Sit outside with the locals and earsdrop on gossip from the homeland (and the bookie). Great home cooked Greek food . Fried squid is a must!

Erik Cintron

Fun place that is surprising bigger than it looks with outside rustic eating. Food was awesome and very inexpensive . The wait staff was attentive. Parking can be tough. Potatoes chips are amazing.

Carol

Love the food, service, and ambiance. It’s super spacious so great for events and I love seeing local Greek families gathering for a Sunday meal. They give you free dessert after your meal!

One of the best Greek restaurants in Astoria , best for the sharable vegetable small plates . Free doughnuts for dessert every night except Saturday.

A great family-style restaurant setting. Reminds me of a place back home that we used to go to after church . Cozy , classy , with friendly service . Amazing fish dishes .

Jase Eng

Fresh fish grilled and seasoned well ! Lemon potatoes were delicious! On my fav list!

Tony Xerri

One of the better 50+ Greek restaurants in Astoria . Not as good as Bahari and a little pricier , but still good.

Drew Tabu

The grilled fish is wonderful but you should also go wild with the side dish vegetables which are fantastic.

Viren Kaul

Meat platter, sausage , meatballs . Well known for their grilled octopus . The meal ends with the most delicious fried dough with a honey topping!

Allison Rihn

The best Greek Food I've ever had. Everything tastes so fresh. Portions are All a "sharing size". Definitely a place to go with family or friends. Love!

Athina G.

Everything is great here!! Go there on a weekday and you get an order of loukoumades ( think zepoles with honey drizzle on them) after dinner ! They are definitely worth it!!

Elefterios Filipoussis

Paolo Barone

A really nice place. Excellent food (the fried calamari are awesome) and great service

Natalie

I've been coming here for over 10 years. Great Greek cuisine in Astoria. Amazing experience every time we go.

Kristin Leary

You must order the lima beans with tomato sauce . If you aren't a Lima beam fan, don't worry. They aren't really Lima beans , and you will love them.

Zach Greenberg

Grilled octopus is the best. Saganaki is amazing. Generally speaking. Everything is amazing

Alex Kostoulas

Awesome lamb chops and saganaki ! House wine is good too

Cesar R.

Meet the wonderful owner, Nana. She'll treat you like family. Also, try grilled octopus and the rib-eye steak .

Erin Shea

Delicious, fresh Greek food !

Sarah Bailey

The baked Lima beans are so flavorful - absolutely delicious!

Jessica Flores

The spicy feta dip and grilled octopus are delicious.

E R

Great for groups !

The grilled calamari was overcooked, unseasoned and had a rubber texture. The fried calamari was drowning in uncooked flour we could not find it. The bread was stale. #overcooked #rudeservers

Garlic mashed potatoes are addictively delicious.

ellen resnick

They wud not honor the $10 off. Also service was not up to par, wine came out 20 min late. And they ran out of lemon potatos and arguded to replace it with fries ..

John Chacon

Tried to go last night, worst service ever, was with group of 3 and they sat 4 groups of four ahead of us. We were so mad we left.

Noam Wolf
