    Our favorite restaurant in Astoria! They mix great Greek food with a fun and modern atmosphere. The coffee rubbed steak is one of my favorite meals of all time! The servers are always the best too.

    A lovely place to eat in Astoria with a nice menu of Greek inspired dishes. I especially like the hummus, tzatziki, grilled chicken and salads.

    From the service to the ambiance all was exceptional. The feta cubes, the kontosouvli, the zucchini curls, the octopus and drinks were all spot. Can’t wait to come again- Bravo! 👍🏽👍🏽

    We had the best meal & night out! We selected 5 plates that were shared and we ordered the Dubai Loukoumades for dessert. Delicious!

    Ovelia never disappoints. Food, drinks, ambience are always on point. Dinner last night was great. Skirt steak and feta cubes were 10/10.
