It's a classic diner with classic diner fare; take it for what it is and you wont be disappointed at all. I have had breakfast here several times and greatly enjoyed it each time. With El Greco out of the picture I imagine that they would now pick on some more diners.
I was surprised, this place is actually really good
its nothing special just an ordinary diner, but the food is fresh and it is prepared quick
i got a sandwhich with ham and cheese, they are really generous with ham and cheese, it was stacked
the fries are really good, not oily so that's a big plus, they offer sweet potato and home fries too, yum!
the portions are huge for the small prices, i would definetly eat here again
they also have a healthy menu for those on a diet, and they are good tasty options , not some gross salads.
Disappointment of a Greek diner! Where to start…oh maybe with the waiter knocking over my glass of water and going all over my side of the table and the floor. Lucky enough I have quick reflexes and moved out of the way in time or the water would have been all over me.
Anyways… On to the food!
I had the gyro- the worse gyro I've ever had. It was as hard as a hockey puck and flavorless. The pita seemed even old and hard. My friend had the chicken salad and was disappointed as well since it had no flavor at all.
This place was very slow and that is always a sign of business. I'm usually very very good about checking yelp reviews before going into a place but another person who was with me said she's been here before and we should go. I trusted her because Sheepshead is her neighborhood and not mine.
Never again will I believe someone else's word without checking Yelp reviews therefore I would never return here if I was dying of hunger and in Sheepshead.
I hadn't been aware that Kouros had sprung up in that location, and found it on Yelp in a search for a decent breakfast place in that neighborhood. Now I've been there a few times. It really is as clean as others have said. The wait staff was very polite and attentive. We ordered basic stuff that we have eaten at many other places, to make a direct comparison. One time we had a spinach & Swiss omelet, American cheese omelet, home fries, toast. Another time we had pancakes, waffles, bacon. While the food was prepared in the typical diner way, the quality was both better than expected and worse. The perfect eggs were neither runny nor overcooked. The home fries were light and not greasy. The just-right toast came hot and pre-buttered. The pancakes were ok but the waffles tasted like cardboard and required a whole lotta syrup (the fake stuff, of course) to make it palatable. The (very fatty) bacon was cooked okay. The coffee was so-so but drinkable. I had high hopes for this place at first but now I feel disappointed. I'll go there if I'm in the immediate area looking for a place to eat, but I won't go out of my way to get there.
I love their chicken souvlaki. It's so good. The tzaziki sauce is so tasty. I get this with the waffle fries.
My friends favorite is the disco fries (cheese fries with gravy). The gravy has a very different taste, like they put cinnamon in it, but it's still very good.
Having frequented El Greco Diner for years I was quite sad to see it close down recently. Fortunately, there is Kouros Bay Diner, which isn't too far off on Nostrand Avenue. Kouros Bay is a small diner and it seems like it is mostly frequented by elders in the neighborhood. When I first sat down, I immediately noticed the excellent service. We were escorted to a table and given menus as soon as we entered the diner. During our meal, we were approached multiple times by the waiter and waitress checking on our status. The friendly, home feel of the restaurant definitely gave us a good feeling.
Unfortunately, where the diner exceled in customer service, they lacked in food quality. As much as I wanted to like what we ordered, I was disappointed in the food. We ordered a Mushroom Burger with Fries and a Corned Beef Hash with Home Fries and Eggs. The Mushroom Burger lacked flavor and freshness. It was quite bland. The fries were soft and not hot/warm. The Onion Ring in the burger was not crunchy either. Despite the fact that they are a diner, I expected a better burger still. As for the breakfast dish we ordered, that was better. The Corned Beef Hash was not bad and the Home Fries and Eggs were cooked better. It's usually hard to screw up the breakfast dish, but I'm never one to be surprised.
I wanted so hard to like Kouros Bay Diner because of the friendly service, but the food was such a letdown. I will say that I'm going to give them another try and I hope the next time the food will prove me wrong about them!
came here on a saturday morning around 730am and there were already a few people there. it was 2 of us and we sat in a booth. the owner seated us but he looked as if he didn't want to be there or to be bothered. we ordered the french toast and gyro breakfast. everything came really quickly. the french toast was a little weird to me, i can't put my finger on it but there's a distinct taste to it that i didn't like. the gyro breakfast was just a gyro with egg and home fries. the home fries were eh. i've had better but it was ok. the lamb was also just ok. not sure if i would come back here
