Master Critic Review

Kiki's 8.8
Two Bridges
Kiki's is a perpetually packed Greek taverna on Division Street where big plates of grilled meats, seafood, and feta-heavy salads anchor long, noisy dinners. Open since 2015 and now a Bib Gourmand–recognized spot, it’s become a Lower East Side institution thanks to its combination of affordable plates, strong house wine, and a scene-y but still welcoming atmosphere.
Must-Try Dishes: Grilled octopus with charred edges, Saganaki with honey and sesame, Lamb chops with fries

Value: 8.6 Service: 6.8 Consistency: 8.3 Food Quality: 9.1 Atmosphere: 9 Cultural Relevance: 9.2

Insider tip: Put your name in, then grab a drink nearby while you wait for a table.
