"Outdoor dining isn’t a new concept for this Greek restaurant on Broadway - they have it every year. Their patio area is currently open with herb planters and spaced-out tables for you to eat citrusy octopus with tomatoes, capers, and onions on top, and some fried and sweet saganaki triangles that we’d like for our next birthday cake. They’re even taking reservations in case you want to plan ahead." - hannah albertine
"Aliada’s menu is full of pretty typical Greek specialties. There’s an incredibly soft and citrus-y octopus dish with tomatoes, caper berries, and onions on top, and some fried and sweet saganaki triangles that we’d like for our next birthday cake. This Astoria spot is the sort of comfortable, laid-back place where you could bring your entire family or someone you hope to one day convince to meet your entire family. There’s a great patio area out front with herb planters everywhere, and inside, there are bowls of tomatoes sitting around just for fun." - Hannah Albertine, Bryan Kim, Neha Talreja, Carina Finn Koeppicus
"Aliada’s street structure is so nice only the cold and rain will have you missing the indoors. Rattan pendant lights hang from the white wood ceiling, and green shrubs line the perimeter, creating a barrier between the dining space and street traffic. Upon sitting, servers bring out warm pita and yellow split peas, which you can follow up with other Greek and Cypriot classics like grilled octopus, sheftalia, and whole fish preparations. Either of the mixed meat and seafood platters showcase what the restaurant does best." - Caroline Shin
"Aliada makes great Greek salads, dips, and whole grilled fish, so if you’re looking to eat a healthy meal that’s more flavorful than the steel cut oats in your kitchen cabinet, this Astoria spot works perfectly. They’ve also got tons of vegetarian options like falafel and spanakopita available for takeout and delivery." - Hannah Albertine, Nikko Duren
