Any info on new bakery on Austin St.?
Funny u say this. I always pass Marthas bakery in astoria and their decor is so nice and there cakes and sweets look awesome BUT every time i try something I'm disappointed. As for their cupcakes, they have that eggy smell to them which really maked me want to vomit . Sooo, i stoped going . Sorry Marthas.
Uncle Georges CLOSED
I really dont get it. I hate this place.
Im also wondering ....people who go there for the lamb, dont they wonder where they are getting it from, when all day there has not been a single lamb roasting on their spit??? i guess its roasting in there refrigerator???
JJ's Fusion now fusing sugar, bad Chinese, and badder sushi
jj fusion was my favorite for sushi in astoria but the last time i went it was "absolutely different". It wasnt horrible but it just wasnt the same and everything was sweet. We ordered rolls which were ok and the salmon dish which was drenched in a very very sweet sauce (almost not edible). I asked someone who knew the chef very well and he told me that the original chef is gone and that he opened his own place. I'll try to find out the name of the place. Stay Tuned.
Anyone know where to get small pumpkins?
i recently saw them at walbaums and in general most supermarkets. Usually by the entrance.
Sanford Restaurant - Astoria's best diner?
just wanted to update everyone!
the sanford diner was renovated probably in 2007 and has become slightly different then what it was. After hearing a few good reviews i attempted to revisit after many years. The decor was very nice although i felt like i was in a sushi joint. My friend ordered the pulled pork sandwich and i had a burger. we also ordered fries (gross and very oily similar to BK) and a salad to share. the salad was good. the pulled pork had a very bad pig smell to it and lacked taste. The burger with swiss was very very good, (but for the price it better had been good). Also after leaving i felt like i just ate chinese food, you know that horrible MSG feeling. Maybe they use that for taste?? who knows.
overall i felt for the food we had it was on the expensive side. i think you probably pay for the renovation which was well done but japanese themed (i felt) . i dont think i'll revisit. maybe for the breakfast?? not sure
Uncle Georges CLOSED
Uncle Georges FAILED their health inspection.It is posted on window that health dept shut it down once again. i personally dont like it.
Best Gyro?
You know what is really funny???
The people that own it are Greek and thay are the ones running it with a couple of latin americans,russian,italianstaff etc.
wake up you are in NY most places have people from all over working for them
One other thing "awful" is not a word to describe a landmark like Romanos
but whatever
And as for BZ GRILL I DON'T LIKE IT
WE ALL HAVE OPINIONS

Kebab Cafe in Astoria= disgusting

An Astoria List
FYI
Was this list a link from somewhere else??
You have missed a few good restaurants and also mentioned a few that have closed
ex. Roumeli has been closed for over a decade, syros, karyatis,san souci etc
Also, you are right about Omonias food but his pastries are pretty good
Disappointing NY pizza [Moved from the LA board]
For some strange reason the pizza is always COLD when they serve it
I've heard it from many people
so i stopped going plus it is nothing to brag about
Aliada (Astoria)
I've said it before about Romanos on Broadway
I agree with you it is my favorite place.....especially the gyro
I really feel they have the best Pita Sandwiches in the city
Pita Pan in Astoria--any comments
I personally don't t like the place
gave it one to many chances
Great Greek in Astoria
Lamb or Pork Gyro Romano on Broadway (Lamb gyro is excellent)
Hummus Meditteranean foods or titan supermarket get the "yorgos" hummus
it is very very good
Wedding Receptions: Bx, New Rochelle, etc
Got married at Glen island (the grounds aregorgeous......no question)
Food was very important to us because we felt that many judge a wedding solely on food
and because we like good food
I got so many compliments from everyone especially about cocktail hour
its not your typical catering it is gourmet like
have been to surf club once cant really remember
Good Luck
Where in Astoria (near a subway stop) can I find a good frape?
ATHENS ALL THE WAY!!!
Astoria Broadway Mexican notes
i agree with your opinion except for the BZ grill part
there pork gyro is not seasoned at all
can you please tell me what to Order because everytime i go
there i find there food to be very bland!!!!!
i like the pita breadat times
but i havent gone in a while because i just dont like it
Wedding reception
CAFE ON THE GREEN (BAYSIDE????)
you would probably have it on the first floor where the restaurant is
food is very good
you could just go for dinner and try it out
good luck
Brunch in Astoria??
Didnt take your advice and went to GRAND
The service is awful, awful, awful
went over there and was very disappointed
from the food to the service to the crazy hostess
Seems like maybe it was sold to Russians because the staff was speaking Russian
SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TIME
STAY AWAY!!!!!
Dress code for Asia de Cuba?
you could get away with jeans but you probably should wear a nice button down or blouse and shoes
no sneakers
Sehrana Cafe-Steinway
I found your post interesting and i'll try it out
the only part i disagree about is the baklava because at omonia its very good
I wonder if he had it sitting around for a while
Who knows
pizza in astoria?! fruits de mer?!
I agree about politos but i also love Romanos further down broadway
Small pies are awesome
