"We went as a family group of six, and sat outside on a nice evening, and it was quieter there to talk. Very good and interesting food. We were happy...just a minor drip from the air-conditioner on the fourth floor up above to contend with!"

Review 3 for Uncle Nick's Greek Cuisine - Hell's Kitchen
"Food was good - the mixed starter for 2 comfortably fed 3 of us and the kebobs were tasty. The service was quick and attentive; the only annoyance was that they didn't register our attendance so I got a follow up email from Opentable saying I had missed a reservation and was on the naughty list.
All in all very good, lively vibe but not rowdy."

Review 5 for Uncle Nick's Greek Cuisine - Hell's Kitchen
"Very nice meal. Ordered the moussaka and shrimp kebob...both were very good. Finished off with creme caramel which was excellent. Would definitely return to try some of their other dishes. Service was friendly and relatively quick so a good place to eat before heading to a show."

Review 6 for Uncle Nick's Greek Cuisine - Hell's Kitchen
"Sorry to say, food was awful, service was awful. Shocking because it's always been a favorite place to eat. The feta cheese/tomato Saganaki is supposed to be hot and sizzling with melted cheese. It was sliced mediocre, cold tomatoes with a slab of feta cheese on top which may have been warmed for a couple minutes, maximum! We had a guest visiting from Canada who seemed underwhelmed! My friend's Greek salad had no dressing and wasn't the usual deliciousness and even the four combo dips were lacking in their usual wonderful flavor. The bus boy was taking plates and drinks off the table before people were finished. It was just not up to par. Very disappointing."

Review 14 for Uncle Nick's Greek Cuisine - Hell's Kitchen
"Very fresh whole fish were the highlight. High prices. Very fun very noisy. We spent 2 hours and were not rushed. We did not care for the dips- off flavors. Save room for the baklava for dessert."

Review 16 for Uncle Nick's Greek Cuisine - Hell's Kitchen
"Uncle Nick's was great. A friend and I split a few of the appetizers for our meal - we had the combo greek dips with pita, the sauteed sausage, and the feta and tomato saganaki. The food was all really tasty, and the service was excellent - they treat customers like family."

Review 18 for Uncle Nick's Greek Cuisine - Hell's Kitchen
"We had a 6:15 reservation and arrived a little late due to so much traffic coming from New Jersey. We were going to a play at 7:00, so we had to really hurry and eat. We just ordered appetizers and salads. Our waiter was very accommodating and brought our food out right away. Everything was good. Wish we could have taken our time."

Review 20 for Uncle Nick's Greek Cuisine - Hell's Kitchen
"We came as a group of seven after an opera matinee. Our table was waiting for us. The service was outstanding, so was the food. My friend had the halibut and said it was the best she ever had. My partner and I have been here several times and it was never a miss. The other five in the group have been here for the first time and are already planning to come back."

Review 27 for Uncle Nick's Greek Cuisine - Hell's Kitchen
"Uncle Nick's is great... solid Greek fare, in a friendly casual atmosphere, and the price is right. The food is always fresh and delicious. Perfect for pre- or post-theater, a meet-up with friends, or just a reliable go-to spot on 9th ave."

"We went there on recommendation from a friend and LOVED it! We love low-key neighborhood-type restaurants. This was all of that and more. The service was super-friendly and the food was outstanding."

Review 33 for Uncle Nick's Greek Cuisine - Hell's Kitchen
What We Ordered: oktopodaki - yum! (but I've had it better in Queens- Gregory's on 26th)
spanakopita - one of the best I've ever had
paidakia (lambchops) - omg delicious! Cooked perfectly, great char, big portion
horiatiki (greek salad) - you can't eat Greek food without this salad
flounder - This was the biggest fish I've ever seen. It was almost bigger than the table! I got that with the briam (potatoes, zucchini, and tomato) which was also good but I wish there was more zucchini
rice pudding - sweet just like my aunt makes it
frappe - yes! very strong, so if you don't love coffee, don't get this. But if you do, this is coffee"

Review 34 for Uncle Nick's Greek Cuisine - Hell's Kitchen
"If you like good Greek food -- and seafood in particular -- this is probably the best place in Manhattan for it. Everything is consistently good. Seafood is clearly fresh, and always perfectly prepared. I strongly recommend the grilled sardines. And you can never go wrong with the Saganaki as an appetizer, or the Moussaka as an entree."

Review 37 for Uncle Nick's Greek Cuisine - Hell's Kitchen
"A group of 12 of us, including one baby, celebrated my sister's birthday at Uncle Nick's on Saturday evening. It was a good venue in every way. The food was great and plentiful. We were seated at the back large booth which worked out well. Special kudos to our server Evie who managed to stay on top of everything, including a special request to bring the birthday cake twice for the baby! We couldn't have asked for a better evening. Thank you, Uncle Nick's!"

Review 38 for Uncle Nick's Greek Cuisine - Hell's Kitchen
"Lively, noisy, old-school Greek restaurant. Very authentic food and atmosphere. It is crowded and the waiters seem hurried, but you will have fun at Uncle Nick's. The tzatziki is not to be missed."

Review 39 for Uncle Nick's Greek Cuisine - Hell's Kitchen
"We arrived a little late due to traffic but that was not a problem. We had to eat quickly due to theater tickets but the staff was wonderful in getting our food out promptly. It was very good and the flaming cheese is Delicious a must have. They even offered to hold our leftovers and we picked them up after our show. Very nice place we will be back for a quieter night."
