Review Telly's Taverna - Astoria

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...

Always a fun meal at Tellys . We usually have a large group and order everything we love. We mixed fish and meats this visit. It’s also great to be treated with kindness. Thank you all.

Such a staple in astoria. Excellent food, very consistent and comfortable. Never feels overcrowded and on top of each other.

Drove from Huntington, Long Island to have dinner here with my son, who raved about it. Yes, it was that good. We spent a small fortune...you'd think we were food critics with how much we ordered! But we shared almost everything starting with the trio of dips -- the pita was lovely and smoky! And the salad, sausage for my son and the special seafood combo platter and lemon potatoes was shared!! Red and white house wine was good and Greek! We finished with shared dessert. Add a generous tip and we were busted! But great food, great memories and window seat. Get here early as they fill up fast...locals love this place!

Every bite was amazing. We got the Greek salad, saganaki, fried squid, shrimp scampi and finished off with pudding in philo dough and the best baklava I've ever had! Would recommend and will be back soon. Also the service was very friendly and very attentive.

Grilled fish was 🔥🔥lemon potatoes were great as well . Great ambience & a very nice place to dine out with friends & family

Family style cozy Greek tavern. I ordered sardines and Greek salad for dinner. Generous portions full of flavour. One of my favourite spots in the neighbourhood.

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!

Absolutely delicious. Best spinach pie I’ve ever had. And free dessert — so good. Would recommend to anyone in Astoria!
