This is newish (for us) Greek restaurant in Rockaway Park. This is our first time coming here. We ordered inside and ate in the pretty patio area in the back. We ordered 2 chicken shawarma on pita with tomatoes, onions and spring mix with garlic sauce on one and white sauce on the other sandwich We also ordered a steak sharwarma on pita with tomatoes, onions and spring mix with white sauce with a side order of fries. The chicken pitas were very good and flavorful. I ordered the steak shawarma on pita and It was very good also. The owner and servers were very nice and helpful, they even allowed my son to bring in food from another restaurant. The owner said that all of the restaurants in that area were like family to each other........I really like and appreciate that familiarity in a group of restaurants. We will definitely be coming back here in the future. I highly recommend this cute restaurant with great food read more

Kimo's is hands down the best place in Rockaway to stop in for an amazing freshly prepared vegetarian meal after a surf session. Their falafel sandwich is absolute perfection, and their fries are very addicting. Kimo's is a local family owned and operated business where you will be made to feel at home and welcome. I actually became friendly with the family as they noticed that my first name was Kareem, and told me that "Kimo" is actually a nickname for the owner's son Kareem. If you find yourself in Rockaway, do yourself a favor and stop in at Kimo's read more

Love this place ! Food is delicious and always a pleasure to visit . In warmer months you can dine out back .

We love Kimo's Kitchen! It's the perfect place to get a post surf lunch :) The food is amazing!!

From the ambiance, the customer, down to the dishes... impeccable. Healthy, tasty and just everything my tastebuds were searching for.. the owner/chef was the sweetest there could be. I'm telling you.. the outside seating was a delight as well.. check them out on IG. You will NOT regret it. Love Regine read more

Food was delish! Staff was lovely! Backyard was sublime.... So a happy this option exists in Rockaway.

Kimo's food is excellent and their service outstanding. During the summer this is a family staple for lunches outdoors. We have enjoyed their Mediterranean food year round a full recommend the experience read more

If I could give this a zero stars I definitely would! Worst experience ever. This restaurant has the rudest employees ever and they started getting aggressive if you do not order quickly. I didn't even get a chance to look at the menu and they are so quick to say are you going to order or not. Not to mention the owner was not much help because rather than correcting his employees, the owner defends the rude comments and sees it as justified. Never again will I set foot here. DO NOT BUY!! Got food poisoning after eating here. Food was not cooked well and I'm certain the employees do not wash their hands NASTY RESTAURANT!! read more

Delicious food, tasty mix of Arabic and Greek food. Warm and friendly service and very nice outdoor sitting area in the backyard. We tried Chicken gyro bowl and Adana kebab bowl with Moroccan rice and delicious Moroccan mint lemonade! We took delicious Galaktouboureka dessert to enjoy it at home. read more

Just walked out of Kimo's very happy and very full. We had their Falafel in a pita bread and they were delicious. The first thing we noticed was that it's clear everything is made fresh in house. The falafel had a nice crunch on the outside and the inside was just a perfect consistency and so very flavorful! I highly recommend you check out Kimo's after a surf session or day at the beach and chill out in the backyard. Surrounded by their home grown veggies, spices and mint. read more

Overpriced food for rude and disgusting service does not go well together , while they treat there customers like they don't need us they rush you to order and make you feel out of place while trying to get some food I would not recommend. read more

owner JAVED won't take accountability for what he said to an elder disabled black woman. I believe your words were "well you dont have to buy it" after showing slight shock to your pricing. Next bc she was taking her time ordering (PROBABLY THINKING ABOUT WHAT SHE WANTED) your words were"are you going to order something or not". All in all horrible customer service from the owner himself. What's even worse is when called by a family member concerned of said woman, he was asked if it was him and he said "oh yea, it was me. I stand by what I said". Meaning he felt okay to disrespect not only a costumer but an elderly. Absolutely disgusting. And I'm curious that if it didnt happen why the owner is suddenly limiting comments on kimos social media page, blocking the womans family who wants nothing more but for him to take accountability of his actions and words said to another. All in all this is a great way to run your business to the ground. FIX YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE And you can tell by how the owner replies to all his bad reviews that he is straight unprofessional. read more

There's a lovely little outdoor space where we could sit down to enjoy our meals which was great. We had to wait for quite long for our meals to arrive, and it was a bit weird that other people who had arrived after us got their meal before us. The portion sizes are huge, and the food is good, but way too salty, and the quinoa had a weird aftertaste so I couldn't eat it. The prices are reasonable, and it's nice to have a Greek-style restaurant in the area after all. read more

The portions were very large and everything tasted great. The staff was really friendly and recommended the peach ginger lemonade. It was very refreshing! read more

Been here 12 yrs and Rockaway's never had that many great food options still, but this was a decent grab and go (or dine in). Although expensive for here. read more

Excellent, tasty fresh food. The marinated chicken is cooked to perfection (never dry), the humus- avocado mix dip is interesting and super tasty. Gracious host and careful considerate staff (wearing masks and gloves). Only recommendation: maybe having unsweetened ice tea available (if available and we missed - apologies) read more

This is a wonderful family owned restaurant. You can dine in the backyard while admiring the Egyptian artwork. I love that there arefresh herbs that you can see being grown. The dishes are tasty and filling, very cost friendly. The bathroom is beautiful as well as spotless. Such a nice little gem in the community. I will be returning soon! read more

Love this place!! Been dining with the owner Mike now for over a dozen years. Love his new Mediterranean Grill Kimos. His food is always so flavorful and the back yard atmosphere is awesome. read more

Kimo's - I just had the best falafel in nyc. stuffed with eggplant was slamming. really high quality ingredients and everything is really fresh. - Mediterranean Near Me - Rockaway Beach, New York

Great food, great service. We wandered into Rockaway looking for falafel and this place absolutely hit the spot.

My favorite beach spot by far in Rockaway! Super fresh & the kindest staff!! Definitely recommend this place if your in the area & they have such a nice dine in garden area. read more

8.17 for a falafel sandwich . This place is in queens not Times Square . Food wasn't even good . They won't last li Javed you can give me a hug next time I'm around. Maybe you should be improving your food rather then insulting past customers. This is yelp buddy learn from it and you will succeed in your business . read more

We been super exited about the new Greek spot in Rockaways since summer but never got to try the food till yesterday. The order came two hr later (we live two blocks away, literally) , the driver called us asking to come outside and get the food, the food was cold, soggy, missing ingredients we paid extra for. The French fries was hard so it was impossible to eat that. Who serves the gyro cold? The Greek salad was nothing but spring mix with carrots and feta. We tried to contact seamless and restaurant to either redeliver the order or give us refund but we were told no. The restaurant was cold and careless towards our horrible experience. . My husband spent the whole night with diarrhea and I had the worst heartburn in my life all night long. I wish the restaurant was more caring about its costumers and the costumer service because this is not how you treat people. Never again. Thank you for the feedback. What I write about businesses should be irrelevant to you and my order with you, it has nothing to do with my food being delivered cold, soggy and two hr late. Instead of going around and bush costumers for their honest reviews, I would suggest you to work on the costumer service you provide and the quality of the food you service. Good luck! read more

Great food; great service. Not a bad thing on the menu. Everything is fresh and delicious. I've already gone twice this week

The food was so delicious and the staff was so nice! They let us have dogs on the back porch which was great! Would definitely recommend coming to this great spot! read more

Always ultra fresh food! Amazing spices masterfully used in a way that never disappoint. Super clean and outstanding service. Beautiful back yard dining available read more

Jake and I have come here on a few occasions now and would rate it 5 stars every time. Today, after a morning surf session, we were craving something not too heavy but completely satisfying and Kimo's fit the bill. We ordered the chicken shawarma and the beef shawarma and sat on the back patio. The food was absolutely delicious; warm pita, well-seasoned, lots of flavor. The patio is shaded, has several beautifully made picnic tables, and is very clean. Apart from the awesome food, we are most impressed by the people that work there. The staff take great care of you and you can tell Chef Mike takes pride in his cuisine. If you're in the neighborhood this place is a must try! And try the Fatboy Pita, you won't be disappointed! Same goes for the falafel! read more

This by far is my favorite spot in the Rockaway area - recently moved here and took me a bit to find "the place." The koshary is perfect and if someone told me this would be my last meal on earth - I'd be ok with that! But heaven on earth is the fahfaina - fruity drink with whipped cream. Need I say more? Will order regularly. read more

How in heavens earth is this place still even open . I was ordered lunch from work along with several other co workers . This is trash the fries are fries they fried the day before and saved . I could even barely bit into it . On top of that they forgot all the salad dressings. TRASH don't even waste your money . read more

Came here with my sister after the beach starving. The food is delicious here. i got a pita with grilled marinated chicken with onion jalapeño hummus and tahini. the chicken marinated was very flavorful and the jalapeños add it an extra tang. we are definitely coming back . The drinks were really good too. I got the peach ginger refresher and it was amazing. If you're worried about being too close to other people right now, they have a nice big patio area in the back where there is plenty of space to sit and enjoy your meal. read more

HI !! Mr. Businessman Javed R. I'm glad I have your attention , I have an Instagram Account and I go around and eat different types of foods and I give my opinion of my experience at different restaurants, keep and eye on your business or you won't last to long , It's business doing well, customer service is what makes people come back and to run a business the proper way. My bill come out to $51.28 and that's not included 2 bottles of water and 2 orders of fries. Maybe I'm a cry baby but doesn't change the facts what happened at your business, The waitress never came to our table after they brought the food, My daughter ask her for napkins and forks, we don't work there so we don't know where they are , Mr Trendy at the register look confused, we ask for deluxe Gyros and 2 combination Gyros that simple . Learn to appreciate it customers and keep them happy. PLEASE change the way you run your business and please change your menu , Good luck and definitely in a few months I will be back and maybe you are doing better !!! read more

This place is amazing! As an Israeli I have very high standards when it comes to falafel however these exceeded my expectations. I had never had stuffed falafel before so I was intrigued and got the garlic eggplant stuffed ones. They were delicious!! And the lamb gyro wrap was just as good, so juicy and flavorful! We already can't wait to go back!! Oh and the owner is super friendly-came out, talked to us and even gave us free samples of a few delicious homemade lemonades! Plus the back outside area is a beautiful area to sit and eat. 100% will be back! read more

@Javed R I appreciate you responding to my recent negative review. I will say that as we were leaving, we overheard staff tell someone it would be a 30+ minute wait, so we must have got in right before it was realized the wait was so long. Thanks again for your response, if I'm back in Rockaway, I may give Kimo's another shot! read more

Had the Lab Shawarma Gyro and it was absolutely delicious. The staff and ownership here is great and the food is super. You can tell they take a great deal of pride in serving deliciously fresh food. I highly recommend this place and will surely be back. read more
