Avlee Greek Kitchen

"Avlee Greek Kitchen is no Taverna Kyclades, but for the price, it’s exactly what it needs to be. For around $20, you can get a platter that comes with pita, two sides, and your choice of protein. You can pick from a bunch of different things like falafel, halloumi, and lamb souvlaki, although we tend to go with the grilled chicken breast skewers (paired with the greek fries). This place is about as casual as it gets, with some homey decor and a handful of small tables, so head over and grab dinner when you’re too lazy to cook." - neha talreja, bryan kim, willa moore, carina finn koeppicus

"Avlee has been serving homey Greek food on Smith Street in Carroll Gardens for several years now. The warmly lit space is small, but getting a seat somehow never seems to be an issue. The menu is full of satisfying Greek favorites, like moussaka (both traditional and vegetarian), whole grilled fish, nearly a dozen salads, and souvlaki platters, which come with your pick of sides like lemon potatoes, gigandes, and spanakorizo. There’s also a cute mini market in the back of the restaurant selling olive oil, soaps, and other Greek products, great for perusing as you wait for takeout, which Avlee also does very well." - Eater Staff
