18 Best Greek Restaurants in Astoria

“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.“

“Slammen yup food is great and your mouth waters with it all!“

“Just met you guys at the Greek Fest in Cherry Hill! Excellent gyro, thanks so much“

“I stopped by BZ Grill in Astoria for a quick lunch and left seriously impressed. The owner, Margarita, is a super nice, hardworking lady who clearly takes pride in her food — everything is made fresh and with care.

I ordered the Bifteki Sandwich Lunch Special, which comes with fries. The bifteki (a seasoned Greek-style all-beef patty) was packed with flavor — juicy, perfectly grilled over charcoal, and I could taste a hint of cumin and other warm spices. Easily a 9/10. I also tried the kebab— a delicious mix of ground beef and lamb with Middle Eastern spices. It was tender and flavorful — a solid 8.5/10.

Overall, BZ Grill is a must-try for Greek street food lovers. Great flavors, generous hospitality, and a clean, welcoming vibe. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Outstanding bakery. They have a number of hard to find Greek and Mediterranean specialty pastries. Prices are reasonable and there is a nice little seating area on the sidewalk. Namely - they have Kavala cookies. Delicious and crispy. What a treat to find these here.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Muy buena atención y la comida excelente“

“THE best Greek food outside Greece!!!!! Simply delicious!!!“

“Efficient service. Food was very good -- although a little messy to eat, for my preferences. I got the pita with the feta-stuffed beef. The tzatziki sauce was amazing. Really nice decor as well, and the music isn't too loud (for those who are overstimulated easily).

Eyeing the many traditional dessert options as I eat ... ☺️“

“I discovered Taverna Kos in Astoria through a YouTube video, and I’m so glad I went—it was an excellent experience. The food was fresh, authentic, and full of flavor, but what really stood out was the hospitality. The owner, Mike, was incredibly humble, down-to-earth, and took the time to check in and make sure we felt at home. You can tell he cares deeply about both the food and the people who come through his doors.

The atmosphere was welcoming, the service attentive, and everything we tried was spot-on. It’s the kind of place that feels like you’re eating with family rather than just at a restaurant. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Greek food in Queens—you won’t be disappointed!

“Amazing. Favorite singers that we used to go to in Greece when we lived there but also new talents that we met here. The staff are wonderful, very friendly, polite, with impeccable service. The smell of Greece in all of them. Thank you for the beautiful evening you gave us. You must go. We will be back again soon.❤️???????“

“I stopped by just to grab some food while I waited for my meeting to start. I ordered the chicken souvlaki from the appetizer section. I was surprised by how big the platter was, it was more like an entree! It came with pita as well. It was absolutely delicious, the chicken was soft and tender and full of flavor. The pita was toasted and crispy with seasoning as well. I also ordered an espresso martini (my fave) with reposado, they make it with real espresso!!! A lot of places just use cold brew, so I was delighted that they had actual espresso. Laura the bartender (I sat at the bar) was so welcoming and friendly. The place itself is nicely decorated and has a good ambiance. I recommend this place and will definitely be back!“

“Very good food and service!!!“

“The backyard spot is really nice except the flies all around
They got very bare minimum desserts and they are not even good much. Couldn’t even finish the one i ordered.
The Biscocchino were really good when i first tried, recently I ordered the same, but it was really too basic.“

“The best store in astoria !! very nice lukumades you should also try the cappuccino nutella !!“
