| - When you think of Greek and Taste of Danforth, one of the first places that comes to mind is ASTORIA!
Its hard to miss this restaurant since its the only one along this stretch of road that's illuminated in bright Pink and Green lights!!!!!
I've been coming to this place for Years, and its one of the first authentic Greek resturants that I have ever been to.
The interior is clean, and the decor gives you the feeling that you've actually landed in Greece, sky blue ceilings, lighting, and garden-esque decor, I felt like I was at one of Epcot Center's Cultural Pavilions lol!!
Summertime they've got a decent sized patio, and the servers are very personable! Iriana and I came here during the Krino Taste of Danforth based on my ummmm recommendation... so no pressure haha!!
For Drinks:
Iriana had the Zinfandel, and I tried their Greek house wine.... 6oz
For food: we both decided to order their Astoria Appetizer Platter since we wanted to try the food vendors as well. The platter consisted of Dolmades (stuffed grapvines with rice herbs & spices), Golden Fried Calamari, Spanakopita, humus and tzatziki DIP!
Drawbacks!: calamari was overcooked, too much breading, and the spanakopita didn't have enough feta. The pita could have been warmer...
Overall, the appetizer was not the best! however I think we should have had their souvlaki dinner instead. With the street festival occurring, we had people lined up right against the patio so it felt a bit awkward trying to enjoy the outdoor dining experience as people were glaring at you lol..... maybe next time Astoria!!!
