Their Filet Mignon Souvlaki over Greek salad is quite superb. It is tender and tasty, and it perfectly compliments the Greek salad. The same holds true for their home-made tzatziki yogurt sauce, served with pita.
There is always something new to try at Cusmos due to their lengthy menu options, which range from calamari, to stuffed shrimp, to falafels, to veggie gyros.
For dessert, patrons can enjoy any of the following: baklava (the sweet Greek pastry with layers of phyllo, honey and walnuts), as well as Kataifi (a pastry with shredded phyllo), and their own rice pudding. All of these savory delights are made in house.
Dean Michalos from the restaurant noted that Cusmos is family-owned and family-operated, and it has been open for nine years in Lindenhurst on Long Island. He shared that their popular items include chicken over Greek salad, and gyros, and even burgers. He noted that the restaurant stands out due to their “service,” as well as the “pride for what they do.”
On his concluding thoughts about the Greek-American community in the United States, Michalos said, “If we all stand together, and we all look out for one another, I think we can do great things for ourselves and our community. There is a lot of potential as far as the youngsters are concerned, and we have a lot of talent and a lot of abilities. We have to change the way we think, that way, we can do great things.”
