Mind you I despise eating Greek as we travel into NYC 5 boroughs and have eaten at some incredible Greek establishments. The restaurant decor is clean and styled as if you are in Greece. Very light and pleasant. Service was excellent and I ordered the large Greek salad to split with wife, Gyro platter for myself and wife ordered Avgolemono soup. Salad came very fast, romaine lettuce, peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, feta and olives which were above average and pepperoncini peppers. Salad was a solid 9! In season tomatoes would've clearly brought up to a 10. Gyro platter was served with fries, rice or potatoes which I chose and simply delicious. Also came with a small bed of salad and tzatziki sauce. An unbelievable portion size and quality another solid 9. Serving size I would give an 11! Wife's soup was also delicious and between half a salad and cup of soup, she couldn't finish and had to take home. A wonderful dining experience and this will be on our lists of stops. A true gem and the staff made you feel welcome and wanted! Can't wait to go back!!

I had a cappuccino and we shared this delicious dessert of custard whipped on a phyllo base with pistachio on top. Perfect ending to our meal.

Every time you visit us you will see something beautiful that we have added to the interior of Yiannis taverna.

AWFUL!!! Food + Service!!!…read more Went for breakfast because we were excited to order the crepes. There was only one other family in the restaurant at the time. I ordered blueberry, my mom ordered strawberry. 20 minutes later I get my blueberry crepes (as pictured) and the waiter hands my mom a plate of a crepe with blueberry and banana -- He said the chef is out of strawberries and wondered if "that was okay" -- NO, NOT OKAY! Why the hell would you 1) Not tell her what the chef told you and ask if she would like anything else, 2) Assume she would be okay with whatever the hell you brought out to her?? She proceeded just to get the blueberry "crepe" -- 10 minutes she had her crepe. By the way, there's a BIG difference between actual crepe batter and pancake batter -- just because you thin it out doesn't mean it becomes a crepe. We tried a little bit of it. It was not good -- At all. We both refused to finish the food because it was just .. Bad. The waiter comes back - I think his name was Metro? Started with a "M" - and asks is we want a box, I said, "No we're finished." Our plates were clearly still full. He never asked or checked up on us while we were eating, never asked if everything was okay with the food, and he swiftly took our plates away and brought the check per our request. Soo many service errors and for the prices, you guys need to step up your requirements especially if you expect to charge people for a premium. The quality you expect is NOT the quality you guys are giving out. ZERO stars if that was possible.

Another place we've passed countless times and never went in, until today…read more We were a bit concerned when walking in and the place was empty at 4pm on a Saturday. But looking at the fixins bar (Chipotle-esque), everything appeared fresh and clean so we chalked it up to a lull in business and freezing weather. I opted for a gyro bowl, my wife got a bowl with falafel. The lady at the counter really didn't speak English well at all, it took a few tries to get our order in. Once it was in she did tell us to sit and she'd bring it to us. As we sat we looked around, the place is cool. Decorated nice with a few tables. Lots of evil eyes all over. The food came out, nice and hot, good sized servings. We were pleasantly surprised as our expectations were low. For our taste they went a bit too aggressive with the feta and red onions. Otherwise all good. Looking forward to returning.

We decided to give this place a try before going to Costco. When we got here, there were a couple…read moreof tables occupied but they left soon after and we were the only ones left. We came here about an hour prior to closing. We ordered the following: Trio of spreads, which came with Santorini hummus, spicy feta, tzatziki and 2 sliced pitas. Hubs thought that the 3 spreads were all similar and tasted the same. If anything, they should've made the texture all different. Overall, there was nothing outstanding about it. Beef and lamb platter, which was served with fries, pita, tzatziki, tomatoes, red onions and parsley. We thought this order was big and we couldn't believe that this was only for one person. The 3 of us couldn't finish it. Hubs thought that the salad was nice and clean and the fries were good while hot. We thought that the meat was a little dry. Thank goodness, there was plenty of tzatziki to dip the meat. Lemon potatoes- this was very salty and difficult to eat. Chicken and rice soup- we didn't like this. The soup was very salty. Hubs thought that the chicken was from the gyro or shawarma and that it was obviously added on to the soup base. He doesn't recommend this soup. Sriracha garlic parm wings- this was the best item of the night. The wings were nice and meaty, the exterior was nice and crunchy. The inside was nice and juicy and it was a nice order, overall. You have a choice of either 6 or 10 wings and we chose 6. Service was friendly and quick. They answer all our questions, but I doubt that we will be returning.
