Cheeseburger with fries

Wasn't asked what I wanted on my burger they just handed it to me and asked me to pay for a total of $11.21 it's good, very filling.

Chicken and Lamb Over Rice (L) w/ Hot Sauce $9
Mei Qin Z.

Parked right outside Hunter's West Building, the Roadside Grill offers a wide range of fulfilling meals and platters, at a really cheap price too. For $6 to $8, you can get a small or large platter of chicken or lamb over rice. They also offer other food items such as hamburgers, shish kabobs, fries and what not. My favorites are the chicken over rice and the chicken tenders with fries. Different from your typical halal carts, their chicken over rice consists of large cuts of grilled chicken over yellow rice, with some mixed salad and tomatoes on the side. Their white sauce does taste a bit more like ranch rather than tahini sauce, but still pretty delicious. The shaved cuts of lamb over rice is also really good too. You can also get a mix of chicken and lamb over rice, but they only offer a large platter of this and it's a dollar more than the usual large platters. So $9.

Always great food, always fresh, and the friendliest people. Haven't had a bad dish yet and I try something different every time.

Delicious phillycheese steak and chicken burger! Quick and affordable for college students! Staff are very friendly.

Lamb over rice
Linda W.

I cannot even begin to describe how badly I want a lamb over rice combo right now.. The food truck is located right outside of the hunter west building. For $7 you get a nice hot order of yellow long grain rice with shaved gyro lamb and a mixed salad with your choice of hot sauce, bbq sauce, or tahini (white sauce). The guys are so quick with everyone's orders not to mention always precise ! They're pretty friendly too and give generous portions of meat :) Drinks are all $2. Will definitely try some other orders here throughout my next four years in college

The grilled octopus, lamb chops, baked salmon and walnut cake - food was magnificent. This was the highlight of our trip here. What I cannot accept and ignore was the fact my request to have a surprise birthday dessert on my reservation was completely overlooked. I've made a verbatim note to include a surprise dessert because I'll have a birthday guest that stated exactly whom it's for. We were even greeted by the host who the birthday person was, and I've introduced him right before we were being seated. We even sat next to a table that got a surprise dish for a birthday celebration, so you can imagine my anticipation when mine would come. While we were dining, our servers did get switched out to a new person in between. The moment the check came out, I thought this was a mistake but the new server just placed it flat out in front of us. Once I privately made a payment to the new server, I did tell her the day was for a birthday celebration. She remarked she didn't know and informed me I should've said something. Granted I did state it on my reservation and for some strange reason the communication was missed between the staff or there was no consideration to follow through with my request at all. I don't know if there's an underlying reason why this happened or if it's because we didn't meet the criteria as customers to receive their full hospitality. This is coming from someone who's worked in hospitality in business services before and this oversight would not be taken lightly where I'm from. Overall the food saved the day, venue was gorgeous. But my hesitations now lie in this level of service I received and the amount of money spent with this outcome. Once is enough and I've seen enough to raise my skepticism of this place.

A wonderful little Greek restaurant with authentic flavors and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We…read moreordered the mussels, moussaka, and whole grilled tsipura (sea bream), and every dish was fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of traditional Mediterranean flavor. The mussels were tender and served in a delicious, flavorful broth. The moussaka was rich, creamy, and clearly homemade. The grilled tsipura was incredibly fresh, cooked perfectly, and simply seasoned to let the quality of the fish shine. The staff was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the overall experience felt genuine and relaxing. If you're looking for authentic Greek cuisine made with care, this place is definitely worth visiting. We'll definitely be back!

Busy for Monday evening. Felt like I stepped into Greece…read more I started with the complimentary bread, it was good. The crust was a little hard but I liked the fresh spread, I would recommend adding some olive oil, salt and pepper for more flavor. I got the traditional Greek salad. The salad was good. I love the tomatoes they tasted fresh. Though found myself wanting to add more salt and pepper for more flavor to pop. The dressing was good for dipping the bread in too. The octopus was delicious. Very fresh. Good portion. It was seared perfectly. I love how it was cut for me too, nice and tender. Not too chewy. The dill and capers were a nice touch. Seems the staff remember familiar faces, very friendly and all Greek. Altogether it was $64 which I find very pricey. The octopus was priced at $31 which wasn't bad. But the salad being $28 seems extreme. Overall a nice experience. Bit of a wait for the food

When downtown…read morefriends had to be uptown for something and asked us where we could meet them for lunch, I suggested this place and it was perfect! I prefer this location to the other Souvlaki GR restaurants , LES and Carnegie Hall area. First of all, the servers (owners?) are so nice. And for us vegetarian eaters, lots of choices in addition to plenty of meat and seafood.One friend had orzo with calamari, shrimp and octopus; he didn't leave a single bit! His wife had a good sized bowl of lentil soup, and an order of hummus that was served with lots of fresh pita triangles. My husband and I shared 3 dishes, one as yummy as the other: grilled halloumi, grilled vegetables platter, and gigante beans in a lovely tomato dill sauce. A plate of pita and crumbled feta was served for sharing, I think, or maybe for the orzo/seafood dish - but we all shared. For dessert, a slice of fantastic, freshly baked baklava was shared among us. Just a taste of sweet to perfectly cap off a good meal!
