    I have been to this place several times for dinners and night outs. Most recently I had my birthday celebration at Lefkes with my girlfriends and we had a blast. The food was delicious, great drinks and reasonable prices. We had a great dinner and then danced to the fun music. The manager, Simon, did an amazing job with getting us a good table and making sure everyone was happy during the night. They got me a big happy birthday sign and I felt so special. As always, had an amazing time.

    If you’re looking for a wonderful UWS restaurant to celebrate a special occasion, this is it! Lovely server, warm ambience and delicious Greek food. The sangria, red & white, was sweet and fruity. Then a basket of yummy rolls with olive oil arrives. We ordered three spreads with toasted pita for our shared appetizer which was yummy. Two ordered the sea bass which was perfectly cooked with a side of Brussels sprouts and two ordered moussaka which was such a generous portion that we had leftovers for the next day. We were too full for dessert however because we were celebrating a graduation the server surprised us with a shooting candle and four complimentary after dinner drinks! Overall a memorable and fabulous dining experience!!
