"????GREEK FOOD IN ASTORIA, Queens ny @Stamatis.Restaurant @stamatis.restaurant.astoria ????Wanted to explore more of Astoria while we stayed in long island city. This area is known for its Greek community, eaters, and cafes. Super walkableneighborhood and there are two main busy streets we have found After a bit of wandering, we wanted outdoor seating and foundStamatis on the Google map with great reviews. I do have to say, I felt a bit out of place going into this restaurant as we werethe only Asians ????????or even anyone other than Greek That's how legit this place was! The server was really nice and helpedus navigate through their huge menu, recommended a few items: ????Grilled octopus ????Fresh sea bass ????Saganaki (friedcheese) ????chicken souvlaki platter with dandelions ????Moussaka (egg plant, ground beef, onions, feta, scallions withbesamel cream) I think overall my favorite was the seafood (as usual). Made light with olive oil and herbs, not too heavy. Thefried cheese was surprisingly good as it was recommended by the water. Crispy in the outside, melty inside. Thin cut , to beeaten with this red tomato ???? paste Instead of the moussaka we were going to order the Nest. It had a beef stew in it butthey ran out of that item. The moussaka was like your hearty lasagna without all the carbs . The eggplants and beef togethermakes the textures consistent but includes the earthy taste of eggplants. I'm sure they smoked or grilled them ahead of timetoo All in all a great meal! Hope you can wander in there. theres a few really good spots @midwestmunching"

"Came here for dinner on a Friday night. After eating a ton of heavy meats all day, we were really craving for something lighter. We went inside and were greeted immediately. The inside was a bit small but didn't seem crowded. However there were a lot of people working. We asked to be sat outside and we were the only party out there. Our server was very friendly and kind. He checked in on us often. We decided to order the krya pikilia (assortment of traditional spreads , kalamarakia scharas (grilled squid appetizer , avgolemono (chicken and rice soup , and tourlou (roasted veggies . First there was some complimentary bread. It wasn't anything special, a bit dry. The traditional spreads and soup came out first. The soup was yummy and not too heavy, especially because of the lemon. It was delicious and savory. The traditional spreads was my and my sisters' favorite part of the meal. I would absolutely recommend this! They were all so savory and went well together. This was served with a big plate of thin (pita? bread which was warm and seasoned as well. The spreads were separated by cucumbers which also tasted great dipped in the spreads. I ended up asking for more cucumbers and our lovely server provided us with a gigantic plate of them! Such a refreshing meal. The grilled squid appetizer was yummy also, savory and soft, not too chewy. Very juicy as well, no complaints! The tourlou was my least favorite. There wasn't a ton of seasoning and the veggies were very soft, the texture was a little unpleasant to me. I liked the potatoes but didn't like the rest of it very much, wouldn't get this again. At the end, there was a complimentary dessert. It was a slightly grainy and subtly sweet rectangle. Not sure exactly what it was but it was pretty good! The spreads alone made me give this place 5 stars. I would definitely come back to try other dishes since they have so many things on the menu."
