One of them was a chicken salad and the chicken was really good and the dressing was also really nice prepared really well together and we also got a Greek salad which was just a classic standard salad. They also have avocado bruschetta which was also really good. The avocado was nice and ripe. We also got samsa and it was really good. The dough was nice and flaky and crispy and on the inside the meat was really nice and juicy. It was my favorite, but it was definitely still good. For the main, we got a huge mixed grill platter that came with a bunch of different meats like chicken, shish kebab and lamb kebab and it was so good. The meat was really nice and juicy and flavorful and it was cooked really well and all of this also came with a side of chips which were a great pairing and a little bit of a different twist compared to regular french fries. The kompot was great it was nice and sweet and flavorful. The service was nice the waiters were really attentive. The ambiance was just a classic Russian/uzbek restaurant. For birthdays they play a nice funny happy birthday song. Overall, it's a nice, heartwarming experience.

Waiter was rude and never apologized for the delay and the raw burnt over priced food. Then there was a loud argument because the delivery guy was waiting about 30 minutes after being told that it'll be ready in 5 minutes. No respect for someone's time and job. I hate when people are trying to do their jobs and someone sabotages them. Apparently it's not the 1st time. And hungry people at home are also getting bad service and long wait. Overall, it put stress on everyone. Ruined many people's evening. I regret not leaving earlier and gone somewhere else. I feel like they were giving good service and respect to their countrymen in the restaurant, but not to people of other nationalities and races. Do they deliberately sabotage food and timing because they don't want us to return?! Are they deliberately delaying the delivery orders to get delivery guy to lose his job? It' seems to be happening a lot from the Uzbek halal restaurants. Too much of a coincidence. Will not recommend them to anyone. I wonder if the owner cares about losses in revenues or he's a bigot. Very disappointing.

Ambiance was chill and booths were comfy. We had the whole branzino which was tender, juicy, and beautifully cooked. The waiter recommended the St. Joseph whole fish and it did not disappoint. Plump, umami-rich, and full of flavor. The mixed platter was a hit, though I skipped the lamb chops. The lamb shank was fall-off-the-bone tender and paired perfectly with the mashed potatoes. The Mediterranean salad was fresh and light, a nice balance to the heartier dishes. The drinks were great too. The espresso martini was smooth and well made, and I ordered the Turkish Syrah red wine. I loved it. The real star was the kenefe. Crispy on the outside, soft, sweet, and cheesy on the inside. So good. The baklava was also a nice finish. Honestly, everything we ordered was good. Definitely worth a visit if you're craving Mediterranean done right.

I've been coming to Yiasou Estiatorio for years, and it never disappoints. The food here is…read moreconsistently incredible fresh, flavorful, and deeply authentic. The meal always starts with warm, soft bread served with herbs and a generous pour of true Greek olive oil. It's the perfect way to begin, and the olive oil is so rich and high quality, it instantly transports you to the Mediterranean. The Greek salad is a staple for me bright, crisp, and refreshing. It's the ultimate summer dish with juicy tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and that perfect tang of feta. Every bite tastes like sunshine. The kalamarakia (fried calamari) is always fresh and never fishy light, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. The saganaki is another must: golden and crispy on the outside, with gooey, melted cheese inside, lightly drizzled with honey. It's a beautiful balance of salty and sweet, crunchy and soft. But my absolute favorite dish is the zucchini chips. I've never had better not even in Greece! They're unbelievably good: perfectly crispy, thin, and addictively seasoned. I could eat an entire plate on my own every time. They also come with the best tzatziki dip. For mains, I usually go with the seabass, which I believe is imported, and it's always incredibly fresh clean, delicate, and full of flavor. It's the kind of fish that makes you feel like you're dining on the coast of a Greek island. Yiasou Estiatorio is a place I'll keep coming back to for years to come. The food is consistent, the flavors are honest and vibrant, and it truly brings a little piece of Greece to the table every single time.

I ordered a mix of chicken adana and shish kebab platter with rice and Sheppard salad, hummus with Turkish bread, rice pudding, and tres leches. Everything together costed $55.25, a little pricey but the quantity was good. I had a cup of black tea while I waited for my food. It took about 10-15 minutes for my order to be fulfilled which was not bad. The food was good especially the desserts. They made a mistake with my salad order so I called them about it. They said they will give me store credit which I accepted. I appreciated that. The ambiance was nice. The restaurant was clean and air conditioned. The staff were friendly. I'm looking forward to trying other dishes next time we're in town.

My husband and I started with the octopus, soft shell crab, and a variety of their dips for appetizers, and each dish was absolutely delicious. For our entrées, we had the whole dorado and the lamb chops--both were chef's kiss! Our bartender, Tristan, was warm, attentive, and clearly a pro--the margaritas were spot-on perfect. The owner, Pete, also took the time to say hello, which made the experience feel even more personal. This spot is a true staple in the Bay Ridge area. Honestly, I could hang out here all the time.

Unassuming on the outside, we saw they had a lunch special for $14.95, which isn't bad for the amount of food you get. At the time, it was empty, so we ordered and got a seat right away. It's the kind of place where you place your order at the counter, sit, and afterwards, you're brought your check. The restaurant is owned by a very sweet man and woman, and definitely has a community feel to it- something I've noticed a lot in Bay Ridge. My mom and I both ordered the falafel lunch special, which comes with salad, rice, 3 super tender falafel balls, and a bit of hummus. They also give you bread for the table to dip your hummus in. The lunch special also comes with a drink included in the price, which makes the deal even better. My dad got the regular shawarma, and my brother, the chicken shawarma, and the portions they got were just as generous. The falafel was perfectly seasoned, and the rice was fluffy and extremely flavorful. They were even playing a Turkish news station. This is a really good place if you're looking for a more casual place to eat. I'll definitely be back!

On a long drive from the airport home, I decided to pop in and check out this beloved local Turkish spot known for dishing out, elaborate and amazing pide. I wasn't sure what to order so the cashier was friendly enough to recommend a few things, I went with the meat lovers. As I waited for my delightful oblong pizza to be baked, I was treated with the utmost Turkish hospitality and offered a cup of tea. I also picked up the baklava here, because it looked very promising. Honestly, the pide did not disappoint, it was chock full of vegetables and meat, and the cheese ratio was just absolutely perfect. Despite being such a huge baked item, it wasn't too heavy or doughy, which I appreciated and surprisingly because I was hungry I was able to demolish the whole thing in one sitting without feeling sick to my stomach. The baklava was also very good, heavy on the pistachio, which is just how I like it. Tea was served piping hot, and I enjoyed sipping on it as I veered out the window on a beautiful spring day. This is the spot to grab your slice of Turkish nostalgia. 10/10.
