    Everything I ordered was great. Maria was so friendly and was there to help us whenever. The food has a very clean and natural feel to it. The grilled octopus and shrimps are great.

    We found the same tastes we could only have in Greece! Very good service with extremely probably the most reasonable prices in NY. Dont waste your time at the overvalued “best Greek Tavernas” of NYC.

    Do me a personal favor and visit this restaurant if you are ever in Astoria. I met a lovely Greek woman named Maria. She and her husband run the place with an amazing family feel. Great Food!

    Can't wait to go back! Maria and her family are excellent hosts. Everything we tried was delicious, but don't miss the saganaki! Make a reservation if you can.

    Amazing service (Ernest ++). Equally good food (Cyprus salad and Red snapper). Note they cook the fish very slowly but worth the wait

    Definitely try the chicken souvlaki and Kaftra but make sure you don't forget the red house wine because it is the best in Astoria.
