This place is such a must-try. The decor inside is so cute and it's such a nice vibe. The oven-roasted chicken was actually cooked to perfection. I wasn't a big fan of the zucchini chips because they tasted too greasy, but the food overall was great and service was good too.

Came here on 7/3 and it was very busy. You could clearly tell that this is the place to be in the Chinatown area. There is a line to put your name on the list then a wait for your table (make sure your entire party is there.) Food was amazing, service was top notch and a lot of good vibes. Would definitely recommend coming here for a dinner with friends or a date. The process to get your name on this list could get pretty hectic so make sure you ask others or else you will be waiting around.

Fun and unique spot. Come early or else there will be a wait. Food is delicious and drinks are reasonably priced. The salad is refreshing and the lamb falls off the bone. Would recommend skipping the octopus. Staff is kind but service is slow. Took a while to hunt down staff for each step of our meal process - from placing orders, to getting the bill, etc. But I'd return!

It's a super fun hidden Greek restaurant with strong LES energy. I actually didn't realize until like halfway through dinner, Kikis takes up both the space under the "printing" sign and the space across the street. The ambiance was fun, the wait staff were great, and the food was super reasonably priced (my total with 2 friends was only $70 before tip)! That said, the food didn't really blow me away, and the fava was a bit bland.

Tasty authentic Greek food in a unique environment. Moussaka ($17) - This is like a Greek version of lasagna with layers of potato instead of pasta sheets. It is filled with minced beef and pork and is quite yummy. I specifically liked the crispiness of the top layer, which was a contrast to the smooth potato layers. There was supposed to be eggplant in there too, but I didn't taste any. Grilled Loukaniko ($14) - This tasty sausage has an interesting orange flavor infused within it, which gives it some light fruitiness to accompany the typical meatiness. While I enjoyed it, the portion size was a bit small for the price. Spanakopita ($15) - This Greek classic did not disappoint as the crispy phyllo pie layers were cooked well and the baby spinach, dill, and feta within were all high quality. Although the food was good, I think what sets Kiki's apart from other Greek places is the environment. It is sort of like a run-down basement kind of vibe, but in a good way where it retains an old-time charm while also creating for a hipster yet cozy/homey kind of vibe. I think if you see my photos, you will understand. For example, outside the restaurant, they have still retained the old Chinese sign for the old printing shop that used to call the place home. Inside, there is an exposed white brick wall and unpainted wooden planks along the ceiling. They have some outdoor seating by the sidewalk as well as some indoor seating. The place can often get busy during peak hours, but we were able to snag two open bar seats without a reservation for Sunday dinner. The service speed is pretty quick. The staff are okay friendliness and did not check in on us during our meal though even though we were sitting right there at the bar. It seems like most of the staff are the young hipster type, which also matches the kind of customers that frequent this place (although there are other types of customers as well). Overall, I think Kiki's is a very solid option for Greek food in the Chinatown / Lower East Side area, particularly if you are looking for a more unique and trendy atmosphere.

We went to Kiki's for a Sunday dinner after hearing good things about this place from a Greek friend. We got seated quickly at the bar around 6:30 pm - the line got longer later in the evening. They don't take reservations, so I recommend coming in early on the weekend. Grilled Loukaniko ($14): this orange peel-flavored sausage has a unique citrus taste. The lemon squeeze balances out the meatiness pretty well. The sausage skin is on the harder side (which I prefer). However, $14 is a bit overpriced for likely just one sausage link. Spanakopita ($15): The crispy layers are thin, light, and soft, filled with a generous amount of spinach and feta in between. It's a little bit on the salty side likely because of the feta but not too salty. My first time trying this traditional Greek dish and it did not disappoint me. Moussaka Plate ($17): My favorite dish! It's like a Greek version of lasagna, but instead of pasta, they use mashed potato as layers. I'm normally not a potato person but this mashed potato is so creamy and light. It's not flavored too much which pairs perfectly with the minced pork and beef which is tomato-y (kinda like the red pasta sauce). The top of the potato layer is baked to crispy which adds texture to the dish. My only complaint is the lack of eggplant - I only had one small piece of it but overall the dish is great. The restaurant is located in between Chinatown and LES which probably explains the hipster/chill vibe of itself. I find it very interesting that the restaurant doesn't have an English sign but instead, it has a Chinese sign (which directly translated to Kiki's Greek Bistro). So if you find yourself at the corner of Division and Orchard looking at a restaurant with random Chinese signs, dw, you are at the right place!

Amazingly delicious food at a great price. We always leave this place super pleased. There is usually a wait especially on the weekend and no reservations.

The food was amazing. The tzatziki and eggplant dip were so fresh and delicious. They go perfectly with the pita chips. The Greek salad was simple but fresh and was a perfect addition to the meal. The saganaki was so good. A combination of savory and sweet, but if you're not a fan of cheese, I would avoid it as it is very cheesy. The lamb chops were amazing! Very juicy and soft and not gamey at all! The space was bigger than it looked from the outside and is very casual. It would be good for larger groups and even small groups. The service was amazing, and they were very attentive, especially to our allergies. Would definitely visit more!
