KinoMarch 20, 2017Agnanti Meze is a delicious Greek restaurant next to Astoria Park. It is on par with Taverna Kyclades with a much shorter wait. The Grilled Octopus, Greek Salad, & the olive oil uses were excellent.
Kate WillskyJuly 8, 2018Order a lot so you can try a bit of everything. The eggplant spread and tzatziki are bomb, the pita is 💯, good Greek salad and spanikopita. Wonderful service and great selection of Greek wines.
George SpartanSeptember 2, 2016This is a classic Greek taverna is the only restaurant by Astoria park & won't disappoint. Classic Hellenic Peloponnesian Arcadian app's & dishes you won't find anywhere else. The finest ingredients!
Russell HirschornDecember 5, 2016At the edge of Astoria park, the best greek in NYC. Shrimp Khadafi, Saganaki, Moussaka, Branzino and Tzaziki. Pita and house white. Happy stomach. Not much else on the neighborhood, worth the trip.- You can't leave this place without having the Moussaka. It's by far the best I've ever had, and I've had a lot. The grilled-stuffed calamari is also amazingly delicious. Plus its next to Astoria Park!
Spiro KasimisAugust 11, 2019Brazino, red snapper, octopus, saganaki. Basically everything is delicious! Love the outdoor seating in the spring/summer.
Zach RubenfeldMarch 22, 2013Stuffed calamari is great to start with. House wine is exceptional. Any main course is good to order. Pork chops are out of this world. Nice, cozy atmosphere that makes you feel like you're in a home.
Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014Agnanti, right off Astoria Park, is not your typical hummus-and-lamb Greek restaurant: The authentic menu is made up mostly of enough ys and ks to let you know it's the real deal. Read more
One of the gems in Astoria. The Trahana soup is delicious, the Kolokythokeftedes are a must try and so is the Ntakos salad.
refinery29August 3, 2014Start with appetizers, and then move on to some "Tastes of Constantinople," and wash it all down with plenty of wine. Standout dish: Saganaki (cheese baked in phyllo dough). Read more- Paul K.March 24, 2013It was awesome. Probablly some of the best seafood I've ever had (the octopus was perfect). The meat was all cooked nice, the french fries were great, the salad great, the waitress was so nice too
EllenAugust 8, 2014Everything I've had is delicious! I just wish they would bring back the Greek yogurt with cherries for the complimentary dessert instead of the tasteless walnut cake. (Ok, only thing not delish)
Serious EatsAugust 6, 2013Casual Greek spot that's a favorite with the locals. Vegetarian-friendly bites like zucchini fritters are as good as the fish.
Patrick HealyAugust 8, 2014I like thoughts place a lot. Good food, good service, and authentic. And the outdoor seating and view of the park are killer.
Rory ParnessJuly 31, 2016Sit outside and enjoy the dolmades and swordfish. Note- they request tips to be paid in cash
- The Taste SheriffSeptember 24, 2014Loud and unpretentious. Get the fried veggies, octopus, horiatiki, and you have enough food for 3 people. Portions are HUGE.
Erica SAugust 26, 2014So nice to sit outside! Try the yogurt kebab or moussaka... They also have complementary dessert- JesJuly 1, 2011Everything we had was delicious! We had the grilled vegetable appetizer, tomato & her croquettes and the beefteki. Plus they gave us a complimentary yogurt dessert!

Stefanie F.November 30, 2012The food is great, its as if you're Greek friends grandmother cooked for you. Try the stuffed peppers or pastitcio.
