This four-meat stunner is accompanied by a surprisingly large salad and a side choice that hopefully will be lemon potatoes. I was unsure why I came here in August and posted only a salad picture. While not on the level of, say, finding a Paul Westerberg rarities CD, I was glad to discover there was a combo photo in the vault. If you're only opting for one meat, my favorite is the beef and lamb gyro. I enjoyed the service as well as the seasonal sidewalk dining option.

Also I had asked for coffee, which took forever to come out. When I got it, it was a small espresso cup and cold. I asked her to re-heat it and she said yes and mentioned that she was preoccupied so that's why it got cold. I was a bit frustrated because the restaurant was quite empty. Also the prices were actually a bit on the expensive side for a mom and pop shop. The bill was handwritten rather than printed, which made it a bit hard to read. Overall, I think if the prices were cheaper I could justify it, but I don't think I'd come back

I came in for one thing and left with a feast because everything looked amazing! The lentil soup, lamb gyro, and chicken gyro are incredible, super fresh, and perfectly packaged to go. The kitchen and restroom are also spotlessly clean. The owner even recommended I check out Roosevelt Island since I'm new to the area. My family and I went, and it was such a beautiful, unforgettable experience. We never would have known about the island if we hadn't come here! This spot deserves way more recognition! Highly recommend!

I subtracted a star (maybe I should've subtracted more?) for service, because I have never felt so rushed during a meal. We sat down and immediately a waiter came to take our order. We are not regulars, didn't even get a chance to look. When the food came (pretty quickly), he practically threw the plates in front of us. Then he tried to take the dishes away THREE DIFFERENT TIMES when it was very obvious we were not done. (We'd been there barely 30 minutes at this point because I was parked at a meter and was keeping my eye on the clock). The restaurant was half empty for dinner so no one was waiting for our table. I don't know why they were in such a hurry for us to leave. As amazing as the food was, my experience was so bad that I will not be coming back. Maybe this should've been 3.5 stars...

To start we ordered: - fried calamari - light, crispy, and seasoned batter. The smell drew you in for more - and it was so delicious. - keftedakia (greek meatballs) - just like my grandma made with a nice char crunch on the outside. Savory and scrumptious with, I think, a hint if mint. Yummy! -kolokithokeftedes (zucchini fritters) - my veggies for the night. Tasty, little zucchini meatless meatballs. -pork tigania - OMG mouthwatering goodness. The wine sauce was so delicious with the cubed pork and herbs. We were mostly full from the apps, because they were rather large portions for sharing - which in my book is great, however we still ordered entrees: - grilled shrimp - with a light olive oil and lemon sauce or maybe a lemon flavored olive oil. Whichever olive oil they used is exceptional - not heavy but still flavorful, the perfect complement to the delectable shrimp. Lamb chops -grilled to perfection and seasoned appropriately. Grilled chicken thighs - deliciously seasoned and tender. For sides we all chose the lemon potatoes. The potatoes were oozing lemon flavor with every bite, some of the best lemon potatoes I have ever had and I have been to most of the Greek restos in Astoria. We were all pleasantly surprised with what we ordered and were happy to have leftovers to feat on the next day. This is what greek food should taste like, well seasoned and cook to perfection. Food was fresh, and tasted like it was made with love. I can't wait to go back and order some more food with friends. Thank you for the wonderful service and exceptional food. I had a great birthday

The environs are humble and remind one of the second-rate seafood restaurants in the summer vacation hotspots along the Aegean. The saganaki was the best thing we ordered, and is a 5-star dish. It had the perfect amount of char, and with a healthy squeeze of lemon, made for a rather decadent bite. The gigante beans were a bit plain, and the lemon potatoes had a wonderful soft texture, but the spice mix didn't hit the right notes for me. A decent option if you want to avoid the lines at the more well-known Astoria options.

The moment you walk in, you feel the warmth -- everyone who works here is genuinely friendly, like they're welcoming you into their home. The food was outstanding. We ordered the mixed grill platter with juicy gyro, perfectly charred souvlaki, and those addictive roasted potatoes. The grilled octopus was tender with the perfect char, the whole fish was flaky and bright with lemon, and the spanakopita? Flaky, cheesy, and just like homemade. Every single bite tasted fresh and full of love. It genuinely felt like we were eating at our Greek grandma's table. The flavors, the portions, the heart -- everything was perfect. This is the real deal, the kind of neighborhood gem you want to keep coming back to. If you're in the area and craving authentic Greek food made with care, come here. You'll leave happy and full.

The meatballs were so flavorful. Amazingly delicious. The texture was a delight. Crunchy outer layer that made way for a nice moist filling. I added a bit of lemon for some extra oomph and it was so good but it doesn't need it. They hold up on their own. Got a greek salad to accompany my appetizer and it was your usual Greek salad. Tasty. Nothing extraordinary but delicious nonetheless. Tzatziki and a side of pita. Very good. Was good. A little pricy. This cost over $30. Maybe I should've gotten the fries and gave them to the fam instead because there was no adjustments made. My fault. Cards accepted. Service was very attentive and I didn't have to wait long. I'd like to go back and try more.
