    Salmon souvlaki - lunch portion
    Meredith R.

    Today was such a glorious day, I was sorry outdoor tables hadn't been set up. (It goes back to cold and rainy tomorrow.) Knowing what I like and what I don't at Yasouvlaki I ordered discriminately off the lunch menu. For $22 I chose a kefta gyro, which came with a lovely Greek salad. (Kefta is ground, spiced beef and/or lamb.) I rarely order soda but it was part of the special. Either that or coffee. My friend went with salmon souvlaki ($19) and was as pleased with her lunch as I was with mine. Our server frequently checked in without being annoying ... and really, everything was fine. Eyeing the plate of fried calamari on the neighboring table, it's something I'll likely want to try next time.

    The food was delicious and very fresh! Every time we go there to eat, we leave very happy and satisfied. It's one of my niece's favorite restaurant. We can't wait to go back next week. You won't regret it if you eat at this restaurant. The service is amazing and it has such a nice atmosphere and ambiance.

    The lunch special is the best deal! The Greek salad was honestly my favorite part of the meal. Delicious!

    You have to try the Lamb Burger. Flavorful and top tier. High recommend. Service was excellent We had a large order for all the employee at my job and everything was neatly packed and everyone order was what they ask for. Thank you to the amazing hard working staff and team for providing outstanding service.

    Went back because it was a beautiful evening and there was outdoor seating. The food was a lot better than last time. We enjoyed the mixed spreads- we had the eggplant, feta cheese and hummus. I had the pork souvlaki platter, which was very good. Our waitress was nice and checked in on us frequently. Yasouvlaki went from meh to solid.

    Came here with a friend a few weeks ago for dinner. Nice night out so I opted for outdoor dinning. We sat in their shed like building. There was a bench on one side with cushions and pillows and on other side had a chair. The bench was pretty uncomfortable even with the cushion and pillows. It was a bit narrow. What we had to eat, well there was alot of pita at the table. I feel like every dish we got which was nit much came with pita. We had to start the tzatziki dip and hummus and the Spanakopita was very tasty and full if spinach not much cheese. As our mains we both got the chicken skewers which comes with one skewer an order and they were pretty light on the sauce for this which made it sad looking too. As our sides I got the potatoes which were doused in the sauce and my friend got the french fries. For drinks my friend had a soda and I tried a beer but it was too light for me as they were out of the beer I originally wanted. In my oopiniok the chicken skewer was not worth it. I liked the dips the most and the Spanakopita the best. Our waitress was ok and nice. Felt like she rushed us a little bit while ordering but other than that she was fine and answered any questions we had about the menu. This is deff a neighborhood spot if you are ever on the Upper East side and want Greek food.

    It was our first time trying Greek dishes, and they were delicious. We really loved everything! The service was excellent and our server was very attentive. The ambiance was also great, much quieter compared to many NYC restaurants we've visited. A wonderful dining experience overall!

    Visited for a late lunch after touring the Met. Great lunch special with soup or salad plus skewer or pita sandwich, coffee or tea included. Sprang for a baklava for dessert -- so delicious. Everything was good and there was a nice Greek hospitality shown by everyone who visited our table. Would love to go back.

    It was my first time trying this place tonight, and it was AMAZING! My birthday is tomorrow (August 18th), so I came here with my grandma to get the celebration started. First of all, let me start by saying how adorable the decór is. There were candles on each table, white walls, and hints of blue. It felt like we were in Greece. The waitstaff were very attentive, and every time I was running low on water, they noticed right away, swooping in to give me a refill. Our waitress was very sweet and helpful. The food was really the star of the show. My grandma and I both enjoyed a glass of Anastasia Greek wine, which had the perfect flavor- not too dry, which I prefer. For the appetizer, we shared taramasalata, which has to be one of my favorite dips in the world besides hummus. Needless to say, it was delicious. The warm pita bread only added to the experience of sopping it up. We devoured every last morsel. Finally, for the main dish! I ordered the salmon souvlaki platter. It came with taboule, Greek fries, pita, tzatziki sauce and another unknown dip that I didn't end up using. There's something to be said about grilled salmon. The salmon was cooked to perfection, moist on the inside with the most heavenly crisp on the outside. You truly can't beat it. I ate all of the souvlaki, pita, and taboule, and got too full before I could finish the fries. I did try one or two of them though, and they were also great- can't go wrong with Greek fries! Right as we finished our meals, the waitress came over with a birthday dessert for me, complete with a candle. It was the Greek yogurt with sour cherry compote. It took me by surprise, but it was the perfect way to end an amazing meal. The Greek yogurt itself is unsweetened, but the cherry compote adds just the right amount of sweetness to it without being overpowering. Really solid dessert! All in all, I'm happy my grandma took me here tonight! While it's a bit on the pricier end, it's perfect for a special occasion. If you're looking for some kickass Greek in the Upper East Side, look no further!

    Everything was delicious! It was the first time my teenager had ever tried Greek food and he said it was the best chicken he's ever had in his life. He also loved the grape leaves and the baklava. The staff was very kind and attentive. We sat outside.
