Restaurants in Astoria

“I highly recommend this restaurant! The food is amazing! You must try the buffalo wings if you love your dishes with a spicy kick and the buffalo cauliflower bites that simply melt in your mouth! The Chef's V Steak is a rich and flavorful you should try it. The service is wonderful and the ambiance is very trendy.”

“We celebrated a birthday here and were blown away by the quality of service, food, and atmosphere. We got to pick out our own fish and the waitress was so kind and attentive.
If you have a special occasion to celebrate or just want an intimate dinner, come here!”

“My wife and I stumbled onto this location one day when passing through Queens. She just wanted to grab a quick cup of coffee, but what we got was so much better than expected. We had a “flat white” which was amazing high-quality coffee. And a piece of homemade baklava. I have to say this was hands-down, The absolute BEST baklava I’ve ever had in my life and if you’re a fan of this dessert, you absolutely need to go try it for yourself. I myself, have grown-up eating plenty of baklava. In my hometown, we have one of the highest Middle Eastern populations in the country so we have plenty of great baklava but I’ve still never had it this good. It was Perfect!✨ A large quantity, but not too filling, well-defined layers, very light & flaky but still moist, and just the right amount of nuts. when you bite into it, no part of the dessert gets lost or covered up. You can taste every element standing out with prominent flavor; from the freshness of the walnuts to the sweetness of the syrup and quality of the dough. After talking to the owner for a while, she explained to us how she bakes everything herself and how she refuses to buy her desserts from bakeries or skimp out on quality even if it makes her job easier. Let me tell you, it shows! I highly respect the integrity she brings to her baking and her café. She also gave us some cookies that were amazing as well.

Now let me tell you a bit about the owners of this establishment. They’re a dedicated hard working family from Montenegro and were some of the nicest people I’ve ever met in my travels. They were VERY kind warmhearted people who opened their business up to us as if it was their home and we were long time friends, stopping by for a visit. It was honestly surreal how comfortable they made us feel. We spoke for over an hour and enjoyed their beautifully designed and well kept Café/Bar. Whenever I go to a new location, I really pay close attention to how much the owners care about their business and the customers they serve. It is by far the most important criteria. With these owners, you can tell they really put their all into the business and it is truly a family affair. I loved how the husband and wife were both there working together and even their daughter pitches in. The daughter even drew this amazing Halloween picture on the board by the entrance and you can tell how proud her parents are of her skills. I truly admire the love and attention this family puts into their business, and I can confidently say they’re the American dream in action!🇺🇸 Please go pay these guys a visit I promise you won’t be disappointed. I know for us, It will be worth it to make the trip from New Jersey to visit again soon.”

“We ate like in Italy, fantastic welcome, exquisite food!
Real arancini, not modified recipes because we are in America! Polenta with meat, classic carbonara pasta, excellent! Thank you”

“Food was excellent and service was even better! Our favorites were the fried eggplant and the Afghan naan. Couldn’t recommend this enough & will definitely be coming back.”

“Pedi un cake para 20 personas y en tamaño me ofrecen uno alto y el que me llegó fue”

“I recently dined at Sotto La Luna restaurant in, New York and had a great experience! The pasta with truffles was amaazing, offering a rich flavor that truly impressed me. My friend enjoyed the cacio e pepe. We concluded our meal with a delicious tiramisu, providing a perfect sweet ending. The service was excellent, ensuring our glasses were always full. I highly recommend Sotto La Luna for an authentic Italian dining experience✨”

“The grilled pork chop plate was on the money”

“Not to be missed. Grilled beats fried.”

“Only one word, EXCELENT . We really appreciated that they open a site in our neighborhood , the food is great, the price is accesible and the manner of the employers is really out of question so good.”

“I am in awe how absolutely incredible the shrimp tacos were. When I was checking out at the restaurant I got a bit of sticker shock on how expensive it was, however it was well worth it. 100% recommend. Fast service and cute neighborhood vibe.”

“The management and staff are on point and the food is always great.

I gotta admit I was skeptical when this place came to the neighborhood, but every time my wife and I eat here, we’re always pleasantly surprised. It has a sports bar feel, which is the only reason I gave the ‘atmosphere’ 4 stars. A little noisy for us old folks.
.”

“An amazing place. People are so hospitable and the food is so good. We had a falafel sandwich and nutella fataeer and they were amazing! Everything was so fresh and they make it in front of you.”

“I highly recommend coming here! The food was beyond amazing and the drinks were good! The atmosphere was busy (maybe due to the rain) but still good vibes
We had the Calentado and Hamburguesa with the bottomless $20x90 minutes drinks. I’ve attached our bill for reference so it was about $60 per person with tip included.”

“love the protein bowl! love all the juices!”

“your next sushi spot in astoria, queens! the interior makes it feel like you’ve been transported to a tropical island while eating delicious sushi. presentation was on point and can’t wait to come back!”

“Wonderful roasted lamb on rib bones in a lemonaise sauce served with roasted potatoes. Lamb also available in a tomato sauce. And the gratis dessert makes a sweet ending.”

“Back at Tufino after 2 years of Covid and the Pizza it’s EXCELLENT as usual. I’m originally from Napoli, IT and Tufinos pizza is just like back home.”

“This pizza is delicious. Even after 3 slices you don’t feel full and weighed down. So good. The dough is unlike anything I’ve had in a pizza. Soft yet crispy. The sauce , cheese all terrific. Found my new pizza joint.”

“I get a plain pie and fried Calamari to split with my fam. If you go during the summer check out there outside dining area.”

“Great atmosphere and service!!”

“Lovely experience all around - the food was amazing, the service top notch, and a good price point. Happy to have a place I can walk to in my neighborhood that is nice enough to bring any of my guests. Grazie!”

“Wonderful ambiance, staff is courteous, helpful and very knowledgeable on menu items. They are following COVID guidelines, the place is clean and looks like they have upgraded the decor. The food is delicious and hot. Their tomato sauce is perfect! The sangria is very good too. Great little neighborhood place.”

“Excellent service and food”

“I recently visited Avenue restobar and had an outstanding experience. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for a night out or a relaxed evening. The menu offers a wide variety of delicious drinks and dishes.

What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service. The manager goes above and beyond to ensure every guest feels welcomed and taken care of. The bartender is incredibly skilled and crafted some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Their attention to detail and friendly demeanor truly made the night special.

If you’re looking for a place with great food, amazing drinks, and top-notch service, Avenue Restobar is the place to be. Highly recommended!”

“Best old fashions in Astoria.”

“It’s mostly a takeout place. They do have a few booths and Soccer on the TV, but the real draw is the food. The chicken enchiladas were great and my girlfriend really enjoyed her pork chops. It’s clear the staff here are trying hard and it shows. I would say the grilled meats are much better than average. The chicken in my enchilada was grilled, which gave it a much better flavor than I normally get with chicken enchiladas. You can see the presentation is also nice and the portions were large.”

“I recommend the entire menu...start with the left side and work your way to the right....none of it will disappoint you.”

“Albeit Italian, this is a family-owned restaurant (the owners are Greek). The menu is comprised of mostly Italian dishes, with some inspired Greek dishes. A great neighborhood spot! Love it!”

“Absolutely wonderful spicy tuna poke bowl. I highly recommend this place. We got takeout and it was ready fast. Great price. Amazing poke bowl. This is definitely a place we will frequent!!!!!”

“They got great food here at the deli for good prices. They also sell other things like groceries. The staff are super friendly & the tortillas they make themselves are so good.”

“really nice people great food only reason you don’t get 5 Stars is because you guys don’t pick up the phone so i can place an order. its helpful when on my way to work since you guys are by the train.”

“Friendly service, affordable fresh deli and sandwich options, and wide variety of grocery items. Italian hero and chicken cutlet hero’s are my favorites. Open 24 hours!”

“I've never ordered delivery from here so this is from my experience going in person. The food is consistently good quality and there's a large variety of options. The service is excellent. All the staff are extremely polite, attentive, and efficient. Whether you're placing a big order or buying one bottle of beer they are always respectful and value your business.”

“Fast service, convenient location, and not too busy. Parking can be an issue. There are only a few available spaces and those are shared with a gas station and it's convenience store.”

“The food is very good and the staff is fast. Dining in is a different experience because homeless people ask for money while eating. I’ve even seen someone laying on the seats. Take out is better through the app”

“The Koshari! Will go back again for sure!”

“I got the okra+spinach w/ spicy goat. It was out of this world. The owner gave me a call a few minutes after I made the order to let me know they were out of fufu (pounded yams) and replaced it with yellow rice. I enjoyed the goat — it has a kick but not overwhelmingly spicy. The choice I made was excellent. I am most definitely ordering again and hope I can try the fufu next time.”

“Great food, great prices, great staff 😊”

“Good food, special drink called, BUTTER! Get ready it's lights out!!.. lol”

“Locals know this is *the* best Thai food in the neighborhood. For delivery especially, the food comes so fast it’s almost scary (did they know my order before I ordered it? How else could they get here so fast?). But the food is delicious and the portions are huge.

In person, Buffs is equally great. The vibes are fun and the service is super friendly and nice.”

“I had a very nice dinner with my friend and next time, we are bringing more friends to have fun here.”

“food is delicious. chopped chicken grinder. sooooo good.”

“I love all the cakes , rice pudding out of this world, flan all is really great the only complaint use better cups for rice pudding to carry out all the time I have accidents or only half of cup arrives”

“One of my all time favorite restaurants In Astoria. You can always find something delicious to eat.”

“Hands down the best stick of souvlaki out there. While I favor the pork, the chicken is delicious as well. The tzatziki is fantastic and the bread always fresh. This place never disappoints.”

“The best cookies in the world”

“Food was seasoned well and tasty.”

“Delicious Food Nice Ambiance Excellent Service”

“Best food and hosts! Meal was amazing! Drinks were beautiful! Atmosphere was great!”

“Excelente!!! Muy buena comida y muy buena atención. Gracias”

“Overall a great coffee place. I always get a mocha, and have 2 mini donuts with it one vanilla crème and one hazelnut. i've also tried 2 of the croissant sandwiches one with prosciutto and the turkey one and both were great- the croissants themselves are really soft and buttery. even though i live a mile away i still walk here every week”

“The best halal food in NYC. Rudy is the kindest person and pours his heart and soul into every plate of food. And don’t even get me started on his falafels!! So amazing. AND he has the best prices. Truly unbeatable.”

“❤️ everything there Foods amazing Services amazing Everything amazing”

“The birria quesadilla and the birria pizza were my favorites, perfect fusion between Italian and Mexican food, the staff was very friendly and kind. Also tried the fish tacos and were amazing . Had a great time at Sophistian.”

“Best pizza in new York! Everything is fresh and home made style. Love it. ..”

“Wolfhound was hosting CraicFest25 on April 28. It was a brilliant time. The performances was first rate. It is friendly atmosphere with good management.”

“Somehow even better than the reviews make it sound! We had just visited Peru a few weeks before visiting, so our expectations were sky high, and were massively exceeded! It's a proper local spot, too - no unnecessary faffing about with shiny decor or viral frills.

Unreal rotisserie chicken and pork fried rice - the chicken was possibly the best rotisserie I've ever had. The green sauce is is also just as good as people say - don't miss it. Plus, the Chicha Morada is authentic and delicious, a must order.”

“The Food ia delicious and the people are very nice and friendly 👍🏽✅♥️💫🙏I recommend 💫👍🏽”

“the pizza is excellent and I love their decor”

“Love this place!

I had such a great experience picking up takeout here! Simrika was so helpful with my special order and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. On my way out, I met Sue, the owner, and she was so incredibly kind. The whole team here is just wonderful! And a great crowd.People were having such a great time singing karaoke while I was picking up my food, the energy was amazing.
Not to mention, everything was delicious, I’m so happy to have this spot just a block away!”

“Very good food and service!!!”

“Last time he gave me a schemer when I asked for it “Heavy” this time they got it right ;) told him 3 strikes and your out. ;) always a great friendly staff coffee is too expensive but that’s a trend now so it is what it is :(”

“La buena comida y la excelente ubicación”

“Lovely atmosphere and delicious affordable Thai food in NYC”

“Love how friendly everyone here is. Also a great spot to grab a snack before I go to grocery shop. You will see a bunch of people gabbing away in Greek and it makes you feel right at home! Also has a Dunkins and parking is easy.”

“Great experience with prompt response and delivery to the medical team! You made nurses of Mount Sinai Hospital very happy! Thanks much! Alla Levin”

“My first time here!! Food was delicious and great portion, my lavender latte so rich!! It’s freezing today and I was able to go inside with my dog. Kinka ( I’m sorry if I spelled it wrong) so sweet and welcoming to me and my pup while we waited for our order.
Will be back!!”

“Muy buena atención y la comida excelente”

“If you want the best quality of ingredients, from the coffee beans, to the milk, and a great cup of coffee, then please do yourself a favor and stop by Elevanese Cafe. Since it first opened, the staff has always been friendly, the location is always clean, and it’s a perfect community-inclusive space. Now let’s get to the pastries: no one in Astoria and almost NYC compares to the pastries here. Truly, try anything you can while you can, especially if it’s seasonal. The owner is obviously very knowledgeable when it comes to how pastries should taste. Forever my favorite cafe in Astoria. Glad this place is only blocks away from my home.”

“Truly, a neighborhood gem! We love it 🥰”

“Really small cute place. I liked the hot chocolate. The French sandwich with Brie was really tiny for the price. The service was okay, they don't greet you when you come in. It's a small place and the counter is near the door, they see the customers walk in and still remain silent like you're not even there.”

“I bring my team here for post fight celebrations since it is located right around the corner from Melrose Ballroom. They can accommodate our group size, have great bar food, there’s Guinness on tap, pickles backs and friendly bartenders. What more can you ask for?!”

“Efficient service. Food was very good -- although a little messy to eat, for my preferences. I got the pita with the feta-stuffed beef. The tzatziki sauce was amazing. Really nice decor as well, and the music isn't too loud (for those who are overstimulated easily).

Eyeing the many traditional dessert options as I eat ... ☺️”

“One of the country’s best breweries right in Astoria AND next to a grocery store (grocery shopping always better after a couple drinks). The brewery has cozy indoor space, ample outdoor space, and the folks running the bar are kind and knowledgeable — nothing is pretentious. If you’re an aviation geek, sit outside, as it’s a prime spot for watching narrowbody departures from LGA.”

“We arrived a little too early before the restaurant opened, but the waitress let us in 30 mins early. We were hungry and wanted to order lamb chops. Alas, we had to order veal instead. And I asked for a tarama -my starting point for any Greek meal and lemon potatoes, another favorite of mine. The veal was tender and delicious and tarama along with warm bread was very tasty. Gregory's Corner is perhaps one the best small taverna in Astoria. What they lack in choices on the menu, they make up in service. The waitress who took our order was really on point and gave us solid recommendations. Gregory's is a nice cozy spot with a truly Mediterranean feel. The tables are well-spaced, and the decor is bright and breezy. Outside the restaurant is a little hard to make out up the street and is covered with too much foliage. The entrance is not clearly marked. Inside you can hear the waitress and owner arguing and speaking in Greek. It got a little intence at times, but was fun”

“The best souvlaki outside of Greece”

“We went in to grab a coffe and sandwich to go but stayed in because Anna was so sweet, helpful and made our experience a phenomenal one. ❤️❤️❤️ When in Astoria again, we will definitely stop in and enjoy another Latte, sandwich and pastry. Thanks again Anna”

“Loved this neighborhood bar. The bartender, the owner and the neighborhood people were all very welcoming. The feel of the space is cozy and yet spacious enough. They also have outdoor seating. I loved the decor and the wood paneling. The prices are good. The atmosphere is laid back and convivial. I will definitely be back.”

“delicious, great service #1 in NY”

“Awesome place filled with the coolest neighborhood people in NYC! SERIOUSLY, make a point of hitting this place! I didn’t realize I met the owner VERONICA until after! She was the sweetest woman and made me feel right at home!”

“I guess it was the creepy security guy lunch break because he was to involve watching in the room then securing the out side couldn’t focus on my kat getting eat 👅 because he was to creepy with it other then that I love the place the owner needs to be open to knew Ideas to get the place a bit popin like four entry in fifth one free discount price on Thursday and Sunday which is the slowest day free raffle give away every Friday Saturday night for free entry etc hope crowd pick up more I guess summer time people are doing other things but it’s popin in cold weather hope it’s more people when I go again”

“Tokyo Ya is a hiden gem best shushi all you can eat place. everything was cooked to perfection. Price is the cheapest AYCE. Quality of fish super fresh just melts on your mouth. went twice with no disappointment. server was awesome and food came right away. the electronic ordering is cool awesome. first time ever giving a review to a place I really like and did not disappointed me at all. 10/10 ( from an enthusiastic AYCE Gal)”

“Great atmosphere, drinks and food where amazing the staff was attentive and fast.”
