Authentic flavors and quality! Tried Avlee for the first time tonight and as a native Greek I will be back! The octopus and Moussaka were our favorites! The team working was so kind and were working hard!

Nice restaurant close to the F/G station, you can park on the street, and there are buses that go down Smith. The menu is confusing; they have a code for vegetarian options, but that includes fish roe and octopus. If you want to be sure, just ask about the item you're ordering. The lentil soup is a good hearty portion, and the spanakopita is excellent. Lots of filling, well mixed and prepared (I.e. they don't just toss big chunks of feta with frozen spinach and call it a day like some places do). They were out of the beers on the menu but the house wine was fine. It smelled a bit strange in the back but in the front it was fine, so probably not something that happens often. Relatedly? single stall restroom in the back. Fast and friendly service. Pay cash to avoid a 4% surcharge!

The gyro here is amazing the best I've had in NYC. It's my 3rd time having gyros at this establishment. I'm always very pleased. I have some dietary restrictions and they are so polite and accommodated to my needs.... make sure you ask for some lemon oil on the side.... Thank you guys ! I must try some other dishes on there menu!
I ordered a large Greek salad, 1 chk skewer and 1 falafel for pick up but not be going back to Avlee in spite of their friendly manner:My take out food was overpriced $48 (including 15 percent tip)and poor quality ingredients. The chicken skewer had a very small amount of meat, poor quality and pink inside. I presume rushed cooking for take out orders might be at fault here? I would have sent it back if we were eating in.The large size $20 Greek salad was wilted, over-chopped romaine that isn’t worth $20.Very disappointing but really friendly people.

One of my favorite restaurants! I have been a long time customer for at least 2 years. The owners and all the employees are very welcoming and kind. The restaruant is cozy and intimate. I have had the roasted wild salmon, shrimp (grilled and on skewers), spanakopita, fava fritters/falafel, 3 dips of my choosing which is usually tzatziki, hummus, and baba ghanoush, which comes with cucumber and triangular pita wedges, fakies/lentil soup, Greek fries, and baklava. The food and service are excellent. It is well worth a visit.
