The moment you walk in, you feel the warmth -- everyone who works here is genuinely friendly, like they're welcoming you into their home. The food was outstanding. We ordered the mixed grill platter with juicy gyro, perfectly charred souvlaki, and those addictive roasted potatoes. The grilled octopus was tender with the perfect char, the whole fish was flaky and bright with lemon, and the spanakopita? Flaky, cheesy, and just like homemade. Every single bite tasted fresh and full of love. It genuinely felt like we were eating at our Greek grandma's table. The flavors, the portions, the heart -- everything was perfect. This is the real deal, the kind of neighborhood gem you want to keep coming back to. If you're in the area and craving authentic Greek food made with care, come here. You'll leave happy and full. Highly, highly recommend!

If we wanted to get a table in the main dining room, the wait was estimated to be over 2 hours (we went around 8pm), so I highly recommend making a reservation if you plan to go. The staff were very quick with service and very friendly. We were offered toasty bread with some lemon and an olive spread while we waited for our food (which also came out super quick!). We ordered the octopus and lamb chops. The octopus was incredibly tender, the meat was very soft - I personally would've preferred a little more bite to it, but it still tasted good. The lamb chops were flavorful. The medium here is on par with medium rare at most other places, and one of our pieces was borderline rare. At the end of the meal we were also offered complementary desert, which was a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed our meal overall, but just know that it's a little on the pricey. The octopus and lamb chops came out to $80~ pre-tax and tip. Would recommend if you're a fan of seafood!

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 The soul of the kitchen didn't get lost in the extra square footage; instead, the chaotic sidewalk scramble has been replaced by a much smarter, vastly improved layout.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.

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 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.
