Kimo's

"I’m not sure how I feel writing this review. I used to champion this place and recommend it to everyone as a top 3 rockaway gem. The first time I tried it was amazing. Yet every other time I come back or order out the quality decreases. I was okay over paying for Mediterranean food due to their lack of competition and their super quality but now - to pay these prices and receive bone dry meat and stale pastries that would make any chef have a stroke. It’s sad. I am actually devastated at how inedible it’s become. I can’t even leave a 1 star review because I know how much potential this place has but today… I was very disappointed. Please look at the images of the food - I like to have the food speak for itself my words are just a bridge to get you there. I have put images of the bowl steak and chicken (dry as a bone) and the baklava and kunafa. Please if you’ve never had real baklava or kunafa google what they look like. I’ve eaten Turkish and Greek styles but whatever they served I wouldn’t give to my worst enemy. So please Kimo’s I love this place and want it to do better. So do better. On one positive note the falafel is still very good. And I did call and complain about the pastries so they redelivered a new batch. Which was very nice but the items were still not as expected. Basically not very good pastries. Very sad."

"I had the Pita, my wife had the bowl. The food was absolutely amazing. Fresh, healthy and incredibly delicious. Perfect portion. The desert was so good I had to hug the chef. Literally! The atmosphere was lovely. The service was terrific. My wife and I are already eager to return."

"Beautiful place steps away from the beach with a lovely outside seating area that is more like an oasis. The owner, Mike is a very nice man that stops to talk and ensures you enjoy your food and overall experience. Kimo’s has been a staple in the Rockaway community for quite sometime and keep improving. They have a nice selection of desserts including a moist baklava. Their thick chick is also very delicious and filling"

"stopped by with my friend after the beach and they did not disappoint! The service was really nice, portions were great we couldn’t even finish and the food was just delicious! They even had gluten free options for my friend. The place has a nice little backyard. Will definitely be our spot when we are in the area!"

"Amazing place, it smells so good when you enter! The food is really good, Egyptian falafels are great! Love the backyard with the sand area and lounge chairs. We were happy to be able to bring our bikes inside. Really recommend!"
