“I think this is the best gyro I’ve ever had in my whole life. I wish i was joking, because now I’ll be walking in their doors every week. The meat was so tender and juicy and the pita was so soft and light, the veggies fresh and the WINGS!!!! So tasty. The proof is in the pictures. The employees were so sweet and attentive and the atmosphere is so nice. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to something nice ?“
“100/100.The food at this restaurant is another level.I have never had fish as good as here. It's just that not even in Spain.Everything was very good.The only drawback I found was the music. It was too high and in the end it was annoying.But otherwise, everything was perfect.They have high chairs.“
“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.“
“I was eying this place ever since moving into the neighborhood and I finally visited when family came into town. The place held up to my expectations I can see why it is always busy. The staff is friendly, we did not wait for a table, and everything was served in good time. For food we did steak, salmon, lemon potatoes, and calamari, everything was so so good and the portions were big. I will definitely be coming back“
“Had a 'dinner' of appetizers here with the family. Something for everyone-from the vegan, the vegetarian, to the carnivores. We enjoyed the fava beans dish, loved the liver and sweet reads, and the meatballs. Atmosphere was quiet, and the spot is small, so for a larger group-we we're 5 people, I'd make a reservation. Food came out super fast, and the staff was very friendly. Next time we will try the dishes.“
“The venue is beautifully done. All the staff was attentive and pleasant. We had greek sausage, manouri wrapped in phyllo with honey& sesame seeds to start. The swordfish and mignon kebabs were perfect!!! And the yogurt with vissino(sour cherry) spoon sweets was the perfect way to end the meal. :-)“
“Had a gathering today w approx 30 family and friends, the food from start to finish was beyond SUPERB, they truly deserve Zagat rating. The fried calamari was better than Greece stated by my sister in law who was there in September, antipasto, appetizers, fish, chicken kabob on skewers were tremendous we couldn't get enough we were licking our fingers. I personally would rate them at 10, the owner Jenny is a gem. Will be back to try their grilled Octopus.Parking: Private parking lot in back of building, not a long walk if you know how to park at least 20 cars.“
“Excellent Greek restaurant. Wonderful atmosphere. Very attentive service by all staff. Food is delicious and healthy. We had Moussaka and chicken souvlaki both plentiful and very tasty. The cappuccino was also excellent, made with Greek coffee, but decaf is also available. The dessert menu is very creative but we will have to return again to try it. A great dining experience.“
“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!!!“
“This local spot is amazing!!! Excellent service. Food is great - I highly recommend to have the chicken souvlaki platter. Portions are very filling. You can sit inside or take out and the guys are very welcoming. The sandwiches are also taste!!“
“Amazing staff and amazing food! I often place large lunch orders for my team and they always take care of us. Not only is their food incredible (that falafel souvlaki HITS every time), the chef and management team are so kind to us-- we are so lucky to have developed a relationship with these wonderful people.“
“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.“
“The food was excellent, Greek, the souvlaki were not exactly on a stick but had a very Greek taste. I liked it, similar to in Europe. The prices are higher, which I found surprising, that they call chicken gyros a kebab. I wonder how the Greeks feel about it, as it seems strange to me too.“
“THE FOOD THERE WAS CHEFS KISS!!! The French fries there was soooo good, the best fries I ever had in my life! The pita bread and the dip was the best combination. For some reason the soda there was, also the best sprite I ever had! I am definitely coming back here with my family again!“
“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.“
“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“
“Had a lovely breakfast this morning. Had the egg white, spinach, feta n tomato wrap. It was beautifully prepared as was everyone else's meal. Service was on point from Heidi and she was a breath of fresh air. This restaurant has been around for so many years and I'm happy to report it gets better with age. BTW the owner is a delight and greets you with a genuine smile. Will definitely be back.“
“One more good Greek breakfast spot at a small "coffee " shop under the El at Ditmars Blvd. Around the corner from a Dunkin' on 23rd Avenue. Ordered a decent sized spanikopita. When no bougatsa was available cause it wasn't ready yet the owner recommended portokalopita. Then on impulse I bought a Greek sesame bread ring. The spanikopita was good. The portokalopita which I never tasted in my life was very good. It wasn't as "orangey " in taste as I thought it would be. The portokalopita was like a cross between galaktoboureko and baklava with citrus being the dominant flavor. The sesame bread ring which is called Koulouria Thessalonikis is like a bagel with feta inside the ring. This shop is worth checking out and has been a neighborhood staple for 26 years.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Second time having the pleasure of dining with girls (birthday celebration) at Telly's in Port Chester. One gal in our party knew of Telly's other location. Both times, awesome service, delicious appetizers and cocktails. We ordered 3 different shared appetizers, then 4 different main course options and shared. Everything was fresh and delicious. Our waiter was knowledgeable and gracious. We will definitely return again. Thank you Telly's Taverna!“
“I stopped here today for lunch right when they opened at 1130a. I appreciate how punctual they were with opening !! Right upon entering, the staff was very friendly. Very welcoming. Service was smooth, i received my food in a timely manner. Staff was very helpful with suggestions. I had the grilled octopus for my starter and the seafood linguine for my main. I have been craving octopus and they didn’t disappoint!!! The food was superb. The atmosphere is divine. I will definitely be returning and I for sure recommend this venue.“
“This place is amazing. The service was quick, the staff was warm and friendly. The restaurant was super clean. I went on a rainy day and ordered their brown sugar bubble tea! It was well worth it; as you can see from the photos. If you are in Yonkers definitely come visit this place.“
“Some of the best greek food I've ever had in my life!!! On top of that, definitely best customer service I've ever experienced. Some of the nicest people I've ever been served by!!!! Would 100% recommend this place and will definitely be going back frequently from now on! Thank you guys!!! - Jason G“
“It's like family how the owner and employees treat the customersFresh food always so many choicesThe sweet tooth selection is incredibleFresh sea moss can be found as wellHey don't talk my word just stop and enjoy everything I do when I visit. Thank for letting share“
“Great food. The Plain Tart yogurt is second to none. You can't find that kind of quality tart yogurt anywhere else. I literally came from work in the Bronx straight to Mamaroneck to pick up a Quart of the Plain Tart. They make it in-house, and its consistently a top quality product. I would highly recommend Esy Kafe.“
“While researching places to visit, I noted a neighborly quality about the @souvlakilady in her interviews online. This observation proved to be more true than I anticipated.As I caught a glimpse of her cart parked alongside the road, my mouth began to water at the prospect of my first taste of streetside souvlaki. Unfortunately, my excitement quickly dwindled when I realized she only accepted cash as payment.While standing in utter defeat, I was sincerely touched when she decided to disregard my lack of cash and provide me a skewer at no cost. Let me tell you...it was sublime! Prior to that moment, I couldn't imagine a simple stick of pork could improve much beyond what I make at home, but I was wrong.So grateful for my first experience with Greek generosity and hospitality - ευχαριστώ, @souvlakilady!“
“We visiting Port Washington all the time,but first time we eat in this place.The restaurant have amazing atmosphereI loved the solid background music too.Pita and hummus for the beginning!For appetizer I ordered calamari,the amount they served was like an entree for me.Well made! Crab cakes also huge comes with salad. The grilled Bronzino with capers was awesome. My son wish to have lobster mac and cheese but there was not on the menu. They made it for him anyway..The chicken really tender and delicious.My lobster (Thank you for broiling) I finished from the top to the bottom. I don’t wanna forget to mention the grill veggie on the side carrot,brussels sprout and the zucchini with steak fries a great combo.Extra stars, my puppy was able to come inside with us!“
“The food was delicious. The absolute best. I initially went there for my son to get a quick bite to eat. I tried a little of his food. And had to go back to get the entire family dinner from there. It was our 1st time there. I'm from Brooklyn and is willing to go back just for the food and great customer service. 10 out of 10 we'll be back again!!!!“

From intricately decorated cakes to melt-in-your-mouth pastries, every bite is a taste of perfection.

“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.“
“Every Friday after work before getting on the train at 71st/Continental Avenue in Forest Hills,I pick up a chicken gyro for myself and a lamb gyro for my husband. King Souvlaki makes the absolute best pita gyros I have ever had!!! My husband first tried them in Astoria; but, we are thrilled to have the Greek on the Street food Carr in Forest Hills near where we live. Also, shout out the awesome lady who gave me extra pita bread to go with side of tzatziki sauce. This is fabulous stuff!!!“
“Must visit! Want authentic, phenomenal food at reasonable prices? This place it is. Upscale food, fantastic flavors, and great friendly service.I was so impressed, this was my first time and we stumbled upon it. The quality of food for the price was outstanding. It’s an intimate spot that’s decorated beautifully. The family next to us was their third time there in a month.The owner Adan, is very warm and welcoming. He’s been doing this for over a decade and has lived in Greece and was taught 1:1 by grandmother.We had two appetizers, sangria, vegetarian moussaka and chicken gyro sandwich. Of course we went home with baklava. Will be returning.Dietary restrictions: There were vegetarian options.“
