I this place so much! The owner Mike and his staff are always incredibly helpful and willing to step in and assist whenever I'm hosting an event and reserving the back area. My family and I have hosted wedding events and many birthdays here and we will most likely be back again! Thank you to Marijana for helping during our most recent event. I was running behind schedule and she stepped in to help me decorate the table. Throughout the event, she was always checking in with me about what time to bring out each course of the meal, when to bring out the cake, if we needed the AC adjusted and if anyone needed drinks. It was so thoughtful and I really appreciated how attentive she was! The food is delicious! I especially love the cevapi. The mixed grill platter was really good and the Shopska salad with feta cheese was perfect! If you're hosting an event and need a place for approximately 30-40 people, this is your place. read more

Every dish tasted just like a comforting, delicious homemade meal, and the friendly atmosphere made us feel right at home. Our polite server Marijana gave us excellent recommendations for both the dish of the day and the perfect wine pairing--we will absolutely be back! Dani M. read more

We came here for a last minute dinner on a Friday evening - no reservations needed. They have a great happy hour day from 5-7pm discounts on alcohol and food. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend the cevapi and roasted peppers. The staff was great and food came quickly. Will be back!! read more

Mimoza Restaurant & Lounge - Cevapi Asparagus Fries Flia Roasted Peppers - Modern European Near Me - Astoria, New York

Came here for a concert and it was an absolute amazing time! We got the Mimoza Mix Grilled Platter and then a few picks of their cocktail menu. The staff were super friendly and made sure to check on us frequently. A great atmosphere and money well spent. read more

They have some outdoor seating, but seems to be a lot of smokers, so be aware of that. The ambiance inside was nice, music wasn't too loud. The big screen was a little distracting, but the inside is more spacious towards the back. They gave us free bread which was warm and soft. We got so much food that we ended taking it most to go. The 2 of us got the mixed grill for 2 and the feta burek. The burek is divine, and the feta version was great. I'd be willing to try the Spinach and beef versions too. The mixed grill was mixed haha. The cevapi and the 'flat meatballs' were the best, but the sausage one was tough and my least favorite. The fries were good too. We got the mimoza cake which tasted homemade and decent but not a must get. Another review mentioned a 4% credit card fee. This wasn't disclosed on the receipt, but I paid in cash just in case. read more

Delicious food and great ambience. Jelena was very kind and friendly as always. Would recommend Mimoza to anyone that loves good food!!

Amazing service, food is fresh from oven. Service is phenomenal and the portions are so generous that we can not finish everything. We were party of 10people and everyone was amazed by the food and the service. Hard to please 10people but in Mimoza its possible. read more

Updating this review to reflect that I came back 3 years later and I gave this restaurant another shot. I'm very glad that I did. I must say that I was very impressed! They've completely transformed the food and even expanded the menu. Our server, Yelena, was very kind and attentive to our needs. The place was packed and we all ate very happy :) Great for groups and a night out with friends. To start off our dinner, my mom and I ordered the roasted red peppers. It came with a very delicious cream sauce and fresh warm bread on the side. The peppers were roasted perfectly and completed the sauce very well. They even offered more bread when the rest of our food came! Afterwards, we ordered the beef burek, sarma, and cevapi. All of these dishes were super and I would highly recommend. Great portions that can easily be shared with a few people. The burek filo dough was so buttery and flaky. Very generous with the meat filling. The meat was very flavorful and well-seasoned. Sarma was stuffed generously with the rice and meat. I also loved the mashed potatoes that came in the sarma. Cevapi was similar to other cevapi that I've had in the Balkans and very tender. For dessert, we reordered the Tres Leches and we saw a major improvement. The cake was topped with a nice caramel layer and soaked full of milk. And it was sweetened just right. I'll definitely be ordering this again and explore more of the menu! There's not too many quality Balkan restaurants around these days but Mimoza Restaurant is now #1 on my list. You've become my new favorite Balkan restaurant in Astoria and NYC!! Reasonably priced and I can't wait to go back. read more

Came through on a Friday night out to grab a bite and enjoy a few drinks. It was empty but that didn't stop us, plus the place looks very nice inside out. This review is based on small food portion and lack of hospitality. You know that feeling you get when you go out to eat somewhere new and feel invited and welcomed by everyone in there? Yeah, not here, workers seemed cold and uninterested, plus the small food portions and a strawberry mule that was weaker than a motts apple juice. Overall; you be the judge and visit, just not a place I'd revisit. read more

My sister booked the private event area in the back of the restaurant for her small wedding celebration and it was the best decision she made! Everything about the restaurant was great - the communication with the owner Mike prior to the event - the help he provided made the process so smooth. On the day of the event, they had the tables in the back set up in the way we wanted them to be for the event and we got to decorating. It's nice because there's also a small outdoor area too which is a plus. We had a mix of appetizers, mixed grills and drinks. The appetizers were so delicious (cabbage salad highly recommend!). The mixed grill was good too. Can't say much about the portion size for an individual since we had enough for our group of 35 but 100% shareable. The two people that also made the event run as smoothly as possible were Senad and Jelena- they made sure each one of the 35 guests were taken care of and all their requests were attended to! Their happy and welcoming spirits made the entire experience better. I've been back at Mimoza for a light dinner or just for drinks as well and always had a good time. I'd definitely check it out - especially if you're looking for some great balkan food :) read more

One of those places you tend to gatekeep... this Balkan restaurant in Astoria is easily overlooked by their humble exterior. Inside, I always order European cabbage rolls with mashed potatoes that taste like the ones a grandma made for me in Poland. Their rib eye steak is so tender I almost cried the first time I had it and their mixed grill was easily top 5 best kebab/bbq meat I've had ever.Prices are onpar with other restaurants on the block and with the amount of food you're getting with the mixed grill it's easy shared with 2. read more

Wonderful food and service. It is always a pleasure coming here. They are like family. I've tried various menu options here and not been disappointed read more

Tried this place with my friend for an early outdoor dinner a few days ago. What a great spot right on 30th Ave! I'm not going to lie, I was a bit skeptical because this place gives off more of a nightclub/lounge-y vibe when you pass by (and it's also in the name, ha). But then I realized it's just the Balkan way of expressing that you can go there at any hour of the day and have a good time. :) The crowd here too seems to mostly be from the Balkans too, so I think that's always a good sign. The waiter was very friendly and cheerful, and he told us that they served pan-Balkan food, with a focus on Montenegrin food. My friend and I each got drinks (note: $5 mimosas!), and we split the "fli" (a multi-layered crepe like dish that comes with feta cheese and pickles...sounds like a strange combo if you've never had it, but it really works!), a sopska salad (tomato, cucumber, peppers, feta cheese, olive oil, and vinegar - nicely done), and sarma (sour cabbage stuffed with ground beef and rice, and paired with mashed potatoes). They also gave us - and refilled! - warm bread...so perfect with the sarma. Everything was quite good and filling. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Mimoza Restaurant & Lounge - Recommend from Jelena this dish is delicious. - Modern European Near Me - Astoria, New York

One of the best new lounges in Astoria -Mimoza is a southern European/Balkan gastropub and lounge that opened up in the late spring of 2022. I ordered the Momoza special with chicken and mushroom in a wine source, followed by coffee and tiramisu. Everything was delicious. Service was outstanding, with very helpful management and employees. Mimoza took over the old Tacostoria restaurant while keeping some of the existing features, such as the bar. They have a backspace at the rear of the lounge, perfect for summer events. At the bar, they have a large TV for sporting events. Overall, an outstanding experience. I will be back. Highly recommended! read more

This place is fairly new and i've been wanting to try this place. Finally we tried it today, I only had an hour to spend time with my friend. They had this mix grill meat supposedly for 1 person for $25. Another option is for 2 people for $50. We decided to share the one that's good for 1 person and they're very very generous with the serving. At first look, it looks dry so we asked for sauce but it's definitely delicious, flavorful and very tender. It's my first time trying Balkan food and I'm obssessed. I wish I can name all the meat that comes in the plate- they have veal, lamb, burger i believe, the chicken thigh is very juicy. On top of that they have $5 mimosas that comes with different flavors- Strawberry, orange and something else and they have $10 margaritas Alex took care of us, he's very patient, attentive. Even when we sat outside he kept checking on us and attending to all our needs. I will definitely come back. It's good to support new and small businesses in Astoria read more

I was there with a large group last weekend. Astoria has quite a few Eastern European restaurants that I like, so I wasn't super excited about seeing another one..., until I tried the food. I tried fried calamari, the meat and cheese board, and the chicken soup. It's hard to find chicken soup that tastes like your mom made it; well, this one achieved that level of goodness. The stock, the amount of chicken, the veggies...everything was perfection. The calamari and the meat and cheese were also great. I didn't try anything else, but I saw the meat burek and cevapi that others ordered. So I already know what I'm getting next time. I left the restaurant thinking, "When the food is this good, another Eastern European restaurant is quite welcome on Astoria." Now the service... The owner personally came and greeted us. He helped some of us pick wines. He was there to ask how my soup was and made sure to say bye when I was leaving. The server was kind, positive, and quick. So they get a five star for service as well. Some restaurants are great when they first open, and then they let it go after a while. I really hope this doesn't happen to Mimoza because they are perfect the the way they are. read more

I would say just a couple of words, this is an amazing experience that we had in this beautiful restaurant, outstanding service, best food in nyc and drinks with a taste of welcome.

Delicious Balkan comfort food. Seasoned well. Good portions. Very attentive service. I went here on a Friday night. The place was packed. Clearly with so many other Balkan restaurants closing or of mediocre quality, Mimoza has grabbed all the patrons. They're worthy of multiple visits. I recommend the burek, cevape, and stuffed cabbage. read more

Although I went with a Groupon, I was treated very well. The entire staff is not only courteous, but they are also very educated. Some people are falsely ingratiating just for the sake of maintaining a business, but here there is an abundance of interpersonal intelligence, poise and anything but stuffy decorum. The pepper appetizer was lovely, light and never overly sweet or salty. When you do eat as much as before, your body identifies fat and grease with more efficiency. In this case, the mixed grill was fascinating. I could not find any skin, membrane, fat or menisci. They clearly have a butcher who knows how to cut properly, and the meats were expertly cooked. Further, even the fries were not impregnated in oil. I would venture to say they even seemed baked although they were fried. The Merlot wine from Montenegro was also one of the most delicious I have tried. The servers are warm, classy and sincerely friendly. My heartfelt gratitude. read more

Fantastic experience at Mimoza lounge. Food was authentic Balkan and amazing! We had roasted peppers, Cevapi, Burek(cheese, meat, spinach), torator yogurt to dip everything. Yum! The burek was the highlight..The style is a mix of traditional burek pie and spiral shaped pite. Everything Certainly tasted fresh. The burek especially didn't not seem to be reheated as is commonly done at other locations. Tried the house cocktails. Good summer drinks. Oh and the bread came out hot, so good! Great service and vibe! Best NY Balkan dining experience to date! Wish we had room to try everything else on huge menu. Will definitely be back. read more
