Souvlaki GR Midtown - New York

This was AMAZING!! I got the Souvlaki Pita with chicken and Spanakopita. I thought I could stretch it to 2 meals but no way. Too tasty to quit.

The Prasini salad with chicken was overdressed and puny. 4 small chuncks of chicken, about 1 each. It tasted good, but the value was pitiful.

A cheap sandwich if you're in a time crunch, but that's it. Total tourist trap. The 3 Spreads were inedible (literally, the spiced feta was essentially frozen and too hard to spread on pita, and the tzatziki was completely separated between yoghurt and all ingredients as if it had been sitting in its container for days). There's so much good Greek food in Manhattan. If you live in Midtown, don't fall victim to another below average tourist trap.

We're on our trip to NYC. It was a hot day and we came back from the Pride Parade. After rest, I was in favour of Greek dinner. Souvlaki GR looked delicious, so we decided to give him a shot. I ordered the Moussaka. Huge portion but very tasty. It is best if you order to share one for two people. My wife and I shared the Greek salad. My older one had the Calamari and the Oktopus with Orzo. Amazing, the octopus is tender and soft! My younger daughter has the chickpea salad and a spinach and rice plate. I had an ouzo shot that was good. The service was attentive, the ambience was alive. I'd come back here.

Finding a good place to eat in Midtown is always challenging. This fantastic restaurant really brings you to Greece! I absolutely loved the style and furnishings. The food was delicious and cheap. Definitely more a raised option was the quality better than expected! As always, make sure to book a reservation!
