This place is the best to get you authentic Greek produce, in addition the staff is very courteous! Love going there everything is so good . Highly recommended ??
This market is a hidden gem in Queens! They have such a wide range authentic Greek products including fresh items like cheeses, olives, spreads, etc. The staff are super helpful at picking products, they helped translate info about items, allowed me to taste the cheese, and even shared a recipe with me. The store was extremely clean and organized every time I visited. Would recommend to anyone looking to try out new, delicious foods and those who want to receive impeccable customer service every time!
A small and friendly Hellenic store with everything you need to feel like you are back home in Greece! I drive there once a month from Connecticut to find everything I need,and to catch up with the latest from back home
Thank God we have this Greek store in our Neighborhood cause without them I will have to drive all the way to Astoria. They are awesome and so helpful .
I have been shopping there for over 15 years and always had the most pleasant experience. I guess I'll be going back for another 15.
Very good prices and quality. The best olive oil and feta cheese.
I asked my my wife to stop by Mediterranean Tastes on N. Blvd at 196th Street to pick up a few items for Orthodox Easter. She picked her items and waited on line for her turn to pay. The customer in front of her spoke fluent Greek to the man behind counter and expressing that he doesn't have a bag. The worker behind the counter said I'll give you one with no charge. When it was my wife's turn to pay she spoke Greek and a mixture of English to him. He then turned around to his other coworker and said she's American/Greek and charged her for the bag. This post is not because of the "bag" but instead how this place treats differently "Greeks" vs. American-Greeks. Also, my wife never gives reviews despite how great or bad her experiences are. I'm writing this on her behalf because she feels like she never wants to go back to this store, being singled out. It's a shame because this store has some very good items that we like.
Great selection of Greek products. Everything always fresh. Staff is very friendly, helpful and appreciative of your patronage. Always a pleasure shopping there. I highly recommend this business.
Terrible customer service! Very rude personnel! Despite the fact that the store was empty, I was treated like they don't need customers. In fact, photos of this place (exterior) on Google are fake as they were taken from another Mediterranean Foods supermarket in Astoria. Anyway, I rather drive all the way to Astoria than step in to this market ever again. Good Luck!
Mediterranean Tastes has been my family’s and my go-to market since its inception nearly 50 years ago, and the *only* place I buy Arahova Feta cheese and grated Kefalotyri cheese, yummier than any Parmigiano-Reggiano I’ve ever tried! Beyond those, my standard purchases include:- K. Kloni or Vourderi sour cherry preserves- large containers of FAGE, the only yogurt I enjoy- melitzanosalata (eggplant dip)- Minerva Horio EVOO- pitted Kalamata olives- whole wheat pitaAnd every so often, I treat myself to a bit of Manouri cheese, my all-time favorite, which I devour right away! So creamy, so yummy.I will always be loyal to Mediterranean Tastes, even after having recently moved 1 hour away, as I’d much rather spend my money there than at any supermarket chain. Especially these days when the political tyrants who “lead” America’s states and cities have perpetually tried to destroy small businesses throughout the country, *loyalty* to those you know well is key!Mediterranean Tastes’ inventory and variety are great, and the staff, including the owner Lefteri, whom I’ve long known, and Litsa, superb. I highly recommend this gem of a market to anyone seeking fresh, quality Greek food and snacks.I always, always leave there with a smile! You’re likely to, too. ?
