    Lovely room with gorgeous chandeliers! So convenient when going to the 92nd St. Y for an event! Had an outstanding and very large Caesar salad to start and then the rigatoni with red sauce and ricotta which was good but not great. And a cappucino in the cutuest cup! Been going here since the restaurant first opened years ago. Always solid and enjoyable!

    As always, one feels warmly welcomed at Korali. The service was attentive, but not overly fussy. The food was delicious. My friend and I ordered from the prix fixe menu. My vegetable moussaka was fantastic. The Greek salad was perfect. My friend enjoyed her shrimp and salmon kebab. Of course, we’ll be back!
