Zenon Taverna

Zenon Taverna is a Greek restaurant located in Astoria, NYC. We visited on a Saturday evening and were one of the last groups to get seated without a reservation. There was a 30-60 minute wait that appeared afterwards. The food was all pretty average Greek food. There was a lot of it - we didn't manage to finish our meals.

Items Ordered

Kotopoulo Souvlaki - Chicken Kebab

Kotopoulo Souvlaki - Chicken Kebab

The chicken souvlaki platter came with sides of greek salad, and one other item (your choice of lemon potatoes, french fries, or rice). The chicken was moist and flavorful with a nicely charred exterior. There was tons of it - I probably managed to finish about half of it before getting completely full. The lemon potatoes were quite good - they were moist on the interior and nicely fried on the outside.

Arnisia Keftedakia - Lamb Meatballs

Arnisia Keftedakia - Lamb Meatballs

The lamb meatball platter came with sides of greek salad, and one other item (your choice of lemon potatoes, french fries, or rice). The meatballs were served in a yellow sauce that was quite nice. The quantity of meatballs was just about right, but I would have happily traded half the meatballs for some other vegetables. Just having a plate of meatballs for dinner didn't seem like a proper dinner.
