Judy Cari: Get the grill fish of the day with the spinach rice. It's perfectly crispy with a lemon olive oil on the side.
Naz Colakoglu: Hidden Gem! Real yummy greek restaurant. By far the best in east side and could easily compete with Kyklades and Pylos. Things to order: octopus, spicy cheese, mousakka , salad #yum
Nick Andlinger: Unbelievable. Hands down the best Greek food outside of Astoria. Get the octopus, fish of the day, and moussaka. Baklava is out of this world

Nick Andlinger: Really like this spot. Octopus and lamb were fantastic. Surprisingly solid inexpensive wine.
Eater: This restaurant is now the foremost provider of classic Attic octopus in the East Village, served with grilled toasts saturated with olive oil. Read more.
Jaimee Estreller: Amazing spot if you're craving authentic Greek food. Get the grilled octopus, pan-fried sardines, and the lemon potatoes. Portions are on the bigger side too. Free dessert at the end is solid too :)

Jeff: Tried some great new Greek foods. The kavouri and loukaniko were AMAZING. Bartender was a lot of fun, all the food we had was amazing.
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.
