What a treat! The menu was extensive and tempting. The atmosphere cozy and funky. The food was excellent! Each plate and platter more delightful than the next. Big portions, well-presented, lots of fresh herbs, vegetables, etc. The tsatsiki is better than at most places. The salmon was large and perfectly cooked. Chicken souvlaki perfect. Lamb burger - huge! and great seasoning. We'll be back soon and often!
This is definitely one of the gems on Upper West Side. The staff were delightful and food was exceptional.
My daughter and myself were planning on some Italian food. But she recommended trying this place. It was a great idea. When you walk in there are all the baked goods like a NJ diner. But the place is not a diner. Anyway we sat. Our waitress was super nice and prompt. We ordered humus to share. It was good. I got the gyro platter. It was delicious. She got a stuffed eggplant with meat and cheese. Very unique and very good. Place has a cool vibe. High ceiling. They also have Italian food on the menu. So kind of a hybrid situation. Prices were fair. Nice portions. I would recommend
I've walked by here, hundreds of times and there's always a line to get in. Not one for reservations during the week, I was very happy when I was able to get a table the other night. A local UWS Greek Restaurant, there's plenty of competition and Telios stands out. Good food, good service. It took a while to get our food but when it arrived it was worth the wait. Greek Salad- Lettuce, tomato, onions, green peppers, cucumbers, olives,and feta cheese Shrimp and Scallop Scampi - Sautéed shrimps and scallops in garlic & caper wine sauce, served over rice. As I was leaving I met the manager and actually thought she was the owner so when she corrected me, I was shocked because she was so on top of service and our experience. I always appreciate someone who takes that extra step. Excellent restaurant, great food, reasonably priced a very nice casual dinner.
