Lokal Mediterranean Kitchen

We stopped in for lunch and to avoid the rain and what a treat. Cute place, friendly service, great wine pours, and a tasty lunch. The bread brought to the table was piping hot and topped with butter or olive oil. Perfect on a cold rainy day. Nice wine options and great pours for the price! The chicken shish wrap had lots of grilled chicken and the side salad was fresh and crisp. The lamb burger was big and messy in a good way. Topped with a nice amount of feta and served with hot seasoned home fries. I would definitely eat at this neighborhood gem again.

Vegan eats review: Stuffed grape leaves are huge! Hummus Lentil patties (sweet and filling) Warm toasty bread with just the right amount of olive oil and sesame seeds gives you a homey fall vibe. Super attentive staff. Not noisy. Great place for a quick eat with friends or family. Kid friendly selections.

Loved it loved it loved it ... Very nice atmosphere... More New Yorkers eating there than tourists, so says a lot ... The food was just great ..the bread is marvellous. Great food, great atmosphere, great service. It was so good I was so busy eating I did not take pictures ...as if I was in one of my regular restaurants where I don t take pictures. I was not a tourist ...I was just a regular client of that restaurant...priceless

Went here for a small birthday dinner and the food and desserts were absolutely delicious. The ajvar was so good with the bread! Any meats and seafood were perfectly cooked and tender. The desserts were also wonderful - the sweet pumpkin was a surprise hit! The only thing we didn’t like was the coffee. If you like post-dinner coffee, go for the Turkish tea!

Dining at this restaurant was a true revelation. The atmosphere was both sophisticated and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. The menu was a symphony of flavors, with each dish crafted to perfection. From the appetizers to the desserts, every bite was a delightful surprise. The staff's knowledge of the menu and their attentiveness added to the overall exceptional experience. This restaurant is a gem that stands out in the culinary landscape.

Just had a terrific meal here tonight. We (my daughter and I) shared the following: labneh dip, pickles and feta, and the lamb sautéed. The food was all prepared to perfection. The dip was cool yet tangy, creamy and with a bit of bite provided by the walnuts and the warm delicious bread. The pickles and feta included pickles, obviously but also pickled carrots, piquant peppers and cabbage. The feta was a lovely accompaniment and paired wonderfully with the pickled veggies. Our main, the lamb sauté, was very well prepared. Served with a yummy aromatic rice and cooked with peppers and tomatoes. The whole meal was simple yet extravagantly tasty. I knocked a star for the atmosphere due to the heat in the indoor dining area and the dim lighting. Seems like all of New York wants to serve food in the dark lately. And although it was only in the upper 70’s outside tonight it was quite hot inside, so much so that we left earlier than we would have otherwise. All that aside, I look forward to my next meal at this establishment. A new favorite for sure! Oh also failed to mention that the service was terrific!!!

I got a chicken noodle soup for an appetizer, crab cakes for an entree, and a gelato alongside mint tea for dessert. All of the food was good, but the crab cakes were particularly really good. In addition my waitress was incredibly friendly and attentive. Overall the atmosphere was very chill in the outdoor seating area
