Avli is by far my favorite Greek restaurant. It's mainly just for takeout/delivery for me as the interior is small, but the staff is very nice and you can't beat this place for quality of food, everything is delicious. The tzaziki in particular has way more flavor than any I've had from other places. It's so good that I always order a large appetizer portion so there's plenty to share because we put it on everything! Over the past year, Avli has become the only Greek restaurant I ever order from. Even though we've cut back on how often we order food (trying to cook more at home), their food is so good that I have to order from there at least once every month or two.

First time here, took an order to go and ate in my car (seats inside were all barstools but the table was too high to comfortably eat). Unfortunately not great. The salad was amazing! It was extremely fresh, the feta cheese was amazing, and the vinaigrette they added was amazing. However the gyro meat was very sad. I’m assuming I came later in the day and just got the crumbs leftover but it was all grounded, no long shreds like typical gyro meat and it was in a pool of grease that got my fries all greasy too. The pita bread was also overcooked and go hard. So overall, unfortunately would not recommend. Another thing is some of the pricing on their menu items is a bit wonky. For example, you can add a pita for $1.5, but if I wanted a side of tzatziki with that, I would’ve needed to get thei

Don’t normally do reviews but felt like this needed to be said. Food is great. But customer service by some individuals is horrible. Walked in on the owner yelling the other day just cursing on the phone. Thank god I do take out. And not to forget. It’s always someone new at the front. Employee turnover seems high.

Today I tried the half lemon chicken from Avli, and I have to say, it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. If you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend giving it a shot—definitely a great addition to their menu!

Their Gyros are awesome! I stopped here while visiting New York and I was impressed. I absolutely love Gyros and this is definitely on my top 5 places ever. The staff was welcoming and gave us great service.
