A true staple in Astoria Queens. One of the best spots for lunch, dinner and brunch!! The owners are wonderful and their team is exceptional, specially Kolleen, the manager. She’s the best!!

Good brunch spot with Greek twist. Food was good, with reasonable portions. Music a bit loud for my personal liking but fun spot. Does have all you can drink add on for those interested.

My first time at Ovelia was incredible.Sitting outside & enjoying our food was the best way to spend Saturday night. Our server Gaby was such a great person, really attentive. She answered all of our questions and was helpful with recommending the daily specials. We started with fried calamari and halloumi nuggets, both of which were so delicious! Followed by our main Entrees of country style chicken and their special of the night- seafood pasta. My boyfriend was impressed with his espresso which he said might be better than his favorite coffee shop.I would definitely recommend everything we tried!

What an incredible dinner experience. Our server Gabby was such a special part of our visit to Ovelia. She was so knowledgeable on the menu & recommended the best dishes! We shared mussels, halloumi fries, & the thinly cut lamb chops (which were SO delicious.) I am not from the US and lamb is usually smelly here, but this lamb reminded me of home! The Grexican is a really yummy mezcal cocktail to go with your meal. Thank you Gabby for making our experience so wonderful & putting together a wonderful selection of dishes for us. Cant wait to come back and try other things on the menu!

First time visiting this place!! Cozy Greek restaurant Great atmosphere, good food & good service too We ordered a lot of plates to share amount them the Greek salad, grilled octopus , Burgers, mussels Meze (We find out the burger a little bit dry and the mussels should have more “broth”) . We were seating at the table next to the door, I really loved the outdoor sensation even if you’re not seating outside.

Date night at a local Greek Institute. Everyone told me this place was their favorite Greek restaurant around here and I can clearly see why. A mix of modern takes on Greek dishes including some wild fusion delights. Highly recommend trying a few of the fusion dishes, including the Greek melt, their beautiful lamb in the sandwich form feeling like an American take on Greek classic. And also have to try their Baklava Cinnamon Roll —- totally unique, dessert and something I will have to be back for soon.
