We celebrated my husband birthday and they went out of their way to make it special. The service was so personal and the atmosphere was so calm and relaxing. The food was well prepared and seasoned authentically. I had filet mignon and it was served exactly as I asked. Try and leave room for dessert as the dessert for 2 was excellent. read more

Delicious food. Very cool place not like a lot of places we've been before. Felt like we got an authentic Turkish experience. Shoutout to our server forget his name but tall guy, you rock. read more

Found Mavi Grill and found limited parking. No street parking so we sat in their lot till someone left...venue entrance run down so be careful. This place must be loved by locals because it was crowded and employees spending time with patrons. Server was friendly but service slow. No wine or beer but Byob! Food was ok but not our cup of tea. We can't recommend nor will we return but if you're craving Turkish try it and make your own judgment... read more

Combo appetizer is excellent. Soups, lentil and egg drop are great too. For dinner we had the special,Two for $59.00. Really nice selection of meats and everything on the platter was amazing. Great value. Service was prompt and excellent. Ambience was unimpressive but comfortable. Would wholeheartedly recommend. We will definitely return. read more

Best humus and gyro and Greek Salad they don't skimp on the pita. Very good soups salads and desserts

Hearty portions and warm service. Tried the adana kebab which was tender and flavorful. I like both the bulgar and rice. The veggies are also well seasoned. The side salad on the dish was a bit strong with the parsley but otherwise good. I liked the starter salad (entrees come with a soup or salad). They gave house pita but wish it was warmed and came with some dip. read more

We went here for lunch with a large party to celebrate my husband's birthday. They could not have been more accommodating. From start to finish, the food was excellent. We shared two platters of the mixed Mezza. The baba ghanouj is among the best I've ever tasted. As where the grape leaves! The "eggplant sauce", which apparently is a house specialty, was something new for us. We all really enjoyed it very much. Entrées varied from falafel, to shrimp, to chicken. There was not a complaint amongst the bunch there was also spinach pie. Our friend said that she wish that the Filo dough was a little bit crispier but otherwise it was really yummy. For dessert they treated the table with baklava, which was to die for. We will definitely be going back! read more

Service is friendly and efficient. They came to the table and checked in on us, and food arrived at a good rate. We had the cold mezze, which came with eggplant, white beans, baba ganoush, and stuffed leaves. It was a good plate. The eggplant was tasty, and the stuffed leaves were good. The hummus had kind of a fruity taste, but it was fine. We had the lemon orzo soup. It was starchy and treasury. The lemon flavor was good, and it was a soothing soup. We also had the borek which was oily but very tasty. It wasn't salty like typical borek and the cheese was creamy and stretchy. The calamari had a good crust but the calamari itself was very small and chewy. Our mains were okay. They were very salty. We had the mixed platter which I don't recommend. It's mainly minced meat and thickly cut gyro meat, meaning the gyro meat was too chunky, definitely cut wrong. There were some whole chicken pieces in the mixed platter and lots of kofta but no lamb pieces or lamb chops like you typically get. I recommend ordering other dishes. We had the lamb adana and special beyti kebab, which were decent. They need to refine their food more and focus on details like mincing their kofta finer, use higher quality meat and not over salt their dishes. Dessert was good and tea was very good. The place is simple and comfortable. It had a homey vibe to it which is nice read more

It was ok ! The Lemon chicken soup had no chicken . The pita bread was ok , I've had better .

The food is always consistently delicious. Our go to for great food! The owners are so nice, make us feel like family.

Bad experience placing an order online for food. After over an hour I got a text message that my order was ready for pick up. I left my dinner guests to get the food. The restaurant was closed. Very embarrassing as I had company that I was serving. I was not treated well by the restaurant staff when I called the next day to try to resolve the problem. Will not be back. read more

This was a nice option for casual dinner close to cedar beach. Most of the entrees come with the choice of soup/salad, though I wasn't a huge fan of either of the soup options. The lemon chicken orzo was a little too heavy on the lemon for my taste. The main dish (iskander kebab) was delicious though. Server was great and the restaurant is clean; there was no wait on a Sunday night. read more

Have always driven past this location and finally stopped in! I ordered the falafel appetizer. Very crunchy outside with a nice green soft inside. It comes with 5 falafel pieces which are fairly large. For my meal, I ordered the Mavi's Mixed Grill (Chicken shish on a skewer, gyro, Kofte, Chicken Adana ,Lamb chops grilled served with veggies, bulgur and rice). This was best for me since I wanted to try a variety of items but couldn't decide on one. It came with a choice of soup or salad. I choose a greek salad which was delicious. The meal was very large I took most of it to-go. I loved every single thing on the platter. The bulgur was well seasoned and added more flavor to every bite. I recommend getting the mixed grill due to the size and choices within it. My friend got the shrimp linguini. Very creamy! read more

We've ordered takeout Greek Salads twice. Both times the food was fresh and delicious. Generous portions. Great service. read more

Second visit, this time with friends. Really cozy place with welcoming vibe. The staff was friendly and efficient.BYOB if you wish, there is no bar. 4 of us had a good meal, and a really nice time. Very casual, and by 7pm every table was filled. By 9pm we were the only table. The Mezze platter of apps was lovely, shrimp shish , Mahi Mahi, lamb, and sea bass all good. The chicken orzo soup was tasty as well. We didn't stay for dessert and turkish coffee. Next time! read more

Amazing flavor in every dish! Best pita and hummus. Love the lamb adona. Falafel are incredible.

I had an appointment out east Friday night. My youngest daughter was coming and this restaurant is just up the street from her house. I'm going back about five years but this was a deli, and not a bad one at that. Well I've learned in life things always change, sometimes for the good and sometimes for the not so good. Let's see. This is Mediterranean food which I'm not crazy about but I can try anything once. The place is very clean and neat. We were the only ones there for a sit down dinner. A few people came in for take out. A pretty extensive menu but I settled on Beyti Lamb. This is ground lamb over a bed of rice and Bulgar. A first for me. Our waiter was very very informative and patient explaining each meal on the menu and any sides that are offered. Overall a fairly nice experience. Not really agreeable to my palate but the restaurant is not to blame for that. I think I will go back and try a chicken dish that they offered. read more

Come here if you want Excellent Mediterranean fare. This is a place to relax and enjoy a celebration meal with friends, or have a simply delicious take out experience. We love the soups. The staff seem caring and always make you feel at home. Kabobs are the best in town and a great variety. Salads are exceptionally satisfying. read more

Delicious Mediterranean cuisine. Friendly efficient staff...love the Mavi delight mixed appetizer, lentil carrot soup and the falafels.

Awesome food, great atmosphere, plentiful portions. Owner/family run. Great find, I'll be back. Fresh high quality food. Friendly service. Go there!! read more

Excellent food very fresh and delicious. Good service and very quaint atmosphere. A definite recommend!

I do not know how I have not left a review for Maci yet. It is one of my favorite restaurants. The falafel pita is the best. The falafel is king and thin - much easier to eat in a pita than typical balls. The babaganoush is also a fam fav, plus all of their other appetizers. You cannot go wrong. The food is always fresh and well seasoned. Staff are fantastic, too. Highly recommend!! read more

Very impressed!! The food the service! I had the Fried Eggplant and a small salad. ..& everything was delicious and portions good. But the hummus was amazing....! A small but very sweet place. I went with two friends and we all loved the food and place... I loved it soo much I did a take out and they did forget the soup sooo I went back the next day and they added a few extras! Cant beat that? !!! I also purchased a very pretty Greek box with jewels and a lid and spoon and gave it to my BFF...she loved it.! read more

Decided to try for dinner, after hearing good things. To start, they are still using paper plates and plastic utensils, which we didn't care for, and later felt it affected portion size. My husband ordered the Kebab Platter for 2, which came with soup or salad and an appetizer. The soup (lemon chicken orzo) was thick, and gloopy and had way too much dill and not 1 piece of chicken. The appetizer was a combination of babaganoush, hummus, caponata, and bean salad. The hummus was very runny, but the flavor was good. The eggplant in the caponata was sweet and good. The babaganoush was good as well. The main course (a mix of meats), my husband's lamb was all dried out. He said the chicken was good. I had the lamb kabob and the lamb was tender, but lacked flavor. I did like the bulgar. It came with baklava, which we didn't bother with. The server was very nice, but considering there was only 3 tables with people, service was slow, it was painful waiting for the check. It looks mostly like a take out place, people were coming and going. For us, the food was edible, not much better and we won't be returning. read more

Truly excellent food in a lovely small dining room with great service. Highly recommend both of the soups, lentil and carrot lemon orzo. Lamb Pita was delicious as were the hummus, baba ghanouj bean salad caponata and stuffed grape leaves (all on one Mavi mega-app). Leave room for the baklava. It is not to be missed. Thanks once again to helping us find this excellent bistro read more

What a little more gem. Went for lunch and when I checked in on Yelp I was provided a $5.00 coupon. We ordered the calamari. While the breading was light and crisp, there was some chewiness. And there were no tentacles, just rings. The garlic aioli dipping sauce was great. Marinara a bit sweet for my taste, but good. I ordered the lamb pita. Tiny, tender chunks of grilled lamb in a pita just like a gyro. Come with the best French fries I have had in a long time. No wine for me today, as Mavi is BYOB...which is great as you can bring whatever you choose and no corking fee. I would recommend! Spoke with my bro and he says the dinners are awesome! Visited for dinner today, 11/13/2019 and the food was excellent. We ordered the appetizer for two delicious hummus, eggplant dip, bean salad, warm dolmates and sauté veg. I also tried falafels, so good! Dinner comes with a choice of soup or salad. Tonight we had the mixed grill for two, so much food we could not eat it all. Metas were awesome, so were the grilled vegetables. Plan to come back soon! read more

Fresh and delicious. Truly authentic food! Good prices as well. Wish I lived a bit closer I'd order from here every day!!! lol

This was such a great lunch find!! The service was fast & the waiter was super nice. I had the falafel pita and it was AMAZING! On top of the usual veggies like tomato & lettuce, there was a delightful sauce that almost tasted like cheese? Whatever it was, WOW. This place is kind of in the middle of nowhere so when we pulled up to what looked like a house, I was suspicious but I had an altogether great experience! If you're in the area and are looking for either Turkish or Mediterranean food, I highly recommend a stop at Mavi! read more

We love the food from this restaurant and the service is impeccable...they go out of their way to accommodate you!! We highly recommend it!!

The lamb gyro are mouth watering and very delicious. The places is very relaxing and soothing environment

A diamond in the rough, definitely worth checking out if you want good Turkish food this is the place to go. Great hummus and other traditional dishes read more

Veggies are outstanding. Grill and tasty. Rice was bland. No added flavor, which was surprising. In the past it has been delish. Bulgar was a bit bland too. Wondering if it was a new chef? Everything is always fresh and tasty read more

Surprisingly this was our first visit to Mavi. As a person who eats out often, loves Mediterranean food, and i worked in Astoria for years and ate excellent Mediterranean all the time- This place was great! Everything we ate was fresh, and had excellent flavor! All of my kids, my husband and myself were surprised at how delicious the food was. Thank you Chef/owner for a wonderful dining experience. Our waiter was wonderful as well as all of his suggestions were excellent! We look forward to dining with you again very soon. read more

My family loved the food! This is a small place, with only one waiter. We had it almost to ourselves, as many choose to take-out. It's BYOB with no corking fee. They no longer use paper plates- that was only during the height of Covid. I highly recommend the Mavi Delight mixed appetizer and the baklava! Also, the salad dressing is amazing. I found Portions to be quite big. They also have a darling fireplace! Only deducted a star for the constant in and out take-out orders and for their wine glasses which were not really wine glasses (but then I'm picky that way). Also, we could have used some music playing. Do go here for great authentic food! read more

Lovely quiet restaurant with great food! The service is always nice and it is a good place to relax and enjoy quiet conversation

Decent gyros love the sauce, I personally like more of the gyro meat however your gyro just meshes together great. TY

Delicious food! We came here for an early dinner and truly what a treat. The staff were all very kind and attentive. Everything was absolutely delicious from the appetizer, entree and to dessert. We will be back! read more

Excellent Mediterranean food, especially the appetizer plater with hummus. I recommend it for take out or a very casual dinner, because the inside is pretty low key. read more
