Free, unlimited pita and hummus starters with the most heavenly hummus I have ever tasted. The sea bass was perfectly cooked (moist, fatty, and balanced) with a tomato sauce that gently complimented the natural flavors of the fish. The atmosphe...

The Avra Estiatorio is amazing and well-renowned restaurant that offers guests superb quality service and highly delicious Greek style cuisine ranging from grilled fish, lamb chops, lobster pasta and many other dishes.
In September of 2025, I ...
brought and treated my wife and myself for dinner at Avra Estiatorio, specifically the Avra 48th Street branch to celebrate my wife’s birthday. We very much enjoyed our dining experience!!!
We were kindly greeted by the restaurant’s staff and were quickly provided with a very clean and comfortable dining table.
Both my wife and I were impressed with the restaurant’s ambiance and interior settings. We definitely enjoyed viewing the chic white color scheme on the walls and ceiling, dim lighting, the marble floor and display of fresh food, all of which helped evoke an image of a serene and tranquil Greek courtyard or village.
Our server, Esmeralnta S and her colleague were both consummate professionals. They both did a great job on addressing our menu inquiries, properly documenting our orders, and routinely checked with us to see if we were having a great time and enjoying our meals. They were very kind and welcoming and made us feel right at home.
In addition to great atmosphere and settings, both my wife and I loved our meals. We both ordered and enjoyed our appetizers and our lamb chops entree. We found our meal to be mouthwatering delicious because it was perfectly cooked and superbly seasoned!!! Additionally, our cheesecake dessert was off the charts and wonderfully delightful!!!
My wife and I would love to thank Avra Estiatorio for providing us with an exceptional and memorable dining experience, and for helping to celebrate my wife’s birthday. We highly recommend for everyone to visit and dine at this outstanding restaurant!!!

Great food and service! Amazing atmosphere, pretty high level attention to detail and great service. The only downside in my opinion is that it takes a while for the main entrees to come out. I believe we waited around 25-30 minutes after order...

Avra 48 is right by my apartment. I usually go to the 60th & Madison location but wanted to give this one another try. Service was great and the brunch/lunch deal is unbeatable.
Went on a Sunday at 4pm—it was quiet, we sat outside for two hour...
s and never felt rushed. Food was excellent: the Greek salad (always a hit), hot and flaky spanakopita, and the branzino—which Avra first made me fall in love with. They kindly removed the head when I asked, and it was still a 10/10. Dessert was the strawberry cheesecake—tiny portion, but creamy and delicious.
