Avli

The food is good, but overpriced for what you get.

My favorite Greek.  Firstly, the people that work there are SO nice.  Everytime.  They were extremely helpful when I brought my handicapped grandpa in for dinner.  Secondly, the food is amazing.  Compare it to Gyro Corner or any place around and it kicks their butts.  Lemon Potatoes are so amazing.  The falafel is delicious.  Spanokopita is the best I've had.  Great vegetarian options.  You can't go wrong here.

Lemon Potatoes. One of the most delicious iterations of a potato. I love this kind of potato even more than baked potatoes with works. More than a cheesy gratin aux pomme de terres. More than french fries.Yes, more than french fries.Avli made  me some of the best lemon potatoes I have had in a long time. I was in potato heaven!Yes, the lamb was cooked well. And the chicken (though a little dry). The stuffed grape leaves were OK; the salmon roe and hummus were much better.All in all a very nice experience food-wise. I didn't sit there, but ordered to go so I can't comment on the service other than that they were pretty on target with the prep time for the food. And because of those lemon potatoes (and the lamb), I'll be back.

Tuesday evening and the place is packed, which is a good sign.I felt bad for the sweet waitress because she was pretty much by herself dealing with a full house.   She still tried hard, was very nice and got our food to us surprisingly quick despite the customer volume.  The prices were very reasonable and the portions were huge!  My gyro sandwich was ginormous, packed with fresh meat -- the way a gyro should be made.  It was picture perfect.My only gripe was with the tatziki sauce...it was too thick and didn't really taste like traditional tatziki.  That being said, it was a great meal despite the annoying 40+ singles Joey Buttafuoco guido sitting next to us with his skanky date talking so loud about his gym escapades who I wanted to punch in the face.  But then I remember that I am in Bayside and this is the typical clientele along Bell Blvd. * deep breath *Other than that, dinner was lovely :-)

I love Avli's Gyro sandwich and platter!  I havce been using Avli as the benchmark of excellence for all other Gyro places in Bayside and so far, none have measured up.  Anyway, it dawned on me that I've never written a review for Avli!  So here goes, I love this place...I really really do. The Gyro seasoning, saltiness, etc. is PERFECT (for my taste buds).  Their greek salad is always SO FRESH and crisp...And their lemon potatoes..YUM... I believe the place is owned by 2 bros. One is a bit on the serious side and the other is very friendly...but whatever...the food is GREAT and before i forget...the price is VERY REASONABLE....

All Ive had here was the was the gyro.. but its damn tasty and filling.  A bottle of water and a gyro set me back six bucks!  AWESOME!   Im hesitant to try another other place on Bell after knowing this is so good.Its always clean inside, and looks very welcoming.  Certainly not a dive by any stretch of the word.  Plus its cheaper and more filling than Press 195, without  the bar feel. why dont i come here more often?

Pretty good Greek restaurants. Their gyros are really good. The staff is a little young, but they're friendly.  Normally I go here with a large group, and everyone is always satisfied.

The food here is good. Their lemon potatoes are awesome. I had the falafel and was not disappointed. There was lots of pita and tzatziki sauce to go around. The only thing is the wait for the food was very long. Otherwise no complaints. Check it out when you're on Bell.
