FoodtoEat: Great home-made tzatziki sauce! Order Uncle Gussy's online at foodtoeat.com
Mark DePalma: The chicken rice platter was very tasty. Smoky and tender pieces of chicken, grilled onions, tzatziki sauce, and hot sauce on rice and salad. Only thing negative is the rice is lacking a little...
Uncle Gussy's: Mom's Tzatziki Sauce, Pork Souvlaki, and our crispy Seasoned Fries! Simple #GreekFood over at 51st and Park!

honeywhatscooking.com: Authentic and delicious Greek food, but painfully slow service. Still worth it. 🇬🇷TIP: Roasted Potatoes, Spanakopita & Tzatziki Sauce are the best. Chicken Souvlaki was juicy.
CJ Slicklen: Gyro is very good and so are the Greek salads. Don't fill up on hummus before your entree arrives...
Mike Langlois: the greek fries!!!

Falafel Restaurant · West Village · 288 tips and reviews
Damian Bayona: Fresh, Mediterranean style vegetarian food. Get the classic green falafel with some extra tzatziki sauce on the side. Better than Mamoun's
Core Pilates NYC: Huge, tasty falafel made fresh to order. Bonus: they're also gluten-free & the menu is strictly vegetarian & mostly vegan. Traditional Middle Eastern fare with a gourmet twist. Try the saffron aioli.
Time Out New York: Try the green falafel. The crunchy exterior conceals a fluffy core, with a nutty, herbaceous flavor complemented by silky hummus and tahini sauce. It’s one of our #100best dishes and drinks of 2011. Read more.

Paige Anne: Must get the seafood orzo entree, lemon potatoes side & octopus appetizer! My favorite meal in the city to date!
Cappy Popp: Grilled octopus. JUST DO IT. All day, every day. And the dip plate. And shrimp saganaki. And lemon potatoes. Seriously, this place is utterly amazing. Just don't take my bar seat - pointing at you.
Chris Heuer: Local gem. Must try when on upper east side.

Erica Delaney: The kebabs are well seasoned and typically cooked to perfection. The spreads (all 4) are absolutely delicious. The halloumi with fig is a little sweet for my taste, but authentic.
Brian Strauss: It’s like a healthy Greek MacDonalds. The hummus is good!
Marc Schneeberger: Cheap, healthy and good. Its one of the ideal places in the upper east side for everyday eating! Good for large take out meals also!
Lauren: Best diner on the UES. Solid staples: eggs, home fries, wraps, etc. Great service & staff, too.
Ruben Brosbe: The York Ave is without a doubt the best item on a very solid menu
Anna Osgoodby: One of my favorite diners around the UES. The staff is great, the menu selection can't be beat and the food is delicious!

Brad Garoon: Brunch accompanied by a jazz set is soothing. Try the Venison burger, a gamey patty topped with sweet blackberry onion jam, farm cheese, and country ham. The challah bun is a great touch. Read more.

Zoë E.: Incredible food, great service and an adorable atmosphere. No need to order hummus - they bring you hummus and pita when you sit down. Say it's your birthday - you're in for a treat.
The Corcoran Group: Come and enjoy delicious Greek food, especially the Grilled Calamari, Shrimp & Octopus, and get a whole Bronzini. The clintele skews older.
Dan Berube: Great service and yummy seafood. Grilled calamari is the best I've had.
Eleonora Zorzi: Great beer, delicious appetizers, live music: this place is a must go to on a windy afternoon to feel cosy and have a great time.
Kathryn Yu: This restaurant has a false wooden tooth which purportedly once belonged to the Father of our Country.
The New York Daily News: PHOTO: In 1975 a bomb exploded in Fraunces Tavern. Four people were killed and more than 50 were injured. The FALN, a Puerto Rican nationalist group claimed responsibility. Photo at the link! Read more.
Josh Hickman: Burgers-daring and original, rotating beer selection-nothing to sneeze at and bartenders-friendliest you'll find in the city. Have one of the ever changing IPAs and the chicken sandwich with Brie!
Kristen Favorito: The pretzel....don't question it...just do it!
Lauren Ianuzi: if you're looking to avoid the sometimes crowed bar when stopping in for a bite to eat, ask to be seated in the back dining room. the mac and cheese pie is SO good, just prepare to have leftovers.
