    The Thick Chick - Chicken Sandwich
    Jina P.

    I got the Thick Chick and surprisingly really liked it. I must admit I thought I ordered a pita wrap but wasn't mad about receiving a chicken sandwich While I often crave chicken sandwiches, they don't always make me feel the best. This one, however, both tasted great and didn't feel super unhealthy. The chicken was quite crispy on the outside while still being juicy, and had great flavor. My only food-related complaint is it felt small. In terms of service, you order from the front and they bring the food out to you. There's a couple of tables inside but a much larger outdoor eating area in the back. I did feel the service was quite slow for how few customers there were, and disappointed that the one restroom was out of order.

    The place was not much to look at and was cramped inside. However, it does have a nice outside area that was relaxing. I ordered the falafel mahshea which is falafel stuffed with eggplant and harissa for myself. For my son I ordered the pita with steak shawarma, baba ghanoush, stuffed grape leaves, beet salad, white sauce and Tahini The food was 5/5 and was very tasty. I have never had falafel stuffed with harissa and eggplant. The crust was crunchy and the filling was soft and delicious. My son ate his pita sandwich. I tried some of it and loved it. You order the food at the counter and the food is brought to you. The only negative is was the service. One of the workers was complaining about closing the door when leaving the outside area. I had chairs, an umbrella, bag and my son in tote. The time spent complaining he could have closed the door since he was a foot away from it. I would visit again for the wonderful food!

    Imagine chipotle but Mediterranean with tons of different options for wraps, bowls and entrees. We ordered a bowl and a wrap each with the option of making the wrap a deluxe with fries. The food is available for eat-in and take out. We chose to eat in and were served the food. On a cold day, the indoor seating was nice but quiet. The two working up front were friendly and helpful with any questions we had. For a smaller place, bathrooms tend to be overlooked but the bathroom at Kimo was so nice and clean, an absolute plus.

    Got the lamb fat boy and the stacker, along with some iced teas: hibiscus and Moroccan mint. Everything was delicious and filling. Great service and portions. Backyard is nice, bring a small portable fan if it's hot. Cute decor, my best friend bought me a keychain from here the staff was very welcoming

    Great service and friendly family run business. Filling portions as well. Nice and open ambiance with comforting outdoor seating.

    We spent the day at Rockaway Beach and stopped by Kimo's for lunch. The restaurant was small, but they had cute outdoor seating in the back! We ordered a Pita and Bowl at the register and they brought the food out to us in the back. The wait for the food was a little long. Bowl: The Marinated Grilled Chicken was salty and a little dry. However, we really enjoyed the Baba Ganosh and Hummus. We did wish the bowl came with more toppings. Note: We both got awful stomach aches an hour or two after eating the food. At that point, Kimo's was the only thing we ate so we're not sure if the meal is what caused it.

    Kimo's is a 5 Star Gem & a Top spot for Falafel. Walking to my car in a public parking about a block away I decided on lunch before driving home from visiting a friend by the beach. After a short walk I stumbled upon this place about a block away beside an icecream shop that I frequent. I'm passing I noticed that Kimo's usually has a line and now I know why. Walking in the owner politely greeted me and I walked in and found the "Gyro of MY Dreams". No really. A Fat Boy. A Chicken Gyro with Homemade fries that came with 2 different options. I HAD to have it! I ordered it with lettuce and tomatoes and Oh My my my.... After placing my order I decided to walk around and checked out the back yard space which was beautiful. It had a plant wall and a mural of the dessert with camels. There was plenty of space to sit family style and it was clean. Coming back inside they have super fresh EVERYTHING. Dessert, toppings, foods that I have yet to experience and name, Baklava. Then I was awarded with the cinematic view of my gyro being constructed and got to chatting with the owner. Come to find out his two young daughters work with him (one at the register, and one manning the grill) a Family Business- how dope. He boasted the BEST #1 Falafel and after going home and taking down that gyro- I just can't see him being wrong. You ever bite into something and then pause... The sauce was homemade- I repeat The Sauce Was Homemade. I can't even explain they melange of flavors - It was literally AMAZING. There was a sauce on the chicken and then the white sauce chefs kiss! I have to just back to find out what was in it. I was like where has this place been all my life?!! I grew up in FarRockaway so to see and taste this authentic Mediterranean food makes my heart full. Healthy, Fresh, Tasty nothing beats Kimo's.

    We ordered the lamb shank which came with rice and salad. We also got a couple of desserts to try. The food is very good. Staff is very pleasant. There is little room to sit inside and it was too cold to go outside. So, we took the food to go.

    This afternoon, my mother and I dined at Greek Brothers for lunch and we had an amazing time…read more Everything was absolutely delicious. We started with a lunch option, consisting of the Spanakopita (flaky and generously filled with spinach and feta) and a Greek Salad (fresh with lightly dressed vegetables). We also shared a Pita Chicken Gyro, the chicken was well-seasoned, the pita bread was soft and freshly baked, and all of it combined made each bite enjoyable. We couldn't leave without trying dessert, so we ordered the Orange Cake. At first, the texture hit differently; if I can compare it to anything, it would be close to bread pudding - it was moist but not overly wet. After the first bite, we didn't want to stop eating it. The flavors were divine. Our server, Jocelyn was a tremendous help; she was personable, attentive, and thoughtful, considering our needs before we even asked. Delighted to have finally been able to visit this hidden gem. Pleasant environment with great music softly playing in the background. I highly recommend it, and we can't wait to return!

I went with my plus one, and from the moment we walked in, the experience was great. The place is very clean, not very big, but super comfortable with a nice traditional Greek vibe. We were greeted and seated by one of the owners (one of the brothers), which made it feel even more welcoming. Our waitress was friendly, professional, and checked on us several times, which I always appreciate without it feeling overdone. I ordered the gyro, and it was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared. But the real standout? Dessert. It was honestly out of this world. The owner mentioned it's his mother's recipe, "made with love," and you can truly taste that in every bite. I'm still thinking about it and would go back just for that alone. Great location, great staff, and an overall really enjoyable experience. Definitely a spot I'll be returning to!

These feel like the chicken tikka masala or general tso's of Greek food and I know there's a universe of dishes I've yet to try. But these dishes are delicious and I will keep ordering them. I visited at around 10pm on a Saturday night to find the place about half full, with fun decor and white lights that felt way too bright for the time of night. The lights made it feel like they were catering more to a family friendly crowd than for a nightlife crowd, which I suppose makes some sense for Park Slope. Despite the place sitting half empty, our server didn't show up to fill our glasses or ask for our orders for quite some time, and I saw the manager talking to the staff about something gone awry. Our food also took quite a bit to arrive. The saganaki and octopus and beans dishes were stand outs and executed with aplomb. The shrimp and swordfish skewers and spinach rice were quite plain and I would have gladly skipped these dishes had I known. I didn't have a good sense of portions and I wish the server would have guided us a bit more, as we definitely over ordered. While I won't be back, it was a perfectly serviceable meal for the area.

For the first course I had the patzaria, and they were some of the best beets I ever had, and the skordalia (garlic and almond spread) was the best compliment of flavors. The main was a showstopper. A beautiful whole branzino, perfectly filleted with lemon and capers was expertly cooked, refreshing and delicious! It came with a side of lemony potatoes but I also ordered the broccoli rabe with garlic and feta and was not disappointed. For dessert I had the cheesecake, which is absolutely made in house and creamy and rich. I forgot to take a picture I was so excited to enjoy it! If you're looking for authentic Greek flavors, a beautiful atmosphere and 5 star service, Philia is the place to go. Good job guys.
