18 Best Greek Restaurants in Astoria

“Anassa Taverna Astoria delivers a polished yet soulful Greek dining experience that feels both upscale and inviting. Visited on a Saturday evening with two friends, we were immediately struck by the warm lighting, marble accents, and the hum of a lively crowd. The open kitchen and attentive staff set the tone for a memorable meal.

Highlights:
• The grilled octopus was tender with a perfect char, complemented by capers and onions.
• Lamb chops were juicy and flavorful, served with roasted lemon potatoes.
• Lobster spaghetti featured a rich tomato sauce infused with ouzo and herbs.  

Drawbacks:
• The restaurant can get noisy during peak hours; consider dining earlier for a quieter experience.

Insider Tip:
Don’t miss the complimentary revani cake at the end of your meal—a delightful semolina dessert soaked in honey syrup.“

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

“The best souvlaki outside of Greece“

“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!“

“This place has quickly become my favorite restaurant in Queens. A quick walk past the kitchen and the friendly staff on the grill upon entry and you are already excited about what’s to come.

Service is attentive and they offer you a lot of help with the menu if needed. I noticed the table next to me was sharing a bottle of ouzo. They noticed me looking and gladly offered me some. It was a great experience.

Keep in mind they can get busy on the weekends and on holidays.“

“I was walking by the stand when the amazing smell of the food made stop immediately. I went in and had the pork skewer dipped lemon sauce and it was AMAZING!!! Good amount of meat for the price and great service as well. Next time I come, I’ll take 5 of them and bring them home for dinner.“

“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!!!“

“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 ... ☺️“

“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.❤️???????“

“Food and drinks were delicious. We loved the mediterranean spreads and spinach dips the best; mains were good as well. They also had great selection of Greek wines. Service was excellent and space was nicely decorated. We went there to celebrate my friends birthday and had a wonderful experience. Thank you !“

“Very good food and service!!!“

“The best souvlaki outside of Greece“

“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.“

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

“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.“
