" I recently had dinner at Telly's Taverna, and I have to say, it was an incredible experience! The grilled octopus was perfectly cooked, tender, and bursting with flavor. The ambiance had a lovely Greek vibe, and the service staff were attentive and friendly. We were even treated to warm bread while we waited for our entrees. Best of all, the portion sizes were generous without being overwhelming. I definitely plan on coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a nice dinner at Telly's last weekend. The vibe is cozy and friendly, making it a great spot for gatherings. The food was tasty; we had a mix of appetizers and it was fresh. However, I felt the service could be a little quicker, as we waited a long time for our main course. They did kindly offer us dessert on the house, which was a sweet gesture. I'd be happy to give it another try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Telly's Taverna is quite the gem! My husband and I had a wonderful birthday dinner here recently. The service was outstanding, and the staff even surprised us with a complimentary dessert to celebrate the occasion. I personally loved the spinach pie and the baklava was a perfect ending. The atmosphere was intimate yet lively, and we truly felt cared for. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a nice night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an amazing experience! The quality of food at Telly's was unmatched. We started with mezze, which were all fresh and packed with flavor. Then, we moved onto our main courses. Each dish was beautiful and delectable. The environment is bustling—definitely feels like a community hub. Though a bit loud, it wasn't unpleasant. I would definitely recommend it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining at Telly's after reading all the rave reviews, and while the food was generally good, I found it a bit overrated. The calamari was rubbery, and the portions felt smaller than expected given the price point. The feta cheese appetizer was nice, and the staff was polite, but my overall experience left a bit more to be desired. I may give it another try but won’t rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Telly's is a must-visit if you're in Astoria. The ambiance is what you'd expect from a Greek taverna—soft lighting and lovely decor. We ordered the homemade dips and the grilled fish platter, which was fresh and delicious. The service was prompt, and our server was knowledgeable about the menu. I left feeling satisfied and can't wait to return for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner here last week and the food stole the show! Each dish was bursting with authentic Mediterranean flavors. We tried a variety of dishes and no one left feeling hungry. Service was fast and very attentive; our server ensured we had everything we needed. I loved the choices on the menu and can't wait to try more next time! " (*Curated Review*)
