    Our party of 4 ordered food wise 8 things and everything was delicious and incredible. Me having picked the place was especially glad to hear my two non-foodie friends saying "I saved this restaurant and I never do that" "best brownie I've had" etc. They also had the ouzo which was smooth and nice. I had the Greek coffee which was good too. Food wise, my personal favorite were the Santorini salad (amazing flavor for the dressing), portobello gyro and Ikaria bowl. All were packed with variety of flavors. I do wish the Ikaria bowl could have more veggies though. The warm manouri cheese was popular among us and my husband's favorite. I loved the tahini brownie with strong halva flavor. Just wish they make dessert without refined sugar. Service was fast and super friendly. Environment was relaxed and cozy. I'm coming back for brunch in 2 weeks with friends so am looking forward to it!

    GRECA was a really lovely spot for a quick dinner. Me and my girlfriend hand plans in the neighborhood, and we stopped by to split an entree. The atmosphere in GRECA is gorgeous. Nice and spacious restaurant, with tons of comfy seating, and lots of plant decor (fake plants, but still looks great). The staff was friendly too. I’m definitely curious to stop by again for a larger meal, when we aren’t in a hurry.

    This restaurant really makes you feel like you are dining at home and with your family. The staff are exceptionally polite and attentive, if you are in the city or simply visiting be sure to stop by. If you're there more then once and a creature of habit like myself they will remember your order and exactly how you like it! The Santorini salad is my favourite and I highly recommend it. All of the dishes served are exceptionally fresh and made with quality ingredients. Yum!

    Amazing Restaurant, perfect neighborhood spot that knows how to make their regulars coming back daily. Not only do they have amazing Mediterranean food for lunch and dinner they have an amazing coffee bar with some of the best muffins I’ve ever tasted. They also deserve a hundred more stars for treating my dog like a king. We truly love it there.

    First dinner in NYC. Small but delicious menu, You can tell they do this to focus on providing amazing food! I highly recommend the Greek spreads (we inhaled it before thinking to take a photo!) The mixed grill for two was enough for 3, and you get a little of everything. Service was amazing, and they have small market to check out!

    Very nice place. Coffee was ok. And it was one of the best avocado toast I ever had. The decoration is very beautiful and original. You can bring your laptop and work here.

    What a superb little find. Just drive by and stopped to grab a coffee but ended up chilling in the lounge to some great authentic Greek vibes and Greek coffee and some appetizers. Great friendly staff and really cool atmosphere

    We had a great time celebrating a birthday at GRECA. The in-house bakery made their amazingly delicious orange olive oil cake into a birthday cake for my daughter. Amazing wand gluten-free! All the dishes were fresh and tasty. The Spreads appetizer had interesting spreads that were devoured. The lamb chops and chicken souvlaki were perfectly cooked. And the orange oil cake was perfection. The staff were absolutely lovely and very friendly.

    Wow 🤩 a must go for all you Greek food fan I could get this please 10 stars I give it 10 everything on the menu. Everything is just outstanding from the Fresh James just so creamy. The chicken dishes, the baklava everything is fresh and out of this world, creative drinks that are high-quality and thought out. The place just has a really special vibe it’s trendy but yet elegant and in a extremely cool location just minutes from will trade center. Bottom line a place is a breath of fresh air and would be lying. If I said this is it one of the best restaurants in New York?

    This is a new favorite of mine. The pita bread is some of the best I've ever had. The tzatziki sauce is actually the best I've ever had, and there's lots of great items on the menu. We had a lovely time and the staff were very accommodating and great to us. I would love to go back and try more of their menu.

    GRECA is a space of quality, care and integrity. From the organic ingredients, the unique and delicious dishes, the tasteful décor, the kind and efficient service, and overall atmosphere- five stars across the board. Aiden served us and was an absolute pleasure! Thank you GRECA, looking forward to next time!

    Amazing spot. The food was all fresh and delicious. Drinks were amazing. There are a ton of vegan and vegetarian options. I can't recommend Greca enough. I'll be coming back for sure.

  • 5/5 Haim H. 2 years ago on Google
    Fun vibe and great lunch options that are fairly priced. Will be back.

    The best vegetarian I've had in a loooooog time.

  • 5/5 Mary S. 2 years ago on Google
    I rarely write reviews but went here for drinks last night and have to say this place is classy, cozy, and I'm very impressed. The staff is super friendly and very attentive. The food and drinks are very delicious. And the ambiance is so classy I feel like I'm in a Bond film. GRECA is quintessential TriBeCa. Fantastic environment yet the sits are not very comfortable. I ordered the organic juice once but It’s very pricy.

    We needed a quick bite in between wedding activities nearby. The food was great and they were so accommodating of our short time frame. I love the tiki theme outside, too.

  • 5/5 M O. 1 year ago on Google
    Very welcoming and caring team. Excellent spread of tzatziki, spicy feta, hummus. One of the best mixed spreads. Nice chewy pita. Will try other dishes next time for eat in.

  • 5/5 Veronika S. 2 years ago on Google
    A beautiful addition to the vegetarian (+GREEK) restaurant scene in New York. 10/10 for the ambiance, service, and menu. Everything was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Hands down top 5 salads I’ve ever had.

  • 3/5 Francis C. 2 years ago on Google
    $24 for gemista is pricey even for New York. And I wouldn’t mind paying that much if it was really really good. But it was mediocre. Also got the Gyro and I would not recommend it. The staff was really nice and welcoming and I’m really happy there’s a vegetarian Greek restaurant but there’s room for improvement.

  • 5/5 Marsela K. 5 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    One of the most pleasant & immaculate greek dining experiences I’ve had! The interior is decorated beautifully & has an intimate setting. The food was outstanding, I’m obsessed with their artichoke mussaka, spanakopita & spicy feta dip & pita chips 🤌🏼❤️ best spicy margarita 🙌🏻 hands down was super impressed with everything! Special shout out to Ana & Aiden for the exceptional service! Will come back 10000% anytime I’m in NYC
