“I had the best time at my teacher's retirement party cause I got to see my friend, teacher, meet his family, give great speeches, and have fun. Plus, I they were showing pictures of all of us in his class plus photos of my teacher helping and teaching kids, and it was the best night of my life. So book any parties and birthdays to this restaurant and have a great time. Also, remember to bring kids cause it helps to care for friends and families with love, kindness, and friendship.Wheelchair accessibility: I did see 2 people in wheelchairs because it helps to care for people with disabilities no matter especially the elderly as well!!!“
“I was running errands around the area and decided to try this place out. I had the lunch special which was a pita sandwich with a side of fries and a drink. I got the pork souvlaki which had good potential but could've been a little more flavorful though cooked well otherwise. Service was friendly and quick. It has an open kitchen concept, which is always nice to see and lots of seating.“
“My absolute favorite Greek restaurant in the USA, let alone Astoria. The food in Athens, Greece is nothing compared to Taverna Kyclades! Fresh fish, delicious salads, cheeses, octopus, taramousalata, are yummy! Every time we go back to NYC, we stop in.“
“Having lived in Astoria almost 20 years, I've had the pleasure of dining on delicious Greek cuisine, and Taste of Gyro is one of, if not the best Greek food I've tasted. The chicken souvlaki platter has THE MOST flavorful, juicy chicken with incredible fries (that are spiced and cooked to perfection). The Branzini special I had was served with an incredible tomato based sauce that was unlike any I've tasted and out of this world delicious. Be sure to try the zucchini fritters that are fresh, succulent, and served with astounding tzatziki.Add to this, the most down to earth, friendly, and welcoming staff in a neat, clean, and quiet mom and pop environment, and you've got a place that keeps me coming back. It's just a 5 minute walk off of Ditmars and Steinway, on a quiet residential neighborhood and worth the trip. Do yourself a favor, and delight in the taste sensations they provide, and support hard working folks who put their heart and soul into everything that comes out of the kitchen.“
“Incredibly homey service and atmosphere!! Everything was delicious and very fresh. The dips and platters were absolutely unforgettable, vibrant flavors and amazing balance in taste — not a single complaint first time going! (those lemon potatoes are nothing less than mind blowing) Everything tasted completely authentic and don’t skip on the Greek hot coffee, made over sand and very rich tasting. The deserts also were an extremely satisfying end to a meal, being very rich and delectable. Service was wonderful, giving all customers a friendly and comforting welcome, making everything feel natural and inviting.“
“This restaurant is a MUST!!! Forget Taverna Kyclades. This Greek restaurant has an amazing menu. The food has been consistently delicious. The service has seriously been the best of any restaurant I’ve gone to. You feel like family after just one visit. ❤️“
“The service and food are always a hit!! I have been coming here for a few years, and Herb and Olive attracts the best customers! I end up having the friendliest conversations with such beautiful people! The salmon with rice and spinach is my favorite!Thank you!!!“
“Have Been Eating here with my boyfriend and friends for a very long time and we are absolutely obsessed with the cuisine at this restaurant. The chef is so personable and friendly he always greets us. I can say that this is definitely authentic Greek food they have the best lobster bisque soup, baklava ,fried calamari, Bronzino and lamb chops. Everything on the menu is absolutely delicious and divine I highly recommend you book a reservation before going because they are always busy. But worth the wait. The entire way t“
“My absolute favorite Greek restaurant! They have several locations, but I like the one in Bayside the best because I find it's not as crowded as the other ones. The parking here can be a little tough but there is a municipal parking lot about 3 short blocks away and you can also take public transportation there, it is about a block away from the Bayside Long Island Railroad station. Try their steak its my favorite, but I also recommend the octopus, and their fish is always fresh and delicious, but you really can't go wrong with anything you get here. This place is always super clean, the service is always great and they pour a great drink. Now, this is an edited review from my original because i just had to mention Arif, who is the general manager. When you meet Arif you will understand why this place is so great. The guy makes you feel like family and makes sure you have a top-notch experience. Well done, Arif. What else can you ask for! My advice to you is stop reading this review and get your a** over there! Enjoy!!Parking: There is a municipal parking lot about 3 blocks away“
“This is my first time going to RoRo gyro. I ordered the RoRo hero with everything on it. It was so delicious. Also, the hero was put together by someone who cares about what they're doing, not slapped together by someone taking their anger out on it. I highly recommend this place! PS: I didn't go inside so idk anything about the atmosphere.“
“Honestly super duper impressed with the quality of food & service we received. At work we will have a catered lunch maybe once a month and it is not easy to coordinate & get great food for an office of 50+ people. But they really got it right! Food came hot, on time, and they very generously provided serving utensils, plates & cutlery. I heard they even called to make sure everything was good which I think is the first of all the resturaunts we had catered. Food: we got the greek salad, rice, lemon potatoes, chicken souvlaki, gyro, falafel, tzatziki & falafel. Everything was super fresh & delish. -- salad had big chunks of feta & some grape leaves. I do wish the salad dressing had more acid(?) because the meal was a bit heavier but overall super fresh!! -- rice to me was a little soggy but some coworkers said they liked the rice and it was super fluffy for them so i think its more about personal prefernce. -- lemon potatoes has a great lemon flavor and was not overcooked. Lemon potatoes are one of my favorite things and this definitely made the list of some of the best. -- chicken came in big chonks and was a pretty moist; and considering i took one of the top pieces from the giant tray for 50 people and it was better than i expected. Only thing is that it felt a little bland? Bit it had great sear and was plentiful! -- gyro was not too salty which is a huge deciding factor me if a greek place is good! It was NOT undercooked in any way but i personally like the burnt bits so i took some leftovers home and airfried it and it was amaaazing. -- falafel was much bigger than i expected - like a golfball? Maybe bigger? Outside was crunchy and the inside still moist and was probs the best falafel i had in monthss. I personally prefer falafel thats not as coarse but again thats a personal prefernce and did not stop me from having a bunch. -- the tzatziki was thiccc like hard to scoop thick. It was honestly amazing! We got some extra lemons so i did thin mine out a bit and i think that helped add a lot of brightness to the meal. Overall- definitely think it will be made part of the rotation and I will definitely consider ordering on my own for lunch to try some of their other menu items“
“Service is a little slow, but outside of Astoria Plaka is a well-managed family restaurant with good food. We ordered chicken noodle soup, spinach pie, and a chicken souvlaki platter with lemon potatoes. You can't go wrong with that. Perhaps we might come back?“
“Great food! Excellent service! My husband and I felt like we were visiting dear family and friends. We wanted to try everything on the menu; so we order too many things. Everything we ordered was satisfyingly tasty . Thanks Jack for treating us like family and taking good care of us!“
“Emily was our server and she was beyond excellent! She gave us time and had suggestions. It felt like we knew her after only a few minutes. We started with a dozen oysters then We had the porterhouse for two and shelled king crab legsMelt in your mouth, eye rolling delicious!Parking: There was no parking. Valet was ideal“
“This is a small little diner in Astoria, New York. great lunches salad and lunch specials. I've eaten here numerous. This is a place that I always call my go to place for lunch if you have the opportunity. Stop in large portions, good food.“
“Had a birthday celebration for a party of 8. The reservation, table and service was excellent. Highly recommend it. Be prepared to order the minute your waiter comes by as it gets quite busy and it may take a while to get your entrees.Vegetarian options: Grilled tomatoes are delicious“
“Wow I’m so excited that I found out Spartans reopened for breakfast ?, I brought my kids to breakfast and I don’t regret it . They have Belgium waffles my favorite ? ❤️? . I love their coffee it’s so good. My daughter loved their fresh muffins which are to die for. This is going to be the spot from now on for breakfast ???. Great customer service gentlemen in front was nice and respectful food was delish and prices were great ?“
“Amazing place. Definitely a Greek touch, even to the Italian dishes. Their avgolemono soup is amazing. Pizza is excellent, too. Ingredients are fresh. Staff is lovely and the service/ambiance are very welcoming and quick paced. Would recommend to anyone.“
“The restaurant is in a low traffic area and seems to do decent with takeout. I haven't seen anyone sit down yet each time I went. Restaurant looks pretty clean and full of space. The folk working here are pretty nice. Portion sizes are either lunch or dinner size for your platters. Even the lunch size is a good size portion enough for one person. The dinner size is enough for two people. When we ordered the lunch size for gyro, we had a choice of either a salad or a soup for the first side which is separate from the gyro and there is a second side that goes along with the gyro, so you can pick one of the following fries, rice, lemon potatoes or grilled vegetables. The container is filled about 80% full with grilled pita.When we ordered the dinner size for gyro, its the same as lunch but you can pick two of the sides that go along the gyro. This is effectively filling your container all the way to the top at 100% filled with grilled pita. Recently it appears they increased this to up to three sides, but I imagine they will just reduce the portion size of each side if you pick three but would still fill the container full.The Greek salad is good and the soups we tried were also good. The gyros and chicken souvlaki were on point.“
“I had to take my cat to the vet in the area and stopped by Greek Xpress twice and the blonde woman with glasses who works there or maybe owns the place is so kind and caring and provides great service. I also love all the gluten free options.“
“Love this place!!!!!!! I had Jimmy and his crew cater a major party we had with over 75 people and their stuff was a hit. Their spinach and cheese pies were amazing and the various desserts they catered were beyond delicious. Jimmy was awesome to deal with, I told him how many people we were having, he helped me with my order to make sure we had enough for everyone and not one thing was left over. Love dealing with people who do the right thing.“

“What a pleasant surprise to find this place in Port Washington. The restaurant is very classy. Great ambiance. Staff is super professional and courteous, and the food did not disappoint. Ordered the lobster a la carte, and the 3 course prix fix dinner which is a great deal for $39. The lobster was perfect. I ordered the branzino, mildly seasoned but extremely tasty with rice and spinach. I also had a glass of Pinot. very smooth. This location seems to have a second floor balcony for private parties. We will most likely be coming back. It's is so worth it for a day trip.“
“I’ve gone here a few times with family for birthday celebrations; it’s my sister in law’s fave place for a gathering. The staff is very attentive and friendly, you get great service. The food is delicious - omg the zucchini chips, their dip (hummus and tzatziki sauce) and pita bread platter, calamari and sauce, their grilled shrimp, veggies, even salad is amazing! The whole family and children tend to eat very well when we come here! Would highly recommend. They even had a live jazz singer with band playing this past Saturday when we went. Overall great ambiance, esp for the family.“
“Great place to eat! Nice setting and accommodating staff. Never really tried anything here that I didn't enjoy. The variety of seafood appetizers are always good. We usually lean towards their fish entrees because they're very good, as well. The side dishes, particularly the spinach rice, are tasty too. Can't go wrong if you're looking for a nice night out to dine.“
“Been going here since i was alittle baby . Their traditional food is amazing and must try. They have my favorite desert ever there called galatoubodiko. Its like a thick flan with philo dough and hkney and cinnamon syrupt on it. My.other favorites are aphadite greek salad, spinakopita and avolemeno soup.“
“Best place to eat home style Greek food, we go to this place at least 2 to 3 times a week to enjoy the traditional Greek food. Daily specials change every day which is great if you eat out for lunch on a daily. Hands down the best Branzino and Calamari in Astoria.“
“Of all the Greek restaurants I've ever eaten, this was the one that suited my taste the best. It wasn't too salty or spicy, but it had enough flavor of Greek food. The interior was luxurious and the service was very good. A perfect place to have dinner with good people.“
“The food is incredibly amazing. Hand made homemde dishes are all excellent. The prices and portions are also great. Everything was awesome. The servers and atmosphere are also inviting. The coffee and deserts were incredibly delicious as well. We had several different ones all so yummy. Thank you Dina and Pete and the servers. 5 stars or more....❤❤❤“
“I stumbled upon this hidden gem, right next to Manhasset Movies, on a pouring rainy day. I ordered their Bowl and it was AMAZING! All the ingredient was soooo FRESH! And the portion was so generous! Atmosphere of the restaurant is very warm, CLEAN, and welcoming. Staff is very friendly and courteous. This is a very cute cozy spot serving HONEST food to customers. I will definitely come back here and bring my friends as well. WE NEED MORE RESTAURANTS LIKE THIS IN OUR WORLD.“
“First time here this place was amazing very authentic felt right at home wish they had one in New JerseySeemed to be a greek family running this place and you can definitely tell the difference they take pride in what they are sellingPrice was very fairI recommend eating beee and will come back“
“I absolutely love this place! It has become one of my favorite spots to relax and enjoy myself. Their salmon dish is absolutely superb, with perfectly cooked fish served on a bed of flavorful rice. The sweet-and-sour sauce that accompanies it is simply divine. And to make it even better, their white sauce is the perfect addition. The service here is top-notch, with friendly staff who always go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. I usually pick up my order from their convenient location on Third Avenue, and it's great that there's a Starbucks just across the street where I can grab a coffee to complete my meal.“
“I went to celebrate my birthday with my family and friends and we all couldn't be happier with the food that we order but specially the personalized service. We felt so welcomed and appreciated that even before we were done, we were planning to go back. 1000/10!!!!“
