50 Best Greek Restaurants near Flushing

“Authentic Flavors and Warm Hospitality!
I had an incredible experience at Plateia GR! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with friendly smiles and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that immediately set the tone for the evening.
The food was absolutely delicious — everything tasted fresh and authentically Greek. The grilled octopus was tender and perfectly seasoned, the meatballs were so moist and so good, and the gyro was delicious and full of flavor. The tzatziki and warm pita were the best I’ve ever had, and the galaktobouriko at the end of the meal was the perfect sweet finish.
What really stood out was the staff’s genuine hospitality — they took the time to explain the dishes and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed.
If you’re looking for a place that serves real Greek cuisine with heart and care, this is it. I can’t wait to come back!“

“The food was ok. No AC in the restaurant and muggy outdoor eating made it hard. I asked for no tomatoes or olives in my salad and she brought me a full plate of tomatoes in my salad so I didn’t eat it as I never return food. The place needs a good cleaning.“

“Delicious! Friendly service.“

“Love this spot- brought my parents who were visiting from out of town. Even in January they still find a way to find the most ripe and flavorful tomatoes. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared and served. Family owned and operated - nothing more iconically Astorian :)“

“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!“

“Great food - nice & friendly staff - reasonable prices Everything is excellent“

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

“Finally! A delicious traditional lamb gyro! These are surprisingly hard to find in Manhattan. I’ve been craving a traditional gyro for a while but didn’t want to drive 1-2 hours roundtrip from Manhattan to Astoria/Queens. This place hit the spot and I would return!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“The food & the service are both amazing.“

“Live music events and dinner“

“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!“

“We have enjoyed Sea Salt on past visits. This time our order was pre cooked. We ordered medium rare cheeseburgers and we received warmed up versions with cheese not melted instead of the fresh cooked ones in the past. It was disappointing. The rest of lunch was great. Service was superb.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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 !!!“

“It's my go-to spot whenever I'm nearby and craving some delicious Greek food. It might take a little while to get my order by NYC standards but pretty fast for weatchester, but the short wait is more then worth it. The staff there are genuinely friendly and kind, which makes the experience even better always going the extra mile“

“Steve’s gyro platters are absolutely delicious, and his desserts are just as amazing. I also love the watermelon yogurt treat he offers it’s so refreshing and unique! Everything here is top-notch, and the customer service is excellent. Always a great experience!“

“Really enjoyed this place. You can tell they use fresh fish by the taste of their food. It feels like a truly authentic Greek kitchen, not touristy at all. I ordered Branzino and it was super tasty and cooked just right. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff — would happily come back.“

“Muy buena atención y la comida excelente“

“I had such a great time at this Greek restaurant! Our server, George the Greek, was absolutely fantastic—so friendly, funny, and full of personality. I laughed so much during the meal, and he made the whole experience feel warm and welcoming.

The food was incredibly tasty, too. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. I left completely satisfied and already planning my next visit.

Highly recommended if you want delicious Greek food and great energy! 🇬🇷✨“

“Good service, nice food. Good Atmosphere.“

“Had such a wonderful experience at Herb & Olive! The food was so fresh and delicious and our server Zoya was so amazing. She made great recommendations and was so sweet and accommodating with our son!“

“The best food with friendly hospitality 🙏🏾🙏🏾“

“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.“

“The BEST SERVICE AND FOOD!“

“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.“

“EXCELLENT! Gluten Free Pitas - delicious! Great selection, huge portions, fast delivery. Our new go to for Greek food!“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere. Fantastic food.“

“Πολυ ωραίο φαγητό και εξαιρετικό το σέρβις“

“Amazing spot. Everything was just great! From the cocktails to the appetizers, entrees and desserts. Had the octopus and stuffed calamari, and they were both amazing. For entrees we both had fish and omfg. It was super fresh and perfectly cooked“

“Food is really good! Comparably priced to most of the fast casual restaurants in midtown area. Got the Piato both times, and the potatoes are great as a base. Chicken is crispy and nice, and the Bambi and Greek Salads are fire. Service is really really good too, and personally get a kick out of the door to the basement being covered by the trash can lol.

Def recommend for lunch / dinner!“

“Couples POV: She loved the fast service, decorations and how flavorful the food was. While I appreciated getting a table quickly, being served without a long wait, and feeling like the meal was worth paying for. Overall, it was authentic, flavorful, a great experience that kept both of us happy, and we’d definitely come back.“

“Come and check out their lunch specials , Greek gyro , potato fries and a soda . It was delicious and affordable, say hello to George when you visit .“
