My fav Greek restaurant. The main location in Astoria is always packed. Try the grilled octopus, calamari, Greek salad.....everything is great and worth it
Here is what you MUST order, Octopodi, saganaki, and the calamari!!! Best starters!!
God yes, if you like Greek and seafood - this is definitely the place. Get that warm pita, add some octopus and a whole fish, divine darling. Love it.
you should share portions since you will want to taste everything- and don't forget to order Rigatoni with octopus and marrow- it's very rich but AMAZING
The fusilli with octopus and bone marrow is to die for. But you must have the lobster, basil and burrata to start!
The fusilli with octopus and bone marrow is to die for. Last meal status for sure!
Hidden Gem! Real yummy greek restaurant. By far the best in east side and could easily compete with Kyklades and Pylos. Things to order: octopus, spicy cheese, mousakka , salad #yum
Everything we had was delicious. The grilled fish is off the charts good. We also loved the octopus and horyataki salad. Very authentic Greek food and super reasonable price. We'll be back soon.
Horiatiki salad and lamb chops. Yes! Some of the best octopus in the city especially. Inexpensive. No wait on a Monday evening but can be busy most nights. But sit, stay awhile and enjoy yourself.
Appetizer: octopus, pure deliciousness. Entree: black sea bass. Enjoy.
Lobster, octopus, salmon, Greek salad etc. - you can enumerate infinitely;). All the food is superb! A great service is an additional benefit to visit :). Enjoy!
Fantastic place, the bronzino melts in your mouth, octopus appetizer is wonderful, get the house fried zucchini and cheese special, surprisingly delicious. Scallops can be skipped, also calamari.
Came for a birthday dinner date, everything was outstanding, especially the octopus, fish, and wine.
pita bread!!! gotta try their grilled octopus, so good♥ three cheese melt, lamb shank are delish too!
Possibly one of the top meals I've had in the city. Not only is the decor beautiful, but the food and wine are top notch. I highly recommend the octopus and the lamb chops. My compliments to the chef!
Calamari stuffed with 4 cheeses - delicious!
Amazing Greek food is not an easy thing to come by, but from your first moments in Avra you will know you found a winner. The charcoal-grilled octopus was excellent, and the fig ice cream for dessert
Zucchini/eggplant chips & the octopus appe, great! Plaki seabass was amazing, swordfish also delightful. Baklava and walnut cake AMAZING! Baklava wasnt too sweet and was big on the pistachios, yum!
Must get the seafood orzo entree, lemon potatoes side & octopus appetizer! My favorite meal in the city to date!
Grilled octopus is a must! Everything we've ordered was delicious, except for spinach as a side dish.
The burrata and the octopus are my favorite starters. You can't go wrong with anything you order - it's all delicious!
The octopus was well made, very nice artichoke pesto penne and amazing truffle Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese can get overweening so share! The food actually made up for the very rude service.
We tried the kale salad, octopus salad, eggplant, burrata, gnocchi, pappadelle and tiramisu. All were excellent.
If you’ve never tried Octopus before-let this be your first taste. The Octopus a la Plancha served w/ marcona almonds, arugula and jervez vinegar is perfectly balanced in both taste + texture
Delicious prix fixe dinner if you go early. Great Greek and Middle Eastern food. Octopus, cod, and lamb are all excellent, as is the wine list. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.
Dipping oil and sauce for the bread was delicious! Loved my octopus starter, the artichoke side, pumpkin ravioli and grapefruit dessert. Not so crazy about the swordfish.
Finally another super high quality Thai offering! Calamari is lightly fried and delicious. Crab fried rice rivals Uncle Boons
The Namtok pork, coconut crab curry, and fried calamari were some of our favorites! Perfect blend of flavors: sweet, sour, and some heat! 💥
The food is solid but it doesn't make up for the disappointing service from the hostess. But do order the crab curry (really spicy), the pork and shrimp noodles, calamari (👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻), and any fish!
The most amazing amazing amazing happy hour specials! The lobster Mac n cheese and the calamari salad are incomparably delicious, and you can't beat $1 oysters!
Really liked the octopus and squid apps (generous portions, good to share).
Happy Hour Oysters! Loved the "Washburns", sweet, salty, crisp, light, yet full of flavor, my favorite oyster there. The Charred Octopus was also delicious 🐙👍🏻
Great for brunch and dinner (use resy to avoid the long waits). Veggies are home grown on their roof. Try the octopus at dinner or eggs Benedict for brunch.
Rosemary's chopped salad ranks the best salad of my life. Octopus salami is just perfect. Fresh organic foods made with some ingredients from their rooftop farm!
Everything we had was perfect: focaccia taleggio tartufi, chopped salad siciliana, chitarra alla carbonara, marinated skirt steak, marinated calamari and octopus Salome. Plates are small.
Octopus and marinated artichoke appetizers are fantastic. Semolina cookies are doused in buttery deliciousness
Excellent vegan options! Order the roasted red pepper dip, charred octopus and garlic shrimp. For mains order the lamb chops.
Wow. This food is exceptional. Words cannot describe the high quality meals. Must do: manti, octopus, baklava. You'll never forget this place #GEM
Don't miss out on the grilled calamari and the steak! The steak is surprisingly light, served on a cutting board over salad.
Grilled calamari is always excellent. And such a friendly and attractive room - and staff!
Great italian food. Love the grilled calamary, milanese, any pizza, spaghetti. Well basically everything. Very nice staff.
Try the beef tartar and the octopus appetizers - both are delicious!
Try the black spaghetti with octopus.. Amazing!! All the homemade pastas are awesome!!
Get the black spaghetti with octopus. You won't be disappointed.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
