50 Best Greek Restaurants near Howard Beach

“Amazing Service and Delicious Food!
I stopped by this souvlaki spot in Howard Beach right before closing, and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed. Even though I arrived just 15 minutes before they were about to close, John served me with a smile and made me feel completely welcome. My order came out super fast, and the food was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.

It’s rare to find places that maintain such high quality and great service so close to closing time. Big thanks to John for going above and beyond—I’ll definitely be back again soon. Highly recommend if you’re craving great Greek food!“

“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.“

“WOW what a burger ! I have eaten burgers all around NY, but this food truck have something specially with their burger. The meat is juicy, the bread is soft and if you like spicy sauce this is a unique home made salsa that you won’t regret. I order it and ate it in less than 5min. Great job for the team that cooks in this small truck. Goto the Central Park one block away and eat it in a sunny day, it made my day.ill be back“

“Delicious & great service! We loved Esca but this was also v delicious & v healthy. Room is pretty. The bar is not as cozy & stylish as it was in its former iteration but overall we will be back & wish them great success! Great space & option including while in the theatre district, Sony Hall, etc;))“

“The food was fresh, flavorful and delicious. Abundance of choices for appetizers and main courses. The service was good and the food was excellent. They only offer two desserts: greek plain yogurt with grape preserves or baklava in small pieces.“

“An absolutely wonderful evening of great food, super service and beautiful authentic ambience (nice background music and not too loud). We felt like family here, and it was only our first time! Where to begin??!! First off the food was delicious - started with well poured cocktails to accompany our Pikilia (we especially loved the spicy feta!), followed by the most scrumptiously seasoned lamb chops (Paidakia) EVER, and ended with heavenly home cooked Milfei Napoleon! (With a little extra to take home, FAB!). Our server Tony was great, yet meeting Yiannis and Lia, and taking their recommendations, put this evening over the top! We were so pleased with the evening that we left with hugs! This was certainly a memorable dinner out, and we will be back!!!“

“I was craving green food. My sister and I walked by. So glad we stopped. I would give this place a billion stars if I could. So delicious and I also learned that traditional hero’s are made with pork. Excellent service and excellent food.“

“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!!!“

“Good service, nice food. Good Atmosphere.“

“this place was very nice! very good food. My mom was a bit upset that the tomatoes 🍅 were not very good, they tasted like they were in the fridge for too long. Other than that, the falafels 🧆 were a 10/10. Everything else was also good. A bit pricey but still very nice place with quality food. 🥘“

“The best of the best! From the staff to the service to the food everything was exquisite! I was first introduced to this spot by my sister who fell in love with it and i have now returned with different friends and not one has been let down.“

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

“Don’t let the name fool you, this is a thoroughly Mediterranean joint with great execution on the classics (gyros/souvlaki), and a delicious twist on some current trends (fried chicken sandwich). The salad and the fries are unique, simple and delicious.“

“Had a fabulous birthday dinner last night at Nick’s. Their food is always perfect and the atmosphere is friendly and so comfortable. I highly recommend it …try them you’ll be glad you did !!“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere. Fantastic food.“

“Beautiful atmosphere – it was like being in Greece in a taverna. Staff was very knowledgable about different drinks, and the history of some dishes. Prices were a little steep – I had the chicken brochette which was delicious, but only came with a scoop of rice. I was hoping to have some potatoes with it, but that was extra. But overall, a wonderful experience and would definitely go back.“

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

“I recomment this restaurant cause nothing good in this life does not come by luck and the experience of the owner is a guarantee for that succes !“

“Loving your neighbor is the lesson at this tiny, precious, kouzina. It’s a bit cramped and loud when it’s busy but it’s still beautiful, and with just enough Greek kitsch to be cool.

The bar is really great (but is the bartender trapped back there?!?) and the food is OUTSTANDING!! We had pastitsio (great flavor) and a skirt salad with grilled veggies (well executed.) I shouldn’t be reviewing this place because I don’t really want you to know about it but…“

“exelent services friendly people.“

“First time at Milos before seeing a show at City Center. Love the healthy choices on the pre-theater menu. We shared everything: grilled octopus and tuna tartare appetizers, perfectly cooked Dorade fish and lamb chop entrees, and we both enjoyed a fresh fruit plate
for dessert. Sweet, perfectly ripe, and delicious. We'll be back!“

“Took my friend here for a belated birthday dinner. First time at Athena for both of us. Everything was superb! Attentive, friendly staff, , affable and gracious host/owner(Teddy), great wine, food, and dessert menus. Food was delicious. We would definitely return to this delightful corner gem in Park Slope!“

“The food was absolutely delicious, with a lot of surprising and successful experimentation on Greek staples like the moussaka. The atmosphere was sophisticated and warm, and the staff knowledgeable and not looking to rush you out the door. Couldn’t recommend more highly. Just go!“

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

“We went here for dinner with family a few days ago.
We had tapas, steak and chicken.
Everything was great.
The boss was very attentive and nice, as was the waiter.
The ambience was also great.
Here you can also simply enjoy your cocktail at the end of the day.
If we're ever in the area again, we'd love to come back.“

“Muy buen sabor y muy buen atendido“

“This is my dream diner. Breakfast is my favorite meal and Madison delivers. Many other reviewers complained about the prices. The prices may be slightly higher ($2-$3?) than other places but you get what you pay for. First, the place is immaculate. Everything shines like a mirror. Second, the food is cooked by a certain kind of professional. I'll compare to another cafe nearby that offers a load of grease with your food. Not here. My hash browns were crispy, fluffy, perfect. Eggs, again perfection. The coffee was not as good as it could be (Lavazza please), but more than drinkable. I'm thinking of moving to NYC. Now I'm looking near The Madison as I'll spend most of my mornings there.“

“Chic setting and great food.“

“A wonderful place to celebrate our anniversary..our waiter Ioannis was so nice..we will be back“
