We sat outside which was delightful so of course the noise level was very low. The food was fresh it came out quickly and we had a wonderful time!
Excellent food, service, staff and atmosphere - Favorite meal Aliada Salad (minus cucumber, sweet peppers and raw onions as requested) Seafood Platter and Lemon Potatoes
Amazing service and amazing food! Highly recommend!
First time there and it is now my new favorite! Everything we ordered (a lot) was amazing. Service was good and everyone is attentive (refilling water, clearing dishes). Will definitely be back!
After a very poor impression on our first visit, it had been some time so we decided to give them another try. In short, Look elsewhere. There is better Greek food in Astoria with MUCH better service! Where to start? They seemed confused when we arrived with a reservation and it took 3 ppl to find it! We waited for close to 30 before we ever saw a menu. The food was fine. No better, no worse. The chopped salad was completely undressedâ¦no Evo, no vinegar or lemon for that matterâ¦dry. Although I thought the Taramasalata was quite good (fluffy, creamy and a little briny) the rest of the dips really lacked any personalityâ¦and since when is Tahini, (just straight up Tahini from a jar) considered a dip? Apparently only at Aliada! Sorry guy's but $4 for a couple of ounces of Tahini is just ripping ppl off. The entrees were fine. No better, no worse. The Pasticcio? Fine. The Moussaka? Fine. Not one person at the table said âthis is really goodâ when eating their main courses⦠the sides dishes, which really should be reliable from a Greek kitchen were average and bland. Roasted veggies, gigande beans, lemon potatoes? All kind of ehhâ¦These relatively flavorless lemon potatoes made me yearn for the long shuttered "Uncle Georgeâs" lemon potatoes which were amazing and memorable. While other tables around us were made to feel welcome and showered with attention, not once during the evening did a waiter come by to check on us. Not once. The the topper? At 9:15, we asked what they had for dessert. The waiter said "Nothing". I thought he was joking at first but nopeâ¦Q: what restaurant runs out of every single dessert they serve at 9:15 on a Friday night with a full restaurant still in service? Aliada does! I wouldâve thought after all that, at the very least the waiter wouldâve asked if we wanted or even offered us an after dinner drinkâ¦but nope. I paid cashâ¦left 20% and never saw the waiter again. Like I said above: There is better Greek food in Astoria with MUCH better service.
food portion is not good considering the $ they charged in each dish
The restaurant was completely outdoors, it was a bit uncomfortable in the heat. There weren't any fans just ice water to keep us cool. (We went later at night during the heatwave) I was a little disappointed they would not serve me mocktails (I am allergic to alcohol) They only offered me cocktails when I asked so I stuck with water. They ran out of the vegetable dish we had ordered but were able to accommodate a slight change in the cauliflower dish to help with my boyfriend's food restrictions. Our food was good however the Halloumi Fries were a very small portion and theres never enough pita with the tzatziki for me haha Overall its a beautiful restaurant with kind staff but I definitely prefer some of the other Greek restaurants in Astoria.
Great food and service. Only slight negative is the noise being on the street.
Iâve been here before & will continue to dine here - itâs one of my best go to places The swordfish was so so delicious, my mouth is watering thinking about it.
Aliada is a great place. Food always fresh and delicious, excellent service, friendly and good atmosphere. Definitely recommend!
