Best WLM Reviews
The service was 5 star. The location and the look is 5 star. The signage around the restaurant gives you lots of table conversation and laughs reading it outloud. You do get a lot of food. Warm pita and hummus to start that's provided is good, salty but good. That's all I can say that is positive.
I've been meaning to go to this restaurant for quite some time and finally had the chance. The orzo appetizer which is complementary tasted like Spaghetti o's (if you know, you know)
We ordered the Greek meatball Appetizer and it was falling apart and extremely greasy. It didn't have parsley or mint like it's supposed to. The lemon soup was thick like pudding and only had rice. There was no chicken or vegetables in there.
My guest ordered a chicken platter... it was labeled as slouvaki but was more like chicken donner which was not even on the menu. It was OVER SALTED. the lemon potatoes were so dark I thought at first glance they were sweet potatoes. They were in a side cup and extremely oily. That I was actually shocked at the amount.
I ordered the chicken stuffed with some kind of cheese and spinach but omg it was covered with the previously mentioned soup as a sauce. I also had the potatoes.
Why we wrapped the food to go was actually a mystery bc neither was going to eat it at home. It basically was to not make the waitress feel bad bc she deserves better for her service.
I'm convinced that the place succeeded since 2019 bc people that are going there don't know any better. Compare to Greektown in Rockville Center or Gyro Palace in Merrick. Worth the ride.
Owners putting shame on their Yai-yai
Nov 2024 - Of Greek heritage here, so I know my way. And VERY local too. Hopefully the owners read this and use it to their and the community benefit. I usually review for good reason, but sadly not this time.
Worst Greek salad I've ever had. Seriously. It was shredded lettuce so fine that it had no taste and with the dressing added, it was like coleslaw. Yes, that bad. Even the misses was disappointed. And can you spare the feta? Were you cutting back to save for the next order?
No moussaka on the take out menu? Just "Yia Yia's Eggplant" with tomato sauce and three cheeses, which is basically eggplant parm. What Greek restaurant doesn't have moussaka? Even diners have moussaka, and not bad either.
AND.... 4% credit card fee, which they will say is a "cash discount", which calling it a cash discount is against the law here in New Yorkistan. They are making money on those that use a credit card as I can guarantee they are NOT paying a 4% fee to the credit card servicer. They are trying to squeeze "three" nickels out of a dime here, not only with the credit card fee.
I came here on a Wednesday night and sat on the patio, app and drink specials were very reasonably priced and all of the food was so delicious! I would highly recommend this restaurant for delicious authentic Greek food. We had hummus, gyro, gigantes, hot honey halloumi, dolmas, spinach pie and octopus, and every single dish was even better than the next
The atmosphere was very nice. And the service was excellent we had holly as our waitress and she was the absolute best. The food on the other hand not my favorite. I’m greek and this food wasn’t great. Very bland. Not fresh the soup was terrible. Also most of the food was room temperature when we got it. Not a fan I won’t be returning. Also insanely expensive for what it is.
I went here to eat last night and got lots of food. I love the ambience of the place and all the signs on the wall. The hummus was absolutely delicious along with the free dips they give with the meal with pita bread. The salad was lacking and if I eat here I again I likely would order a different side. However, the dressing itself was good. I ordered stuffed shrimp with both crab and spinach and feta. I love crab & while both were good I go with the spinach and feta only next time. The lemon potatoes were amazing and probably the best I’ve eaten in my life. The service was good, but the food took awhile to come out likely because they were packed. Overall the food was very good and I would come back in the future.
We love this place. Every time we come here the food is excellent. The chef is amazing. When we order take out, the staff behind the counter are so incredible. They double check our order to make sure we have everything and that what we ordered is the correct order. Every single time it is correct. They go above and beyond! It's so rare to find such great workers. I am beyond impressed. Will keep coming back here always. Thanks so much for your hard work and delicious food. =)
I went here for the first time with my dad yesterday. The food was delicious and the staff was so friendly. The restaurant is set up very nicely and everything was clean. I don’t live near this restaurant but I would go out of my way to go back there.
A hidden Gem in Commack. Great food and the best staff /Owners. Great for Appetizers, Seafood, and Gyro platters. Easy to see right off of Jericho Turnpike servicing Commack and the adjoining areas of Suffolk County. Plenty of parking and a wheelchair accessible entrance. Clean facilities. Public Restrooms. Reasonably priced. Desserts are a must. Excellent new location! Highly recommended!!!
