Parents visited and I really wanted to take them to an exceptional restaurant. The food was delicious but we had three different inattentive waiters. We felt neglected and became eager to end the prolonged experience. Again - food was excellent. Could’ve just been a bad day for the staff.

First time dining at this establishment. The highlight was the grilled calamari-highly recommended. Excellent grilled zucchini. Tasty pea stew. Average lemon/chicken soup. Good branzino fish. Disappointing grilled lamb chops-three small chops, a bit fatty. They were nicely seasoned but for the price, a poor value. Ordered them medium rare and got them medium well. Difficult to measure cooking temperature when dealing with skinny chops. Put off by 3.99% add on fee for credit card use-must be embarrassed to make it 4%. Will return again but will bring cash.

I took my daughter and her boyfriend for Easter dinner. We ordered the Fish Mezze and it did not disappoint! Hot and cold apps, Octopus, Calamari and the Dorato was delicious! We enjoyed the warm homemade pita with the hummus and olives as well. The service was great, and although they were busy, they made us feel special. We will definitely be back!

We went out on a Friday night with a reservation, but still needed to wait for more than 15 minutes for a table. We didn’t mind at all because the staff were excellent. They were attentive to our needs (we had a stroller with us), they kept up posted and were checking on us during the waiting time. For me, that is good customer service. Their food is great and wait time for the food is reasonable. We will definitely be back :)

I hadn’t been to this restaurant in quite awhile. My boyfriend and I decided to give it a try and venture out on a cold, snowy Friday night. We were a bit early for our reservation but seated right away. I kept it light and ordered a soup and salad. My boyfriend had the mixed grill. The chicken on my salad, and the meats in my boyfriends dish were delicious and grilled to perfection and flavorful. We enjoyed our meal and will be back! We live down the street and love dining out, local.

While the food was good, I was disappointed with the service, particularly the time in which it took us to receive a table and the time to get food. They have a small kitchen that does not seem fully equipped to handle all the outdoor searing.

My family and I have been coming here since we came to America over 20 years ago. Such an amazing experience with hearty food. The owners are such nice people too ! Unfortunately due to the vaccine mandate, doesn’t look like we’ll be dining in anymore but everyone should try their salmon and ESPECIALLY their lemon potatoes ! Aliada’s lemon potatoes have been #1 among all the Greeks spots that I’ve been to in NY, Florida, and Toronto. Thank you guys for the hospitality 🙏🏼

I loved this place. The ambiance and moderate noise coming from broadway made my date entertained and fun. If you're hungry you should have the mezedes, it's a lot of food including sides and appetizers, closing with a delicious branzino. Our server was very friendly and honest about the quantity of food. I'll come back to try the cocktails, I just tried the Greek beers.

This was the second trip to Aliada since moving to Astoria. The first was for lunch with a colleague; this time was for an elaborate, family dinner. I cannot praise Aliada enough. The staff is accommodating and attentive. We wanted a table outside in their lovely portico. They moved tables from indoors to give us a corner spot for our group of six. The waiter was friendly but not intrusive. All of our orders were accurate. We had multiple starters including both the halloumi and saganaki, octopus, giant beans, shieftalia, and red beets with skordalia. All were excellent although the shieftalia could have been more seasoned. The giant beans and beets were exceptional. Entrees, likewise, were all good. At the table we had lamb chops (4 are served!), salads, sea bass, swordfish kebab, and the burger that has sakanki as the cheese. Wines were reasonably priced. There are many Greek options in Astoria, but if you want to introduce someone to the cuisine, go with Aliada.

I just moved to Astoria and brought a friend who was not familiar with Greek food. There are many choices in the neighborhood and since I heard good things about Aliada, I gave it a try and was not disappointed. Upon being seated, we were served hummus with warmed pita bread. The waitstaff was attentive, but not hovering. The beets with skordalia and micro greens are delicious. The horiatiki Greek chopped salad was fresh and made to order based on our requests. My guest had the salad with grilled shrimp, which were closer to the size of lobster tails. Great experience and I will be back.
