I love this neighborhood and especially its food scene, but its lack of gyros has been a thorn in my side for years. Today, I suffer no more. Greek Kitchen looks ready to open at 912 Manhattan Avenue, with an awning that promises GYROS and SOUVLAKI.
Greek Kitchen will be a fast casual spot, offering Greek classics such as moussaka, pastichio, lemon potatoes, and salads.
“Greek Kitchen has 25 plus years experience in the restaurant industry,” the restaurant’s website reads. “We felt an authentic traditional Greek food establishment was missing from Greenpoint. So we bring a fast casual dining experience using fresh ingredients with homestyle recipes, [e]veryone is welcome.”
The restaurant will take over from the previous tenant, Bread Brothers Bagel Cafe, who closed down their Greenpoint and Williamsburg locations earlier this year but still operate a storefront in Bushwick.
Greek Kitchen will be open from Monday to Wednesday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Thursday to Saturday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The landlord who owns this building is opening this restaurant. She bragged to the neighborhood how she was going to “get rid of bread brothers” and open her own restaurant. Another greedy landlord. Avoid.
Actually she is not a greedy landlord, she is a greek woman who is proud to have an authentic restaurant from her culture in her neighborhood. Rude! I love Cynthia!
As someone that used to live in Astoria, this makes me happy.
Hi, I am one of the owners of Greek Kitchen . I happen to read the article, and I’m just replying to a comment that Olga made. We are leasing the store from the landlord, and the landlord has nothing to do with the business storefront as far as the previous tenants, we have no knowledge or anything to do with them, we are here to give the neighborhood an authentic Greek dining experience. You can find all of our information on our website greekkitchen.NYC and also on all of our social media pages. We are open as of March 4 and look forward to serving the community.
THIS IS A RESTAURANT THAT HAS BEEN NEEDED IN GREENPOINT FOR A LONG TIME. GREEK FOOD IS FANTASTIC AND SO DIFFERENT FROM ANYTHING IN THE AREA NOW. I LOOK FORWARD TO BRINGING MY FAMILY TO EAT THERE SOON.
