Kat: Chicken souvlaki & pita basket: NOM! Kosta will show you a great time in the sounds of nostalgic Greek music. Try the Greek-American ouzo soda and treat yourself to Greek delicacies from the periptero
Kristin S.: So good and super cheap! Greek fries and souvlaki pitas - chicken or pork - highly recommended!
Meric Akkan: Great atmosphere, just like Athens. Perfect hummus and souvlaki! Be careful with tzatziki it has a ton of garlic.

Mike Karas: This place has the best Souvlaki, the tzatziki is excellent I have never seen a cleaner cart Standing on 51st and park avenue. amazing. The rice is off the hook.
Brett Kearon: Souvlaki over rice with feta and the works. The best $6 lunch in midtown Manhattan. Just be sure to get there early as the line gets crazy after 12.
Serious Eats: Greek food truck with solid souvlaki, friendly service, and homemade Greek specials like pork chops and baklava. Lines can grow long; go early or late to skip the lunch rush.

Georgia Evert: Chicken Souvlaki platter: more than enough food. Oh and it's amazing.
dean c: It was delicious. Good service. Extremely tender and juicy souvlaki chicken
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.

Christin Gabriel: Great takeout, super fast service!Chicken souvlaki pita sandwich is good, as are the fries.
Felisa Vazquez-Abad: I did not like this place at all. The souvlaki is minuscule, barely any filling. No lettuce. Fries INSIDE the pita???? The lamb was hard, not cooked well. Do not recommend at all.
Jon Spiegel: A very good Greek gyro sandwich stuffed with French fries. Great clean atmosphere with a friendly staff.

Emily Wilson: It’s Kiki’s, but fast casual. What’s not to like? Perfect roast chicken, fries with Dijon dipping sauce, salads, souvlaki sticks... it’s all good, it’s all cheap. There’s just no wine.
Andrew Cerda: The extension of Kiki’s across the street, come to this location for a great deal on souvlaki sticks!
Gerald van den Berg: Greek, fast, simple, but delicious. Kebab Pita and Half Chicken and Fries both good options

Bridget Gael: AMAZING Greek place! We loved the vodka passion fruit cocktail & appetizers (Chilean sea bass souvlaki, Greek salad & spreads were a hit). Will be back!
Christina Chin: Space and decor is huge and beautiful. Went for private party, raw bar was great, food was also delicious. Downstairs had a fountain center piece
Paige C: What a delectable menu! Their fish was perfectly cooked. The dips, the Avra chips, the rice - everything delicious. Wonderful and attentive service too.

Laura Vitaro: The chicken souvlaki can easily feed two. The tzatziki is rich and delicious. Leave room for the free dessert.
Michael G.: One of the best Greek spots in NYC but on the pricier side, especially if you order fish. Chicken souvlaki, Greek salad, and spreads are all so good.
Amber Nagle: Everything is amazing. Get a bottle of red and a bottle of white and go in on the pita/dips, mussels, spanakopita, grilled octopus and chicken kebab. Free dessert is PERFECTION.

HeyHayleyJane: Halloumi to start was yummy. Lamb kebab (souvlaki?) was really chewy, and tough to even cut up! Be prepared for onion breath 😷
Anya: Grilled octopus is a must! Everything we've ordered was delicious, except for spinach as a side dish.
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.

john laskow: This is not Carnegie deli. No pastrami here. This is an awesome food cart with great souvlaki in a pita
Philipp Rogmann: Best cart and maybe the best burger in Midtown. Try the Cheeseburger
Luis Avila: The combo patters are great, the shish kabobs remind me of the spot over on steinway and 31 in Astoria which makes sense since John is an Astoria native. Personal favorite : Chicken sandwich, drool
