    Ambience
    Raia S.

    Really classic neighborhood Greek diner with all of the traditional dishes and over-the-top décor I love to see. The souvlaki sandwich was solid, the chicken was crispy and flavorful, nice tzatziki and pita, just a few too many red onions for my taste. Amazing price too and quite filling. The staff were friendly as well. Good amount of seating and not too busy. Would recommend for popping through Astoria.

    A hidden gem in the heart of Astoria. Food was very good and generous portions. We had the greek staples of Salad and fried calamari and it all fresh and delicious. Service was excellent and great ambiance. Prices were pretty decent.

    Worst service I ever had in a restaurant. The Polish waitress was so unfriendly. I stopped here because I have driven past it a million times and they have a Ukrainian flag and a Greek flag. My ancestry is both. I was happy to see they served Polish beer. There had to be a back story for a Greek Taverna that is pro Ukraine. The waitress couldn't have been more unfriendly. I on the other hand am gregarious, kind, and friendly to all initially. I asked her basic questions and she just looked at me and ignored me. Then she sat down on the other side of the restaurant and never came back. I would have ordered a lot more to eat and drink, but her rudeness ruined my appetite. Greeks are known for their epic hospitality. One would think a Greek taverna, even if it has Mexican cooks and a Polish waitress would try to embody that. When I finished eating, I handed my cash with a minimum tip directly to the cooks and said, "Decent food, horrible service."

    A hidden gem. In my opinion one of the best Greek restaurants in Astoria. Food is always fresh and delicious, with attentive service. The owner is also super sweet! The ambience is very quaint and clean - you are transported into an old school taverna. Highly recommend the zucchini fritters with tzatziki - you won't regret it!!

    This restaurant serves authentic Greek food that reminded me of my home. (8/10) The ambiance is authentic Greek, and the staff is genuine and experienced, having been in the industry for over 30 years. From the atmosphere to the staff's kindness, and the great tasting dishes, eating here was a great experience.

    Pic 1 as advertised Pic 2 reality Not juicy and yummy at all. Tasted liked dried grizzle if that's possible. 40 yrs in astoria never saw chicken looking like this. Place is old and dirty.

    Legitimate Greek Food. The waitress recommended the lamb guvecci. The signaling with honey was fantastic!!

    I wish I could go back to this place every day. This food was incredible, best octopus I've had in years. The chicken souvlaki was amazing, I want to go back to try everything on the menu. Service was 100000/10. I felt like I was back in Greece, with Greek music playing in the background. Very relaxed atmosphere. Come here if you want authentic Greek food.

    This place is delightful! Very fresh Greek food. I ordered takeout with my family and it was seamless. The food was prepared quickly. I haven't been to Greece so I can't speak to the authenticity but it feel authentic to me. For what it's worth.

    My brother's girlfriend lives close by so we had an early dinner at Gregory's last week after exploring Astoria some. It's a small place with mostly outside seating and was full by 5:45, so I can envision waits during prime hours. The service was punctual and friendly enough and everything came out fairly quickly. We got a smattering of dishes to share and almost all were fantastic, including 1. Cold potato and garlic dip -- kind of bizarre in that it was basically cold mashed potatoes but it was really tasty; 2. Lemon potatoes -- basic but hearty and delicious; 3. Crab cakes -- a little too much filler but not bad and a good portion for the price; 4. Feta and red pepper dip -- a bit bland as the feta overwhelmed; 5. Cabbage salad -- basically a vinegar-based coleslaw but very tasty And 6. Greek salad with grilled chicken -- my brother's girlfriend asked for this special and apparently they make it for her often. She loved it Definitely will return if I'm craving potatoes in Astoria

    The best way to enjoy a certain type of cuisine is go OVER INDULGE. I took my own advise and sat feasting for over an hour ! The food at Gregory's 26 Corner Tavern is so authentic I actually felt like I was eating in a restaurant in Greece . The portions are hearty and tasty . The service is attentive . The food absolutely delicious and freshly made . It is a hidden gem in Astoria , one that must be found by anyone looking for a fulfilling meal . Great indoor and outdoor seating availability. Parking great for Astoria also!

    Fried Smelts

    This place is all about vibes. Super laidback and I felt like I'm eating at someone's home. Ordered smelts, octopus and dips. tzatziki dip is on point, fresh ingredients with the cold cucumber strips. Octopus grilled without overcook and yet the tentacles are so crispy. Smelts are a good snack. Service is good and quite attentive.

    Ive been to Gregory's before and had an amazing experience so I decided to place an order for Greek Easter with Gregory's instead of Stamatis where we usually have our Easter catered . Sadly it was a major disappointment, I ordered three orders of lamb ,which I was told each order of lamb comes with a serving lemon potatoes , when I received the order I received ONE small size of lemon potatoes that was smaller than a normal size order which is $8 and plentiful. Besides the fact the potatoes were very over cooked and stale, they weren't enough to cater for the amount of people I had on Easter being that I ordered THREE orders of lamb and they said each order of lamb comes with order of potatoes . The lamb itself was chewy and dry ,no flavor at all and mostly bone so not enough meat for $40 a serving, instead of giving me a tray per each order of lamb , they added a tray of artichokes and peas , did I ask for that ? It's great if that was added on the side of everything else but it wasn't... it seems it was added instead of the potatoes but I planned my catering based on lamb and lemon potatoes . I'm extremely disappointed as I only have had great experiences here before , but to screw up this badly on a major Greek holiday ,there is no excuse !!! Maybe they should be more clear on the catering menu

    Warning: If you order the special, ask how much it is. My swordfish was $48, I thought that was high for a low-key neighborhood tavern.

    Wait time long. Nowhere to wait. Concussion about the ticket system. One host say go ahead the other say wait. Food good but pricey.

    My parents and I had an amazing first visit to Taverna Kyclades tonight. Everything we drank and…read moreate was delicious - from the wine, to the Greek salad, to the saganaki, to the gorgeously grilled seafood. Most importantly, we received exceptional service all-around. The hostess team was super accommodating with our timing (thank you for pushing us back in the line!!), and our server - Juliette - was an absolute angel. She took amazing care of us and made our first time at the restaurant so special I adore her. Please take care of that queen, management!!! Thank you Juliette & team for a beautiful dining experience!!!! Xoxoxo

    I came on a Saturday night and it was BUSY! We were only a party of 2, and luckily there was a…read moreseating available at the bar with full menu service. If we wanted to get a table in the main dining room, the wait was estimated to be over 2 hours (we went around 8pm), so I highly recommend making a reservation if you plan to go. The staff were very quick with service and very friendly. We were offered toasty bread with some lemon and an olive spread while we waited for our food (which also came out super quick!). We ordered the octopus and lamb chops. The octopus was incredibly tender, the meat was very soft - I personally would've preferred a little more bite to it, but it still tasted good. The lamb chops were flavorful. The medium here is on par with medium rare at most other places, and one of our pieces was borderline rare. At the end of the meal we were also offered complementary desert, which was a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed our meal overall, but just know that it's a little on the pricey. The octopus and lamb chops came out to $80~ pre-tax and tip. Would recommend if you're a fan of seafood!

    There are plenty of seafood restaurants in Astoria that has this ordering style where you go up to…read morethe front and you see this fresh selection of seafood and you can order by the weigh/item. The ones we had been to in the past usually allows you to also pick different type of cooking style or seasoning but this place only cooks it their way. It's good for people who are indecisive but disappointing for people who want variety of flavor. They usually have a section of appetizers and drinks you can order on a separate menu as well. The staffs were very low energies when we visited on a weekend night. The overall ambiance and interaction made us feel a little uncomfortable. We ordered: - eggplant dip - fries - Greek salad (large) - cooked fish - calamari - octopus Honestly I was so disappointed with the food. It didn't taste as fresh and was overall too salty. The eggplant dip had a weird taste. Friend fries were not as crispy and unevenly distributed portions of salt. The calamari was nothing special. The fish was okay, and the octopus was so salty we actually sent back the dish. It was very difficult to enjoy it. The staff was so accommodating and actually took the dish off our bill. (Thank you!! - great customer service!). My favorite item was probably the Greek salad, but then again it's hard to mess up a salad. I would say this is my least favorite counter order style seafood restaurant in Astoria. My friend said great things about it prior to my visit and I really wish I would have liked it.
