Telly's Taverna - Astoria

“As many reviewers mentioned, the octopus here is really good. Overall, it’s a solid Greek restaurant. Back when I lived in the neighborhood, this place felt like my kitchen. I came here regularly. The good thing is, nothing has really changed since then.”

“Telly’s is a major establishment here in Astoria. They serve fresh Greek food. Our fish was deboned by Allies. She was great. The place was packed on a Saturday night.”

“Made a quick pit stop here while my flight was delayed and I'm so happy I did. I enjoyed my solo dinner here. Sophia the waitress was a sweetheart. The food was amazing especially the grilled octopus. The place was gorgeous. I will definitely be back!!!”

“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.”

“I'm sorry to say that Telly's has lost its attraction. The food has dropped in quality.. Started with salad and haloumni cheese . Salad had more onions than I have ever seen and the feta cheese sour...the haloumni very poor quality. Had grilled octopus. Was only boiled not even charred or a little sign of grilling. My wife ordered bronzino. Was asked if they would de bone it. Half of it was gone. And the rest we took it home. Very disappointed I loved this place but ill never go back again. The service very poor, felt like every waitress was on her first day...table wasn't set up. Asked for napkins 4 times .. Ordered medium Greek coffee. Never served. Then we asked for the check We took the bringing to go.. see picture attached.”
