zisis petrouAugust 28, 2017The grilled octopus, grilled calamari, and the Mediterranean dorata were amazing!!
Possibly the best Greek restaurant in Astoria, an area known for it's large Greek population. Crowded every night, be prepared to wait. If you want to have a conversation eat outside, loud inside.
Dustin LeeJune 24, 2019Maybe they had an off night but was disappointed that both the Grilled Octopus and Grilled Branzino are way overcooked. The free galaktoboureko is a nice way to end the meal though
Brian HOctober 27, 2013Top 5 NYC restaurants, top Greek and seafood place. The longer the wait, the better the food.
Marc SchneebergerJanuary 3, 2018Great seafood and greek food. I would basically say try everything!!!
Ele RosaniaApril 21, 2013Great food! Try the chicken kebab and the grilled octopus. Tips are cash only
Jo-Ann Malanga RutherfordSeptember 12, 2017Delicious Greek salad & grilled shrimp & lamb. Everything was very good.
Greek salad really good. Ooh the people next to us just ordered a whole fried fish and it looks yummy!
M MFebruary 22, 2011Great peasant salad & tzatziki. Good lamb chops. I don't recommend the shrimp stuffed with crab meat and neither did the lady sitting next to me.
This place is crazily popular for a reason. Grilled seafood is simple and awsome.
Milena LjumovicApril 17, 2015Grilled octopus, craba and calmari, everything is delicious, but the ambience....
- Nat Chan 🚣🇺🇸🗽January 9, 2012Cold antipasto with skordalia, taramasalata and tzatziki is amazing. Also must order the grilled calamari!
Everything is amazing here, even Andrew!!! My favorite is the grilled chicken, broiled filet of sol, tzatziki w/pita, saganaki & Greek salad! Yum!!!
Kelly AnnDecember 21, 2011Delicious salmon and stuffed shrimp, great prices, and a yummy complimentary. Best seafood in Queens.
AllisonOctober 9, 2011You will wait forever but it will all be worth it. Grilled octopus was amazing and best tzasiki ever!
Van SeditaJanuary 16, 2013Free drinks while we waited, free desert and probably the best Greek food in Astoria.
Bia MattosNovember 3, 2012This place have huge portions! Consider splitting a dish. Great quality and good service.
Regina MaAugust 28, 2009get the Greek salad-- freshest ingredients ever. the house white white is pretty good. skip the sole and go for the stuffed crab filet. yum. and the baby shark is sooo delicious
Jenny LinAugust 31, 2014Saganaki + grilled octopus. 2 hour wait on a Saturday night. Free wine while in line #askandyoushallreceive 👌
Saarim ZamanDecember 30, 2016Come here with a squad so that you can try a bunch of different things!
grill calamari and sweet potato are delicious I’m Turkish and I love Turkish raki the fact is Greek raksh almost the same as Turkish rakish. Off course Turkish rakish is better than Oyzo but I loveit
Andy WalkerSeptember 10, 2011Worth the hour and a half wait? Definitely! The food was amazing and the portions were huge.
Vanessa RuedaNovember 22, 2014everybody is crazy about this place but I don't get it. Yes is fresh but is greasy and the salad chunks are humongous. I also did not liked the ambiance. the wait is not worthy. not for me.
Baked clams, grilled calamari, octopus, and shrimp---- my ultimate favorite
Gianna CanevariSeptember 24, 2013Shrimp stuffed with crab and lemon potatoes. I died and went to Greek heaven.
Octopus, taramasalata, and galaktouberko are required. The rest is up to you.
