    Platter and dip sampler.
    Katie W.

    The food is spectacular! The prices are even better. The portions are so big we can never finish our plates no matter how badly we want to bc it's so good. My husbands favorite place. We drive here from Staten Island at least once a month bc it's that good. We also like that this restaurant offers fast casual dining and the options for table service. Everyone is very nice here as well. My husband's favorite menu item is the dip sampler, and my favorite is how well seasoned the lettuce and tomatoes are.

    Came here for dinner with my husband and daughter. We ordered the dip sampler as an appetizer. For my meal I ordered the chicken gyro and my husband ordered the bacon wrapped souvlaki. We ate everything! We enjoyed the spicy feta dip the best. We weren't fans of the hummus. The appetizer only came with 4 small pieces of pita bread so we asked for more. It was an extra $1 for pita bread. I think they should give more pita with the dips so it's more proportionate. The service and ambiance were good.

    The souvlaki on a stick was the bomb. Better than the chicken gyros. Recommend the stick. The lemon was perfect as well the Greek spices and very authentic like you would get in Greece. Well worth the hike over from Manhattan.

    Hair in food

    Got the chicken gyro platter food was good till I almost choked on a hair going into my throat, long hair that was inside the rice and food went from good to disgusting and lost my appetite, wouldn't eat here again. Store manager I have a video of when I took it out of my mouth do you want to see? I can send it to you personally, it's not long like a women's hair but definitely not a short hair. The hair is also inside of the rice so it's most definitely from you guys.

    I've been wanting to visit King Souvlaki for a few months now and just never got around to it until this evening when I decided to walk over and make an order to take out. I kept the order simple, a gyro to go and I made no special requests of it since I wanted to see how they made it. I opted for the classic lamb as the meat as opposed to chicken or pork and had to say that they do load up the meat in this offering. The coat the pita bread with the tzaziki sauce and placed some tomatoes around this and then a handful of red onions. Once the meat was in place they added a handful of french fries to this which is something very new to me. The limitations and restrictions on dining in prevented me from even trying to sit down and eat this at the establishment but I will say that everyone was keeping distant, wearing masks and gloves and the place was spotless. It also smelled amazing from all the other dishes being cooked. I dug into the gyro once at home and can say that I really liked how they made it and would order again but the next time I will make the following changes. Since my stomach can't handle them much anymore I'd need a lot less onions so maybe they'll give me more tomatoes instead. I also didn't like the idea of the french fries made as a part of the sandwich. I generally like my fries off to the side. Lastly I think I prefer the sauce on top of the meat not soaking into the bread under it. Call me fussy I guess. Overall this was a good experience despite my not staying in the place. I'd come back and try something else for sure. Maybe I will try and actual souvlaki platter or a spanikopita. Those are always tasty dishes and I am sure that this place does them well.

    On this lunch delivery edition, I chose King Souvlaki to try, having only had Greek once. The portions were a generous amount, more than enough for lunch! My Chicken Souvlaki Platter ($18) came with chicken skewers, house salad, pita bread, and choice of 2 sides, which I chose Lemon Potatoes and Rice. The Lemon Potatoes I tried were not very good. They offer a strong citrus taste, but not over my rice too! The sauce dripped right into my poor rice, which left everything tasting very sour over at that area. Luckily, my Chicken Skewers were safe from the zest, and super delicious! There were mixed reviews saying they were dry, but not at all! I could totally eat more of these, given the juicy consistency. They went well with my Tirokafteri sauce. Overall, I enjoyed it, although I do think it depends on your food pick, as my brother's pork was dry. Best of all was the care they put into their utensils! I felt like I was eating something way more fancy the way they were wrapped.

    Got delivery, via Grubhub. Arrived hot, and on time. Great presentation.... The pork and chicken tasted great. I take stars off because I LOVE a lot of flavor in my food (and my partner is Greek); we felt it was a bit of an Americanized version of Greek food. The tzatziki tasted like sour cream with dill, the hummus tasted like mashed up carrots.... I'm keeping a 3 instead of a 2, because of presentation and timely arrival; also my sister in law said this is her favorite spot in bay ridge-- my partner and my pallet just don't agree.

    I really was hoping to satisfy my craving for good Greek food but I was disappointed. All the spreads we tried tasted store bought. The Greek salad had no Kalamata or Greek olives but Spanish olives and capers instead which was odd. The saganaki was burned so bad that we couldn't cut it with a knife. The best thing on the menu that we tried that night was the pork souvlaki.

    This was a hot night spot for years and now opens as another take on Greek Food in Bay Ridge. King Souvlaki has a food truck following in Astoria Queens and Midtown Manhattan. Overall the food trucks average about 4.5 stars, nice way to go. They have a great story as the owners had the American dream and started their first food truck in 1979. They just opened what I believe is their first store front location about a week ago. From the initial reaction the neighborhood they will be successful. They have good prices, plenty of help, everyone is nice, its very clean and the owners or bosses are on hand which makes a HUGE difference. They have a few restaurants that are direct competition to them. Blue Door across the street and Something Greek which is by 77 street and 3 ave. This was my first visit, they were packed as you can see by my photos, and they are doing a booming take out business as well. Currently they do not have delivery, although they plan on it. They also plan on serving wine and beer although currently it is BYOB which is great until they have their license. I gave them 5 stars for the overall experience, I give credit when a business is well thought out and the owners are proud and put attention to details. The only downside is that it can take about 20 minutes for your main course to come out and that is not for a lack of staffing. They are just very busy. I am sure that will improve over time. The food was very tasty and I tried the chicken breast platter. There is plenty of food. It comes with salad, pita bread, tzatziki, and a choice of lemon potatoes, fries or rice. Everything tasted great. They have an extensive menu although the show stopper was the King Plate. They advertise this as a mouthwatering mix of all four hand stacked gyros. Souvlaki sticks (3) homemade Bifteki and Greek Sausage. All piled over a bed of hand cut fries, toasted Pita Bread, Tzatziki Tirokafteri and king sauce. The small size which is enough for four in my opinion is $38.95 and the large is $59.80 that will serve an army. There are plenty of appetizers and starters to choose from. Cheeses, dips, grilled Portobello mushrooms and more. They offer all kinds of salads and they have Avgolemono soup which is Egg Lemon Chicken. They also have a soup of the day. They offer desert including Greek donuts, Greek yogurt and a desert of the day. I recommend you try them and welcome them to the neighborhood.

    This is my first time in Brooklyn, NY, and Athena was a perfect introduction, recommended by my…read morepartner's best friend who moved to the city recently. Athena is a quaint little place with friendly staff like Stavros (I hope that's how he spells it). For an appetizer, we ordered the dip trio with hummus (which was so creamy and delicious), spicy whipped feta, and tzatziki, which was honestly the star of the trio. Stavros was also kind enough to bring us more pita bread to finish our dips! I ordered the Lamb Souvlaki, and it was amazing. Juicy and sizable cuts of lamb dipped in more tzatziki on top of a bed of fluffy rice pilaf. It's a hefty plate so I only ate about half and took the rest back to my hotel. I hope I can eat the other half before I leave! I'm also hoping there's a place in Raleigh, where I live, that can match this experience. What's not pictured is the baklava dessert, which was quickly demolished by the three of us. It was originally meant for me only, but my partner and his best friend couldn't resist multiple bites. If you love Mediterranean food and you're in New York, add this place to your list. Well worth the trip. And also ask about the "Windex" shots (;

They stay true to classic Greek street food while offering a few creative options that help set them apart from other spots. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed lunch or dinner. One of the hidden gems is the outdoor patio in the back, which provides a great place to enjoy your meal when the weather is nice. It's a wonderful addition that gives the restaurant a neighborhood feel.
