Service was good.The moussaka was very soupy and improperly cooked- you could taste the flour.The halibut was underseasoned and overcooked.The swordfish was the worst of the 3, overcooked, way too much lemon.The fried zucchini was pretty good. The lemon potatoes were okay.I'm confused because this place has good reviews. We were really disappointed.

Bf and I wanted to have an evening in Astoria, and came across this place in my research for good Greek food. Made a reservation for Saturday night and it was packed - all kinds of groups could be found dining including big families, dates, friends, et al. Immediately knew this place was legit. Food was impeccable and the decor made me feel as though I was back in the Greek islands. Our server was very sweet and attentive and honestly couldn’t haven’t l asked for a better experience. We ordered the baked feta, nanas salad, the spinach rice dish (I forget the name), red snapper, and octopus with a bottle of white wine. Had the sweet grapes with yogurt for dessert and we left completely happy. Strongly recommend this place!!

Excellent food. Friendly staff. Highly recommend

We had the BEST birthday dinner! Food was divine and the staff was SO nice and helpful. Octopus and saganaki are must haves, Greek salad is huge (we had the small size) and the unlimited warm bread was heavenly! The house white wine was delicious and affordable. The staff sang happy birthday for us and brought us a sparkler candle, highly recommend!

everything is very good, I recommend it to everyone, nice place

Amazing! Friendly staff and delicious food. My wife loves it too

Loved dining here— their bread and olive oil is to die for, i could live off just that. We ordered the greek salad, hummus, and steak. The salad was a bit under seasoned and the hummus had a different texture from what I’m used to but otherwise everything was delicious! The service and ambience is really great, I would come back again.

This is a very nice Greek restaurant. The service is excellent, the decor is nice, the menu is good and for warm weather they have outdoor seating.

This restaurant is one of Astoria’s biggest gems. The food is always a 10/10. My usual go to is the lamb chops which melt in your mouth, their chicken kebab and rib eye steak are must haves.They also make some of the best traditional dishes that will surely remind you of grandmas cooking. Their spanakorizo (spinach and rice in light tomato sauce) is the only one I’ll ever eat other than my moms. Their mousaka is to die for and their yogurt and grape desert just tops it all off.The staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcome and right at home. And the owner and her family are always there ensuring their guests are greeted when they enter and exit.

Food was delicious and had great service! What else could you ask for. Place itself was clean and staff were very professional. Would definitely recommend friends and family.
