    A lovely place to eat in Astoria with a nice menu of Greek inspired dishes. I especially like the hummus, tzatziki, grilled chicken and salads.

    From the service to the ambiance all was exceptional. The feta cubes, the kontosouvli, the zucchini curls, the octopus and drinks were all spot. Can’t wait to come again- Bravo! 👍🏽👍🏽

    We had the best meal & night out! We selected 5 plates that were shared and we ordered the Dubai Loukoumades for dessert. Delicious!

    I already knew going into it that the experience would be nothing less than amazing. As expected, it was. Food and drinks were perfection! Service was outstanding. Overall, it was a great time. Thank you to the entire staff!

    Ovelia never disappoints. Food, drinks, ambience are always on point. Dinner last night was great. Skirt steak and feta cubes were 10/10.

    Made reservation for 1pm - had to wait 20 min to get the table. Meanwhile my table that was suggested I will get was given to someone who came after me. Waiting 15 min for orders to be taken, just horrible service. Food was great! But service disappointing, so never again.
