| - Back in the day, Astoria was one of the best places to get Greek food on the Danforth, but now, it's been lacking in some key areas. The food used to taste much better and cost much less, but that's all changed now.
The other day, I went to Astoria for the first time in years. I remember when the portions used to be rather large (not that they aren't now, but they used to be much larger) for a fraction of the cost of what it is now. You also don't get free bread anymore- not that I need anymore carbs after rice AND potatoes, but I eat them anyways.
Aside from that, the food still tastes good, but not as good as before. I had the calamari dinner like I usually do and it was much oilier than I remembered. I think they just didn't let it sit for long enough when they took it out of the deep fryer, but I can do without the pool of oil at the bottom of my plate. I tried a bit of the grilled calamari as well and I wish I ordered that instead.
As for service, it's always been pretty good here. The servers are super nice and they remember you... even if you haven't been back for 10 years.They bring your food out in no time and if you want a quick meal that tastes good, you might as well go to Astoria.
