“Love this spot- brought my parents who were visiting from out of town. Even in January they still find a way to find the most ripe and flavorful tomatoes. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared and served. Family owned and operated - nothing more iconically Astorian :)“

“Five of us had a party on Saturday evening. The tavern was quite busy which reflected on service (our waiter wasn't present all the time). But I can understand that.
The space itself doesn't look like a typical Greek tavern, but high ceiling, good furniture and an appropriate lighting are definitely worth mentioning.
The food is good, but some portions are too small. For example, Greek salad is very tasty, but the portion is way too small. The same goes for grilled saganaki. In addition, our lamb chops were served well-done, although we asked for medium. On the other hand, our red snapper was great.
Restrooms are too small for a restaurant with this capacity.
The wine list should be MUCH better.
Overall, it wasn't a bad experience. And the prices are very reasonable to be honest.
However, if I compare the food and portions with some other Greek taverns in Astoria I have to admit there are better options.“

“Yo!!!! This place is so good. The host or maître D or whatever you wanna call him was like the most gracious person ever! Treated me and this hot girl that I’m currently seeing like we were family. Offered us some free Uzo drinks, which I’ve never had but now I’m throwing back like a bottle a week! Anyway, the food was off the hook. Please, please please don’t even get me started on the riblets!! I probably crushed like four orders spent my whole paycheck. Worth it!“

“Best authentic Greek in NYC. Top notch service. Thank you for the complimentary desserts!!“
“Beautiful restaurant, very homey and warm environment
Service was friendly and decent
Food was okay, definitely better options in Astoria and better priced, but portion sizes were very generous. The only dish we really didn’t like was the octopus, they serve it cold and had a funny after taste but everything else was good. Dakos salad was nice and ribeye was perfectly cooked. Lavraki was tasty“

“Came here for Monday lunch. Food was good but not amazing. But the service was very slow. Ordered the standard lunch prefix menu (app, main, dessert) and ended up spending almost 2 hours, mostly in waiting, not what I would expect from lunches.“

“Went on a Friday night without a reservation, grabbed a drink at the bar, and were seated within 10–15 minutes
Food:
• Zucchini chips: Thin, crispy, and lightly salted, golden and addictive. Very close to my all-time favorites.
• Spicy feta dip: Creamy with a balanced heat; rich but not overwhelming.
• Grilled octopus: Surprisingly tender with a subtle char and bright. Not something I usually order, but I’d absolutely get it again.
• Branzino: Moist, flaky, and deeply flavorful, super light
• Rice: Fragrant and savory - unexpectedly excellent.
• Lemon potatoes: perfect with a bold citrus punch.
Service: Warm, attentive, and efficient from start to finish.
A true standout and an easy repeat. Officially added to my list of favorite Greek restaurants.“

“We first heard about Tony’s on Jon Barr’s YouTube channel (prepping for our first NYC visit). Can only say that this is the perfect spot to get food, and then go eat it in Central Park.
Both times we visited the food was great, staff was very friendly & we received our orders within a couple of minutes.
The memorable comment from my girlfriend - “I want to move to NYC because of Tony’s”“

“My first time trying Greek food! It was a warm welcoming by the owner Michael! He was very generous in service and the staff did an amazing job cooking my meals! The Let’s Go Burger was delicious (VIP early access on this menu item! 😏) . I then was served the family platter (aka welcome to the family platter) which was delicious! The steak, chicken and lamb were cooked perfectly, the pita bread was nice and crispy and the vegetables were fresh and delicious! Not to mention the sauces they provided on the side were a nice addition to the meal. The white wine was also very smooth and nice! (St. Elias Assyrtiko). Last but not least, don’t leave without trying a pastry or dessert before you leave! Definitely coming back for more! Check out their Instagram page @letsgoyasouvlakia, give them a follow!“

“I love Pi I enjoy getting my Greek frappe and other coffees from Pi. The pastries are exceptional and if you want to have lunch, you can also have fantastic Greek dishes. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable of the coffees and food that they serve. I go to Pi every time I’m in that neighborhood.“

“Really enjoyed this place. You can tell they use fresh fish by the taste of their food. It feels like a truly authentic Greek kitchen, not touristy at all. I ordered Branzino and it was super tasty and cooked just right. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff — would happily come back.“

“I’ve been eating at Souvlaki GR locations in the city for almost ten years, the exceptional quality of the food, service and atmosphere has been consistent throughout that time. Almost always my first stop in manhattan when I arrive. I hope it’s here forever. There’s nothing better than a lamb souvlaki and a glass of mastiha. Cheers guys! Rock on.“

“Had their food for the first time the other day as takeout. Staff was very nice. Food was good. I had the gyro sparta wrap...very good I also tried their rice pudding. It was very good but I think $7 for a cup is pricey. I would go back to try other dishes.“

“Christos Souvlaki Stand is a gold mine and I say that because there isn't a day that there isn't a swarm of customers gathered here. His souvlaki is the absolute best within the Astoria area!
It's always so fresh, well seasoned and prepared right in front of you and can be topped with whatever sauce you want - my go to is the BBQ sauce.
100% RECOMMEND!“

“Jenny treated us with wonderful service. I had walked in to Meraki for and was seated right away. We had the octopus, Greek salad, and shared the meat platter. Everything was cooked to perfection. The baklava was amazing, will definitely coming back to try more.
Definitely one of the most underrated Mediterranean restaurants in Williamsburg.“

“We were there in December and came across Symposium while walking. We were impressed by the cozy atmosphere and the amazing service we received. Our server knew a lot about the history of the restaurant and was helpful in suggesting a wine with dinner. The hummus, lemon potatoes and steamed vegetables were all very savory! I highly recommend and we will be back next time in NYC!“

“This place was fantastic! Over the years I've been here maybe 10 times. I never complain when my friends or family suggest this place to eat for dinner. The waitresses are always a pleasure to deal with. They assist me well when I ask for all my extras and meal modifications. The chef ?? in the back is on point. I wish GYRO TOWN long-term success in these challenging economic times
Parking: Paid street parking can be a bit full sometimes, causing me to circle once or twice. I typically never have to walk more than a half a block.“

“Good food and nice ambience, referencing more modern Greece than mythologized ancient Greece. Clean bathroom and seating al fresco in season. Nice atrium in the rear dining room. In September 2024, Queens Libertarians hosted Larry Sharpe at this location.“
