Reviews for Stamatis in Astoria, NY
Very nice food, and the server (owner?) was friendly too. I have to deduct a star or two because they allow outdoor guests to... smoke cigarettes at their tables. I've been here a couple times and it's always the case. On this particular occasion an entiretable of people was lighting up multiple times throughout my meal... and even from far across I had to smell their stink theentire time. There's a reason this is prohibited in NY... Not cool. Read more

????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 Read more
Been coming here for the best Grilled octopus for over 15 years & this time it was made different. ?? It was cut up & not whole... (like it had been in the past) and it had vinegar & was overcooked. Not sure if they changed chefs or recipes, but I was verydisappointed. My mom & sister took me there for my birthday & well wasn?t as good as in the past 15 years thats why I gave 4 outof 5 stars. The, zucchini croquettes, salad lamb were very delicious. Read more
Was recommended this restaurant by a friend and I?m here to pass the recommendation to anyone on Google! Really spacious,... classic Greek-restaurant atmosphere with delicious, family-style food. We ordered the Grape Leaves (best I?ve had), FriedSquid, Fried Cheese, Stuffed Cabbage, and a 1.5 lbs Red Snapper. We cleared our plates because it was so good! Although thestaff is often busy, their service was friendly and very accommodating. Pita and dessert is included! Read more
Eaten here many times and it never disappoints. Best to dine with 3 or 4 to order different apps or entrees to share. Fish and... lamb are great. In Astoria so many Greeks who live here eat here. Across the 23rd Street is Mediterranean Foods probably themost extensive selection Greek olive oil and feta and everything that Greece has to offer. Will return as always Read more
