Cypriot dishes, including enough seafood to feed an army, are the specialty at this enormous Greek restaurant in Astoria.. In Short
With a sprawling, colorful mural across its back wall, this massive Greek restaurant could seat an empire. Hardwood floors and white-clothed tables provide a formal anchor for breezy Mediterranean touches like checkerboard curtains, potted palms and faux-rustic door surrounds. A former chef at Manhattan's Ammos, Christos Christou mixes Cypriot specialties like grilled halloumi cheese, zucchini croquettes and galatoboureko (sweet custard pie) with a seafood-heavy entree list that includes loup de mer, dorado and cod.
