Great welcoming management with sense of humor. They listen to your wishes and preferences as well as they discreetly check upon you during the stay. Helpful and attentive service! As always, very cozy athmosphere and very nicely made food - great lamb dishes. Wish the flavor of a hummus starter had more significant taste, it didn't have actually any seasoning, wish the tzatziki side was a little bigger. Would be lovely to have ouzo served on the alco menu as well! Great choice of a sweet mastiha shot as a wrap up of the visit! Will get me one for home! And will comeback!
I find it pretty good restaurant around Astoria. I really love it.

3.5 stars which just ok. The restaurant had a beautiful atmosphere and excellent service, but the food was just mediocre. There are far better Greek places that are authentic in the area. We had the Saganaki and beet salad for our appetizers. The Saganaki was very good, but the beets in the salad tasted like it was straight from a can. For entrees we had the filet and kofta kabobs and sea bass plaki. The kebabs were good, but the sea bass plaki was very bland. For desserts we had the orange cake and the chocolate cake both were mediocre and not worth ordering. Nothing was terrible here, but nothing was amazing either. Overall it was mediocre and not worth a second visit.

After the passing of our mother , we needed a restaurant to celebrate her memory. Taverna ANASSA in Astoria was outstanding!! With very little notice a phone call was made to the restaurant, Mr Dimitri Filippou answered the call. I told Dimitri what I needed and without hesitation he connected me to his event coordinator, Ms VASO PLATIS . A few txts later the even was booked for 50 people. To say that Ms Vaso Platis was excellent would be an understatement . She was amazing!! My guests and I walked in the restaurant with great seating very nicely decorated for the occasion, excellent staff and service. It felt like home. Thank you Vaso, staff and Anassa Taverna !!
Amazing food. I have a Greek wife and more importantly a Greek mother-in-law who can really cook. This is a very different level. Everything was just perfect. Flavors balanced with tradition with nuance. Just amazing. Can't say enough. Loved it

Anassa has to be one of the top five restaurants in Astoria. It is an absolute must go for anyone who likes fine food. The seafood is exquisite the dips. The hummus service is excellent. They have a nice bar and you could live it up here because it is an expensive restaurant, but it’s it’s worth the price.

TOP NOTCH!!! I highly recommend Anassa Estiatori in LIC! I frequently dine there with family and friends, at least monthly, given my Westchester residence. Reservations are essential. For my recent 40th birthday celebration, I collaborated with Dimitri, George, and Antoni to host 30 adults and 8 children. Their support was exceptional. The atmosphere was superb, the cuisine consistently delicious, and the service outstanding. Dimitri and his team provided a truly familial hospitality. I look forward to planning our next event there.

We ate here last night for the first time and everything was absolutely fantastic!! We shared fried calamari and fried saganaki for appetizers. We ordered the Kefte kebab and filet mignon kebab and both were delicious, flavorful, and so tender- great portions too. The vibe in here is warm and energetic. Server was very friendly and paced the meal well. The manager came over to check on how we were doing, too, which is a plus. We highly recommend this place for your next date night!
Was a guest here for my work holiday dinner, great ambiance, amazing service, and delicious food!
