TLDR: If you're looking for a quick meal, King Souvlaki has always scratched the itch. Souvlaki…read moresticks are good for a quick bite but usually we get a beef/lamb gyro platter or a pita sandwich - Greek fries if you have a friend to share. I've been going to King Souvlaki for many years. Nowadays you can also order on UberEats/DoorDash but for the best, just go in-person of course. The Greek Fries are great with olive oil and feta but it is a large portion. I believe you can now upgrade the platter fries so you can get to taste the flavor without it being over the top. Our go to order is the platter but you can never go wrong with a sandwich either. The rice is seasoned well and with the tzatziki sauce and small salad - it's always a good plate. They do also have chicken options but beef/lamb is the way to go in my opinion. The gyro is has great flavor but it's also not overly greasy like some places.

I ordered the pork souvlaki platter, and the portion size was pretty generous. The yellow rice was…read moreflavorful and well seasoned, and it came with a decent side salad that balanced out the meal. The pork was the highlight for me: tender, juicy, and cooked really well. My only complaint was the tzatziki sauce. It was much thicker than expected and had a stronger tartness, rather than the creamy, smooth texture I was hoping for. That was a little disappointing, but overall, it was still a solid meal.

Our go to are the chicken and lamb dishes over rice. Spice levels are to your liking - i generally go with medium level (2 squirts or so) and find it great balance of flavor and intensity. Their green sauce (mild) is yummy- pairs well with the lamb. The owner/proprietor is a really nice guy. Very affable and pleasant - and open to conversation. You can sense his pride in serving his food to customers. This cart offers a great generous meal at affordable pricing, given how much the city permits and ingredient costs have risen in the past few years. The days of a $6-7 platter with a drink are now $9-$11. Why folks would play twice that (for less food) at the Five Guys and Chipotle across the parking lot is beyond me. Highly recommend!

Cousins Maine Lobster recently rolled into Forest Commons in Staten Island, and I finally had the…read morechance to see if the Shark Tank hype was real. As someone who is permanently avoiding corporate coffee in favor of supporting small businesses, I was more than ready for a local food truck pilgrimage. The Culinary Reality Check: Maine vs. My Expectations. I went in with one goal: the Connecticut Roll. For anyone wondering, yes, I am the rare foodie who is actually allergic to mayo, making this the only safe harbor for me. The Lobster: Scrumptious, soft, and undeniably fresh. Even though it arrived "bone dry" (mine was definitely missing the signature butter drizzle), the quality of the meat was top-tier. The Bread: Perfectly soft and fresh. However, since it lacked that buttery goodness, I ended up skipping most of the bun to just savor the lobster. The Portion: Let's talk about that $30+ price tag. I opened my small box to find a bun that was... well, let's just say it wasn't exactly a cruise ship buffet portion. It's a respectable sandwich, but definitely more of a "special occasion" snack than a full-on meal. The Tater Tot Engineering Project: Now, while the lobster was the intended star, the tater tots absolutely stole the show. When I saw the large box, my brain immediately assumed it was for the roll. Nope. It was a literal mountain of tots. They were "Perfectly fried and crisp." Zero grease (a miracle for food truck fare). Plentiful enough that I "engineered" two additional meals out of them over the next 48 hours. Even on day three, these tots were still delicious and crispy. I basically had a three-day tater tot residency in my own kitchen. The Verdict: Insight for Fellow Foodies. If you're headed to the Cousins Maine Lobster truck, go for the taste and the freshness--it truly is some of the best-tasting lobster around. Just be aware that you are paying "NYC-on-wheels" prices for smaller portions. My Pro Tip: Don't let your expectations fail you like mine did. It's a food truck, not a seated restaurant. Enjoy the lobster for the delicacy it is, but prepare to have enough tater tots (if you buy these) to feed a small village (or just yourself for the next three days). Do you think the "butter-less" Connecticut roll was a one-time fluke, or should I explicitly ask for extra "liquid gold" next time? Let me know. :-)

I was told that the owner cooks everything by herself so in that regard you know it's prepared with lots of love. * Decor 3 out of 5 = Average interior appointments. You won't be wowed away with the interior design or the silverware. * Food 4 out of 5 = we had the following : - Bread drizzled with olive oil. Nothing fancy, I know it's complimentary, but I would have preferred they gave us the olive oil with some salt and pepper so we can season our own bread. - Calamari- Lightly breaded, not too greasy with a crunchy exterior and contrasting soft interior. The marinara sauce was ok. - Caprese salad - The freshness of the tomatoes paired with creamy mozzarella and aromatic basil created a harmonious blend of flavors. I was disappointed that there was no drizzle of balsamic glaze. - Penne ala vodka - Perfectly cooked al dente and the best part of the pasta, it came out piping hot! The penne perfectly absorbed the rich and velvety vodka-infused tomato cream sauce. - Pollo francese - The tender chicken cutlets were coated in a light, lemony egg batter. The lemon butter sauce was a perfect complement, providing a zesty and velvety finish to each bite with a wonderful balance of savory and citrusy notes - Cannoli cream cake - Delicious and moist and i was told by the server all the desserts are homemade. A nice way to end dinner with a slice of cake paired with a cup of cappuccino, perfect. ******Overall restaurant score 4 out of 5****** This corner restaurant is a hidden gem. It's small and exudes a sweet charm, making it an ideal spot for a cozy meal. The portion sizes are smaller when compared to other restaurants and there are areas that can be improved on, like presentation and plating. It's the little details that should never be overlooked. NOTE: No private parking lot. Plenty of street parking and outdoor patio opens up for dining when the weather warms up.
