The Greek Kitchen offers an incredible dining experience with delicious food and excellent service. I ordered the pork souvlaki, which was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection - a standout dish that felt well worth the price. We also tried the Spanakopita as an appetizer; while tasty, the $13 price tag felt high for the portion size. Overall, the entrees are reasonably priced, and I look forward to coming back for more! The feel inside is reminiscent of spots I've been to in Athens.

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!

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.

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

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!

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.
