The waiter was wonderful and the food was delicious! We spent a few hours here and were not rushed out at all. Amazing greek food and service!
Wonderful meal, excellent server, delicious sangria
Great local spot.
Ordered the grilled octopus with a side of grilled vegetables. Bothers were delicious, the veggies could have fed 2. As a nice surprise, before my lunch arrived, I was served a delicious meat pie. Really thankful for being within walking distance.
I always have a good meal. Wonderful staff; Covid compliant. Great value
Food is so flavorful and delicious. Huge portions. Friendly waiters.

Amanda was excellent. Sooo efficient. And pleasant!
Service was not as good as it once was. Saturday night and restaurant wasn't too crowded. our server only had 3 tables at the time and at no point did anyone come by to fill our water glasses up.
Also portion size seemed smaller from what I remember from previous visits.
Food is delicious as always .portions are perfect . Baklava was good too
Great food for the value
It was a breakfast buffet. The food on the buffet was lukewarm at best and not very visually appealing. The taste and experience were mediocre at best. The wait staff were good and cleared plates diligently.
Great portions but service wasn’t great had to keep asking for stuff and we were ignored in back room
I love this restaurant! The food was excellent and the staff was very friendly especially to my four grandchildren
Great service (Amanda was terrific) great food & great prices. What more could you ask for?
Very good Greek food and service. Even though this is a chain the quality of the food is excellent especially the gyros and greek salads. We shared humus and grilled octopus as well!
The food is excellent. There is quite a variety of delicious items. The ambiance is pleasing and soothing. For the quality of food offered, the Sunday brunch is priced reasonably. Yes, I have told friends about Ayhan's and will return soon.
I’ve eaten there before many times. I feel the quality of the food was of lesser quality at brunch, which this meal was, than when I have gone there for dinner.
Had the nicest waiter ever, the food was amazing, and the restaurant has the cutest Mediterranean aesthetic. My family is already planning the next visit!
Great service and food was delicious.
Very welcoming and accommodating of our party of 18. A great place for a party. Wonderful food. Very easy for people with special dietary requirements eg GF or DF
Great place to meet for a healthy lunch. Ample parking.
The lunch specials are an exceptional value. They are generous and tasty
Really good buffet. I was filled up the entire day
We hadn’t been to this restaurant in years as we no longer live in the area, but it wasn’t just as good as we remembered! We thoroughly enjoyed it!
Food was absolutely amazing, as always! The service is always great. And the staff was SO nice, helpful, and well-mannered. I look forward to dining here again soon!
Food was excellent and our waiter was awesome with his recommendations and attentiveness
Best Greek food on Long Island!
Great food and service
I love this place! I used to visit the plainview location, but I was sad to see that rent got way to high there. This location is a bit out of the way for me, but I definitely will be back as there is just no better food in Long Island.
Without a doubt, the food is great, the service is top notch, the decor is spot on and I couldn't ask for a more authentic Mediterranean place.
Ist time here the Food and service was excellent!!! Will definitely return
Not busy so we were allowed to sit and chat
Never been here , but first time , If I was in the area I would go back . I loved the Garlic sauce with the bread. Oh My was that good !!!!!!!!
Our meal was perfect, so was the drink, and of course our waitress.

The baby lamb chops with rice and veggies were delicious. The skirt steak is also excellent. Very good service.
Great food, but it could have been cleaner (dead flies on the window sill by the booths.
