The Greek Family - Hollis

My wife and I visited New York, and I wanted her to experience some traditional flavors that I had been missing. We absolutely loved it! The warm welcome, friendly smiles, and vibrant Greek atmosphere made the experience truly exceptional. Thank you! And be sure to try Lula's cheesecake—it's a must (just save some room for it)!

This is my favorite Greek restaurant. The meals are hearty and the portions are generous. The staff is always friendly and attentive.

I always order two dishes: the salmon with lemon potatoes and broccoli, as well as the grilled chicken with the same sides. The food here is exceptional!

When I’m craving a healthy and very filling meal, GFK comes to mind. I always get their chicken souvlaki platter which comes with a soup or salad, choice of potatoes, pita, some steamed veggies (it’s different every time I go) and the souvlaki. For choice of potatoes I’ve tried their lemon potatoes which were delicious but their fries are just to die for. Super crispy and crunchy everything you’d want in fries. For sides, I’ve had their Spanakopita and goat cheese croquette. The croquettes were a bit pricey for over $10 and you only get 3 croquettes. They were good, but wouldn’t get it again for the price. The spanakopita on the other hand you get a giant slice that has a very big spinach to phyllo dough ratio. Service is very home y feel with very friendly waitresses. However, every time they make some sort of mistake giving us salad when we ordered soup, charging my card with a different table’s receipt, etc. If you have room for dessert, def get their cheesecake. It’s not like your typical American cheesecake that’s dense their cheesecake is light and airy, made with Greek yogurt, and has a raspberry sauce poured over it.

The prices are different on Google. I knew that restaurants overcharge by a little so i figured to call and pick it up in person. I ordered for 2 and it was extremely expensive, in store the prices were $5 more. So it ended up being almost $65. The food was okay, definitely not worth that price though. Falafels were dry and hard... extremely disappointing and super overpriced. We didn't even get anything fancy either
