About Meet The Greek Restaurant

Set directly opposite Brighton Beach, this lively taverna channels spirited Greek island hospitality with generous spreads and live Mediterranean music.

  • Live Mediterranean Music: Evenings often feature live Greek musicians playing traditional tunes that set an upbeat, taverna-style tone across the dining room.
  • Feasting-Style Greek Plates: Portions are built for sharing, centered on slow-cooked lamb shoulder, charred octopus, and house dips with warm pita.
  • Generous Table Hospitality: Staff frequently surprise tables with thoughtful house touches, from birthday treats to complimentary shots of cinnamon liqueur.

    Generously portioned mixed grills and slow-roasted meats comfortably feed groups sharing at the table.
