“Genuinely the best Greek food on Long Island. Moving out here from Queens and being used to the Greek food in Astoria, we were honestly worried we wouldn’t find anything as authentic out here - but Twisted Greek completely changed that.

The food is fresh, flavorful, and truly tastes homemade. Everything we’ve had has been excellent, from the gyros to the souvlaki to the sides, and you can tell they really care about quality. It has that authentic Greek street/comfort-food feel that’s hard to find outside of Astoria and keeps me coming back.

On top of that, the service is amazing. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and makes you feel genuinely appreciated as a customer. They’re attentive, quick, and always make the experience feel personal, which makes the food even better.

We’re so happy to have found this place and it has quickly become one of our go-to spots. Highly recommend to anyone looking for real, delicious Greek food on Long Island with great service to match.“

“Amazing food, excellent service, great prices and family friendly atmosphere!“

“We recently went there for Mother’s Day. It was super busy! This place is so far the best Greek place I have been too. It is a hole in the wall but it is an excellent hole in the wall. We ordered two salads and they were both excellent. The one with figs actually had a good amount of fig pieces in it. Their soups were fresh too, not heavily salted. Their entrees were sumptuous, healthy and very tasty. We ordered two entrees and they were both excellent. Post lunch they gave out Greek yogurt deserts with fruit and they also gave a small cup of chickpea salad after we sat down. Everything was fresh. The pita bread was warm and fresh. After a couple of days, it is still fresh, unlike the store bought ones that harden. This was our first visit and it won’t be our last. The owner was warm and welcoming. The staff was attentive and caring. People waited a while for pick ups and that only goes to show how popular the restaurant is. The best part: prices were reasonable! 😂“

“Last night I took my 95 yo dad with my family here, our Go-To Greek restaurant and as always we had another wonderful meal. The grilled octopus, coconut shrimp and the haloumi cheese were all delicious. I had the chicken santorini for the first time and it was amazing as it melted in my mouth. The food is always spot on and most of all we are treated like family. I would recommend "It's Greek to Me" without hesitation.“

“Our waiter Saul was very friendly and had great recommended things to try and I tried them all! He had a passion for his workplace and I love that! A must try u all 🤙🤙🤗 visiting from Tampa FL My Sister who lives in Ronkonkomo and my daughter & granddaughters Huntington residents love this restaurant 🤙“

“Fast, friendly service. Gyro Platter was enough for 2 meals. Excellent!“

“friendly.staff clean restaurant great meal“

“I dined at this restaurant with three other friends on Sunday, 8/17. We had food off of the $37 menu. It is a three-course dinner. I had the Fried Calamari, done perfectly, Filet Mignon, also done perfectly, and chocolate ice cream dessert. The food and service were over the top. They also have a party room that can hold 70 people. I highly recommend SYMI for your dining pleasure. Enjoy.“

“Finally tried Kalamaki and wow — so good. The chicken souvlaki was super juicy and packed with flavor. The pita was warm and fluffy and the tzatziki was perfectly garlicky. Portions are generous and prices are fair. Definitely becoming one of my go-to Greek spots.“

“The food was excellent! Had the Fried Calamari (but you can order grilled), and the Mediterranean Octopus salad. Both were good but we all really loved the octopus! We had the Mixed Grill which consists of lamb chop, pork chop, skirt steak and chicken. menu says "serves 2" but it easily fed 4, and I don't think I'll finish what I took home in one sitting! Also had the Mixed Grill Vegetable which goes well obviously with the protein dish. Had a Greek beer and a glass of Greek red wine. Very friendly service: the bartender, greeter, our waiter, all gave good vibes. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“This family owned restaurant is worth the time and effort. Nothing fancy except good Greek food. We both eat in and take out The staff is so accommodating and friendly. Many times the owners wife and children are eating there. The grandfather works at the grill when not spending time with his grandkids Again, nothing fancy except for the food, the atmosphere and the people. Please go and enjoy home-cooking while eating out“

“Love Venus! Staff is amazing, food is so good. It really tastes like authentic greek food. I brought my kids here and the staff was so kind, playing with them and making our experience great. I would recommend the Lemon Egg soup and Gyro Sandwich - seriously so good and can’t wait to go back!“

“I was here yesterday, ordered Chicken Karahi, Kebabs, Chicken Tikka with Naan. Everything was delicious and closer to the perfection. Raita and special Spicy Onions made things more delicious. I will definitely visit again to try other dishes. One more thing which i liked, there werr no mandatory service charges, you can tip whatever you want to. Beautiful small space with Quality Food. Please owners keep it like that. Thank You“

“Coconut shrimp and coconut chicken were DELICIOUS!!! :)“

“This was the best Greek food . The take out food comes hot because they use these foil boxes. Spinach roll appetizer was amazing and chicken skewers with rice with twaztiki sauce amazing . Our new place to go to!“

“Husband & I were in the area & decided to stop in for lunch today & glad we did. I had the Lamb Gyro, came w/french fries & Beef Barley soup. Soup was delicious. Gyro had plenty of meat (lamb) w/lettuce, tomatoes & onions. All very fresh. Husband had Falafel which he said was absolutely delicious. We had a great lunch. The staff were very nice and attentive & restaurant was cheerful & clean. We will definitely be coming back to try their dinner next time. Highly recommend Opa Grille.“

“I happened to be in the area from out of town and stopped in for a bite to eat. The gyro, grape leaves and baklava were outstanding! Staff was very friendly. Highly recommend 10/10. Thank you!“

“Was in the area working and decided to have lunch here. The place has a very large menú to chose from so I was a bit hesitant on that. Usually places with large menus tend to have a hard time keeping items fresh, but no not here at hell's kitchen the food was great flavor and taste are great. I ordered a chicken gyro platter. The gentleman behind the counter insisted I try the empanadas so I did and it was very good. The crust was very crispy and flaky just like a traditional empanada and it was stuffed with spicy chicken. I wish I would have ordered a few more. I recommend stopping by if you are in the area.“

“Everything I have eaten is absolutely delicious. Friendly staff. Anthony & Dawn make every dining experience a pleasure. By far this is my favorite place to sit down relax & have an amazing meal.“

“This is my third time back to this burger spot. OMG!!! Simply delicious. Great staff, kitchen...everything!!! And the fries...so good, so fresh, so many!!!! No mas!!!
I shouldn't have finished my burger...a double smash cheeseburger, with lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, cheese, ketchup and mustard (yes mustard, don't knock it till you try it).
I'm coming back every time I'm in the area!!
Btw. The photo is my mom's burger. I finished mine before I could take a picture.“

“I was craving mezze bad literally all day but didn't want to go to the place near work during my lunch break so I was CRANKY when I got home. Googled when I got home and saw this close by, forced my husband out of the house to drive me before I got so hangry I murdered him. Husband got a quinoa bowl (why anyone eats quinoa is beyond me but he really enjoyed it) piled high, I got falafel, and I got an order of each of the spreads. Absolutely hit the spot--also I make the feta dip (tyrokafteri) at home which I've been making for years and people rave about it (literally, like I'm pretty famous for it in my circles) but somehow this tastes better than mine?!? How dare they make it better than me?!? One day I'll figure out their recipe but until the I guess I'll have to keep buying it to divine their secrets. Falafel was crispy on the outside, tender and not dry on the inside, great portions. I only remembered to review with a picture after I mostly demolished it so sorry if you were hoping for a picture of the whole thing.“

“Beautiful, cozy spot. Food was delicious. Great cocktails, too! Great service. I highly recommend!“

“This is an impeccable restaurant with a fantastic menu of delicious dishes, lively atmosphere, and excellent service. I hosted my friend's 70th birthday celebration here last weekend, and it was a magnificent experience from beginning to end!“
