I’ve been walking by this restaurant for years in hopes I would get to eat there one day. My husband and I were walking around and decided to make a last minute reservation. Best decision ever! We got the Branzino and Duck Shawarma. Everything was absolutely amazing and we were talking about it all night. Beautifully decorated and the staff were so great I changed my tip amount to the highest percentage on the receipt. Keep being amazing!! Can’t wait to come back.

Place is nicely decorated and huge. I had high hopes for the restaurant, based on all the reviews. However, we came back disappointed. First, place was very (very) loud. They were playing loud music, which made people to talk loud. 2nd place was understaffed or staff needed more training. We sat at the bar (while waiting for the table) and had to wait 10 min to order the drinks and the wanted to order appetizers, but bar tender never came. Service on the main table was very slow. Finally, food was average. Favors were on. Beef sandwich was good but Lamb gyro was not wow.
Their are better place in NYC.

Beautiful space that’s been around for decades. Early Sunday reservation wasn’t too busy but still had a nice vibe. All the food was excellent, every dip was delicious, plus the lamb cigar and beef short rib stood out. A little expensive but worth it. Would happily return. Great service too.

My third time at Barbounia, I’ve always enjoyed the food and drinks!
But I’m here to mention the heirloom cauliflower – I’ve never ever had such an amazing dish made of cauliflower, they’re like little brocollinis crispy fried sweet savory! Pure joy!
Also, great service, always.

We stopped by for happy hour drinks and mezzes at Barbounia and were reminded yet again why this place has been a favorite of ours for years!! The atmosphere is always spot-on—lively, warm, and effortlessly cool—perfect for unwinding after a long day.
The cocktails were excellent (balanced, creative, and clearly made by someone who knows what they’re doing), and the mezzes were just as good—fresh, flavorful, and ideal for sharing.
A special shout-out to Eugenio, our bartender, who truly made the experience exceptional. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming, with great recommendations and flawless execution behind the bar. Service like his is the reason we keep coming back!
Consistently great drinks, delicious food, and an outstanding team—this place never disappoints. Highly recommend, especially if you’re lucky enough to catch Eugenio behind the bar.

Restaurant had a Mediterranean feel with plenty of light and a delightful breeze flowing through multiple large double doors. Food is delicious. Israeli salad was fresh and invigorating. Chicken schnitzel sandwich was large and difficult to eat but tasted great. Would highly recommend. Reasonable prices and friendly staff.

Absolutely fantastic food and service. The grilled octopus was the best we’ve had. We ordered the five mezzes, highly recommended! The lamb kofteh and short ribs? We ate what we could and packed the rest for home… Good gluten free options.

Came for Thursday night dinner with my son; we made a reservation for 6:30 on OpenTable and were immediately seated upon arrival. The restaurant had a really lively atmosphere with most tables already filled. Service was outstanding – super attentive, quick to reset the table with new clean dishes and flatware, really top notch from the waiter to the busboys. The manager came over at one point to check in with us and offered complimentary non alcoholic champagne which my son is now absolutely obsessed with! Overall 5 out of 5 stars.

We had a fantastic evening at Barbounia. The place is vibrant, full of energy, and definitely on the lively side, so expect a fun atmosphere rather than a quiet dinner.
Our waiter, Timur, made the night special. He was attentive, professional, and handled all of our allergy restrictions with real care. Every dish came out perfect, and you could tell he takes pride in what he does. If you can, try to sit in his section.
Food highlights:
• The red snapper was cooked perfectly, juicy and flavorful.
• The short rib was slow cooked and melted in the mouth, one of the best I’ve had in a while.
• For dessert, the tahini ice cream halva dish stood out. It had a unique texture and layered flavors that I’d highly recommend.
The only miss for us was the Greek salad, which was heavy on dill and vinegar, throwing off the balance. Everything else was superb.
Service, food, and ambiance all get top marks from me. The restaurant does get busy, so reservations are a good idea. If you’re looking for a place with great Mediterranean food, excellent service, and a buzzing scene, Barbounia is a solid choice

Barbounia is definitely a lively, high-energy spot, but unfortunately the experience didn’t live up to the hype for us.
We started with the mezze platter (five items) served with flatbread, which was the highlight of the meal—fresh, well-executed, and enjoyable. From there, things went downhill. The branzino was bland and lacked seasoning, especially disappointing for a dish that should shine on its own. The chicken shish kebab was made with dark meat, which was not stated on the menu; as white-meat fans, this was a letdown. While the lamb entrée was nicely presented, it was underwhelming in flavor.
The drinks didn’t meet our expectations, and even dessert missed the mark—the Dubai chocolate tart paired with passion fruit tasted off and didn’t come together well.
Service was another downside. Our server was blunt and unfriendly, which only added to the overall disappointment. The restaurant was extremely crowded, with tables placed uncomfortably close together, making the dining experience feel rushed and cramped rather than enjoyable.
Overall, while the atmosphere is energetic and buzzy, the food, service, and comfort didn’t justify the hype. This isn’t a place we’d return to.
