    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!

    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.

    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.

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

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

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

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

    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.

    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!!

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

    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
