“Perfect little neighborhood gyro shop. We are frequent customers. Very residential area, quiet and relaxed. The food is great, it always tastes very fresh. Large portions. Our usual waitress Violetta is attentive, friendly, and wonderful. We live a block away and they are good neighbors and a wonderful addition to the community. Only drawback when visiting is that parking can be a challenge.“

“Not one to usually leave reviews, but this restaurant is an absolute must! We tried the Octopus, Grilled Calamari, Branzino, and Chilean Sea Bass — every dish was cooked to perfection. The food was outstanding, and the service was just as impressive. Truly top-notch. Thank you! Oriana R.“

“The food is great…specially the Grill Octopus 🐙 👍👍“

“We would like to thank the Avra Team for the wonderful experience we had celebrating our son's 1 year old birthday and his grandparents 40th wedding anniversary. Beautiful place for special celebration! Sophisticated ambience, attentive staff, exceptional service, delicious Greek food! We highly recommend making reservation in advance!“

“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!“

“The food & the service are both amazing.“

“Awesome food presentation and ambiance! A definite “go back to again”!“

“My oh my, what a delicious meal. I have never had better flatbread in my life. The small salad with gyro was more than enough for a meal. And my favorite dessert- Galaktoboureko!!! I’m so happy I had dinner here.“

“food was great, everything else is average.
Bad suction system in the restaurant, you smell like kitchen after leaving. The bathrooms were dirty, place overall lacks some energy. Boring atmosphere comparing to the other Mediterranean restaurants in the city. The food was great tho“

“Had a lovely meal to celebrate my 50th birthday, the food was so good and the service was fantastic, I would highly recommend“

“Their lamb/beef gyro was really good. The bowl was stuffed! The wait was a bit long though, almost 25+ minutes just to get to order, and sometimes other people (I assume related) just cut in to throw in 5 or 10 other orders. The food came out very fast at least and I enjoyed my bowl. I see they have an online ordering site, so I may try that next time to reduce the wait. Would love to try the other items.“

“What a hidden gem!! The decor, atmosphere, service and the food here is 10/10!! Our server Omo was great. My party decided to get several sides and dishes to share. Every single thing was delicious !!! The enclosed garden area where we sat as stunning as well as the interior space.

I highly recommended the following dishes:
Tzatziki and spicy feta dips, Garides Saganaki, Sofrito, Papoutsakia and the Dakos salad

If I’m ever in the area I’m coming back for sure !!!“

“Great greek food, very Tasty“

“Family Corner is an amazing cozy family restaurant that my friends & fam have been going to for decades! It’s like “Cheers” where everyone knows each other’s name! The food is made fresh homemade with ♥️Love everyday! Their food is so tasty and the portions are generous. The staff & owner makes you feel part of their family. It’s intimate diner throw back to another time atmosphere is refreshing! The traditional Greek food is out of this world and very reasonably priced. And it has a thriving takeout/ delivery business. Neighborhood eateries like The Family Corner - is what makes our Astoria community great!!!“

“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.“

“We came here on a recommendation from a good friend. We were on-time for our reservation but had to wait 25 minutes to be seated. Another party that had a reservation at the same time as us, received notification from the restaurant that their reservation was running late. We did not receive a notification from the restaurant. The restaurant does not have a waiting area, it is a very tight space. The owner told us to wait outside , which wasn't nice... it was cold and they should have a waiting area. They could have one if they moved some furniture around. Once seated the food and service were excellent. The dining area was very tight and the music was too loud , we were unable to hear each other across the table. We like to enjoy our company/conversation. This was very difficult. We eat out a lot in NYC but we won't be coming back here.“

“The moussaka is the best I have ever had by a landslide and one of my favorite dishes ever. I have ordered it probably 100 times and it never disappoints. The gigantes are scrumptious. Better of either those dishes would not be found in Greece. The atmosphere is simple because this isn't a fancy restaurant, but it is pleasant.“

“I came here for the chicken cheeseburger and fries, and both were really good -fresh, flavorful, and just the kind of comfort food you want. The service was friendly and the place feels cozy, nothing fancy but nice quality. I also tried the baklava since they didn’t have cheesecake that day. It was okay, maybe 6/10, not something I’d order again. But for sure, if you come here, get the chicken cheeseburger with fries , that’s the real highlight“

“Really enjoyed our evening here! The cocktails were super innovative - they have “beertails” which are cocktails made with beer! We also tried their classic “mini” souvlaki and the 8 hour braised octopus! Our favorite was the Lamb Shank that fell right off the bone - we will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“First time here but will be back again and again. The food the ambiance the staff perfection. you feel like you're in Greece. the saladS are big and delish. 4 of us went and all loved their dishes. highly recommend. New fave. Yes a little pricey but worth it“

“There is no lack of Souvlaki restaurants in NYC, let alone Astoria, but Christos Souvlaki Stand stands out.

Your basic choices (as I understand them) are- skewer, sandwich, or platter. Then you choose chicken or pork. While your order is being assembled, a couple of additional questions: hot sauce (say yes, it’s not that hot), BBQ sauce (say yes, it’s not what you think), and “everything”? (Also say yes, as this includes Tatziki, lettuce, onions, and tomatoes.

I ordered a fantastic pork souvlaki sandwich (with all of the above). The pork had just the right amount of char and smoke from their natural charcoal, but it was still juicy and tender. The fresh pita became a sponge for all the delicious juice that needed a home before my belly. I had to take it home, but you can see its ample size. In total, I think it was $7!

If you need to get on the subway to come here, do it. It’s totally worth it.“

“Amazing and authentic Greek food. Absolutely the BEST!! A definite repeat again and again. Ask for momma’s specials, it varies by week, his mom makes delicacies.“

“Sea Salt is an absolute gem! The food was excellent—every dish was flavorful and beautifully prepared. The ambience was just as impressive, creating the perfect setting for a great meal. Drinks were on point, and the service was attentive and friendly. Everything from start to finish was amazing—I can't wait to go back!“

“Whoa! The food was amazing! Im pescatarian, so I had the fish, and it was delicious. Everything was so fresh. There was a humus plate with 3 different flavors, and the cucumbers were beautifully decorated around them. I must have eaten all of the cucumbers. In some restaurants, a fresh cucumber can be hard to come by. The fish arrived on a bed sautéed spinach, WOW ❤️❤️. The sliced pita bread with the humus was addictive. I definitely ate way more than I should have. While I dont eat meat, the other folks I was dining with said the chicken and beef options were just as delicious. It was family style, so we had lots of options. The restaurant is small but quaint, and the customer service was amazing. The food came out quickly, and there were about 13 of us. We had a reservation for 1 pm on a Thursday, and it was not crowded.

There isn't a lot of space to move around, so I would be conscious of carrying large bags or strollers.“

“we asked for a delivery yesterday, and it was delicious. particularly recommended the moussaka, and the lamb meatballs (with Lotus of tzatziki 🙂)“

“The most delicious Greek food! From the hummus to the baklava, it was probably the best food we’ve had outside of Greece itself!!!“

“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.“

“Amazing customer service and the food is phenomenal! Authentic Greek cuisine at its finest!! Definitely recommend!“

“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.“

“Very friendly staff delicious food.💕“

“Took my friend here for a belated birthday dinner. First time at Athena for both of us. Everything was superb! Attentive, friendly staff, , affable and gracious host/owner(Teddy), great wine, food, and dessert menus. Food was delicious. We would definitely return to this delightful corner gem in Park Slope!“

“A great place to dine if you like fine Greek cuisine. 👍 Great atmosphere too! Good attentive, service“

“Great atmosphere. Fantastic food.“

“Meze is a great go-to neighborhood eatery! I've been coming here for 2 years now, and it never disappoints. Every dish is delicious and hearty, so there's no wrong choice. The service and ambiance are also top-tier. Highly recommended!!“

“Muy buena atención y la comida excelente“
