"The Greek restaurant in Astoria makes for a lively Monday dining destination for lunch and dinner, especially when it comes to flavorful seafood dishes like filleted fish and grilled octopus. The patio is pleasant on a nice day, too." - Melissa McCart
"We aren’t going to weigh in on what we think the absolute best Greek place is in Astoria, because it would sort of be like choosing the best pizza in NYC (tough and inevitably controversial). That said, Taverna Kyclades is up there. Everything is served family-style here, and they specialize in seafood. You can get things like stuffed clams, several types of whole fish, and grilled octopus—or you can do some pork kebabs and lamb chops. This place gets busy, but they might pour you some free wine while you wait for your table." - bryan kim, neha talreja, sonal shah, will hartman
"The Bayside and Astoria locations of this famous Greek restaurant are now delivering their entire menus. Sure, you can’t currently have a big group feast in public, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make your own feast of octopus, lamb chops, and lemony potatoes on your dining room table. You can place your takeout and delivery orders through a few different online platforms." - hannah albertine
"“One question I find myself asking pretty much every day of summer: where can I go feel like I’m on vacation somewhere in the Mediterranean? So far, my best answer is Taverna Kyclades in Astoria. I like to go for an early dinner, get a seat outside under the big blue awning, and bring a bottle of white wine I’ve been looking forward to trying (their corkage is reasonable and they bring a bucket of ice to keep it nice and cold). Get a selection of dips, the lemon potatoes, the prasini salad (with lots of feta and dill), and the octopus. And save room for the delicious (and free!) dessert they drop at every table.”" - brennan carley
"Taverna Kyclades has a ton of sidewalk seating available in front of their spot on Ditmars Boulevard. Everything is served family-style here, and they specialize in seafood. You can get things like stuffed clams, several types of whole fish, and grilled octopus - or you can do some pork kebabs and lamb chops. This place gets busy, so arrive early (or try one of the other outdoor spots on Ditmars since there are a ton of options - like Hamido Seafood directly across the street.)" - hannah albertine
