Had a kuzina burger here and it's never disappointing . It's a great size burger not low grade chop meat and delicious. I'm definitely hooked on it. Try it you will have difficulty eating the entire burger. The service is always good. The atmosphere is nice as well. Enjoy. read more

This is our delivery spot for Greek. We have ordered a couple of times. I'd say 2/4 times our order was not exactly what we ordered, not bad just not what we ordered. This latest time we ordered gyro platter and got an inexplicable grilled chicken instead. I got what I wanted, the shrimp skewer with rice and the orders come with little side salads (which have suffered a bit of shrinkflation in the last few months). Good amount of shrimp to the order. Have tried the avgolemono, it was satisfying. Have tried the desserts, also good. We're going to try ordering a couple more times, we suppose they're just mobbed with orders so something gets lost in the crosshairs. read more

A review for take out. Food was prepared very quickly and remained warm for a long time. $13 Gyro platter comes with truffle fries (extra $1.50 upcharge), house horiatiki salad, and pitta + tzatziki. A side of tzatziki was depressingly forgotten. The salad was well seasoned to my taste, which does not happen often. The portion was huge. The pitta was warm and lovely. Wish they did not forget to put the tzatziki, so I could have tried it. Fries were okay, just regular fries sprinkled with cheese and for that you pay $1.50 extra. The meat itself was on the poorer quality. Very salty and the grayish color and dry, crumbly consistency were suspiciously concerning. I was starving, so I enjoyed the hearty dish. Quality-vise, that gyro leaves much room for improvement. read more

I really enjoyed this Greek spot. The gyros are really good and the vegan options are amazing. The prices are fair and definitely worth its price. I will be coming back here for more. I just wish the gyro platter supplied more pita bread, but that's not really an issue. I would highly recommend the gyro. The sides are also done well too. read more

Basically take out food when you think you're getting dining room service. No waitress and it was freezing inside. All served in "to go" aluminum containers with paper wrapping Food was just ok and not much on the menu. Nothing really Greek about it. read more

They send me the wrong item and expect me to pay again to fix their mistake. And then they tell me "well I charged you for the plain fries" but don't send an itemized receipt. So I actually don't know what I was charged for. 0/10 lost my business read more

The food here is absolutely amazing. The prices are so good!!! One person with dessert was only 12 dollars! This is the cheapest and best green restaurant in Staten Island for sure. The staff was very nice and the service is self serve. The overall restaurant is very clean and the overall vibe is really great. It's pretty casual as well so this is must try. read more

I am not Greek so I cannot comment on the authenticity of the food, but what I can tell you is that it's amazing. My go to spot for a gyro. They also have amazing homemade hummus served with warm chewy pita bread. Even the desserts in this place are top tier. Thank you for providing good food and service every time! read more

Very very good traditional Greek food. I am blown away by the quality and presentation. This place can go toe to toe with my regular spots in Astoria. read more

Food was good but I ordered a souvlaki stick and galaktoboureko which was the smallest portion ever, where is the rest ??!! It looked very sad and who ever cut the galaktoboureko like that needs to let someone else cut it. There is no reason for small portions when you are paying a premium. read more

It's basically a takeout place with some tables but you go up and order and take it back to the table. We ordered saganaki (fried cheese) and the mixed grill platter. The platter came with 4 pita triangles and a teeny tiny salad. Portion size was ok; I didn't really like eating out of take out dishes with the cheapest plastic knife fork spoon in the wrapper with salt and pepper. Ambiance is fine for what it is and the place looks clean. The food was ok, nothing to write home about. I loved the saganaki and I thought the loukanika was delicious. The sliced pork and lamb/beef gyro were both a bit dry to me. Prices were fair. The rest room was out order read more

If you like Greek food do not eat here. The gyro is paper thin and the food Is mediocre at best. The staff are rude and not friendly. I made the mistake to give this place a chance but never again. This is the experience I have had multiple times because to find Greek food in Staten island is hard. Do yourself a favor skip it or head of to Brooklyn or Astoria and eat the real thing. read more

Nope.... Not ordering from here again. The only thing I really enjoyed was the hummus and pita bread. That's all, the rest of my order NO GOOD. Hey & What gives with the (spanakopita) spinach pie ?? It had NO FLAVOR what's so ever. Disappointment, live and learn. ‍ Picture of receipt regarding my order and prices posted. read more

Kuzina - Bill/ money poorly spent in my opinion. - Mediterranean Near Me - Staten Island, New York

Order from here frequently. While the food is good, they are very inflexible. Also despite ordering over $18.00 worth of food, no bread or pitas! If you are placing a reasonable order, and order frequently you should get bread or pitas! I've discussed this multiple times, but they are sooo inflexible. read more

I loved this place. Absolutely affordable, tasty and a nice refreshing greek establishment. Especially in Staten Island it's somethign different around the area. I really loved!!! The Chicken pita gyro and it was very filling and it was only 9$!!!! Which was excellent. Me and my wife went 1 hour before closing they were very fast and nice. read more

Greek food is one of my favorites to eat and I was excited to try new Greek establishment. I walked in, I noticed a cute place and the staff noticed me, the phone won't stop ringing and I couldn't ask one of the girls questions. So I thought this place must be good. First time ordering Greek food from Kuzina and it was a take out. I ordered three big meals and one apps. * a big Horiatiki salad with chicken and beef on the stick. * Chicken Souvlaki Platter with a small Horiatiki salad to take place for French fries. * Bifteki Platter with Greek French fries. * Loukaniko as apps. I got the order and I took it home without checking. My jeep was smelling really good and I was hungry. I couldn't wait to go home to eat. They got two ordered mixed up and forgot the Horiatiki salad for one of the orders. So I had to give my salad to my mother to complete the meal. I only ate the meat. The salad that was suppose to be mine, I gave it to my mother and the salad were overly wilted with salad dressing. All the meats that we got were flavorful but over cooked. It was very disappointing. It is not worth my $60.00. I will check out the establishment that's the one on Arthur Kill Rd and see if they are any better. How Greek it is! Has my vote! If the owners are on this page, please reach out to me. read more

Oh Kuzina.... I love your food, it was soooooo delicious! I love your service! But... When I ordered a "party package" for 7 people, I was expecting a little more food. The portions were really, really skimpy and probably only enough for two people. I counted 10 roasted potato wedges. That means each person got 1.5 potato wedges. The total amount of rice was about 2 cups. Each person got about 1/2 cup of rice. The french fries were about 3 cups. We were all hungry after spending $200.00 on food. The salads were mostly lettuce. The meat sticks were sufficient. But guys, work on the portions of sides, it was really disappointing and slightly embarrassing. read more

Very nice cozy restaurant . Staff is friendly and the menu is very nice . My salad was delicious as were my lemon potatoes. My lamb chops on the other hand were not good . Over cooked lamb does not taste good and these were extremely well done . Waiter never asked how I wanted them cooked but I wasn't worried because I was sure they would cook them well. Not the case . Others were pretty happy with their dishes though . May try it again not sure . The white sangria though was delicious read more

Never ordering from there again. First time ordering from the restaurant and I have to say I'm very disappointed. I ordered several items and there was an issue with a salad and a platter. The salad was missing stuffed grape leaves, which clearly states on the menu it comes with it. Then, I was supposed to get a Greek pork gyro and I received grilled chicken. I called the restaurant right away and the girl came off very rude. first she tried to convince me the salad has grape leaves. I told there is not one grape leaf in my salad. Then she tries to convince me that my platter is not chicken when clearly it looks and tastes like chicken. Not once was there any apology for the missing grape leaves or for my platter, all she said, " well, what do you want me to do" in a very disrespectful manner. She didn't want to send out my grape leaves to make it right. So I asked to speak to the manager, and she stated she was the manager. No resolution was reached. read more

Not really sure why the reviews for this place are so low. I heard some people say delivery times could be problematic but I had no issues? In fact, the guy came half an hour early and food was definitely still warm and fresh. Then again, I placed my order at 5 pm on a Monday so maybe I just ordered at a good time. Regarding the food, it's pretty typical Greek fare. I ordered the gyro and had no complaints: good meat-to-pita ratio, right amount of sauce, decent size. Lemon potatoes were just alright, nothing special though. My favorite was definitely the stuffed grape leaves, which were fantastic (fragrant, very soft). Overall, I would order from this place again. read more

Do not order the calamari. It's undercooked, tasteless and our first reaction was where is the other half?! For $12 this is unacceptable. I should have ordered the calamari from the Italian restaurant next door. read more

After reading some of the reviews I thought I was out of my mind because I felt the same way that women in there is out of control! Constantly picking and degrading her staff! Always bragging about herself! how she is the cook, never seen her in the kitchen once all the times I was in there only to maybe pick up a order. Lol I have been coming here since they first opened. Their food is on the average side especially from me having a Greek background. There are more ingredients then just olive oil. Don't think I am going to spend any more of my money in there. She should start appreciating her customers and staff! I recently tried how Greek it is... and it taste just like my moms cooking. read more

Ive only ordered delivery from here so sit down might be better. Delivery took close to 2 hours with no prior warning of it taking so long By the time my food arrived it was cold and the bag was soaked in oil/ grease. Salad- it was drenched in salad dressing and seems to have been made ages ago as the lettuce was mushy. The cucumbers and olive had no bite and crunch they were all soggy. Grape leaves- absolutely delicious I definitely recommend Oktapodi- im sure it would've tasted better hot but cold gummy octopus was just not appetizing. The season was delicious but cold it was just not good. Chicken gyro platter- Chicken was seasoned deliciously and the lemon potatoes were phenomenal. read more

Meh. Decent enough food. The wait is long and the food is usually cold. Not sure what that's all about. It's basic Greek style food. It satisfies the need for my gyro fix on occasion. The quality fluctuates a good deal. You won't hate it. read more

Modern Greek. Must try choice. The chef is the key too this fresh take on beautiful ingredients. Their meats are so savory but they"ve got your vegetarian friends too! Would have posted a pic but we ate it all! read more

Some of the best Greek food. Platers are great, love the Tzatziki sauce! Everything's fresh

100 degrees out and no one wanted to cook so we decided to order from this place. Very upset we did ... low quality and not a thoughtful packaging situation. The Lima beans in tomato sauce arrived spilled in the bag....and upon trying to salvage them it turned out they were nothing more than out of the can crapolaaaa .... what balls on these people? Entire order was not flavorful, awful hummus... pita uncooked and soggy ... really a total waste of money. We got bit. But trust us ... we won't get bit again by these guys. Let's just save everyone the time, agony and of course the money and go out of business tomorrow ... thanks ; ) read more

Nice and comfortable Greek restaurant on Hylan Blvd. Came here for lunch, the services was fast and excellent, food was good. They have weekly special dinner every night. We try the Spanakopita, Gyro Sandwich, and Chicken Souvlaki. The Spanakopita had a crispy crust and well seasoned. The feta cheese was not overpowering. Gyro Sandwich is a little disappointed. The meat needs to be char a little bit more. The Chicken Souvlaki was cooked perfectly, it was juicy and not dry at all. read more

Good food the staff is always nice. I typically order the chicken or lamb gyro & it never disappoints. Tonight we ordered the hummus for the first time and it was amazing. This is my new go to for Greek food read more

The best Tzaziki I've tried. I've been to another Greek place on Hylan, near midland and on Plaka in Brooklyn and the Taverna kyclades in the east village, I also got Tzaziki in Costco as well. They're all either soupy, too salty or just not fresh. Kuzina nailed it because I know they use fresh ingredients and the yogurt was strained so it has that fluffy taste. I also love the salad, their tomatoes are crisp. read more

I cant believe it took me so long to find this place! My girlfriends and I love to try new restaurants, so we decided to give Kuzina a try since it had good reviews and we were not disappointed. The decor in this place is magnificent, the wooden tables and wooden sidings on the walls made me forget I was in Staten Island. The Edison Light bulbs are a perfect touch as well, overall a very comfortable setting. It isn't too big and seems to fill up for the evening, so a reservation is definitely a good idea. Now lets get on to the food. For appetizers, we had hummus, octopus, and my favorite, spanakopita. They were all absolutely amazing, we cleaned our plates. I had the lamb chops with lemon potatoes as per the waiters recommendation. I don't think I've ever eaten this much, I just couldn't put my fork down, it was that good. My friend had the Pasticio, a greek lasagna which was massive! The salads are also very clearly fresh and yummy. Had no room for desserts but they sounded great, so will be saving space for that next time. Service was also great, fast but not rushed. Waiter seemed to know every single detail on the menu which is always a good thing. Very attentive and friendly, and not to mention easy on the eyes too! Will be going back in the near future. Only thing that was a little troublesome was the parking, as there is no parking lot. However when you find a gem as good as this one, walking a block or two is worth it! read more

Just ordered delivery and writing as I eat. Let's see. The delivery itself came on time, within an hour after I placed my order, but it still got cold by the time it got here. Their tzatziki sauce was great despite the food being bad to mediocre. Opened the bag and got a nice scent, so I had great expectations. It just went downhill from there. In the order I opened them in: The greek style fries were soggy. I understand that is to be expected with fried foods and take out, but they can always rethink their packaging. There is a reason you don't put fried food in an aluminum container with a lid. All the heat from the fries are bound to make it soggy. Taste-wise, it's pretty plain. They have salt, pepper, and ketchup packets on the side, so You can use those if anything, but seriously, the fries were nothing special. I don't think I'll be finishing it. The price was cheap for a lot of fries, and did I mention it was a small? The bifteki souvlaki stick looked really depressing. It was literally just a meat patty with a wedge of lemon in the container. Maybe add a piece of lettuce underneath at least for decoration? Trust me, it will make it a happier piece of meat. Alone, it seriously tastes like a hamburger patty. Thank god it comes with the tzatziki sauce. If there is a god, he granted that poor soul of a patty tzatziki sauce. Good job chef for including the sauce, and that was probably the only thing you did right. The oktapodi was a complete disaster. It looked disappointing, it smelled disappointing, and most importantly, it tasted disappointing. Wow, I've never wrote so many disappointing's in a single sentence. Congratulations Kuzina! The dish itself is really just some burnt octopus tentacles laying on a puddle of oil. I was skeptical to taste it when it smelt burnt the second I opened the container. There is literally no taste besides burnt. It's so bland that I'm wondering if there was a point to adding spices to it. If you don't know how to cook octopus correctly, please don't bother putting it on your menu. Especially if it costs $14.75 for this pile of nonsense. I guess another dish going to the trash for me. Finally, the chicken gyro platter. That was probably the best one of the four dishes, but when something is the best out of bad food, it's not going to be any good either. The chicken was pretty bland. The salad was alright, but nothing great about it. I liked the cucumbers and lettuce! The rice was just sloppy, both in look and taste. I did add in some of that tzatziki sauce after tasting it with the bifteki, and it made it a lot better. Overall, a disappointment and waste of money. At least, they knew which dishes to include the sauce with. It really helps a lot. read more

Another one of my favorite Greek spots on the island! My bf and I decided to order the Greek style gyro platter, vegetarian spinach (Spanakopita) platter, dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), lemon potatoes and salad which I believe came with the entrees. I was a fan of my vegetarian options! The crust of the Spanakopita was perfectly golden brown and crunchy yet still retained all the delicious flavors! The grape leaves were by far my favorite, it had a zesty flavor to it as did the potatoes. Can't comment for the meat but the bf loved it. Also, they happen to have a Valentine's Day special deal- a 3 course meal with a drink so might be worth checking out with your special someone. Overall, delicious and affordable food on the Island, would definitely recommend! read more
