5 /5 Zach Xue: This might be my favorite restaurant Ive been to this year. My parents and I came here as an early birthday lunch for me, and I know we all like Greek / Mediterranean food, so I knew it would be good - but it honestly blew my expectations completely out of the water.
We made a reservation, which was not necessary in hindsight, for Saturday lunch in the indoor garden. It was super picturesque and a total vibe on this chill fall day. Everything was such a vibe, you can tell they really put a lot of effort into making the space seem as tropical and comfortable as possible.
They came out with free bread and a spicy olive oil, which was unlimited as well. We got the shrimp with feta and tomato sauce as an appetizer and oh my god - I am still thinking about that sauce today. It was addictive, I was literally eating it by itself, it was that good. For our mains, I got the Arni - a braised lamb dish with lemon coated potatoes. The lamb was great, not the best Ive ever had but still pretty juicy and flavorful. The potatoes however, those were the star of the show. Super soft and the lemon flavor really stood out to me.
At the end, they gave each of us a complimentary orange dessert, super tart and the vanilla cream on top perfectly complimented the sweet orange flavor of the dessert itself. They do this for every customer as a way of saying thank you. Truly incredible hospitality, this is how you keep customers coming back and becoming a part of the community. A true gem in Astoria, please come check them out if you havent already.
