Have never had anything bad from here. The grilled octopus is exceptional - smoky yet tender and not at all rubbery. Excellent homemade galaktaboureko - creamy and not overly sweet.
If you’re looking for fresh, delicious Greek/Mediterranean cuisine please look no further. From customer service to the tasty dishes, I give them 5 stars. Our waiters, Jose and Gabriel were very attentive to us, refilling our water, giving us extra hot pita slices when we run out. Our party really enjoyed the ambient atmosphere. The grilled fish tasted fresh and delicious. The chicken souvlaki and lamb chops were well seasoned and tasty. And the warm pita bread with olive garlic dip was just the best we ever had. Will be coming back!! Thank you for such a lovely service.
Amazing. The food, the prices, the service everything is just quality! The people who work there like Jose and Gabriel are the sweetest and most attentive staff ! Thank you for making us feel truly welcomed. The food is fresh and good quality. We will be coming back here all the time.
I have been here many times for lunch or dinner. If anything the place is getting better and better over time. Food is always good. Now they have a lunch menu that is really good. And of course, the friendliest staff!
Don’t understand why Elia Taverna’s service has deteriorated so much. Food is decent, hence the service is absolutely as if they doing you a favor … Hope the management changes this.
My Greek friend took me to Elia Taverna to celebrate my birthday. Everything was delicious. From fresh salad, lemon soup, the main dish, dessert and coffee. It was delightful experience.
We've previously ordered takeout from this Greek restaurant and the food was so good we wanted to visit in person. And it did not disappoint. For appetizers, my fiance had the grilled octopus which is so delicious and I had the shrimp in tomato sauce with feta cheese-also really good. As entrees, we had the grilled fish and lamb kebob with lemon potatoes. Everything was really fresh, cooked perfectly and seasoned well. We tried both the white and red sangrias, which were refreshing and delicious. We'll definitely be back!
First time here! Easy access from Cross County Shopping center heading north. Welcomed upon entry. This simple yet tasty Resturant is a nice change up.
The price is reasonable but the food is very good. We had the tomato and cucumber/ olive salad. (Small perfect for 3 people). Had the special “Gram ma’s 1 pot stew, lamb, peas, potatoes, and more. Full of flavor. Also had the Lamb Chops. Cooked perfect and tender. Came with melt in your mouth Lemon potato. Both priced under $30.00.
Greek Sauvignon Blanc white was tasty at $10.00 a glass. (Great deal).
First but not the last time at this delicious Resturant. Take out traffic was very popular while we were there. Try it! There is nothing to loose!

Me and the missus went here and had the best food and house wine the staff is amazing and so friendly I advise you strongly to go here!
We just stumbled upon this place on our way to MA and i am glad we did. The service is quick, food is delicious and they have veg options as well. Their tzatziki is to die for, it’s the best tzatziki I have ever had.
We’ve only had take out so can’t comment on atmosphere - but the food is fantastic. Every time we call they are super friendly and responsive. We love everything we’ve gotten - the dips, salads, spanakopita, and the imam. Portions are extremely generous. We go out of our way to pick it up and it’s always worth it.
It's been a while since I had Greek food I used to go almost daily when I loved in long island. The prices were reasonable for a gyro sandwich, it was not bad, everything felt fresh but I wasn't blown away. I got the chicken gyro, it could have been juicier and the sauce didn't have much flavor. We bought sangria which was bottled but it also lacked flavor and didn't have the wow factor like when you go to pío pío. Either way i can't say it's a bad place but I wasn't impressed with they gyro or sangria. Server was very kind and attentive. My two favorite places are back in long island, still yet to find something that comes even close.
The place is very nice, cozy and clean and the staff was attentive and polite. The food was good. The meat platter was very good, the French fries were not fresh, the saganaki needed more cooking so that the cheese inside could melt and the seftalies were overcooked.

Authentic Greek Restaurant, BYOB, they also serve wine. The appetizers are great, such as the: grilled octopus and artichoke dish. Our main course was the whole Branzino fish, it was fresh, lightly seasoned and cooked properly. Dessert was good too. The owner is a great guy, he showed me the grill area to show me how they prepare the fish. Very personable owner, waiters are attentive. Highly recommend, definitely would go back. We found a Greek gem in the neighborhood.
