Restaurants in Astoria

“✨ Absolutely incredible! ✨
Everyone works with so much care and attention, and the whole experience was truly wonderful for me. The flavors were perfectly balanced, fresh, and simply outstanding. You can really feel the passion behind everything they do here. Highly recommended! I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“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.”

“Fresh seafood. The place to go for fresh whole grilled fish. Beautiful, modern restaurant. Local crowd. Surprised to find this spot in Astoria among old dated spots.”

“Amazing brunch this morning. Excellent and super friendly staff, food was amazing!🙌🏼👍👏”

“Great food. Why no bathroom?”

“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.”

“The backyard of the restaurant is great for a summer night out with their open roof. They need to expand the food offerings.”

“The food is always what stands out for me! The gochujang chicken sandwich and guava pancakes are my favorite. The drinks are kinda a hit or miss for me, but I still enjoy. Truly a fave cafe, always super busy though so keep that in mind.”

“My experience was mostly great The ambiance was nice Food was good but not very good The service was OK and here I felt a bit not satisfied where I saw one person doing everything ...”

“I was craving a Caesar salad salad and some french fries the other day and stopped by. They have a Cale Caesar salad salad that is genuinely delicious and they make a perfect French fry. The location was super cute and located in a great spot off of Ditmars and the staff was really attentive and friendly. We will definitely be going back”

“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.”

“Some of the best octopus I’ve had. The sides and pita are also fantastic. Huge portions but it’s seafood so you never feel too full. Fantastic meal and ambiance”

“Great Italian place!! The cacio e pepe, which they prepare in a cheese wheel in front of you, is both fun and delicious. We made a reservation in advance because the place gets quite busy, but definitely worth it!”

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

“Food was phenomenal, loved everything, one of the best places I’ve ever eaten at”

“Best Italian in Astoria. Best Pizza in Astoria. Best Pasta in Astoria.
My wife and I adore this spot. The owner and staff are the sweetest folks around. The ingredients are so purposeful and the attention to detail is magnificent. Surrounded by a team that truly celebrates its cuisine and service. We always leave smiling.
Hot Tip: order the Purple Rain cocktail.”

“Had such a great experience at this bar! The atmosphere was lively without being overwhelming — perfect for catching the game and hanging out with friends. The food and drinks were solid, but what really made the visit stand out was the service.

Jorge, our server, was absolutely fantastic. He was incredibly attentive, kind, and professional — which honestly feels rare these days. He always made sure we were comfortable and taken care of. You can tell he genuinely cares about giving customers a great experience, and that made all the difference.

If you’re looking for a fun spot to watch the game and want to be treated like a VIP, this place — and Jorge — won’t disappoint!”

“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.”

“Slammen yup food is great and your mouth waters with it all!”

“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!”

“I had my birthday here such a great place to have any celebration, the food was amazing the wait time for the food was not too long, and The staff was friendly and willing to help making it special and enjoyable. The price was too high though that was the only thing that was the issue. But I recommend this place”

“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.”

“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.”

“the ginger salad was delicious. I also order calamari tempura .. sushi and sashimi was so fresh and delicious. will go again ..”

“Stupid, d*** delicious. Will be back every chance possible. Well worth it.”

“QUALITY food in a comfortable environment. I’ve been 2x now and love it. The best risotto you will ever have. Broccoli rabe cooked to perfection. Pasta that holds up against the best.”

“We loved going there with my family. I loved the white pizza! The ricotta gives it an extra delicious flavor. Mr. Nick was also awesome! Always gave us a little extra things in our orders plus he delivered pizza that I was taking back home after hours. He didn’t have to but knew I really wanted to take some so he came to the rescue. Will definitely be going back.”

“Great atmosphere and service!!”

“Great service the staff is so nice ! Food was fantastic . This is our first time here !”

“Went here for a good hang. It was great!
Had their Brussel Sprouts, coconut shrimp, Sriracha chicken and Calamari. Would definitely be back. Drinks were really good too!”

“One of the oldest dinners in Astoria with good big portions, nice tasty food and the waters and waitress are really friendly and attentive to what customers want to eat.”

“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.”

“Ordered relatively late night takeout (9pm) and it was really good and really cheap. We got the pastrami and chicken cutlet with brown gravy sandwiches. Together it all cost less than twenty dollars. The cutlet was fantastic; the pastrami was not up to same caliber as Katz’s, Sarge’s, David’s, Pastrami Queen, etc. but was totally fine—and it only cost like 8 dollars (not to mention that we live a block from this place). Will definitely eat again”

“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.”

“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”

“This place has been here for over 30 years. They are quick to make your food in my opinion. The only downside is the amount of homeless and/or addicts who come and sometimes sleep on the seats or beg for change. The workers do their best, as long as they do not bother customers or harass customers they are left alone. Other than that I would still come.”

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

“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.”

“The kitchen clearly knows the real cooking of their heritage. Staff members offered excellent service. The dishes contain plentiful amounts of food. I appreciate dishes without unnecessary complications. This restaurant brightens my day.”

“Wednesday night’s jam session is the best around. The quality of the musicians who stop by and play a couple of tunes is first class!”

“Tasty dishes and quick service. Loved the mango sticky rice—highly recommend!
I used to stop by I like this local family restaurant atmosphere .Great portions”

“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.”

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

“Great food, great prices, great staff 😊”

“The people working here make you feel like you matter. You definitely come here for the service. You feel their commitment in both food preparation and customer attention. The place creates the right feeling and attracts fun clientele. I return to this restaurant gladly!”

“Everything is delicious! We love NY Bakery <3”

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

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

“Very flavorful Ice cream. Service in Ft Worth, TX was great. Made for enjoyable afternoon.”

“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.”

“This small coffee shop might be tucked away from the main street, but it’s absolutely worth finding. The coffee is rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care.
The staff is super friendly, welcoming, and always ready with a smile. Excellent place for coffee lovers!”

“I have used Nerwan for a couple of specialty cakes. Very talented, very accommodating, very delicious, and spot on service. This young entrepreneur went from working from home to a beautiful little location. It is a pleasure to contribute to her rise in this field, so give her a shot for your baking needs or just stop by and try her products you certainly will be pleasantly surprised and pleasantly satisfied.”

“Had our wedding cake done by Cake Studio NYC and cannot overstate how great the entire experience was. Easy to work with, incredibly responsive, and was able to accommodate the order with just a few days turnaround. The cake was beautiful and absolutely delicious beyond our wildest dreams. So grateful to Duana for helping to make our wedding day so memorable!”

“Family Corner is an amazing cozy family restaurant that my friends & fam have been going to for decades! It’s like “Cheers” where everyone knows each other’s name! The food is made fresh homemade with ♥️Love everyday! Their food is so tasty and the portions are generous. The staff & owner makes you feel part of their family. It’s intimate diner throw back to another time atmosphere is refreshing! The traditional Greek food is out of this world and very reasonably priced. And it has a thriving takeout/ delivery business. Neighborhood eateries like The Family Corner - is what makes our Astoria community great!!!”

“The best souvlaki outside of Greece”

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

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

“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.”

“Really enjoyed my visit here. The staff was friendly and had some nice recommendations. It's a nice little hang spot with the girls or if you just want to stop by and grab some coffee. Will be coming back to this spot.”

“Out of all the bars in the area, The Quays Pub has a certain vibe that can only be described as quaint and tranquil. There is something homely and calming about this place that makes you feel relaxed while you drink. The prices aren't bad and the staff make you feel like you have been a regular for years.”

“Great place in queens. Colombian and Peruvian cuisine. Friendly staff. Our waitress Tobias was extremely attentive.”

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

“This place was on my list of places I had to visit in NY, and it was well-worth it. Good location, GREAT food, and I really respect the owner and workers. They deserve all the praise.”

“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.”

“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!!!!!”

“Every dish I tried here hit the perfect note. The establishment feels homey yet perfectly maintained. The personnel offered extraordinary help. The menu features genuinely excellent items. I found everything here remarkable!”

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

“I usually go there right when they open so I can be 10 minutes late to work with a delicious coffee!
The coffees are phenomenal, the baristas are really lovely and warm people, and the pastries are EVERYTHING. I had a garlic scone today that rocked my world.

Love this place!”

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

“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”

“Quick, smooth, and seriously well-crafted. Grabbed a to-go cup from Kinship in Astoria and it hit every note—bold, balanced, and finished with that perfect crema. You can tell the barista knows their stuff—dialed-in shot, milk steamed just right. It’s the kind of cup that makes you pause mid-walk just to appreciate it. Definitely not your average to-go coffee. Respect to the team behind the bar.”

“Muy buena atención y la comida excelente”

“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”

“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?!”

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

“Reasonably priced with great options and nice service ^_^”

“Amazing place. So invited. You walk in and it feels like family. The staff, especially the owner, are all wonderful. I go there with my 1 year old daughter and always get the vegan Spinach pie. OMG sooooo freaking good. I can eat so many of them but I restrict myself to one. Even my daughter loves it. She gets so happy when we stroll on into the cafe because she knows what that means. I hope to try other items but just can’t let go of that spinach pie. Ugh so good lol”

“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.”

“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 ... ☺️”

“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”

“I had my birthday here such a great place to have any celebration, the food was amazing the wait time for the food was not too long, and The staff was friendly and willing to help making it special and enjoyable. The price was too high though that was the only thing that was the issue. But I recommend this place”

“Stupid, d*** delicious. Will be back every chance possible. Well worth it.”

“Price and food is very good ? ?”

“Nick is a Prince. I am a very good cook, but I always take his advice. Lobsters to die for.”

“Food, ambiance, drinks this is one of the best restaurants in queens hands down. We haves tried almost everything in the menu and every time we come there’s something new to try. The service is outstanding. Little jewel in Astoria. Mexican l/Peruvian fusion it’s amazing”

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

“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!

“Tokyo Ya is a hiden gem best shushi all you can eat place. everything was cooked to perfection. Price is the cheapest AYCE.
