Kouzina - Stamford

Great environment, delicious food, super nice barkeeper! I'll go there all the time. recently went with a friend who is very picky about cocktails. niki one of the bartenders took care of us. our drinks were made perfect each time. everyone in the bar was super happy.

Great service, but eat well. the Greek American salate was so, with not so much olive oil. the grilled mixing plate was better, but not perfect as I would expect from the Greek restaurant.

A late lunch. the staff seemed to ignore us for a bit, but we had comfortable sitting and the menu had many good choices to lunch. we all chose salate. I was bored with the Greek American salate with Gyro meat. I enjoyed it with lots of fresh salad vaeggs and good gyro meat. but I come back to the service. it only felt cold and uninterested. which is frustrating because eating was pretty good. I'm going back to the finals. Maybe a bad timing, but I'll remember the next time I come back.

I really enjoyed my meal tonight at Kouzina! This was not my first time eating here but my first time sitting outside, they had such cute tables and decor and I preferred the sidewalk seating to sitting inside which is not well lit and kind of loud. My family always gets the Prasini salad and the spicy feta spread to start which were both great as usual. I ordered the Athenian salad for the first time and was looking forward to trying the halloumi I liked the salad but besides for the cheese I found it somewhat plain. One of the reasons the Prasini salad is so good is because it's tossed in a great lemony vinaigrette with fresh dill before being served, but the Athenian salad just had a little balsamic dressing drizzled on top. The large chunks of the tomato and romaine in the Athenian salad were certainly fresh but not as tasteful a bite as the chopped Prasini salad. I tried a bite of the gyro and it was definitely tasty and fresh but I found the fries to be pretty soft/soggy. The chicken souvlaki skewers and especially the tzatziki were really good as always. Definitely will be back!

Sofia the hostess was very attentive and got us a table right away. There was a longer than desirable wait time for being greeted and getting water. Briana our server also gave quality service and was able to provide useful recommendations. Katerini was delicious and I'm so glad I was able to try a kilo of chicken and pork 3.5/5
