Had a great dinner here with delicious food and excellent service! Lots of selection and drinks on the menu. I tried the lamb Souvlaki Platter, lentil soup, and grilled calamari . You’ll be served with pita and olives first with good portion. The lamb was juicy and tender with a sauce to dip, the platter comes with a salad with goat cheese. The four lamb skewers would definitely make you full. Awesome dining experience!

I've been to Simply Greek handful of times over the past year and am always blown away by the friendly customer service and tasty food. There is beautiful outdoor seating and cozy interior seating. If you don't like Greek food, definitely try the burger! My husband is never impressed with burgers, but made an audible & appreciative noise upon tasting this one. I love the mousaka, chicken souvlaki, Greek salad and feta fries. This place needs some love, so definitely consider dining in sometime soon!

I really love the food I got at this place, the kebab was bussin bussin. A little salty and especially if you pair it with the French fries but the flavor of the pork is exquisite 👌 😋 . The lamb chop was also good but I would go for the pork kebab over the lamb chop. The server is also very good at refilling our water every 5-10min and they are very friendly and kind asking us if we needed anything else.

I went to this restaurant for lunch with my parents. We all enjoyed it a lot because the food was delicious and service was excellent. Apparently, in addition to their regular menu there is a lunch special where you can pick dishes with soup and a salad for $18. Even though this looked like a great deal, we decided to try a lot of other items from a regular menu. Everything that we ordered was delicious so I can definitely recommend this restaurant.

REVIEW FROM AN ACTUAL GREEK PERSON: friends and neighbors, it has been a very long time since I have found GOOD Greek food. My grandma passed in 2004 and she was an absolute magician in the kitchen. Her food was legendary and is still talked about to this day. So to say I have high standards would be an understatement. Nothing has come close, including most of the places I've tried in Astoria. That is why I am very glad to have found this new, incredible establishment in the neighborhood. It is located on 5th between President and Carroll. I ordered delivery from here a couple times - once the skirt steak and once the rack of lamb - and both times everything was so great that I decided to stop by in person. The flavors were phenomenal and everything was cooked perfectly. They even use the correct amount of lemon in their lemon potatoes (a ton). They also know how to make a Greek salad the way they do in Greece - no lettuce and a stack of vegetables with a big block of feta on top. And not only do they have great food, but they have beautiful decor, street seating, and a lovely little deck in back. I've been to other "Greek" restaurants in the neighborhood and the food and the prices are way off. This is truly the spot for authentic Greek and we are so lucky to have it.

Great quality food, generous portions and good prices. The outdoor backyard is really nice and their indoor space is super cute as well. We had the grilled halloumi, beet salad and lamb platter *chef kiss*.

Potentially one of the best greek restaurants in all NYC. There is a great attention to detail in this place, from the tableware to presentation of each item. The very tasty olives set the right mood for a unique dining experience, the tzatziki is on-point, olive oil drizzled on the salad is extra virgin imported material and the spices really bring up the flavor of the dishes. The lamb souvlaki is my favourite, but I strongly recommend the burgers too.

We had an early brunch at this charming Greek restaurant with a beautiful outdoor garden setting and authentic food. We ordered the Marouli Salad with added grilled octopus, as well as the beet salad topped with shrimp. Both dishes were large portions and incredibly fresh, flavorful, and well-balanced--perfectly showcasing Mediterranean ingredients. Our waiter was exceptionally attentive, likely helped by the fact that it was still early and not too busy. Definitely a great spot if you're looking for fresh Greek cuisine in a tranquil outdoor setting.

Great place the food was awesome Ordered the sesame Tuna with fingerling potatoes - the sesame crust was perfectly cooked crisp yet danced between crunchy and tender. The salmon was great.

A neat and cozy place. The waiter was so nice and knowledgeable about the food. The beet salad was really delicious. I am afraid I cannot say the same thing for the dishes we ordered. Dolmas miss the taste. I appreciate it that they make their own but the taste wasn’t there. Mousakka and Plaki were too sweet. I should have asked if they used sugar. The dinner was overpriced. The dish sizes were good but I found the dishes too expensive.

Service was very friendly but food was overpriced and bland, barely seasoned at all. The space and people are very nice but the quality of the food is just not at all worth the price. If you’re looking for good greek food in the area, I highly recommend Athena’s.
