- Keri ThompsonOctober 31, 2013Best seafood in the city!!! Octopus to die for as well as any other seafood on the menu! A must for authentic Greek done right.
- Racky RossOctober 19, 2014Sublime Greek dishes, a real Astoria legend! Be prepared to wait in line any time, any day... but it's totally worth it.
- Fabio G.January 10, 2016Salmon was great and also the shrimp on Greek sauce are very nice options. Choose potatoes and beets on the side : )
- The lunch deals are great. I always recommend the sardines or lamb, but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
- Rosemary R.March 8, 2013Food was delicious! Great food! Must haves are: Grilled octopus, fried feta cheese, grilled scallops, tzatziki, lemon potatoes, pork chops and beets.

- Quan NguyenJuly 28, 2017Assorted dips are so awesome. As is everything else. Beware of the addictive rice—hard to stop eating.
- Robert MadisonSeptember 25, 2018The food is great. There are no bad choices. When the wait line gets long, they serve you wine on the house.
- Kevin Mark DavidNovember 30, 2013Don't you dare leave without having the grilled octopus. The 2 hour long line is worth the wait for this octopus. My god. Again and again.

- Lady SAugust 3, 2021Of course the best greek and peasant salad. The lemon potatoes and the fish wow! A1

- Grilled octopus was good but the grilled calamari looked like it might have been nicer? Swordfish kebabs and grilled shrimp good - mild flavor. The lemon potatoes didn't do much for us.
- Walei SabryJuly 30, 2016Grilled swordfish is filling and delicious. Also, you get a surprise dessert with your bill after 5 pm
- Possibly the best Greek restaurant in Astoria, an area known for it's large Greek population. Crowded every night, be prepared to wait. If you want to have a conversation eat outside, loud inside.
- Caroline WaxlerJuly 7, 2015Don't miss this place in summertime. The outdoor seating just adds to the great experience.
- Apps are even better than entrees. Spanakopita, calamari, grape leaves. But lemon potatoes are unlike any other
