Taverna Kyclades - Greek restaurant in Queens - 36-01 Ditmars Blvd, USA

If you want authentic and delicious Greek food, then you need to come here. Everything on the menu is amazing, and the hospitality is always spot on! You will receive complementary bread for the table when you arrive and before you depart they give you complementary dessert. Their seafood is some of the freshest I have ever had in my life, and we travel a ton for food so that means a lot! Their octopus is my favorite dish along with the kyclades platter! Their lamb is delicious too. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu!! We have been coming here as a family for 10+ years, it use to be my parents go to spot before my dad passed. My mother is very hard to please when it comes to restaurant, but she loves this place. She always enjoys the food here, and I have never heard her complain! This place is always packed, so you know they are doing something right! They have a small bar, outdoor seating and there is street parking if you’re driving in. 10/10 recommend!!

What to say about this place!!!!!! For many many years they keep their standard of fresh seafood that is prepared in a simple Greek style but oh so delicious. Over and over again it makes me happy when I get there and eat….from the grilled or fried calamari and amazing octopus to whole red snapper or branzino, and don’t forget the grilled shrimp… Their traditional salad is a must too…. I would say one of the best seafood places in NYC not only Astoria. Love it ❤️

Decent food. Nothing crazy. Really good grilled chicken. Lemon potatoes have really good flavor but were cooked too much. Octopus was ok. Salmon was really good. Rice was somewhat bland.

First time trying this well-known Greek restaurant. Overall is great. Only concerned is the salmon steak is little salty and it has bones. Not recommended for kids. But grilled octopus, Greek salad and lamp chops are really tasty. I will definitely go back.

Great food, great service, great people. It is a bit on the loud side with the music and conversations. Nothing unmanageable though. Might be a bit of a wait, but you can leave your number with them if you want to walk around. Highly recommend visiting at least once.

I would give 10 for service! Guys, I haven’t received such hospitality in NYC ever. Very attentive, kind and friendly. Yes, they were all very kind. We dined with kids, and all the staff was so patient and mindful about kids. Besides that, water was just appearing in glasses very magically. Our table was always cleaned. Food was great! We had grilled calamari, grilled octopus and fried smelt. Everything was really exquisite! Kids shared pasta, the portion was very big and had lots of seafood there. They loved it! Thank you guys, I really cannot wait to come back! I would also like to mention our server, Juliette, who was taking care of us, thank you!

I loved loved this place!!! It was a very busy Monday (Labour Day weekend) but we managed to grab a table inside. Although the place was so busy I loved the atmosphere! Your mouth will just start watering after seeing the awesome wait staff walk by with all the food! We wanted to have a light lunch so we decided to share a Greek salad, grilled calamari and the chicken kabob, the portions are so big that it didn’t feel like a light lunch after all. The food was delicious, fresh and super tasty. Our waiter was great, the whole staff was, in fact, friendly and courteous! They seem to have a lot of regulars, which always speaks great of a restaurant! I can’t wait to come back and try other items from the menu such as the whole fish and octopus!

This place is an authentic Greek restaurant with Greek culture. Κλαίρη was amazing! She welcomed us with the best service. It was my first time whilst my friend who is Greek wanted me to see “Greece in New York” and it didn’t disappoint. Food is shareable when you order it. We ordered 4 appetizers. Very much European style. This restaurant always has a wait time for a good reason. 99 percent of the food is amazing. We have to keep coming back to keep trying everything. You’ll love this place if you like FOOD! 💙
