replying to u/jaynyc1122: How long is the wait at Kiki’s typically? Also, what time would you recommend going?
“I avoided that place for a while because I didn't think they could be that cheap (they are - two people's tab, plenty of food, full carafe of wine, plus over 20% tip - less than $100) or better than Astoria (I'm *very* fond of Astoria's Greek restaurants...but it was) and I really didn't want to bother with any ridiculous NYC wait. But I would again.”

replying to u/TurbulentArea69: My husband is Greek and Kiki’s was one of his favorite places (after souvlaki GR) until covid and then it got wayyy worse. I wonder if they sold to new owners around then. Also, not paying taxes is as authentic Greek as it gets 😂
“Yeah after Covid it honestly was bad, imo. Bathrooms were filthy too, I was so grossed out bc after seeing it, it was obv the kitchen was dirty as well. I would never go back here.”

“Kiki's on the Lower East Side is truly amazing. The prices are insanely cheap (same goes for house wine). Pretty chill place, great food. I still think about the zucchini chips.”
