Korali Estiatorio - New York

Korali is a great place to eat before an event at the 92nd Street Y. Lovely staff, service is quick, food a tasty.

This is not an inexpensive restaurant, but the high quality justifies the prices. Ingredients were all top-notch, and cooking and service on point. The grilled octopus, instead of being whole tentacles, was already sliced into coins and served over fava puree and a little onion salad--the octopus was perfect, neither tough nor mushy, and the puree especially delicious, like hummus only better. Shrimp Santorini was made with excellent sweet and plump shrimp, and the lamb souvlaki was carefully trimmed meat cooked exactly as we asked. I especially appreciated the delicacy of the seasoning and the use of herbs; too many places add tons of dill, but here it was just enough, as well as just enough salt. Nice wine selections, too.I'm not in this neighborhood often, but when I am I will definitely consider eating here again.

Clean, simple and good food with outstanding service.

We ordered shrimp and scallops in tomato sauce and on a bed of mashed potatoes. It was delightful, I enjoyed every bit of it, then we had the greek fries with feta cheese and it wasn’t that good. The fried were not fried properly, they were soggy and felt more like mash potatoes rather than French fires.Food: 3/5

Good quality Greek food in UES. Large menu with mostly standard items, but well prepared. Neighborhood gem with a loyal clientele. Friendly service and ambiance.
