasta it is cooked on is overcooked to the point that with one bite I developed heartburn. It also has a lot of onions in it, perhaps adding to the agita. After one bite I stopped eating it and called for the check. Despite a promising start, my visit ended with a dud. Not exactly the way I want to remember it. read more

It was our second time ordering from this place and it was delicious. First time I ordered the chicken soulvaki platter and there was plenty of food. Flavor was spectacular. This time I went for the mousaka which was delicious and bold in flavor. The only complaint I have is that I wished it came with a side since the portion was small as an entree. However, I would get it again in the future. They were quick with their service and delivery. read more

The Greek Kitchen - Mousaka - Greek Near Me - New York, New York

Ordered delivery Here's what we got Side Salad costing $950 which included 1 thin slice of tomato 2 pieces of cucumber and several pieces of lettuce. Took 2 minutes to eat. Spanikopita cost $14, and unlike the menu picture was NOT a slice of a spinach pie. Resembled a chinese egg roll. Small and cylindrical. 3 bites. Moussaka cost 26 bucks. Again, a very small portion. Reasonably tasty which earns the single star. Bottom line: order twice as much as you think you need. Otherwise like me you'll be looking around for something else to eat read more

We had a play to attend at John Jay and this spot was conveniently located near it. We didn't have a reservation and it was quite packed. They were very accommodating for our party of 3. The food service was pretty fast and my chicken dish tasted good. I'd say a typical Greek restaurant. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable with my allergies. If you need somewhere to eat quickly I would recommend this place. read more

The Greek Kitchen - Chicken with Lemon Potatoes - Greek Near Me - New York, New York

OPA! What a cute little Greek spot in the city; right on the corner of 10th avenue and 58th street. I am a sucker for chicken souvlaki and tzatziki sauce. Their chicken was a good portion, juicy and well seasoned/flavorful. The tzatziki sauce was fresh and creamy. Their Greek fries were different but nonetheless delicious. The lemonade was very refreshing. The place was packed today! We came here for lunch and will definitely stop by again. Thank you for having us, see you soon! read more

I called and ordered Lentil Soup and a Bifteki Platter to take out. They said it would be ready in 15 minutes. The restaurant is across the street from Mt Sinai Hospital. My entire experience with The Greek Kitchen was wonderful. When I went to pick up the order at 5:30 there were already a number of tables full at the restaurant. It felt relaxed and friendly. There was a buzz of lively conversation but it was not loud. I picked up my order at the bar in the back. The food was flavorful and delicious. The Bifteki Platter had three patties. This is a wonderful restaurant and next time I hope to dine in. read more

The food and the ambiance was nice, maybe our 5th visit, but....then they let patrons bring their dog, explaining, later, that it was a service. Not true - that was NOT a service dog, jumping up on people's laps and begging for scraps from their table -- AND OURS - - nope. Why tell such an obvious lie? read more

Still good after 20 years. We tried the 4 dips, feta with sesame and figs, zucchini chips, Greek salad with shrimp. Yummy!! read more

This was truly some of the best Greek food I've ever had. The warm, homemade pita was perfection, and the lemon potatoes were done just right-bright, flavorful, and perfectly tender. On top of the incredible food, the service was outstanding-friendly, welcoming, and genuinely thoughtful. They even went the extra mile to help me charge my dying phone, finding a plug on the ceiling! That kind of hospitality is rare and so appreciated. Love it here-can't wait to come back! read more

Food: We ordered the feta sousami for an appetizer, and it comes with pita bread. My husband ordered lentil soup & the chicken souvlaki dinner, instead of rice he wanted grilled veggies but they didn't have any or wouldn't replace it. I ordered the same thing, I did want the rice, but thought the red sauce was odd on the rice but it was good and the portions are generous. We had leftovers but since we were visiting we couldn't take them back to hotel. I loved the food and my husband thought it was good. Drinks: I ordered the Cabernet, it was very light but ok. Service: Good Ambiance: Good, very clean, casual and nice. We would come back if we lived here. Price: $109 for two people read more

The service was excellent and the restaurant has a very pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food was a disappointment: the Horiatiki salad did not taste fresh, the moussaka was not fresh or tasty, and the chicken souvlaki and grilled chicken were quite ordinary. The tzatziki was good, but overall we expected much better from a Greek restaurant. read more

Went on a week night and this place was not full - service was so attentive and smiling. We had a salad, spanakopita and the vegetable moussaka and all of this food was delicious. The salad was generous but maybe the moussaka at a $25 price point was not so much. The place itself is cozy clean and I love the blue gingham table cloths I'd definitely go again - there is so much variety on the menu to try. read more

This place is located in SW corner of 10th Ave and 58th St. it is a pretty big place with seating inside and along the periphery outside. We did not need a reservation on Saturday night but couple of the big tables were reserved. The servers were very friendly and the service was efficient. The food was great. The hummus was probably the best I've had in a long time and I eat Greek food frequently. Saganaki was thicker than what I have seen in the past and well done. The chicken souvlaki and orzo was great. I also got a side of grilled chicken and that was 2 pieces (see photo)! Unbelievable. They gyro platter and sandwiches were great as well. The Beets with Skordalia and seared tuna was an unexpected item which was excellent (see photo). Servings were generous and one of the best meals we had. read more

Terrific food excellent service! I highly recommend the Greek kitchen! The best Greek salad in New York City!

The Greek Kitchen was busy throughout prime dining hours, and appears to be popular with the locals. The dining room is a bit tight. We both got the avgolemono to start. For dinner I got the baked chicken and lemon potatoes while my hubby got the chicken kebab. Both chickens were dry. So I am not sure I'd get that again. Other options that look good were the pastitsio and moussaka. read more

Anyone who goes to concerts near Lincoln Center it's always trying to find good restaurants within walking distance that don't break the bank. The Greek Kitchen not only checks both of these boxes, but the food is really good. Plus at 10th Ave and 58th Street, it's an easy walk. Service is prompt and attentive and if you tell them you're going to a concert, they'll make sure you have plenty of time to make it. They do the traditional Greek standbys well - spanakopita, zucchini chips, fried calamari, Saganaki (fried cheese). Portions are generous and freshly made. Last night, we had to wait for the zucchini chips to cook down to eat them. Entrees where they shine. Kritharaki,orzo with olives and fennel in a tomato sauce, is flavorful and a bit spicy. I've had two of the three bechamel baked dishes - moussaka and vegetarian moussaka, and the combination is exceptionally flavorful. The various grilled platters are also well executed - the gyro and souvlaki. Salads are fresh and well designed. I am particularly fond of their fish. The broiled bronzino, porgy and orata (bream) are exceptional, I just tend to order repeatedly. Never overdone, fresh and well seasoned. I like the salmon, but not quite as much with this simple broiling. Coffee is fresh. Good Greek coffee as you'd expect. read more

I love this restaurant. I took my daughter there yesterday and I wanted our dinner to be "perfect". It was! Everyone was so, so friendly and patient. I was seated at a nice table with the bench on one side which was perfect for my daughter who has a bad back. She was running late (and I was 10 minutes early for the reservation) and they were lovely about it. I sat at the table and they were so understanding. No rushing, constantly telling me it was ok. And the food - SO DELICIOUS!! We ordered the Greek Salad and Chicken Souvlaki. So incredibly tasty. Thank you for a lovely evening! I will definitely return!! read more

I've been to this restaurant a few times and it never disappoints. They have outside seating (though not sure in the winter), and the place is nice and clean. The prices are inexpensive for NY. The last time that I was here was on October 15 of 2023 I was served by Corina, who was absolutely great and very personable. In the past, I have had spanakopita as well as mousaka(sp?) The last time that I was here, I had the Greek salad with chicken. I also had the grilled calamari (Kalamarakia) with fish roe. This was really, really good and I cannot wait to return and have it again. Their dolmades (stuffed grape leaves) is also delicious. I never liked them until I had them here. My brother ordered the Gyro platter. The portion was very big as was my portion of food. So worth the price! On my next visit, I plan to change things up a bit. However, fish roe and dolmades will be ordered again. read more

On January 9th, we were a traveling school group from Los Angeles, and they printed the wrong show time on our itinerary. We were in a total rush for a party of 26, but the manager and wait staff was AMAZING! Recommended quick dishes to the students, meals were out so quickly, tasted great and the staff was so kind the entire time. Perfect example how to run a restaurant when there's added pressure. Thank you for a great meal Greek Kitchen! read more

Do you have a Greek palate? Welll.. it depends..take this Grecian test.... Do you salivate over spanakopita? Do you faint with joy when feta is tossed in your salad? Do you start dancing while eating Souvlaki? Do you tremble dipping pita into tzatziki sauce? What does Jalamata olives do to you? Do you dream about Santorini's? If you answered yes to all of the above , you have a taste for Greece. Opa! This is my second outing to Greek Kitchen. I must give some credit to my friend Rochelle who has challenged my palate with Mediterranean, Turkish, Greek and Persian cuisine. Last visit, we were caught up in the NYC Marathon and Rochelle suggested dining here. The last time I've dined in Greek food, literally, on my trip to Greece many opas ago. What was I going to try? I remember we shared an eggplant salad appetizer served with house made pita. Rochelle ordered Avgolemono soup; a Chicken broth with eggs, lemon and orzo. I ordered the Vegetarian Moussaka; layers of eggplant, potatoes, tomato sauce and spices topped with Bechemel sauce. Absolutely delicious. Today, we decided to try different dishes. It was nice to visit during Greek Easter. GK had a separate special menu offering lamb specials. Rochelle ordered the soup special which was in a broth with pieces of roasted lamb, it looked like cream of mushroom soup. Rochelle loved it. We also ordered hummus( (Revithosalata) prepared with chickpea spread with onions, garlic, olive oil and lemon served with their house made pita. Delicious! We then shared for our main meal, Makoranafa: pasta with shrimp, spinach with garlic in a white sauce. The shrimp and spinach were terrific and prepared to perfection. The platter is enough for two people to share and I took home the leftovers. The restaurant is very comfortable with a nice sail boat atop the bar, lacquered wooden tables and a very courteous staff. Like the Greek Islands, I plan to visit and taste just about everything on the menu Opa indeed! read more

Convenient location for a quick dinner before a show at Lincoln Center. We came on a Tuesday night around 6, and the place was all but entirely empty. The space gives old school Greek diner vibes, and service was quick and attentive. We had the taramosalata dip with pita, grilled calamari, and the mixed grilled meats plate. The grilled meats were pretty good, but the calamari was tough, and the taramosalata dip tasted overpoweringly of mayonnaise. All in all, I was disappointed by the food, and probably won't be back. read more

The Greek Kitchen - Taramosalata and pita - Greek Near Me - New York, New York

We stumbled upon this spot on a whim after realizing we hadn't eaten lunch while exploring Manhattan. It was conveniently on the way to our hotel, and Greek food always hits the spot when you're hungry, so it was an easy choice! The restaurant had a very traditional Greek vibe, which immediately reminded us of our trip to Greece--a good sign! It was a quiet Thursday afternoon with only a few other diners, so the atmosphere was calm and laid-back. The décor really brought back memories of our time in Greece, from the blue and white tones to the subtle Mediterranean touches throughout. The music they played were wonderful Greek music, and even their salt that's on the table were made in Greece! I ordered the gyro sandwich with fries, and my wife went for the chicken souvlaki with her own side of fries. At first, we thought we had over-ordered on the fries, but their portions were perfect for one person. The food itself was incredible and transported us back to the flavors we loved in Greece. We devoured everything and left fully satisfied, nothing fancy, just pure good Greek food. Our server was extremely accommodating and the service was impressively fast, likely helped by the fact that it was a slow day. Regardless, he was attentive and made sure our experience was top-notch. We got lucky because the next day, the place was packed for lunch. If you're looking for authentic Greek food and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend this place! read more

The moussaka was the worst. One tiny piece of eggplant. Soupy tastless ground meat. A watery 1/4 inch film of white unbrowned potatoe on top. Served with some dried up flat bread. Waiter didn't refill water untill the end of the meal. Atmosphere was hot and stuffy. read more

It's hard to find a good Greek place outside of Astoria. @the_greekkitchen offers super fresh Greek food...from their gyro to their fresh fish, it's absolutely delish!

Good neighborhood Greek spot. Authentic flavors and good sized menu. There was definitely something for everyone, even a cheeseburger on the menu. That was a surprise to me. Liked the grilled octopus a lot - had a good acidity to it with the vinegar type dressing and cubed tomatoes. A pinch of lemon and the dish was complete. Good to share as well but you don't have to if you plan on making it part of a light meal. My kids really enjoyed the "fries" - I use the term loosely as they looked more like potato crisps or chips. Excellent frying and browning - they were the perfect texture of crispy edges and yet soft enough to pass as a fry despite the round shape. Other notable eats: the Spanikopita, different since this version has sesame seeds on it. I also had the branzino, which was filet style and had a crispy skin. Perfectly cooked and tasted really fresh. And lastly the moussaka - great sauce, looked like a lasagna given the shape and size. Very robust and the eggplant was delicious. Service was prompt and attentive. Staff was friendly and refilled our water quickly every time. I dropped my fork during lunch and before I could ask for a replacement, the waiter ran over to me with a new one. I was here for lunch right at the open so it was quiet at first but after it hit noon, it started getting more and more busy. Reservations are not needed but helpful if you want to score a seat in the main dining room. For smaller groups, there's an option to sit in a covered extension of the dining room. And there's outdoor dining as well. Covered from what I could see but not sure if there were heat lamps. read more

Delicious food and reasonable prices.i love this place, typical Greek food, reasonably prices and lovely staff .

Ordered delivery from here tonight. I ordered the grilled salmon with a salad and the revithosalata (hummus). The revithosalata aka hummus was very good! It's flavorful and a thick consistency. Oily, so it doesn't stick to the pita but I spooned it on. I love that I can taste the garlic! Delicious. Very garlicky. I love it! And it's a perfect portion for $9. It came with two warm pitas. The pitas were soft and yummy too! Fresh. The grilled salmon was a good portion size and grilled perfect. Excellent flavor. Arrived hot. Skin on. So good! The salad it came with was also good! Very fresh and crisp. Love the feta and dressing and oregano seasoning with some olives and cucumber. I asked for no tomato and there was no tomato. Perfect!! And it was $28. So worth it!! I highly recommend both menu items. :) I will definitely reorder from here. read more

Chill vibes and classic Greek food- not amazing but still quite decent. I ordered the Mixed Grill platter ($25.50), which consisted of gyro (thin slices of lamb and beef), bifteki (ground beef patties), and pork souvlaki and came with a side salad and additional side (I got the greek fries), so this was a pretty good deal. The lamb and beef slices were really good- tender and flavorful yet not too oily or salty like at some other places. The bifteki was also tender and tasty. The pork pieces were a bit tough and slightly burned though. The side salad was surprisingly good with a sweet dressing and tasty feta cheese on top of the lettuce and onions. The greek fries are thin circular potato slices and were great. The place was kind of empty on a Friday night, with very casual/chill vibes inside. There are some Greek/Mediterranean vibes inside with the open layout and decor. The staff were fairly friendly/attentive, and the service speed was a bit slow but not bad. Overall, The Greek Kitchen is a decent option for Greek food in Hell's Kitchen. If you are in the area and craving some Greek food, then this could be a good option for you. read more

I was craving Mousaka and this was one of the places that offer that dish, so I came here for dinner with a friend. The interior decor is crisp, clean, as well as nautical, with blue and white color scheme, reminiscent of a picturesque town in Greece. My friend and I were served complimentary warm pita bread, which had a nice crispy fluffy consistency and lovely herb taste. For my appetizer, I had the fried calamari. There was a generous serving heaped onto the plate, with marinara sauce on the side. The calamari was perfectly crispy, light, and well seasoned with a wonderful blend of herbs and spices. I also got to try Greek salad, which consisted of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, olives, crumbled feta, dolmades (grapevine stuffed leaves filled with rice), as well as house dressing. This was a crunchy, fresh delight. All the ingredients worked well together, with the cheese adding an irresistible creaminess and the dressing had just the right amount of saltiness. Of course I ordered Mousaka for my entree, which was made with baked layers of eggplant, potato, ground beef, tomato sauce, topped with bechamel - slightly burnt and very melty, giving it an added level of yumminess. The beef was tender, juicy, while the veggies were cooked well. There was deep, bold flavor throughout the dish. I really wanted to try the Sokolatina, which is chocolate cake with almond praline and was so sad when I was told it wasn't available. My friend and I settled for the Kataifi (which I believe is no longer on the menu.) Kataifi is a baklava-like dessert, made with chopped nuts, scented with ground clove and cinnamon, wrapped into buttered, crisp dough, which is spun and made into strands, similar to vermicelli noodles, and served in lemony syrup. Absolutely delicious, this had a beautiful sweetness and crunch. Service was great! Our waiter was friendly and attentive. My friend and I both enjoyed our time here. I would love to return to try the Lamb Shank, one of the grilled fish, and that amazing sounding chocolate cake! read more
