I was invited to Periyali in the Chelsea neighborhood and managed to make it there notwithstanding getting lost underground searching for the right subway and running through a downpour. To say that I was not presentable for the restaurant was an understatement. However, the host and the waiter was cool, understanding and accommodating as I pulled myself together in a... more

I love, love this restaurant. Candlelit, rose-filled and somehow filled with sunshine and warm far-away shores. Food was fantastic - loved their fresh sardines (wrapped in some light, flaky crust), grilled octopus, and paidakia. Must go place. more

Been to Periyali many times with my family. Outstanding food and service. Decor is humble. Fish is always cooked to perfection. Greek appetizers are delicious. Food is wholesome, not tricked up. more

We just had our second meal at Periyali and it was as fabulous as the first meal.. Don't miss the octopus appetizer- I mopped up all of the sauce with the wonderful bread. The Greek spreads- taramsolata, tsatiki and melazane are some of the best that I have ever had. We were the only walk-ins on a Friday night- but... more
