I wanted to love it here but I just didn't think it was worth 5 stars. The food was good but the service was okay and the place was empty. It's cute inside and they have outdoor seating. I would like to try more of the menu next time read more

Krinti Mediterranean Grill - Octopus Salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Woodbury, New York

Came here to meet my friend for Lunch. I ordered the chicken lemon soup and chicken kabob platter. The soup was okay the chicken in the soup was on the dry side. The chicken kabob platter came with just rice and some peas it was delicious but for the price I was surprised that it didn't include a salad. The dessert was amazing the tea came in a cool pot and the brownie cake was very enjoyable! read more

It was Valentine's Day so you expect things to be hectic, but everything ran as smoothly as possible and the food was delicious. A couple of things that leave me hesitant to return. It is extremely noisy in there. The tables and people are way too close to each other so much so that it's uncomfortable. The waitstaff and customers bumped into me several times last night. Secondly, we had to order appetizers and the meal at the same time because "the kitchen wants it that way". So as we were working on our appetizers, the staff was clearing the appetizer plates because the food was ready. That's ridiculous. read more

Food is fantastic but the service was very slow. There were people who sat down a half an hour after us and left before us, and they also had the same waiter. Our waiter would walk by us constantly but never really checked in on us. We sat with empty plates for a long time before anyone came and cleared it for us, and we didn't feel prioritized. read more

Food was good, as well as the ambiance. Service needs improvement, some staff walking around like they are lost. Maybe they need to hire a hostess as well as we stood in the front of the restaurant for a few minutes without being greeted, for a 730 reservation.....that we ended up sitting at the bar since no tables were available. read more

I found myself yet again at a restaurant that l've passed a "gazillion" times and always told myself I must try it. Well, this year, it was suggested that we try Kirinti for casual dine out . Located steps away from Jericho turnpike inside Woodbury commons shopping center , you can't miss this , restaurant with its meditation decor vibe. Lovely decor and a vibrant atmosphere. I promise you, throughout your meal and between welcome authentic bites, you will find yourself marveling at the decor and beautiful staff. My party enjoyed a variety of dishes off the menu. I had the octopus appetizer and tasted a cold appetizer sample everything was simply divine. The appetizers were fresh and all of the sauces and spreads left us all wanting for me. I highly recommend Kirinti to friends, family, and anyone taking the time to read this review. I can't wait to return for drinks, craft desserts , and Kirinti's exceptional service with very reasonable pricing . Must try for fresh Mediterranean food lovers . read more

Nice atmosphere. Friendly service. It's a favorite of mine for lunch. The Greek salad is all fresh ingredients and the dressing is a perfect mixture. The grilled chicken is tender and seasoned just right. Worth a visit to this small local restaurant. Plenty of parking available. read more

I am going to try every place in Woodbury commons. So far this place is the best. Stared with the Krinti cocktail. That was delicious. Shared the greek salad. Good. The grilled calamari was outstanding. And lamb kabob. Very good. Prices were fair. Service was friendly. Place is nice. I would recommend read more

My brother was in from California, he had a long day and was hungry and wanted a place that had beans or rice or some type of Mediterranean food. As I live 10 minutes away, we thought it would be perfect to try as we've never been. The ambiance on a week night was nice and not too crowded, so it gave us time to chat and enjoy some appetizers. Service was very good and food was good. The Moussaka was excellent and so were the appetizers. Any Gyros you get will be good, just don't forget the yogurt sauce is on the table to add to it. Everything was good and would recommend as it was a nice setting to sit, chat and enjoy good food. We also like the lemon & lime slice frozen in the ice cube for the water glass, so if you don't want that, make sure you mention it. read more

I went here with a friend on a sunday afternoon . The vibe is bright , modern and casual . Our server was a bit abrupt and misunderstood a few things we said . We did ultimately get what we wanted. I had a greek salad with well done chicken gyro . The salad was fresh and had all the elements required ! The chicken gyro was crispy and delicious . perfectly spiced . My friend had the salad with shrimp and was very happy. The pita was definitely better than most i have had . It was fluffy warm and really tasty ! Nice spot for a friendly meal . read more

People rave about this place so I was expecting some of the best Mediterranean/ Greek food I've had, and I can't say it lived up to that! Don't get me wrong, it was pretty good, but nothing I feel the need to go back for. The cheapest bottle of red wine was $46- wow! The app sampler was pretty small. The tzatziki served to the table was really bland and runny. We had to ask for pita- not sure if that was unusual or typical there. I got the marouli salad with chicken gyro. The chicken gyro was sliced thinly and good, but the salad tasted kind of greasy- not sure if it was from the chicken, or a bit too much olive oil on the salad. My husband got a gyro platter, and the veggie it was served with which peas, which I we didn't think was that impressive of a side. He and our friend who also got a gyro platter finished the whole thing- portions aren't that big. Honestly, I think Pete the Greek has better food and bigger portions, and Greek restaurants in Astoria are definitely better! read more

As appetizers we got the sampler appetizer which I would recommend, you had a variety to choose from. ( I got baba ganoush, hummus, spicy tomatoes, and haydari) all which were very good. -fried calamari also very good - saganaki was very greasy, I would not recommend - Cigar Borkek this was also tasty For my entree I got the lamb chops (halal) extra well done and it was honestly perfect. It wasn't chewy like some places. And you had the option to choose rice or fries. read more

Krinti Mediterranean Grill - Lamb chops - Mediterranean Near Me - Woodbury, New York

Outstanding....OUTSTANDING food. Top quality Mediterranean food in an easy to get to spot. Awesome friendly waitstaff and bartenders make choosing food a breeze. The Mediterranean mule kicked off the night and hit just right. Fresh and strong, but not too strong and perfectly balanced. Went with the skirt steak which was cooked perfect and was super juice and packed full of flavor. Also got the calamari app which came with two delicious dips, one was a spicy marinara and the other was a dill yogurt both were super good. The shepherd salad was one of the freshest salads I've ever had. The hummus was perfectly balanced and had a great taste profile. The pita was amazinggggg too. Cooked perfectly and had a nice char. We also had the lamb kebab and the lamb gyro both were AMAZING. Finished everything off with a Turkish authentic coffee which was the perfect way to end the night. I can't wait to come back here! read more

What a great place to have great Mediterranean. The food was excellent. The service very kind. The only knock on the service is that they hawk over your table and want to take your plates away like 50x during dinner. "Let me be and I'll let you know when I'm done". Otherwise, excellent food. read more

If you're looking for INCREDIBLE Mediterranean food I found your spot! Krinti blew my mind I could stop smiling after each dish came out. We def shocked our waiter because we just kept ordering things It was just too good to stop eating. Plus it was a cheat day so it was allowed. Everything has such incredible flavor, and is super freshly made. It's really spacious and clean in here so no worries on that. If you're a veggie eater or meat they have something for everyone. The servings are really good I was thoroughly surprised. You're def gonna love the food here trust me. read more

My friend and I had a delicious lunch at Krinti. We ordered a bunch of apps and then a salad. The cigars and grape leaves were by far our favorite and I would definitely say they are a must have. Loved their pita bread too! I didn't love the soup, but my arugula and beet salad was delicious and my friend loved her Greek salad. We had a coffee to end our meal and even that was good too! We visited on a beautiful day and sat inside with the doors open, cute little spot! Our server was patient with us, as we had a slow moving lunch because we were catching up. Also random but the regular table water and Diet Coke and sprite sodas were so good here. Definitely will be back! read more

Greek salad with chicken gyro for lunch! Cindy was server/bartender. She was terrific and this salad is truly Mediterranean! Perfect. I'm not sure I can enjoy another Greek Salad after this one!

Krinti Mediterranean Grill - Shepherd Salad Raki - Mediterranean Near Me - Woodbury, New York

food and vibe both good but for some reason i can't say i was blown away. i didn't order the sampler but ended up the only one if 4 who liked any of it; my lamb was edible but surprised it's served in sauce over pita when it actually comes with pita-why is this dish not served on top of rice? chicken kabob on the table actually was juicy and very good. my falafel was not good at all-why no hot sauce or chick peas? seemed odd. the greek salads that none of us ordered actually looked delicious. maybe you just have to order smarter than we did, i'll definitely skip the falafel next time. menu is big enough to give it another try. read more

Krinti's is a popular Greek restaurant located in a shopping strip mall. It has a Tent for outside seating and a full bar. We started off our meal with a delicious Greek salad which could be shared with 2 people. We then had a surf and turf kebab dinner and a romanian steak dinner which was tasty. Our waiter was very pleasant and accommodating. The place was packed so make sure you call for reservations. read more

I had the worst experience in this restaurant last night, I asked for a Gyro on a pita and had my waiter berate me about how it is not possible and you can only get this at lunch and I must order a platter ($9 Vs $19) which I was willing to pay because this is a nice restaurant. Even after I said I was willing to take the platter and asked for them to just please make me a Gyro, they refused. The restaurant was EMPTY and the group I was with said that the waiter appeared scared and embarrassed. He offered to have the owner come over, who clearly heard the conversation, but, he never stopped by. That is a perfect way to end this review, Good Bye Krinti, I had 2 meals at your restaurant this week and you win, you don't need to serve me as a customer because we won't be back. Good luck. read more

We decided to give this Mediterranean place a try. The inside is very well decorated and clean. We ate early so the restaurant was quiet with just a few tables occupied. We were mostly interested in sampling the Turkish food. The host/owner was very helpful with the meal, very nice guy. The service was great. The meal started with pita and Tzatziki being brought to the table with a large pitcher of water and the coolest ice cubes with fruit and cucumber in them. We ordered the hummus and borek to start. The hummus was very fresh and tasty. The borek was delicious, we would order both again. For the main meal we shared a kabob feast which was a chicken kabob, lamb kabob and lamb gyro meat. It comes with rice and peas. We also had an order of kofte which also comes with rice and peas and one or two small grilled peppers. We had a side order of grilled vegetables. Both meals were very good, the kofte however was our favorite. The size of the meals are on the small side when you take the price into consideration. The kabob feast was larger in portion to the kofte but so was the price. While the food was excellent, I would think twice before going back because of the price. For 2 of us it was $105 without tip and no drinks. Kinda pricey. Additionally, there is a 4% credit card fee on top of the price which to me was a rip given the price of the food. read more

Had a great lunch at Krinti. There was plenty of parking as it's in a small shopping center. My friend and I were able to sit outside. We both had salads. Mine was straight the menu with added gyro meat. She made several changes which they were able to accommodate with no problem. We were both happy with our choices. Our only negative comments would be that the salads were a little smaller than we would have expected. We were both able to finish them with no problem and then had to eat several pieces of pita on order to walk away not looking for more. read more

I'm sorry to say my updated review is not as positive as my older one. I have just returned to Krinti when it was more busy (previous visit was on a Super Bowl Sunday pre-pandemic, and we were the only patrons). This time we had an uncomfortable experience with staff. First, when I clicked on the 18% tip button on the payment device, the server's body language and quick departure from the table indicated he was dissatisfied. On the way out, I stopped to compliment the speed and quality of the food, speaking to a bearded man dressed like an owner or manager and a woman next to him in a server's blouse. The man just stared at me and didn't say anything at all, which communicated to me that he didn't want to encourage me to return. The woman didn't even look at me. I can't speculate about why we were made to feel unwelcome, but I won't be going back. read more

We had the warmest welcome from the host, instantly made us feel very welcome. But it's all about the food, and it was OUTSTANDING. We tried the sampler appetizer and grilled octopus. Wonderful! Wife had the lamb shank and I had the stuffed sole. Again, they were cooked to perfection. Fresh and flavorful. Will def visit again. Our search for a good Mediterranean place is over. read more

Decor 10/10 Food 10/10 Service 7/10 The food is great and that is what will make me come back time and time again.

Didn't have too many positive interactions with our server. read more

Came here for dinner with the bridal party and groomsmen the night before my friends wedding. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share family style - hummus, baba ganoush, grilled calamari, grilled octopus, falafel, health salad, kebab feast, Mediterranean surf & turf kebab, branzino and sole. Everything was delicious! I personally liked the baba ganoush better than the hummus, the grilled octopus better than the calamari, and the branzino better than the sole. The kebabs were all delicious - the chicken was really juicy too. The rice that came with the kebabs was delicious and flavorful. I got the mule drink that they had. It had a splash of pomegranate juice and was tasty. For dessert we got baklava that was delicious too. Overall, great meal and our server was super attentive. The restaurant was packed on a Friday night. read more

Got Krinti tonight take out while my family is quarantining. Octopus was delicious and cooked perfectly. I do wish there was a little more. The lamb gyro was also great but wish the fries came a little crispier! Great restaurant just prices are a little steep read more

3.75 stars Came here on the first snow day of the season for takeout. Arrived, the only patron around likely due to the snow. Was greeted at the door with "how can I help you". Seems a little bizarre for a greeting instead of "welcome". I requested to order for takeout, with a simple response of "what would you like", surprised I was handed a menu and asked to sit at the bar. I ordered a lamb gyro, sat myself at the bar and 2 minutes (no exaggeration) my order was ready! Aside from the weird, unwelcoming interaction with the gentleman at the door and the speedy order preparation, I did enjoyed the succulent and flavorful order of lamb-note I didnt say gyro. The pita bread tasted stale and had a bizarre after taste, but that didn't didn't deter me too much from finishing my meal. Despite my 3.75 aka 4 star rating, I likely wouldn't return based on the customer service and the pita bread. Otherwise, the establishment itself looked beautiful and maybe other dishes on the menu are outstanding-I wouldnt know since I wasnt handed a menu. read more

Krinti Mediterranean Grill - Lamb gyro..succulent and generous portions of lamb. The pita bread left much to be desired. - Mediterranean Near Me - Woodbury, New York

Stopped in for an early Saturday night dinner and was had an altogether pleasant experience! I love Mediterranean food and Krinti does it well in a comfortable setting. Try the lentil soup - super interesting. Hummus is made well (I'm usually picky when it comes to hummus) which earns stars here by itself. Pita is on the thin side ala Turkish food, but is delicious. Kebabs (chicken, steak) and gyro lamb were great, and the accompanying rice was light and perfect with some tzatziki thrown in. Price was expected with drinks (~100 with tip for 2 with wine and several appetizers). read more

I've been eating a lot of Mediterranean lately. This was right in the middle. Much better than Mediterranean Kabob House in Westbury, but not as good as 1331 Mediterranean Grill in North Bellmore. I ordered a Greek salad with gyro meat. In my opinion, the base salad was missing several of the staple parts of Greek salad. There were no onions, Greek olives and grape leaves. The gyro meat was a little over cooked but it had decent flavor. Not the best - not the worst. The waiter tended to hover until he saw that we weren't drinking or ordering appetizers. Then we hardly saw him again. I did like the outdoor seating they had set up in the parking lot. And there was plenty of parking. Very easy for anyone handicapped. All in all, it was fine. read more

Sunday mid-afternoon, only one other table taken in this fairly large open restaurant. Big windows were opened up to let the air in, with both seating inside and outside. Settled on a table for two indoors and was immediately given menus. Between two people, shared the Sampler Platter ($18) and a Falafel Platter ($15). Sampler included grape leaves, hummus, haydari, and spicy eggplant. Each item had a different flavor profile - with my favorite being the combination of the haydari yogurt and the spicy eggplant. Falafel platter includes five flattened falafel patties served with a roasted pepper, roasted tomato, and a pilaf of rice and beans. Patties are more under-cooked than I'd like, yet the roasted veggies are solid. To go along with the dips, a large basket of pita bread and side sauces makes for a solid pairing. Service was quick and friendly; we were in and out within 35 minutes. A little pricey for Mediterranean food, but probably your best bet in the area. read more

Delicious food great service , went out with my husband for a date night , really enjoyed our meal.

Had dinner there recently, hadn't been in awhile. Food is still good but they're seating people on top of each other now. Uncomfortable and noisy. I understand that they've got to maximize revenue but they've just taken it too far, not a pleasant experience. read more

This place is so cute inside, the staff is super sweet and the food is delicious. My friend and I split a few items on the menu. The fried calamari was super fresh and one of the best I have had (garlic aioli it comes with is amazing). The salad with grilled chicken was so fresh and flavorful, it had fresh walnut, tomatoes and goat cheese yummmy! I highly recommend coming here for a delicious dinner with excellent customer service. read more
