Astoria's Best Lemon Potatoes and Greek Seafood

by Norma S

I always wanted to try Taverna Kyclades but there was always a line. I finally was determined to wait and see what everyone was waiting for? I have to say the line moved very quick. I was surpirsed with the fast service for such a buzy place. But what I really really love where there Lemon Potatoes. Out of this world!!!!!!!!!. The grilled salmon was perfect and the protions were huge. the waitress recomneded a perfect Greek wine to match and I was set.I left so full and was glad I tried Taverna Kyclades. Will be back again.

• Pros: Large portions,Great food and resonable prices
• Cons: Only that there is a line to get in but it moves fast

I'd put 10 stars if they'd let me

by parisgreen04

Go for an early brunch or a weekday dinner. Weekends you'll end up waiting 2 hours for dinner. The food is amazingly fresh and great.

• Pros: Fresh!,
• Cons: LONG LINES

fresh fish

by tsiril

Attentive and friendly service and whatever you order will be fresh, but some things stood out way beyond the others. So what to order: fried zucchini and squash with really great garlic potatoes, fried Greek cheese, and a fish called whiting. Yes there is a fish called whiting and it is absolutely great.

• Pros: great fresh fish and star appetizers
• Cons: side dishes not great

Excellent!

by CSMobileUser

I brought my guests there all the way from manhattan and we had grilled seabass as a main dish. It was very delisious. Their peasant salad was very fresh. The calamari was so nice and crispy but sauce could be better. I loved it a lot. Everybody must try it!

Good Wholesome Greek Food

by southoftheborder89

Came here for dinner on Valentines Day with my loved one. We both enjoyed the appetizers and our meals. Prices were fairly reasonably, service was ok. Will try this place on another quieter night.. hopefully service will improve. Overall not a bad place.

fresh and tasty seafood

by gurjak

I was there with my husband on Monday night and the place was packed.So being in restaurant business for a quiet while we know that it must be something in this place that attracts customers.We were seated promptly and we ordered grilled octopus which was ok,grilled sardines and calamari-they were very tender,fresh and soft.Food was really good and prices are also reasonable.Service of course could be better.Our waiter was unattentive,rude and unprofessional.Even in diners they serve better.But the remaining staff seemed very nice and place has very charming owner

I will recommend this place if u like seafood and greek cuisine.just dont expect too much from service and ambience because it's a local restaurant that offers you a good food for a good price.

• Pros: food ,especially seafood.
• Cons: service

Some Things Great, Some So-So

by dantwo

I've been going to Taverna Kyclades off and on for several years now and while the quality of the seafood has remained excellent, the rest of the menu is just ok. Coupled with the wait time (don't even bother on a Friday or Saturday night) and the service (which is either good or horrible - a BIG miss with one waitress in particular) it's just not worth it anymore. It's Astoria, there are plenty of other Greek restaurants around.

• Pros: Seafood
• Cons: Wait, Service

Excellent Greek Food and THE BEST GALAKTOBOUREKO I've ever had...

by AthenaK

While there always seems to be a line to get in... what you get is well worth the wait! There's a line for a reason... people know good food when then find it. The seafood dishes have consistantly been full of flavor and the souvlakia and biftekia (greek burgers) are sooo good! It's so hard to choose something from the menu. Even the Greek salad tastes authentic... takes me back to my grandma's house. I don't know what they do but everything always tastes great. And i can't stress enough how good the galaktoboureko dessert is. No diet is worth skipping this delicious treat. I've joked about ordering trays of it for the house! You will definitely be pleased with your meal at this restaurant.

• Pros: the food is always good and the Galaktoboureko is AMAZING.
• Cons: sometimes the wait to get a table.
