I've been to Astoria many times over the years. It remains a good option, if you know what to order.
The entree portions are massive and come with a huge greek salad. It is wise to share an entree and appetizer unless you are truly starving. This may still be too much food.
Recommendations:
- grilled calamari
- pork souvlaki (it's their best type)
- saganaki
decent options:
- dolmades
- mousaka
do not recommend
- spanikopita (just go to Athen's bakery instead. seriously.)
- lamb chops
The service is spotty, especially on weekends when they are busy. You normally get your food quite fast though.
I've been here with a larger group before, which works fairly well because you can order a nice range of appetizers and share. It also helps that the restaurant is huge, so they're more likely to seat you
