Big parties book this restaurant for not only the space but the delicious food. Tried three spreads, their spinach side, and their salmon with rice. Was too full to order dessert but will definitely be back to try more. Bathroom was clean and the servers were so nice.“

“A delicious, warm dining experience! The staff were friendly and the ambience inviting. I also really appreciated that the menu was designed to be shared and the portions were designed exactly for that, when so often they’re either too small or too big. Food itself was delicious — familiar but not reductive. The pillowy bread is a must, I wish I could eat it every day.“

“Amazing food! Wonderful service and Chef Marie Loi is a joy! My new “must go when I’m in NY” restaurant!“

“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!“

“Paros in Tribeca is my new go-to for modern Greek. The room is bright and stylish,
blue-and-white Cycladic vibes that make you feel like you’ve stepped onto a Greek island, but it’s the food that brings me back. The grilled octopus is charred and tender, the seafood is fresh and clearly imported with care, and the Bronzino with lemon hits that perfect sweet-salty note. Chef George Pagonis knows what he’s doing. Add genuine Greek hospitality and a sharp cocktail program, and it’s a standout. Perfect for date night or a long dinner with friends.“

“There are many excellent Greek restaurants in Astoria and Ambrosia Garden can hold its own with all of them. The decor is splendid. It feels like you are being teleported to an intimate Greek island. Pavlos, our server, was top notch. Every dish we had was on point. The meal started with fresh house baked bread and olive oil. Excellent. We then ordered the Hellenic salad, tzatziki, a couple of glasses of Cava and some wine. I ordered the grilled lamb chops, my wife and mother in law ordered two branzinos and my father in law ordered the cod special. I loved it all. My father in law thought that the cod was too salty and Pavlos was extremely apologetic. He proceeded to give us a couple of desserts on the house. Amazing. Each are done in house and they are special. We had a sticky cake layer topped with a cream and pistachio. It was divine and then we had their famous orange cake. So good. I finished off the meal with a perfect double espresso. Thank you Pavlos and thank you Ambrosia Garden for a wonderful experience.“

“I had the octopus, greek salad, zucchini chips and steak for Dinner. Everything from start to finish was tasty and of excellent quality. 5 stars all the way! I will be returning.“

“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.“

“Live music events and dinner“

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

“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.“

“your Chicken Soup And Your Kindness“

“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 friend and I had the most gorgeous dinner at Gaia last Tuesday. We ordered a fantastic Piniot Nior followed by Organic chicken and potatoes with a side of spinach. My friend had steak, all cooked perfectly. The restaurant had a warm and welcome atmosphere. Conveniently located next to the hotel we where staying in, the Gregorian.“

“The whole vibe with Greek auntie felt like I was actually in Greece . All that was missing was the Aperol spritz. The food was incredible and while we had to wait to get a table the wait is worth it. Everything is cooked with love and you can tell. I recommend the branzino .“

“Muy buena atención y la comida excelente“

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

“Hard to see from the street but glad I found it online! I was in town for work and wanted quick, easy, delicious food to take back to my hotel room. This was a perfect choice. Meat skewer, spanakopita, and baklava were all excellent. Really needed that spinach after eating a lot of bagels and cream cheese this week. The dining room was super cozy and the staff kind and courteous. I'd like to go back sometime with friends for dine-in. :)“

“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!!!“

“Been in many Greek restaurants in NYC and this is by far my favorite place. The food is delicious and takes me back to summer vacation in Greece. Definitely going back!!“

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

“This restaurant is a jewel in downtown New Rochelle. It is the second outpost of people who know how to handle this cuisine — which is both healthy and delicious! They have a wonderful lunch special. All of their food is great, but I particularly recommend the lamb chops, the lemon chicken soup, and the beautiful, piping hot lentil soup I have just ordered on this gusty March day. This place is frequented by people who know good food. It is a family business in every sense of the word. There are pictures of the family in Greece and— whether you have been there or not— you will be transported and inspired.“

“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.“

“Best Restaurant in the area. Seriously.“

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

“Great restaurant! Great food! Great staff! We love it. We ate there 3 times in 24 hours.“

“My go to place when visiting mom in Bayside. Incredible Moussaka 5 stars“

“Delicious eats, great service. I stop here often when in park slope.“

“The octopus is PERFECTLY cooked. The flavors are incredible. I only wish it came with some potato or salad underneath. We also got the lamb fricassee, that sauce is so lovely and lemony. I think the lamb was just a touch over cooked but that is my only note on that dish. We got a half portion of rice on the side and I would recommend so you can savor every last bit of the sauce! The service is great, and I love the atmosphere. It feels like old New York and you are surrounded by Greek families in the restaurant. They gave bread with a delish vinegar and the end of the meal was a nice rice pudding dessert on the house. I will definitely be coming back!“

“Really enjoyed the takeout I ordered for delivery. The Royal Greens Salads are huge!!! I would say they're twice as big as other salads chains. I wish it was easier though to know the dietary info for the salad dressings as I could not tell which ones were vegan. I love that you can choose your own protein and swap some of the toppings or build your own. I also got the green tofu curry dish from SriPraPhai as well. The sauce was incredibly flavor and I liked the amount of kick it had. It was spicy but not too spicy for me atleast. I do wish it had more tofu in it though as it felt very sauce heavy. I would order takeout from here again especially if I was getting food with someone who wanted something different then me. I appreciate the free delivery and the amazing portion sizes. It's nice to be able to order multiple cuisines as well.“

“went here today to celebrate my son in laws mother's birthday. Excellent appetizers, entrées and service. lovely atmosphere, delicious food. highly recommended 👌“
