Kimo's

“Kimo's is hands down the best restaurant in Rockaway, no debate. The ambiance alone is worth the visit because it legit feels like you walked into Greece and Egypt at the same time. I really felt so comfortable here. The food is where it really shines though. I got the Chicken Souvlaki Bowl and I've had souvlaki plenty of times but this one is different. The chicken is so juicy and well seasoned it's hard to go back to anywhere else. My friends got The Stacker and the Thick Chick, which are loaded fries with their homemade fried chopped chicken, white sauce and chipotle mayo. We were all picking off each other's plates, that's how good it was. Service was amazing!!, staff were super nice, and the whole experience just felt right. This was easily the highlight of my Rockaway trip and I'm already looking forward to coming back this summer. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out. ”

“I was really disappointed with my experience at Kimos Kitchen. The spices on the pita were so overbearing and piled on so heavily that they completely took over the taste of the food. It was impossible to enjoy anything else because all you could taste was the seasoning. On top of that, the restaurant itself smelled like dirty, old oil--and unfortunately, that smell translated directly to the food. The fries tasted like they were fried in old, unclean oil, which made them pretty much inedible. Overall, not a good experience and not somewhere I'd return to. I'm genuinely surprised by this response. My review reflected my personal experience with the food and parking -- nothing more. Constructive feedback is part of running any business, and I shared mine . Instead of addressing the concerns, the response became personal and hostile, which unfortunately reinforces my original disappointment. I support family-owned businesses and had hoped for a more professional reply. I'll let others read both my review and the owner's response and decide for themselves.”

“We are so excited that we discovered Kimo's. The food is delicious and fresh, and they have a great menu, and even had homemade Greek orange cake when we were there, which is a huge plus for us as we love it! And we really appreciate the fact that it is a family owned and run restaurant and they were super friendly when we were there. Will definitely be back and highly recommend!”
