Greek Restaurant Opens Flatiron Location

FLATIRON DISTRICT, NY — A new Greek restaurant is opening in the Flatiron District after a successful tenure on Long Island.

Kyma Flatiron, located on West 18th Street between Fifth and Sixth avenues, debuted its dinner service last week, according to a press release. Lunch and weekend brunch options will be announced soon, according to the announcement.

The restaurant's menu features Greek staples such as Spanakopita spinach pies, Stuffed Calamari with Greek cheeses and Pikilia and favorites from Kyma's location in Roslyn, New York such as Marinated Swordfish skewered with tomato, onion and bell pepper and Grilled Lamb Chops with roasted garlic and lemon.

"My take on food has always been an honest, simple approach – when you are working with the best ingredients, you don’t have to do much to plate a beautiful dish," restaurateur Reno Christou said in a statement. "At Kyma, we’ve created a menu meant to take you on a journey to the Greek islands, but we’ve sprinkled in some modern, more playful ingredients suited to New Yorkers."

The restaurant's decor will seek to evoke the architecture of the Greek islands. The eatery's white brick walls are inspired by Greece's white tree trunks, decorations include ancient pottery and olive trees and a large marble fish display will dominate the back of the dining room.

Dinner service at Kyma Flatiron currently begins at 5 p.m. nightly, but the lounge and bar open tat 11:30 a.m., according to a press release. The restaurant also has a second floor with DJ capabilities that is available for private events.
