    Food is very good but wish we were not charged to substitute potatoes or rice for vegetables . At least tell us it’s an add on price before we get the bill . It’s the little things that make a restaurant worth coming to .

    We had the best time and loved our menu choices which included the trio spread sampler, moussaka and the chicken skewer entree. My daughter and I loved everything and look forward to enjoying our leftovers at home. Service was great in the very busy dining room! We love Avli.

    Dined with our friends with whom we traveled to Greece recently, and who have been to Avli many times, and we agreed that the freshness and preparation of the food was almost like the “real thing” in Greece. Our waiter Demetri was excellent as well.

    Disappointed that they took their green beans off the menu. They were a favorite. Used to like this restaurant. Seems like the food wasn’t as good as in the past. And without the green beans we’re not likely to go back soon.
