Marc SchneebergerJanuary 3, 2018Great seafood and greek food. I would basically say try everything!!!
all the whole fishes are amazing as is the grilled shrimp, and lemon potatoes and on and on
One of the best Authentic Greek restaurants in NYC. Long wait queues FYI
Denise DavilaJuly 2, 2011What can I say that everyone else didn't already? Fantastic food, reasonably priced. By some odd miracle we showed up at 5:15 on a Friday night and had NO wait!
Regina BootJuly 7, 2015Call ahead and get your order to go! Delicious food but the line to get a table is way too long!!!
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
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
Jenny LinAugust 31, 2014Saganaki + grilled octopus. 2 hour wait on a Saturday night. Free wine while in line #askandyoushallreceive 👌
Jennifer JonesFebruary 23, 2013Get there early or put your name on the list before you park. Everything on the menu is amazing
Gianna CanevariSeptember 24, 2013Shrimp stuffed with crab and lemon potatoes. I died and went to Greek heaven.
Greek salad really good. Ooh the people next to us just ordered a whole fried fish and it looks yummy!
Ele RosaniaApril 21, 2013Great food! Try the chicken kebab and the grilled octopus. Tips are cash only
Milena LjumovicApril 17, 2015Grilled octopus, craba and calmari, everything is delicious, but the ambience....
Tom WolfsteinAugust 1, 2015The food is excellent. But the inside is super noisy with kitchen noises and not fun. Sit outside.
Van SeditaJanuary 16, 2013Free drinks while we waited, free desert and probably the best Greek food in Astoria.
Brian HOctober 27, 2013Top 5 NYC restaurants, top Greek and seafood place. The longer the wait, the better the food.
Kelly AnnDecember 21, 2011Delicious salmon and stuffed shrimp, great prices, and a yummy complimentary. Best seafood in Queens.
This place is crazily popular for a reason. Grilled seafood is simple and awsome.
JoAnne GonzalezMarch 26, 2016I've tried to get into this place twice. There are lines of people outside. Make reservations!
Saarim ZamanDecember 30, 2016Come here with a squad so that you can try a bunch of different things!
Everything is amazing here, even Andrew!!! My favorite is the grilled chicken, broiled filet of sol, tzatziki w/pita, saganaki & Greek salad! Yum!!!
- Nat Chan 🚣🇺🇸🗽January 9, 2012Cold antipasto with skordalia, taramasalata and tzatziki is amazing. Also must order the grilled calamari!
Octopus, taramasalata, and galaktouberko are required. The rest is up to you.
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
Baked clams, grilled calamari, octopus, and shrimp---- my ultimate favorite
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.
