Telly's Tavern Astoria Reviews
We had the BEST birthday dinner! Food was divine and the staff was SO nice and helpful. Octopus and saganaki are must haves, Greek salad is huge (we had the small size) and the unlimited warm bread was heavenly! The house white wine was delicious and affordable. The staff sang happy birthday for us and brought us a sparkler candle, highly recommend!
I can't get enough of what they serve at this restaurant. This staff member showed real personality and engagement. The meal preparation and service attention were notable. The place has warmth, helpful servers, and minimal but nice design. The visit was wonderful; I'll come again :)
As always worth every penny ! What a wonderful dinner we had today, we were so lucky to have Rafaela today ! She is honestly one in a million ! What a beautiful person, from the moment she greets us to the moment she says goodbye ... always a pleasure to dine in a place where they make you feel like family. Besides the wonderful and kind service, you cant go wrong with the food. The octopus is a must !!!!! Its the most tenderness, flavorful octopus you'll have in NY. I love the saganaki, the baklava, the salads, the fried calamari ... we tried the pasticcio for the first time and it was delicious. All the busboys and staff are wonderful, I have to say nowadays you rarely find an establishment with people that actually care about their jobs ... this place is always consistent with the people they hire. I love Tellys and will continue supporting them.
I came on a Sunday at 11:30 and dined alone for various unfortunate reasons. I was there until almost 2 and left much happier than when I went in. They made me an individual Greek salad which was very fresh with huge chunks of feta. I was also given half a loaf of very good bread. The tender lamb kabob with crispy potatoes was significantly more food than I had room for but I persevered. After all this I had to forgo dessert which is simply a travesty and instead ordered a hot tea to attempt to steady myself before going out into 90 degree heat. No one rushed me, they continued to refill my water glass as I made peace with my stomach. Suddenly a plate with a napkin and fork appeared. I checked underneath for a bill but it wasn’t there. Then a plate of the most beautiful and delicious Loukoumades I have ever eaten was placed before me. They were crunchy and feather light, coated and sitting in a pool of pure honey. Suddenly I felt able to chew again and I ate each one, savoring it slowly. Delicate crunch, soft inside, thick sweet honey. Hey, some days you just get lucky.
great place for family and friends, very spacious and easy going vibes. the decor and furniture made us feel like we were in greece. the food was all delicious. menu highlights: lemon chicken soup (creamy and delicious), the dips (we devoured them), and the meat platter (great assortment doused in olive oil). we were so hungry and excited for the food that we forgot to let the phone eat first.
We just had Friendsgiving last night. The service was great. The food was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was chill and relaxing. I can't wait to come back, but I might have to make a quick stop some time to get the Greek version of their donuts and one of their feta dips just because.
Came here to celebrate my mothers birthday. Made a reservation the day before, beautiful place, bigger in the inside! Our waitress was Amenda, she was very accommodating to all of our needs. Food is good. Prices aren’t cheap, service is good, the place was not busy, which was nice. We were able to alert the staff that it was mom’s birthday and they came with a giant sparkler and sang HB! As with most Greek cuisine, they give you complimentary Greek donuts as a dessert :) Not shown is the grilled octopus and fried calamari, rib eye steak, moussaka and bread. Nice place to go for the family.
The food here is extremely fresh and extremely well prepared. We only had the Greek salad, fried calamari and grilled octopus for lunch and the food was delicious. The food in my opinion is even better than Kyclades which has been my favorite Greek restaurant for a long time but I have to say this place might be a little bit better...
Found out about this place on Instagram, went during the New York food week but it doesn’t serve the $21 menu on the weekends (bummer) i didn’t know. Anyways, honestly it’s a paradise for cheese and fish lovers. We had a humus platter, soooo good! They give you a loaf of bread on the side, chewy and good. Pita bread was a little overdone but I won’t complain. We had baked cheese, chicken and fish. The drinks were so good. Not a super extensive menu, but we asked if they can make them stronger and I literally couldn’t tell, they were good. They also have a small store at the entrance if you wanna buy some fish. It’s around $140 for 2 including 2 drinks each. I’d definitely recommend the place, nice vibes. Until aug 8 2021 try to go on the weekdays for the NY restraint week menu.
Comfort food to the max. The most delicious prawns with awesome sides. Lamd or sea can not go wrong
I went for my Anniversary, made reservations. Thet table we were seated at was up against another so you have to sit on one side 3 of us cramped. I was having dinner with 4 other strangers I was facing, it was an hour and a half wait for the appetizers. They were great, then another hour for the food. I don't know why they didn't bring it all at once, I ordered a chicken kabob burned to a crisp and the soutzukakia meat was spoiled. If your idea of a great evening with your family is to be squeazed into a wall and sitting so close to another table that you are practically dining with them, and food that isnt fresh, then this is your place. This was well overpriced. The waitress was nice.
