    They are one of the few remaining Greek Cypriot restaurants in Astoria and are a solid choice for lunch; they are pretty spacious with a music stage. I came here for a business meeting and was not disappointed with the food and service. Yes, they are a solid recommendation. We ordered soup, tarama, and a souvlaki platter. They are better than Aliada.

    Delicious and authentic Greek food in the heart of Astoria with generous portion sizes. The lady (owner?) of the restaurant was very hospitable with a great sense of humor. I came with a few other friends who were visiting the neighborhood for the first time, and it was a lovely welcoming experience. There is ample seating indoors, and I wish we were there on a day with live music. This restaurant seems like a place with a fun, and lively ambiance. My only complaint was I thought the roasted lamb would look different in form than it did. Some parts were a little tough to cut through. We also made the rookie mistake of ordering appetizers that were included in their larger combo platters (located at the bottom of the menu). Had we noticed it earlier, we would have ordered that since it also came with a sampler of different meats and seafoods! But I guess that means an excuse to come back again someday.

    Astoria's demographic might be changing by the day, but there is still plenty of Greek life in the neighborhood as evidenced by a place like Dionysos. It is a quaint, dare I say charming, supremely authentic Greek spot (#1). You know those Eastern European restaurants that don't get a ton of traffic on the weekdays but host all sorts of private parties for families and various local gatherings on the weekends? That's a bit how this place is: old school vibe, motherland approved. Maybe I lucked out each time while dining and and doing take out, but the food has been really good each time. I am hooked on their kolokithokeftedes (fried zucchini balls) and literally cannot stop ordering their moussaka or pasticcio. The roasted lamb is divine and their sheftalia (pork and lamb sausage) is as juicy as it is tasty. Even rhe spanokopita is good. Their seafood selection is also excellent and I appreciate they have their own take on cyprus mezzes. Service has been kind and their delivery js on point. I appreciate that their food is packaged well and is even well labeled. Prices are reasonable compared to other more expensive and popular Greek competition. I would reckon that folks add Dionysos to their must try list but yo their growing rotation of tasty Astoria haunts. __________ (#1) You can trust me, I'm not even Greek. (#2) If you can say this 3x fast without stuttering, you've won at life.

    Chicken Souvlaki (and Grilled Octopus in the background) - so good!

    It was my first time going here and I have to say I was very impressed with the food and service - Amazing service and amazing food. Our waiter was also very friendly. If you are looking for authentic & delicious Greek food, then I definitely recommend this place. I will definitely be back!

    My husband was in the mood for Greek food on the way home from the Bronx Zoo so we hit Astoria before heading back to Brooklyn. I found Dionysos on YELP based off it's great reviews but mainly chose it because their online menu listed chicken fingers. Perfect for my picky 8 year old. We walked in to an empty restaurant and were greeted by a friendly Greek woman who seated us. We were soon served a basket full of delicious toasted bread & pita served with olive oil & ground kalamata olives. We devoured it. Our appetizers came out soon after but the best part is the server's rapport with my son. She visited our table often even as the restaurant's tables quickly filled up. I was impressed at her ability to cover it all. After a delicious dinner, my husband asked for a dessert menu. She never brought the menu, instead she surprised us with a dessert made from semolina (thought I forgot the name of it). It was delicious. We began chatting with her and found out she made it herself but the best part was that she was actually the owner. She joked with my son about having a cup of Greek coffee ... and then she brought a cup out for him to try! He ended up trying (liking it) and they even posed in a picture together. I loved it. It felt familiar. My mother was from Sicily yet the owner, Vivian reminded me of my mother (who passed). I appreciated that. When we were done we got up and walked over to say goodbye, she gave me the warmest hug and told us to come back again anytime. We absolutely will & I recommend you do too. Sometimes it's nice to just go somewhere that feels like home. Thank you for a great night.

    Hamido Seafood in Astoria operates on a foundational blueprint of absolute freshness and choice:…read moreyou pick it by the weight, you tell them how to cook it, and you get out of the way. Their move and expansion on Ditmars Boulevard was a massive improvement. The soul of the kitchen didn't get lost in the extra square footage; instead, the chaotic sidewalk scramble has been replaced by a much smarter, vastly improved layout. Make no mistake, the lines still form and the room still buzzes with heavy energy, but the experience is entirely elevated. The food remains exceptional, a lesson in Mediterranean-Egyptian execution. The grilled shrimp carries a beautiful, smoky kiss from the fire, and the scallops are pristine, sweet, and perfectly seared. But the real heavy hitters are the giant prawns--and a rich, nutty tahini served with warm bread that acts as the ultimate anchor for the table. It's a spectacular, unpretentious feast where the ingredients do all the heavy lifting. Food (4.75/5): Elite tier. The ability to choose your own raw seafood and have it perfectly dialed in to order is unmatched. The prawns, scallops, and grilled shrimp are flawless, and that tahini is a MUST. Decor (4.25/5): The new, expanded space is a huge upgrade. It's cleaner, better organized, and breathes much easier than the old spot, while still holding onto that authentic, bustling seafood market energy. Customer Service (4.25/5): Despite the relentless rush and the inevitable crowds, the staff manages the counter and the floor with sharp efficiency and welcoming hospitality. Price: Around $60 per person. When you consider that you are paying by weight for high-grade, incredibly fresh seafood customized exactly to your liking, it is worth every dollar.

    The line is long, but it moves fast. You order first, then they sit you at a table and they bring…read moreout your food. You get to choose what seafood you want how you want it prepared and in what quantity. It's priced by the pound. Love the new store as it has two floors and plenty of seating with soon to have outdoor seating as well They move really quickly with food and orders (there was a table of 17 in front of us (!)) Best food: -love the free bread that you start with, but don't fill up on dips / sides - grilled shrimp, snapper and grilled calamari where our favorites. The grilled shrimp was shockingly out of this world. Was not expecting it. The snapper was perfectly cooked. Good; fried calamari was OK. I've had better. Beets were mid but good side for the seafood Service was fantastic Good option for small and large parties although small parties will be served faster Highly recommend for delicious seafood in Astoria

    New items: Branzino:…read moreliked this better than the sea bass, felt like it was more tender Octopus: not bad, and would order if craving it, but I'd rather get from Greek places The large Greek salad was plentiful and actually went well with the food.

    There are plenty of seafood restaurants in Astoria that has this ordering style where you go up to…read morethe front and you see this fresh selection of seafood and you can order by the weigh/item. The ones we had been to in the past usually allows you to also pick different type of cooking style or seasoning but this place only cooks it their way. It's good for people who are indecisive but disappointing for people who want variety of flavor. They usually have a section of appetizers and drinks you can order on a separate menu as well. The staffs were very low energies when we visited on a weekend night. The overall ambiance and interaction made us feel a little uncomfortable. We ordered: - eggplant dip - fries - Greek salad (large) - cooked fish - calamari - octopus Honestly I was so disappointed with the food. It didn't taste as fresh and was overall too salty. The eggplant dip had a weird taste. Friend fries were not as crispy and unevenly distributed portions of salt. The calamari was nothing special. The fish was okay, and the octopus was so salty we actually sent back the dish. It was very difficult to enjoy it. The staff was so accommodating and actually took the dish off our bill. (Thank you!! - great customer service!). My favorite item was probably the Greek salad, but then again it's hard to mess up a salad. I would say this is my least favorite counter order style seafood restaurant in Astoria. My friend said great things about it prior to my visit and I really wish I would have liked it.
