Took mom and dad to Taverna Kyclades in Astoria (the OG location) which is known to be one of the best Greek spots in NYC.
For appetizers, we ordered assorted greek dips - Skordalia (garlic and potato), tzatziki ((yogurt, cucumber), taramosalata (bread, fish eggs), tirokafteri (spicy feta), grilled octopus, crab meat stuffed clams, Spanakopita (Spinach Pie).
For main, we got scallops, Synagrida (Grilled Red Snapper), Sardeles (Fried sardines), and Paidaki (Grilled lamb) with sides - Patates Fournou (Lemon Roasted Potatoes), Patates Tiganites (Fried Potatoes), Horta (Swiss Chard), Rizi (Rice).
For dessert we had Galaktoboureko (custard pie) and Baklava.
This was one of the best restaurants we’ve been to in New York. The food is not fancy or overly seasoned with spices but extremely fresh and well-cooked. It tasted like eating at a Greek family’s home. For what we ate, the bill was not bad at all. The amazing lady who was serving us was Greek but reminded me of my own aunt with a tough, straight talking but super hospitable vibe 😂
The only downside is they don’t take reservation. We went on a Tuesday night and still waited 1 hour 30 min to be seated but was well worth it in my opinion. They have different locations but I heard Astoria one is the best.
