Nisi Estiatorio

OK, I have to say the food was absolutely delicious. We randomly just walked into this place so my husband and I could have a romantic dinner. I was trying to find a different place and somehow we end up here. I wanted to go to this other Greek restaurant, but I’m glad that we walked in here and I enjoyed my meal so much. We actually got this deal where you get soup salad and then you get an entrée and then a dessert. Totally worth the price I feel like for the experience, beautiful little spot.

Excellent service and delicious food. The three-course prix fixe lunch is well priced. The fish was very fresh, and the halloumi cheese was authentic. Maria was our server, and she was wonderful. Thank you!

An amazing spot just a one-minute walk from the train station. If you’re looking for a relaxed vibe, great food, and an incredible atmosphere, this is the place to be. It’s perfect for any kind of event—birthday parties, wedding lunches, or celebrations of any size. The service is excellent, and if you’re into good wine and creative, signature cocktails that make you feel like you’re in Greece, this place is an absolute must.

Great food and service! We enjoyed the grilled octopus, zucchini chips, horiatiki Greek salad and moussaka. The desserts were excellent. We were a party of 6 who walked in on a Saturday and they took excellent care of us.

The grilled salmon with black eyed peas was phenomenal. Loved the chicken souvlaki as well. Very friendly service. Nice wine selection. Good options for folks that are dairy-free.

2025 Update: Still love it here. Do yourself a favor by going for a restaurant week lunch. Fish of the day was absolutely delicious, and dessert was very cute too (some sort of chocolate cookie over some strawberry sauce). I love that they also have pretty healthy options, and I felt like I could have a high protein low carb meal. They offered complimentary bread, which along with dessert is enough carbs for me 😁 As for drinks, I barely ever drink alcohol anymore, but the NA Peroni did the job, especially on a hot Summer day. If I had alcohol, I would totally go for their happy hour 4pm-7pm. The only time I haven’t had a great experience here was on Valentine’s like 2 years ago, but I rarely ever love my Valentine’s dinners anyway, especially when there’s a set menu. Other than that, service is usually great, and this is still one of my faves in the area. Original Review: This is my new favorite Greek restaurant and hopefully continues to be. It not only is cute looking, but the food, drinks, and service are wonderful. Both times my partner and I visited, we have brought different guests from out of town and they loved it. We recently went for restaurant week with his parents and it was totally worth it. From the time we entered, we loved how warm it was in such a cold day (they had extra heaters inside), and then the music gave it such an ambiance that I felt like we were in some Greek island. This, along with a delicious Nisi Mule cocktail was the perfect start. Our server Dimitra was very nice and welcoming, and so was the manager. Dinner started with some complementary bread that was warm, and olive oil/balsamic on the side. Tzatziki & Tirokafteri spreads - super good! 😋 - my favorite tzatziki is usually the one from BZ Grill, so I’m used to good stuff, and this one did not disappoint, but I was more in love with the tirokafteri (spicy feta dip) Nisi Salad - delicious! We all shared this, even though we knew we probably ordered more food than we needed but no regrets there. The figs in the salad are such a great touch. Spanakopita - I never had it the way they serve it before (with yogurt) but I usually get this at a bakery. It was sooo good this way! Just try it. Saganaki - I’m pretty sure we also got this the first time. Everyone liked it just like everything else. Fish of the day - opted for branzino, and honestly, I have never had a bad one anywhere (it’s kind of hard to mess up), but I will say that my partner who had ordered the lamb chops was jealous of my dish lol I didn’t want to eat too heavy and that was perfect Paidakia (lamb chops) - very tasty, ordered it medium, really well prepared, but I’m a fish person. My partner is a steak person and was still more in love with the fish. Astakomakaronada (lobster linguini) - surprisingly generous portion, tasty, and made for a perfect lunch when I reheated the leftovers next day (somebody else in our party ordered but I got to enjoy the leftovers and I didn’t have to take a flight) Mosharisia Mprizola (rib-eye) - perfectly cooked, nice grilled flavor, would totally havr this again when craving steak Dessert - we all got baklava to go and even though it was softer than what I’m used to, it was one of the most delicious I have had around, and it made me want to go back next day just for dessert It was Monday night when we dined in, so I’m not sure if this is the usual experience, but already have reservations for a popular time and will see how it goes. Yum!

First time here with a few friends for dinner and drinks, the food was excellent everything was on point, the chef came out an introduced himself to us and explained to us all about the way the cooking is done. I highly recommend this place to anyone that wants to have a delicious Greek meal and don’t forget their desserts which were so tasty.

This Greek restaurant truly delivers an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The dishes are outstanding—each plate prepared with care, authenticity, and incredible flavor. Every bite reflects quality ingredients and a true respect for Greek cuisine. The atmosphere is immaculate and welcoming, creating the perfect setting to enjoy a relaxed and enjoyable meal. The cleanliness of the space is noticeable and adds to the overall sense of comfort and excellence. Service is absolutely perfect—attentive, professional, and genuinely warm without ever feeling rushed. The staff makes you feel valued and ensures that every detail of the dining experience is seamless. A wonderful restaurant that consistently exceeds expectations. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy excellent food, beautiful ambiance, and top-tier service.

All I have to say is come and eat! This place is great. I came for a girls night out and left so happy. The restaurant is larger than it looks and is nicely decorated. A lot of Greek wines in the menu. We tried the spanakopita, feta phyllo, and delicious grilled octopus. Perfect amount for 3 of us. Separately I ordered xifias souvlaki which is sword dish. It was served with lemon potatoes and salad. Very tasty

Attention: I was lured to this place by good reviews, but I just had a terrible experience I Do not recommend this place to anyone : 1 grilled octopus portion is tiny for $24 2 Greek salad was not bad except tomatoes were very mushy 3 the biggest disappointment was Bronzino- Overcooked, dry.. It taste like it was prepared a day before and just reheated for us. I was on a first date.. Otherwise all these "beautiful dishes" would go back to the kitchen Again, i would like to stress it - DO NOT Go to eat at this place

Really nice to see the space that once was the famed Athens Cafe go back to its Greek roots. My friend and I stopped here for dinner and its nice outdoor seating was definitely a huge deciding factor that lured us in. We arrived during their happy hour but were told that the special pricing only applied at the bar and not with regular seating...odd. They also didn't have a few things on the menu that we wanted like the Halloumi and the Hoirini Stavlisia, which was disappointing and left us wondering if they often don't have a full menu. Despite not having a few of the things we really wanted, we were happy with the food that we ordered: * Htapodaki (grilled octopus) - Pretty standard and most importantly, not dry * Horiatiki - traditional Greek salad that was done really well. Hard to mess this up unless you really wanted to * Feta Phyllo - we loved this. The honey and sesame seeds really balanced the feta cheese fried in the flaky phyllo * Lamb Kembarakia - disappointing. This came last and we shared the same confused look when we saw the 3 small pieces of lamb, some small grilled veggies, and a bunch of soggy fried potato slices. Not worth it at all and expensive. Service was okay, I felt like our waiter wasn't really helpful when it came to suggesting alternatives to the food we originally wanted that were unavailable and also didn't give any sort of explanation about the bar-only HH deal. The outdoor seating space is probably one of the nicer ones that I've dined at within NYC but 30th Ave is also a high-traffic area so keep in mind that though you are dining at the only restaurant on this triangular block, it won't be a tranquil setting.

Came for dinner and had a great meal here. My boyfriend and I easily made a reservation and tried: + kolokithakia chips - best thing + Horiatiki - tomatoes were awesome + Grilled lamb chops with lemon potatoes - excellent + Baklava - I don't care for it warm, but it was tasty Amazing open air vibes!

I came here with my colleagues for a bridal dinner! The decor is super cute and everything we ate was amazing! The food tastes so fresh! The staff was very patient with us and took pictures of us and even cut the cake we bought to the restaurant and served it to us.

Went there for a dinner and were warmly welcomed. Nice place with roomy spots to sit. It turned busy after we arrived We started with fava which was quite nice and was served with pita. The salad was fresh and had a good amount of feta. The octopus was also good. Nice dressing and soft not chewy. The shrimp were a nice portion of 5 and were served grilled on a bed of arugula. For the entree we shared a red snapper served with Horta. We got an extra portion of Horta with it and it was nice. The fish was flaky and cooked well. The herbs on it were intense and may have consisted of some pepper. One of the party did not like that bit I found it fine. Lots of lemon drew out the taste The desserts were the galaktoboureko and kormos. Both were enjoyed. I tried them both and found them to be as expected...very sweet, but flavorful. I recommend this place.

Welcome to 30th Avenue in Astoria! I have been literally dying to come here since they opened last year and we finally got around to it due to Restaurant Week; $45 for a 3 course meal??? Sign us up! To drink my best friend got the Santorini Sunset and I got the Windy Paros. Both drinks were delicious and had a good amount of alcohol for $15. To eat, she went with the restaurant week menu and I got a Greek burger with fries. Her first course was a Greek salad which was a nice size as it fed both of us, her dad got the grilled octopus, her sister the saganaki and her sisters husband the spanokopita. All were good sizes and were shared with our party of 5. For the main course she got the lamb chops, her sister the biggest Maine lobster I had ever seen and her dad and sister's husband the rib eye. This course took a rather long time (about 30 minutes) so thank god we got the "first course." It was worth it though! Everything was so fresh and flavorful. My burger was juicy and just at the temperature I like it! The crispy "fries" on the side reminded me of Europe. Lastly we ended our meals with baklava. A little Disappointed that it's the "only dessert" we got as the other table got another one. Four people in our table got the restaurant week special. Also, I don't mind the staff being attentive but I also mind when you're breathing down our neck! I mean the place was practically empty; it was Sunday night. I will definitely be back myself with my parents to try stuff on their regular menu as I love Greek food. See you soon Nisi!

Great Greek Restaurant with a lovely ambiance and delicious food! We came for lunch and got fried calamari (Kalamarakia), catch of the day and Feta phyllo dough appetizer with honey. The service was great and the food was tasty. We will be back!

Holy crap this was GOOD! I did get take out (sadly, unable to enjoy the bar), and got the Grilled Salmon. The bartender was very accommodating, able to make me comfortable with water while waiting for the Salmon (and asked if I wanted ice, THANK YOU! (braces hate ice)). The actual food? PERFECT. Melted in my mouth, the bread was soft to bite, and the sauce was delicious! I still don't know how, but I was able to stop myself halfway through to enjoy this tomorrow too.

Loved the sleek modern look from the outside and finally decided to stop in while me and my husband were in the mood for Greek. So pleasantly surprised by this spot! Definitely in my opinion one of the better Greek options in the area. Our waitress was super friendly and started us off right away. We got an array of our usual "safe foods" to really see if this can become a staple spot for us and it totally passed. The calamari was crispy and fresh with a nice lemon aioli and the Greek salad had a nice portion of feta (which I feel like is literally the whole point and so many Greek restaurant skimp on this!!!) the salmon was awesome and my husband loved his stuffed chicken! Totally check this place out, great for date night or need a Greek spot to introduce someone to Astoria (lol) as the ambiance is giving upscale and impressive!!

Nisi has great traditional Greek food. The ambiance was great and the decor is beautiful. I highly recommend the grilled octopus, branzino, and souvlaki. All very good.

Very delicious food, excellent service!!It has a wonderful atmosphere to share with the family !!

Came here for my best friends birthday for the first time. Service was as great was greeted as soon as you walked in and our waters were always filled. Food was great and I did appreciate that they participated in Restaurant Week $60 for 3 course dinner. The had a good selection of choices of RW, you actually got 4 course as we all got a soup to start prior to the appetizer. Octopus was +$7 up-charge but so well worth it. It was grilled perfectly and not chewy as I have had it in the past. We also order the Saganaki winch was pan seared table side as per our request. The fish of the day was Branzino which was served perfectly but if you do not like fish with tiny bones I would not recommend although they did a good job getting all the bones out they still missed a few but nothing that would deter me from getting it again. The dessert which unfortunately was not pictured was a chefs selection for the day and they were cream puffs with chocolate glaze. Ambiance is very cute and Mediterranean...makes you feel like you are in Greece with all the beautiful flowers around and the background music that I thought at one point was a live artist.

Amazing food, great ambiance, exceptional hospitality. Came to have lunch to celebrate my brother's wedding and there were absolutely no complaints. Thank you all for the prosecco and delicious dessert!

Several months have passed since my first day at Nisi, and their day three at their relocated, Astoria location. I felt a responsibility to update my fellow Yelpers and what better day to do so, then post a wonderful dinner the night before? So here's the verdict: five stars are solidly reaffirmed. For full disclosure, I've become a regular, and I stop by whenever I'm in town. And, I haven't gotten bored of it. Maestro restauranteur Lefteris holds court on most days and evenings. I suppose this is why it's run so well. Last night I uncharacteristically ordered a mousaka (pronounced moose kaka in My Big Fat Greek Wedding). Think lasagna except that the pasta layers are substituted with eggplant, scalloped potatoes and Mediterranean seasoning. The short-straw picker accompanying me last night selected more traditional faire of simply grilled Lavraki ( Mediterranean Sea bass or Bronzino or Lup-de-marre) and accompanied it with untraditional broccolini. We split the prasini salad ( romaine lettuce, scallions and dill), sparking water, a bottle of wine--but not the check. C'est la vie... We didn't order dessert at the restaurant; I had other aspirations that didn't materialize. C'est la vie. While I prefer the bar area seating, I requested to be sat in the main dining room on this visit. Our wine was as mediocre in direct proportion to how great was the service. My longing for additional wine options is perhaps my only gripe at Nisi. The unsolicited check arrived as it was approaching their closing time but I wasn't ready to leave. At least not without a night-cap for encouragement. Do I select from a wonderful list of bespoke crafted libations or stick with a not-so-basic basics? Scotch seemed right last night and I was torn by all the options. Dewars 15 made the cut but only because they didn't have Dewars 12-my favorite. While I can't swallow White Label, methinks Dewars' 12 year old offering is superb. Drinks at Nisi are modestly priced but the pours are diligently measured. I suppose vice follows virtue in the hospitality business. Alas we found ourselves at the night's fast approaching beginning of the end despite the extended evening's beginning. "Would you like some Tylenol?" I asked. "But I don't have a headache". A grin appeared on my face. "Let's quickly get home" I said. "Sorry Romeo, I have an early start in the AM." A respectable hail-Mary play yielded the prerequisite giggles but failed--miserably to move the scoreboard past 0-0. C'est la vie...

Went here yesterday for the Restaurant Week Menu. Our waiter Santi was incredible, he made so many recommendations. We got a bottle of an amazing Greek Wine. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. Can't wait to come back!

I visited Nisi Estiatorio for the first time today with my husband and brother for lunch, and it was such an exceptional experience! The restaurant is really inviting and has a modern, bright, Mediterranean feel. We were greeted immediately upon entering and were seated quickly. Our server was very kind and attentive and seemed to genuinely care about providing a great dining experience, which seems to be more and more rare these days, so it was much appreciated. For food, we shared the fried calamari, the feta in phyllo dough, and the fagri fish, which came with lemon potatoes and sautéed dandelion greens. Everything was so flavorful and delicious, and perfectly prepared. I had never had fagri before, but it's definitely a must for any fish lover. The lemon potatoes were the best I've ever had at any Greek restaurant. We finished the meal with ekmek, which I had also never had before. It was so light and airy and the perfect level of sweetness with fresh strawberries and blueberries, which were a nice touch. This place is truly amazing when I can't wait to return. Special thanks to our server, who made the overall experience that much better.

After working out I wanted something fresh and Mediterranean ! Walked in and We got seated right away and the servers were super attentive. The waitress kept the glasses of water flowing and she was super nice. It's Super clean inside and outside! Nice decor ! Ambience was chill .. The plates are pretty and presented the food well. Started off with appetizers Pikilia dish. It wasn't as flavorful as it looked but still good enough as we waited for mains. I ordered the Salmon dish as I was craving fish for weeks! The salmon was fresh but served on top of wet spinach and blackeyed peas which I did NOT like at all. IT didn't go well together ...The crispy skin of salmon was soaked. I did not want to eat this dish like a stew. I asked if I could substitute the black eyed peas for Salad or something else but they would not :( My sister ordered the Kotopoulo Soulaki. It was cooked perfect and had perfect sides however overall flavor was bland. Other than that I prob won't come back .. I need to taste my food.

Excellent service and an authentic taste of Greece. I am super critical and could not find anything wrong here. Yay! Clean bathrooms, beautiful restaurant ambience, and perfect service. I have been to Greece and Cyprus many times, so I know the food intimately, which is first-class. Give it a go, and I am sure you will love it. Walking distance to 30th Street subway. Well done guys!

This place is great! Went here on a sunny day and had the opportunity to eat outside which I highly recommend! If not, I went inside to use the can and the atmosphere seemed bright and lively! I got the sword fish and our party shared the mezze spread, which was A+! Great place to for a dinner or lunch with a very friendly and knowledgeable staff!

Absolutely nothing negative to say about this place. From the waiter who constantly checked up on us to the delicious meal to the beautiful decor and ambience, I couldn't be happier. Will be returning.

We came after the lunch rush for my friend's birthday. Everything we ordered tasted really good. The waiter was gorgeous, friendly and smelled amazing! Would definitely come back for the waiter. I mean, the food and ambience.

Stumbled across this hidden gem in Astoria. It was nice, cozy and beautiful inside. The staff were attentive and welcoming. I enjoyed the service here as they changed plates and met with care. The food was delicious! We had calamari for appetizers. They were a big portion and included some squid pieces. For entree, we had lamb chops. They were cooked very well and seasoned to perfection! Very happy with the food, and the cocktail was made lovely.

From octopus to the pork tomahawk, everything was just delicious. Really cute ambiance and good service.

The food is blah and very expensive. The portion sizes are teeny weeny. The place is beautiful and the bathrooms are spotless. Will I go back? That's a HARD NO!

I am a Williamsburg, Brooklyn girl and I hardly ever spend time in Astoria. However, my boyfriend lives in Astoria, so we are hitting the town and I'm learning a lot. He and I were walking down 30th Avenue one night and we saw this really cute place covered in beautiful pink flowers and I made a mental note to come to this place eventually for a "date night". However, I did one better by hosting my boyfriend's birthday dinner here. Last weekend was his birthday and Nisi Estiatorio was the venue I chose for this very special event. Nisi was very accommodating. I called about 7 days before the BIG day to see if they could accommodate a party of our size. Initially we were going to be about 20 people. There were a few cancellations due to life circumstances but the staff was very accommodating to our party of 12. The food was AMAZING! Everyone practically left little to nothing on their plate. The drinks were superb. The ambience was phenomenal and the staff were incredible. It was definitely a night to remember. We had guests come from New Jersey, Manhattan, Brooklyn and the commute was worth every bite. If you are looking to host a party, Nisi has a back area tucked away from the main entrance and its literally the perfect balance of intimate and easy to find. We'll definitely be back. A HUGE thank you to Ria, Kostos, Kris, Tiffany and Lefteris for making this night so special!

Fast review: - This is our second visit here. - We dined in for Valentine's Day dinner. Even if you have reservations, you will still wait. We waited 18 minutes past our 8:30PM reservation. - Do not sit at the bar and get a drink if you're waiting for your reserved table. Hostess will forget about you and seat other people who will come in after you. - The bartender will yell at you for his mistake. - The waiter will scold you for not eating their not-so-fresh oysters. If you would like more of a detailed review, please read below: This review is purely based on service and not on the food. This was our second time visiting this restaurant as the first time was a good experience and even recommended it to friends. I grew up in the neighborhood when Astoria was predominantly Greek and am always excited whenever a new Greek spot opens, especially in the "cursed" restaurant area that Nisi is currently in (this area never seems to hold a restaurant for more than two years). We usually go to our favorite Greek restaurant, Amylos, but when our amazing waiter from there moved on to better things in life, their quality of service went extremely down, and if you're paying for high-priced Greek meals in this economy, at least you would expect to experience some good service right? Well, unfortunately, Nisi did not deliver. Tonight left a nasty taste in our mouths, just like the smelly oysters they served. 1. We made reservations for 8:30 PM on Valentine's Day and they had a prix fixed dinner. They advertised it as a "4-course meal with complimentary champagne" on their Instagram but we did not receive any strawberry and champagne as posted. 2. We got there five minutes before our 8:30PM reservation, checked in with the hostess, and told her we would wait by the bar for our table. We knew it was going to be busy because of the day but it looked like she completely forgot about us since she seated a couple that came after us first. After 18 minutes of waiting by the bar, she finally came up to us and said, "If you guys still want a table, there's one available" and we were like "If? We've been waiting for a table!". Second red flag. 3. The first red flag was the bartender. We tried to pay for our drinks for ten minutes and we sympathized he was busy making all the drinks but we had our card out on the bill envelope when he was idle and still nothing. There was another bartender there that looked like he was being trained by the main bartender who saw our card and still nothing. Our table was in front of the bar and as we were getting seated, he yelled across the bar to command us to give him his signed copy. My husband was caught by surprise by the yelling so he was initially confused. The bartender kept barking at him "Where's the signed copy?! You didn't sign!" while my husband was trying to tell him that there was none since he didn't charge us yet. Finally, the bartender realized he didn't charge the card yet and apologized. Wow. Totally unprofessional and embarrassing for all that yelling as if we were trying to stiff him when he was the one at fault. 4. We waited another 15 minutes to get served. The night was finally winding down and patrons were leaving the restaurant. Our waiter was the same waiter we had on our first visit so that gave us hope the night would turn better. Again, I understand they were all so tired from the busy day, but it was still not an excuse to be rude. I ordered the oysters since I love eating them but when they arrived, they had a weird stench to them and the water on them was cloudy. Immediately, I was curious if we received a bad batch since it was the end of the night but I still gave it a chance. I put my usual condiments on them (lemon, vinegar, hot sauce) and still, it was not good. My husband even agreed as we were both oyster enthusiasts. I had another one just to make sure and it was definitely a no. When the waiter came to take the plates, he questioned me if I liked the oysters since I hadn't eaten all of them and I said "No I think they're bad" and he responded rather hastily, "So you're not going to finish them? We had them come in just for today, I mean come on!". Way to take out your stress on me, buddy. Aside from the bartender and now this waiter, I was embarrassed and appalled by the attitude of the wait staff! We got through our meal but at that point, we just didn't want to be there anymore because of the bad service. We asked for our dessert to go since we were just completely done with the attitude and rudeness of the wait staff. This place is not usually busy on a normal day/night so I'm sure the wait staff was used to more of a quiet night. However, being it was their first Valentine's Day in the neighborhood, maybe this review will help them plan better if they make it to next year.

The flavors you will experience is way beyond anyone's expectations. New York's Funnyman and Comedian Greg "The Greek" Kritikos, told me that this place is a "must try". He's a funny guy but he was very serious about this place. This place excels on all levels. Decor Cleanliness Service Music Atmosphere Food The menu is filled with every greek specialty you can name. The Egg Lemon soup is just like my grandfather used to make. Try the Halloumi appetizer, it's the best I ever had. You can tell, right away, they make every effort to present you with the very best that you can get. Try this place, you will always come back for more.

Absolutely a beautiful restaurant....super-romantic for date-night but also saw groups of friends gather at the bar, so you get best of both worlds. The property is clean, beautiful and well-kept. The food was delicious. I had my favorite, the moussaka and he had the king prawns, and those prawns were so large. I loved that the moussaka was not oversized but still very filling.

Went to Nisi for restaurant week this past weekend and was blown away by how delicious the food was! Amazing, complex salad, perfectly cooked fish, and delicious pastry and ice cream for dessert. Highly recommend! Service was on point too. I truly don't know why this place isn't packed all the time.

Nisi is a fine-dining Greek restaurant and one of many Greek restaurants in Astoria. Currently, they are considered one of the new kids on the block, offering traditional Greek cuisine and other Meditteran dishes. They recently took over the old Calexico eatery which at one time was Athens Cafe and then a BBQ House, Salt, and Bone on 30th Avenue. The owner has kept the design and layout similar to the previous owners of the prior two eateries at that location, yet turned it into a traditional Greek restaurant with plenty of seating and a bar. I found my whole dining experience relaxing and informal, however, their menu can be a little disappointing. I love lamb chops, and I mean really you offer me French fries when lemon potatoes should have been available as an alternative on the menu!1 As for my portions of tarama and lamb chops, they were huge portions, so much so, that I got indigestion the following day. Still, these huge portions I guess help explain why the restaurant is one of the more expensive Greek eateries in Astoria. By Astoria standards they are very good, unfortunately with so many other Greek offerings in the area their menu tends to be on the expensive side. Are they worth a second visit? Maybe?

If you aren't going here, you're missing out. Everything you could ever imagine a great restaurant is, they have it here. The best place to take someone that has been good to you.

Immerse yourself in the elegance and class of Nisi Estatoriano, a true gem of a Greek cuisine in Astoria! From the moment we stepped in, we were captivated by the exquisite decoration that exuded sophistication and elegance. The ambiance was perfect for a memorable dining experience. And let's talk about the food! We started our culinary journey with a Greek salad that was flawlessly seasoned and bursting with flavors. The fish soup was an absolute revelation, leaving us yearning for more. The bourekia appetizer was tantalizing and set the stage for what was to come. But the absolute highlight of our feast was the sharing platter of bronzinia, a true seafood lover's dream come true. Every bite was a symphony of flavors and textures. And just when we thought it couldn't get any better, we indulged in the most heavenly dessert, accompanied by a rich cup of coffee. If you're a food lover, Nisi Estatoriano is an absolute must-visit. The combination of impeccable decoration, delightful ambiance, and mouthwatering Greek cuisine will transport you to culinary paradise. Don't forget to try the amazing Greek wines to pair with your meal! The service was absolutely amazing, with a very knowledgeable staff! If you have not tried Nisi Estatoriano, make sure you do. Don't miss out on this unforgettable experience! Congrats Nisi! We will be back!

Came here for drinks before dinner and the place was clean and well decorated. Me and my date sat at the bar. I ordered the santorini sunset which was slightly spicy, but so refreshing. My date ordered the lager which he also enjoyed. Service was quick and friendly, bathroom was well kept and I'd come back again to try more cocktails

This place needs 50 stars. Wow! This is the complete package as restaurants goes. Don't sleep on this place. Their food is off the chain. I had Greek food before but this sh!t is on another level. Friendly waters, and the music brings the whole thing together.

Great food. Amazing warm and friendly service. Best grilled octopus that I've had in the states. Am definitely going to return. The place and ambience is very clean and well designed. The chef is also very nice and more importantly very talented. Worth a trip to try for sure.

Modern Mediterranean cuisine Excellence food and ambient I was coupled times and every time I really enjoyed

We love this restaurant! The food and service is outstanding. Beautiful decor with Greek music playing in the background.

This is my favorite Greek restaurant in Astoria ! First off, it's SO BEAUTIFUL. I love the vibes and ambiance of this restaurant. I'm usually not the biggest fan of Greek food, but everything here was SO DELICIOUS. Usually cannot handle lamb, but their lamb chops were AMAZING !!! Make sure to order those. The service here is really excellent as well- they do sparklers for a birthday and sing while giving you a Polaroid. Really sweet, will be back!

Run! Don't walk to Nisi Estiatorio on 30th Avenue in trendy Astoria. This chic yet casual Greek restaurant will transport you to the islands with extraordinary food, cocktails, and service. I love the white interior and comfy chairs along with elevated Greek cuisine.

This place can't even be bothered to cut the 2-3 feet high weeds growing off the 32nd st side of their storefront. How do you think their kitchen looks?

Great semi-dressy date night Greek place! We got the Santorini Sunset to drink which was delish - really nice balance of tart and sweet. We also got the market fish, zucchini fritters, spanakopita, lemon potatoes, and broccoli. All of the food was incredible. My husband is a huge seafood fan and said that the fish was one of the best pieces of fish he's ever had. I loved the zucchini fritters and the lemon potatoes! The atmosphere was nice and breezy with wide open walls and really nice floral wall displays. Service was fast and friendly, and they even gave us a complimentary hummus appetizer! Love this place, will definitely be back!

Absolutely amazing. Everything tastes so good, and the service is top quality. My boyfriend and I have gone several times now, trying different dishes each time and everything has been so tasty! The ambiance is also so nice, intimate if you feeling romantic and also cool vibe for dinner with friends. I would definitely recommend coming here.

I rarely write reviews, but I felt compelled to write one here after my mom and I had such a wonderful dining experience at this beautiful restaurant. My mom lives nearby and she was raving about the great dinner she had here so we came back for lunch. We had the most gorgeous Greek salads with shrimp. Our waitress was so lovely and she was careful to check on the food for me because I have food allergies. The food is delicious and the presentation is stunning. There are a lot of Greek restaurants in the neighborhood but this is certainly a standout! Thank you!

Food was awesome, very clean and pristine.. service was also fantastic, extremely attentive and lovely.

It's open and I LOVE IT. They've freshened up the space with white tables, walls, countertops, the works, and it really makes the bar area feel welcoming, bright, and like a spot I could sit in for hours, but becomes cozy, comforting and a little romantic after dark (haven't seen the other half of the restaurant yet, but I'm sure the vibe is similar). The service is extremely friendly and professional. I hate olives generally, but somehow did not hate theirs... I don't understand it, but enjoyed an olive for the first time in 36 years of life. The cocktails are beautiful and really well crafted, every bite of food was worthwhile. Surprisingly large portions for NYC, both my roommate and I left with leftovers. I've seen a lot of restaurants come through this space over the past 7 years and this is my favorite so far, I really wish them well and recommend a visit. 10/10 experience.

This place is absolutely gorgeous from outside. Inside is also beautiful. The service here is amazing. We actually had reservations for another restaurant and decided to try this place out. So glad we did . Loved everything we tried and drinks is pretty smooth as well . Will definitely be back when I'm in the area .

My new favorite place in Astoria!!! Nisi has the best octopus and is truly a Greek treasure in Astoria!!

I was walking by with my friend on a hot summer day, and decided to check it out. This place was previously a cafe before, but as a restaurant it looked very lit and Greek vibes. The music and ambience were nice, service was attentive. The food was amazing! So was my Santorini cocktail and white wine. I had the zucchini chips, hummus, greek salad, (bread with olive oil), and octopus was grilled perfectly. I had calamari which was tangy and crunchy how I like it. I also ordered lamb chops with fries, very good. I had the lemon potatoes and some great fish as well! Everything was fresh and tasty. I will be back to try more even though I had a big fat LUNCH here, clearly. Definitely recommend for Greek authentic cuisine.
