“Food and service(Antonio) was tops. Price was exceptionally reasonable. Highly recommended. Porgy and stuffed tomatoes, both very well well made and super tasty. Desert(Galaktobouriko) on the house is not to be passed, even if your full,lol.“

“This is a hidden gem in the middle of Astoria. The restaurant is downstairs. I came here with a big group for a family style dinner. I highly recommend the gnocchi, the kielbasa style sausage and the broccoli rabe. The grilled whole Branzino was delicious. Oh and the blintzes with fruit jam was good too. It was very affordable and the service was great.“
“My date is Greek and so I wanted to take her to a Greek restaurant where we could dance. This is the place where we had stuffed grape leaves, combination platter with assorted potatoes, cheeses, yogurt and cucumbers. It was all delicious. We found it odd that ouzo was not on the drink menu but once we inquired, they brought us had ouzo and we drank it all night long. The live entertainment consisted of a band and four singers that sang all night long. The only regret we had was that there were very few folks around in the lounge to enjoy both the cuisine and the live entertainment whose musicians and singers were of the highest quality. My date was on the dance floor and demonstrated to me that she can dance the Greek dances that she had learned as a young lady. I promised her that I would dance with her like Telly Savalas someday. I recommend Jimbos to all who would not only enjoy the food but also enjoy the Greek entertainment of the highest quality. Please note that the lounge opens at 10:00 pm and reservations are recommended.“
“Just checked out Hamido Restaurant in Astoria, Queens, and man, was I blown away! The vibe? Cozy and welcoming. The service? Quick and friendly, making you feel right at home. But what really matters - the food. Went there with my french friend, they are known to be picky about the food - even he loved it a lot. Every bite was a perfect blend of spices and freshness, making it hard to pick a favorite dish. I liked branzino, babaganush was great. Calamari wouldn't be my first choice, but they were ok, even french fries were good. Also, check out the mint lemonade, it's amazing. Good place, recommend.“
