They sat us down near the windows and the entire restaurant was so clean and comfortable. The prices were very fair for the amount of food you get. And now that we're on the food, it was absolutely amazing. I mean from the plating and the portions, the flavor was outstanding!

The trio dip appetizer was massive. Gyro beef and lamb platter was a huge serving for $14, meat was slightly dry. Souvlaki pork platter was $23 and very flavorful and juicy, though slightly oily. We got pita bread with the dip and entree, some were super soft and some were hard/crunchy (which I kind of liked), but was weird. Overall, I'd come back and try the gyro pita and other items!

Went to Taverna Kyclades in Bayside with a family member, and after quite some time since my last…read morevisit, I can honestly say it did not disappoint. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather while the open panels gave the restaurant a nice indoor-outdoor feel. The food was just as delicious as I remembered. The grilled octopus was excellent, and we shared the stuffed shrimp and chicken souvlaki, both of which were tender, flavorful, and nicely plated with vegetables and potatoes. The drinks were great too. I had a Moscow Mule, and my cousin, a beer enthusiast, really enjoyed his IPA. One of the biggest highlights was the service. Our server was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. A manager also greeted us with a smile and happily accommodated our request to sit outside. We never felt rushed and were able to relax and enjoy our meal. The vibe was cool, the place very clean and service wonderful!! Fresh food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere. I will definitely be back.

I haven't had Greek food in years and this was the best place to break that long hiatus from it. I…read moretruly missed these flavors! Their chicken gyro, packed with fries, and tzatziki sauce was out of this world. If I could eat 5 in one sitting, I totally would. Immediately I was put in a food coma after eating my half of it (I shared with an old friend). The dipping sauces were nice -- absolutely adore their hummus which is thick and freshly made. The lemon potatoes lacked salt. That's just my preference. Could have absolutely added on more salt myself but I was enjoying a "healthy" moment. Lol. Speaking of healthy moment, the salad that my friend had ordered was delightful. It was PACKED... and made me feel like a health nut lol. I loved the dressing that they used to but unfortunately, I don't remember what that sauce was. Dessert wise -- the baklava is a great choice. I forgot to take a picture of my actual favorite dessert which was their orange cake. I'm absolutely obsessed with Greek orange cakes!!!!!!!!!

Avli landed on my radar via my brother - we were at an engagement and looking to grab some dinner…read morebefore heading home. He had been here before and had good things to say - since I'm a fan of Greek food, it only made sense for us to stop here, so off we went. There's no shortage of Greek restaurants in Bayside, and Avli sits among several of them on Bell Blvd. The space has a somewhat casual set up, but it's not too laid back - kinda caught in between. The restaurant is larger than I expected, with a front area containing booths, a back room with tables, and even further back they have a spacious outdoor seating area. The decor isn't too noteworthy - simple and inoffensive. The menu contained classic Greek dishes but also a few more items I wasn't familiar with. They started us with a plate of pita and tzatziki; a standard, but I thought their tzatziki was one of the better ones I've had; smooth and full of flavor. We also ordered the keftedakia and honey feta to start; the former were probably the weakest component of our meal, they had flavor but were over-fried. The honey feta was very good - lots of honey to balance the cheese, but surprisingly not heavy. For my main, I got the grilled stuffed chicken, which came with my choice of sour or salad (I got the former) and side (I chose lemon potatoes). For soups, my brother recommended the avgolemono which was delicious - the combination of the chicken, orzo, broth, and lemon worked really well together. The stuffed chicken itself was delicious - the meat itself was pounded thin, and balanced really well with the feta and spinach stuffing. I'm too used to stuffed chicken dishes being haphazardly assembled, but I can tell this was made with care. Service was very good - the whole team was friendly and food came out at a good pace. Overall, I had a great meal Avli - it's some of the best Greek food I've had in a while (take my non-Greek opinion as you will), and I would definitely consider returning if I'm in the area again.

Maria's Mediterranean has definitely become one of my favorite spots on Long Island. I've been here…read moremany times, and my usual orders--the Grilled Chicken Breast, Beef Souvlaki, crispy Calamari, or the small meat platter--are consistently fantastic. There is something truly special about their seasoning that makes every single dish amazing. What really sets Maria's apart, besides the incredible food, is the outstanding hospitality.

It's that rare, warm atmosphere combined with consistently delicious food that makes this a place I always look forward to returning to. Food (5/5): Consistent and amazing.

Maria and her team offer the kind of genuine hospitality that makes you feel like part of the family. Decor (4/5): Warm, inviting, and comfortable--the perfect setting for a great neighborhood spot.

All I can say is WOW ! If I lived near this place, I would be here frequently…read more We walked in on the early side.... before any kind of rush...and we had the restaurant to ourselves. There's a lovely rustic, yet high end vibe. It's also immaculate. Our server was fantastic...just the right balance of friendly, attentive and helpful. It was hard to choose appetizers because I actually wanted one of each. There aren't a lot of Mediterranean choices near where I live currently so my eyes were definitely WAY bigger than my stomach. That said, we shared the halloumi and three different dips served with warm pita. Then we added a last minute choice of grilled sweet sausage for my stepdad. Before we even received our appetizers, they brought a lovely pile of warm pita with delicious sides to accompany: olives, white bean spread, and red pepper hummus (I believe... whatever it was, it was delicious!). The appetizers were outstanding and it was really hard to pick a favorite. Each one of the dips was delightful: taramasalata, hummus, and eggplant. I tasted a bite of the sausage and I understood why my stepdad enjoyed it so much (perfectly cooked and just the right amount of seasoning). The appetizers were new to my mom and she truly enjoyed everything. Her main course was crabcakes and she raved about those as well. I chose the Souvlaki with a side of grilled vegetables and it was exactly what I wanted with perfectly spiced and not overcooked cubes of chicken. The other grilled chicken dish got a huge thumbs up...and that's from a super picky eater. We topped everything off by sharing a large piece of cake that was very decadent....and even though I love chocolate,.... no way I could've finished it by myself. It had an Oreo crust and the rest was a rich chocolate mousse. Next time? Baklava. Looking forward to going back to visit the fam and enjoying Maria's again. Maybe they can open up a location near Saratoga? Just saying...

The Greek fries were a soggy, mushy mess. The kabob was way too overdone and chewy and tough with no flavor at all. The chicken gyro was scant and tasteless - nothing but an explosion of lettuce when opened. One of the lemon wedges still had the stickers on it. Not one, but two stickers. Makes me wonder..... were they even washed??? The baklava was standard. The rice pudding is always good. My husband and son enjoyed their regular gyros. We will of course give them another chance because we've ordered from them for so long, but for over $100, this meal was terrible.

The service was still good, and the ambiance is bright and welcoming, which I appreciated. The gyro itself was just okay this time, nothing too memorable. The fries were good definitely needed some salt, but that's just my personal preference. The chicken skewer was solid and probably the highlight of the meal. My biggest issue was the Greek salad. It was mostly cucumbers, and the feta cheese had a really strange flavor. I'm not sure what brand they use, but I've never tasted feta like that before, and not in a good way. It completely threw me off. That experience alone was enough to turn me away. I think I'll stick with the pricier Greek spots that I know are more consistent.
