Homey Greek plates and tzatziki on a Bayside patio
Settle onto the patio for generous Greek plates, standout tzatziki, and traditional Greek wines at an unhurried Bayside pace.
🫒 Homemade Greek Comfort in Bayside
Bell Boulevard runs busy through Bayside, and Avli sets a calmer table just off the sidewalk. The contemporary room carries the feel of being invited into a home, with generous plates of seafood, souvlaki, and lamb chops arriving at an unhurried pace. Regulars steer newcomers toward the spanakopita and the well-regarded vegetarian moussaka, both easy to share across a crowded table. Whole-wheat pita comes on request, and the drinks list stays traditional with Greek wines and red sangria. The tzatziki lands thick and cool, a standard by which the rest of the meze gets measured. Portions run large enough to carry home, and the staff keep a warm, attentive rhythm that suits families and groups. When the weather turns, the outdoor patio opens for long, easy dinners. Doors open at 11:30 AM, seven days a week.
