Ovelia

We’ve been wanting to check out this place for a while! The food was good. The dip trio was good, with the standout being the Kafteri. The hummus and tzatziki were fine but nothing to write home about. The saganaki was also good, but very rich and sweet - I’d say you really need at least 4 people to make this one worth it. For entrees, we got the lamb special, country style chicken & fried calamari. The lamb and chicken were great but I wasn’t the biggest fan of the calamari or the sauce it came with. The main issue I had was the service. Our server was incredibly dry and not personable. I don’t think he smiled once and just overall seemed like he didn’t want to be there. For how much you’re paying at this place, I’d expect to at least be treated a little better.

What an incredible dinner experience. Our server Gabby was such a special part of our visit to Ovelia. She was so knowledgeable on the menu & recommended the best dishes! We shared mussels, halloumi fries, & the thinly cut lamb chops (which were SO delicious.) I am not from the US and lamb is usually smelly here, but this lamb reminded me of home! The Grexican is a really yummy mezcal cocktail to go with your meal. Thank you Gabby for making our experience so wonderful & putting together a wonderful selection of dishes for us. Cant wait to come back and try other things on the menu!

A true staple in Astoria Queens. One of the best spots for lunch, dinner and brunch!! The owners are wonderful and their team is exceptional, specially Kolleen, the manager. She’s the best!! Pete and Chris have truly outdone themselves with the location and the food. Been here plenty of times, the cocktails are excellent and the food is delicious.

Good brunch spot with Greek twist. Food was good, with reasonable portions. Music a bit loud for my personal liking but fun spot. Does have all you can drink add on for those interested.

Ovelia on Astoria’s 30th Avenue is the perfect spot for a memorable meal. Take advantage of the summer weather with their inviting outdoor dining. Whether it’s brunch, lunch, or dinner, Ovelia delivers every time. You’ll immediately feel the team’s genuine passion through their warm and attentive hospitality. Cocktails are bold and flavorful, while the dishes are both authentically Greek and beautifully presented. With vibrant flavors, a cozy atmosphere, and outstanding service, Ovelia is a must visit for anyone craving top notch Greek cuisine in NYC especially in Astoria.
