    Greek Night 🇬🇷✨ Visited Meraki Greek Bistro in Williamsburg and it did not disappoint. From the beef and chicken meatballs to a classic souvlaki platter paired with the tastiest tzatziki, this meal was a solid 10/10! 🍊 I also got to try portokalopita (a classic Greek orange pie) for the very first time! I love trying new things, and this was the perfect sweet finish. Tag who you would bring here for date night or a foodie date! 👍🏼 #nycfoodie #nycfoodie #greekcuisine #williamsburgeats #williamsburgfood

    AUTHENTIC GREEK CUISINE 🇬🇷 - This was our first time at a Greek Restaurant, and it won’t be our last. We’ve been invited to Mediterranean restaurants, that have little accents of Greece, but we got the real deal at this place, and loved the food. If you’re like us, and the first things you think of when someone mentions Greek food are: gyro’s, falafel, and a Greek salad 🥗, you aren’t far off from most people. The last thing we wanted to show you were items that you already know of, basically street food, as the new term is, and as the people sitting next to us ordered. When I heard one of them say, “Greek salad,” I could help but chuckle 🤭 a bit. We ordered some items we were familiar with, and some that just sounded magnificent, and trust, everything was phenomenal. From the blue and white decor, to match the colors of the flag, to the swanky seating up front, to the cozy benches with pretty pillows and woven chairs. We loved the windows on the wall, and the barn doors to the restroom. They have a lovely drink 🍷 menu with great names like: Spartan Spirit, Baklava Sour, and Naxos Odyssey. We tried an appetizer, salad, one of the Chef’s Specializes as an entrée, a side, and a trio dessert 🍮 with sparkling water 💦. I need to find that water. It was so crisp and clean tasting, imported from Greece. Come taste a cuisine that will forever stay in your heart, where you’ll be back for more. #invited #hosted #greekfoodnyc #nycrestaurants #nycmamíonthemove

    Waitress attitude wasn’t the best since the moment we got there, hostile, and also at the end rude, aggressive behavior asking for the reason of the amount of the tip. Besides that, nice, tasty Greek food."

    Pretty avg greek food. Nothing special and pricy for the quality. Server was super friendly and nice but kitchen brought out apps and mains 2m apart and just felt like a ton of food all at once. Lastly person on the grill should clean the grill with a scrub more often. Pita tasted burnt cause of all the sud. Octopus was the best tasting. Calamari was avg. my slouvaki was avg and the bifteki was medium to medium rare and mushy.

    Our experience at Meraki Greek Bistro was absolutely incredible. Having recently returned from our honeymoon in Greece, we’ve been on a mission to find the most authentic Greek food in the States — and Meraki has been the clear standout. We started with the mezze trio and calamari. Every spread in the trio was full of bold, vibrant flavor, and the calamari was seasoned to perfection — easily some of the best we’ve had. For our entrée, we shared the gyro platter family-style, and it did not disappoint. The portions were generous, and every protein was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. We were also celebrating my birthday, and the staff went above and beyond by treating us to a slice of baklava. It was rich, flaky, and the perfect sweet ending to the meal. A special shoutout to our server, Brisa, who made the night even more memorable. She was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable — striking the perfect balance of being present without ever feeling intrusive. Her thoughtful service truly elevated our experience. We truly can’t say enough good things about Meraki. We’re visiting from Virginia, but it’s now a must-visit spot whenever we’re in NYC
