Avli the little Greek kitchen - Greek restaurant in West Hempstead - 461 Hempstead Turnpike, USA

Wow! The grilled shrimp was unbelievably nice. Perfectly cooked to perfection. Super friendly staff. We like this little Greek restaurant.

The exteriors are welcoming, but the interiors not so much. I had ordered Cauliflower poppers with Marinara sauce. Food tasted okay. It took a while to be served. The quantity is great though! Gave it shot, but would skip it next time.

Friendly staff service made me feel really comfortable to dine in. There are so many variety of food choices there and they all look so good! The food are so delicious and the portion is so big that I was so full after I finish my meal! Would totally come visit again!

The lemon in the potatoes was delicious. The lemon service experience was not. Dined here with my young child on October 4th at about 1pm. The food was good and I've been here several times and the food has been good each time so if you don't care about the service and only care about the food you're good to go and don't need to read further. If you do however care about service you may be in for a rude awakening. They have a sign posted that they pass on credit card charges to their customers (an unfortunate practice favored by many long island restaurants....what's next, charging me for your utility bills?) but that wasn't my issue. I pay in cash when I can to avoid this practice and tried to do so today. I only had a $100 bill (which is a rarity for me) and the girl at the register told me she.could not break the bill. I completely understood and wouldn't hold this against anyone. I produced my credit card and she told me there was nothing she could do about the service charge. I pointed out that she was forcing me to pay with a credit card and that I had offered her cash. She repeated to me she could not break the bill. Again, I said that was fine but the fact that they had no small change was their issue not mine. After a huff, a pout and a death stare she told me she would "waive" the service charge. She then proceeded to drop our lunch plates heavily in front of us and served up enough stink eye to fill a pint glass. I'm sitting with my 6 year old. Please grow up miss. I understand I may be petty in not wanting to subsidize their business costs (you accept credit cards because it brings you more business!) but it's not my issue that you can't break a bill. Treat people with respect. I really don't want my support for your restaurant to come with a side of stink eye. Not sure if I'll be back but if I see this girl at the front again I'll eat elsewhere.

I really don’t understand !! I specifically asked for small pieces of chicken, tomatoes & onions. Those onions are disrespectful lazy person in kitchen Waisted my money.

This is a bowl (large soup) which costs 8 bucks. So what is the small? Total rip off.

We used to like it here, but the quality of the food has gone off a cliff in the last year, and they've significantly raised their prices at the same time. The salmon looks like what you'll find in the freezer at Stop and Shop, and our recent order of Greek Fries was half raw. My falafel also contained a hard, sandy substance that felt like gravel. I don't know if they switched suppliers, or hired new kitchen staff, but we're done here. It's a shame!

My first time having Greek food & this gem did not disappoint. I ordered through Doordash for pick up, & had the restaurant favorite: chicken souvlaki sandwich & paired it with a side of sweet potato fries. They were generous with cutlery and condiments, so I expected the same with the food and it was true. They loaded the souvlaki sandwich with ample amount of chicken, veggies, and sauce. I can see why people say the chicken is dry, but paired with more sauce it’s alright. I’d prefer it more tender to have with the sandwich. Can’t wait to come back!
