Small, cozy, crowded, friendly - kind of - it's NY!Food is very good - octopodi let's gooooo!!!One issue: they will NOT serve you coffee in the evening - coffee (greek coffee, don't ask for espresso, for them it may be an insult) in evening and night is reserved to staff. We are going backwards!!!Endpoint: if you are @ midtown and looking for good food in the midst of the crap that populates that area, this is the best choice! But bring your espresso in a thermos!

I used to get Souvlaki for delivery at work and would always order the same thing - two of the the SGR Bifteki Kotopoulo Pita ($9.75 - ground chicken, tomato, red onions, fries & tzatziki-spicy feta). I always thought this was a fast to-go spot, but recently ordered pickup dinner from here and it's a cute little restaurant with cute Greek decor inside. The Tyrocroquettes (Cheese Saganaki - Kaisers, kefalograviera & feta cheese) were fried balls of cheese - nicely crispy on the outside and came with a Tzatziki dipping sauce. I also got the Bifteki Skewer ($6.75 - beef skewer, served with tzatziki and pita). Solid Greek restaurant in the midtown east area - will be back!

The first 2 dishes are in $30 Lunch Restaurant week deal. I think the portion is huge for the price, and the food tastes good. First dish is like a paste/rice kinda thing. It's well-cooked, not soggy at all. I did add more salt and lime juice for more flavor. The 2nd one is croquettes filled with 3 types of cheese. The souvlaki pita is standard.

Delicious food, the spicy Naxos cocktail was amazing (like a spicy margarita)and my dad seemed to enjoy the sangria. For food, we got the branzino, double beef burger stuffed with feta cheese and tomato I think, and the chicken souvlaki pita. The fries were super tasty as well. A reservation isn't a bad idea in the evening, as we came on a Monday at 6pm, and although it's a small-ish place and was initially quiet, when we left about an hour later, it was pretty busy. Staff is polite and came to take our order quickly. Seating isn't super comfortable but it's really pretty inside, a relaxing atmosphere.

We've eaten here at least 4x, probably more, and it's spot on every time. Tonight's horiatiki was amazing, probably because cukes and tomatoes are in prime season right now. Thwn we shared Gigante beans, in their glorious tomato dill sauce, served with feta and pita; and the spanakopita. That comes as 3 small triangles, but trust me, this isn't your Trader Joe's or Costco spanakopita! Each small triangular pastry is stuffed with a delicious spinach-dill mixture. Definitely recommend this location.

One of my favorite go to restaurants before heading to City Center. Quick, inexpensive, and delicious. The lamb wrap and the fries with cheese along with a martini are my favorites.

Fantastic food in a casual enviornment. Been ordering from them for years but finally had dinner at the restaurant. The fresh pita is amazing and they give you so much with everything. I got the pita wrap and soup, and they were just fantastic. Fair prices also.

I came here with my friends to try some Greek food. It's a basement cafe-style Greek restaurant. You may miss it if you ignore the sign by the stairs. We had a lovely, cute table by the window. The window faces the stairs, but it has the feel of a charming hidden gem. We had the salmon hummus or pate that we ate with pita bread. Then, one friend ordered veggie Moussakas. Another had an octopus, which looked delicious. I had seafood that was served with orzo. I enjoyed my meal, although I didn't expect to see seafood swimming in Orzo. It was tasty. I couldn't finish my meal so i took half to go. George took care of our table. Maybe he's part of the family. He made sure we received everything we ordered and that we enjoyed our meals. I don't mind returning to the restaurant, but there are so many restaurants to try in the city, so I have to pay attention to the area in case I pass by and want some Greek food again. Excellent!

What a nice place to eat a casual dinner. Fairly small restaurant. Very clean. Comfortable, simple seating. Small tables - if you are three people you may want two. Light, non-intrusive background music. Clean, pretty small, but totally fine restroom.Super-friendly and helpful wait staff. On the night we had dinner it was two people. One "in charge" who was primary on food suggestions and ensured our food was just as requested. One primary on moving fast to keep everything working well. They did overlap in their work. Great job with ensuring we had plenty of water. The food was super-good and very reminiscent of Greece, which we have been to multiple times. For sure one of the most enjoyable Greek restaurants we have ever been to in Manhattan. SGR excels at simple, casual, great food, excellent service. Note that we prefer simple and casual. That said, we do totally love dinner at Daniel which we find to be friendly and so accessible even though it is, in theory, formal. Go figure.Taramosalata - 11/10. Along with the Taramosalata at Eleni's on 3rd Ave., our two favorites in Manhattan. Pita bread - 11/10. We love this pita. And at Souvlaki Gr you get SO MUCH it is insane.Horiatiki - 10/10. Delicious. Totally fresh ingredients. No doubt everything was procured that day.. Generous size. Crumbled feta. We typically prefer brined block feta but this was great.Keftedes - 8/10. Tasted great but a little bit dry. We're used to getting these in plenty of tomato sauce. Served a bit differently here.Dolmadakia yalantzi - 11/10. Among the best Dolmadas ever. In a sauce. This was a special. If it's available when you are there, we'd certainly suggest it.Kalamakia Paketo - 10/10 - we asked for all 6 skewers to be chicken. They were great. Came with Tzatziki which was absolutely terrific. Chicken already cut into smallish pieces which we appreciated. Lots more on the menu that we want to try. We'll be back soon.
