The food was an easy 10/10--incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The seafood was tender and packed with flavor, especially paired with that creamy, savory sauce and fresh herbs. The grilled skewers were equally impressive--juicy, perfectly seasoned, and nicely charred. Everything tasted fresh without being overly heavy, and the flavors really came through in every bite. The ambiance was just right--warm, comfortable, and inviting without feeling too loud or overwhelming. It's the kind of place where you can actually relax, enjoy your meal, and take your time. The service was excellent, our waiter was accommodating and very friendly. Everything came out looking beautiful, from the fresh lemon and herbs to the perfectly grilled meats and seafood. You definitely eat with your eyes first here! Maria's Mediterranean is officially on my list of Bayside spots worth coming back to. Fresh food, great flavor, beautiful presentation, and a lovely atmosphere--what more could you ask for?

The phyllo dough was crisp and golden and the spinach and feta filling was creamy, tangy, and full of flavor. It was a beautiful taste of the Mediterranean and our guests loved it. I am so thankful to local businesses like Maria's for supporting The Center for the Women of New York and the work we do. They genuinely care about this community. If you are craving authentic Mediterranean food, give them a visit. You will be so glad you did.

The service was still good, and the ambiance is bright and welcoming, which I appreciated. The gyro itself was just okay this time, nothing too memorable. The fries were good definitely needed some salt, but that's just my personal preference. The chicken skewer was solid and probably the highlight of the meal. My biggest issue was the Greek salad. It was mostly cucumbers, and the feta cheese had a really strange flavor. I'm not sure what brand they use, but I've never tasted feta like that before, and not in a good way. It completely threw me off. That experience alone was enough to turn me away. I think I'll stick with the pricier Greek spots that I know are more consistent.

My husband and I love Greek Food and when we are in Bayside, we always head over to Avli for lunch…read moreor dinner. The food and service are consistently good and there are several options for seating. We prefer the booths in the front but there is a lovely dining room in the back and outdoor seating in a tree lined patio. Since it was Thursday afternoon, we ordered from the Lunch Specials. I had a Large Greek salad with grilled chicken and my husband had the Gyro Platter with salad and lemon potatoes. You can also choose rice or french fries, if you prefer. My salad comes with a huge piece of Feta on top, which I love. I usually crumble it over the salad. Oil and Red Wine vinegar is always on the table which you can use on your salad or your entree. The meals come with warm pita and the best tzatziki sauce around. We go to a lot of Greek restaurants and IMO, they have the best sauce because it is thick not watery like other places. We highly recommend you try Avli for a delicious Greek meal.

It was (and still is) one of the very few non-Chinese restaurants in the area. I used to walk past this restaurant all the time. You could see them grilling all sorts of kebabs by the window. People used to just stop and gaze into their window. The smell of those kebabs just made you drool! Well, I tried their food one day and I've been hooked ever since. Phenomenal food here!! I credit my love for Brown Basmati Rice to Kabul Kebab House, since I tried it for the first time there! They also have a sister restaurant in Westbury, Long Island.

Came here on a Friday evening for dinner with family. Overall, food was 3.5 but the meat platter…read moredish was a solid 4/5. The mixed grill came with lamb chops, bifteki, chicken breast and loukaniko - a type of sausage. As someone who doesn't eat lamb or like the taste of it, I'm surprised to say that these lamb chops were delicious. I'd say this restaurant does their grilled meats very well. The dips were pretty standard to other Greek restaurants, although I do feel this place gave a little less! Overall, the food was generally good (3.5/5). Get their meat platter or try the lamb chops. Service was attentive. This restaurant is a bit far for me, but if you're in the neighborhood, it's worth checking it out for their grilled meats!

My wife and I made reservations at this restaurant for Mother's Day around 1pm, so we could take my…read moremother-in-law to celebrate. When we called to make reservations, we were told that they *usually* serve brunch (i.e., breakfast food) on Saturdays and Sundays, but they would not be doing so on Mother's Day because... well, Mother's Day. My mother-in-law doesn't like eggs, so totally fine! We proceeded with excitement. When we drove up we realized it was right next door to Greek Family Kitchen on Union Turnpike; a restaurant we've been to many, many times. It turns out that this restaurant is by the same owners. This was promising news, as we've always loved the food there! We were initially seated at a table at the front half of the restaurant, but another (very large) party was seated next to us and one of the children was watching cartoons loudly on an iPad with no headphones, so we asked if we could be moved outside or to the other end of the restaurant so we wouldn't have to be near the untenable racket. The staff was very kind and understanding, and moved us to the patio. There was a small hiccup with service, in that we were given a warm bottle of rosé -- I've worked service industry before, and I know how to chill a bottle in about five minutes (the old "spin it in the ice bucket with water" trick). I also know you shouldn't put a warm bottle of white or rosé wine at the table in front of a customer. The bottle should've been chilled in the kitchen, the wait station or behind the bar before it was taken to our table. But this is really a small matter -- not even worthy of docking half a star. We ordered zucchini chips, saganaki and a caesar salad to start -- splitting all. Delicious! We knew the dining experience would be elevated compared to the sister restaurant next door just by glancing around the dining room, but the food told us immediately that we were in for an upscale experience that rivaled the food we've always loved at the more down-home Greek Family Kitchen. Our mains arrived shortly thereafter (the Linguini Puttanesca and the Pear & Gorgonzola Ravioli) and did not disappoint. The food was light but also satisfying. Of course we sprang for dessert, too (it was Mother's Day, after all!). We got the Dubai Chocolate, which was rich but light all at the same time, replete with a snaking line of chocolate sauce across the plate which was interrupted at intervals with sprinklings of edible gold. Couldn't have been more pleased with what turned out to be a fantastically appropriate Mother's Day locale. We will definitely be returning!
