Food - Excellent, we had 8 of us in our party - for our main(s) we had lil' bit of everything. Fish, chicken, lamb, pork, octopus and rabbit. All of them as good as we have had anywhere. Apps, sides and dessert were also up to task. Prices - I thought were more then fair. Room - cozy and comfortable. Service - is where Loukoumi shines - from the moment we walked in the door we immediately felt like we were regulars there - attentive pleasant and appreciative. (Other establishments should take note).

Food was great. Service was erratic but everyone was so nice. It was a beautiful day and we ate outside and just enjoyed the food, neighborhood and wine. The indoor restaurant was charming too .

Greek comfort food in a family friendly space. The restaurant is larger than it seems. The menu has a variety of options and each plate seems like it was made by a friend or relative. The Loukoumi Chips were particularly good. The service is helpful and attentive.

I'd rate Loukoumi four and a half stars. Fantastic neighborhood Greek spot. I wish all neighborhoods had a cozy Greek place like this. We walked in with friends on New Year's Day and were seated immediately. We started with the Greek salad and the four dips platter. The platter was a hit. It had tzatziki, taramasalata, babaghanoush, and a creamy potato dip. The creamy potato dip also came with the fried zucchini chips. The chips had a thicker but non-greasy fry to them. Light crisp and held together really well. Another table favorite was the grilled octopus. Perfect seasoning and an excellent char. Texture of the octopus came out exactly as I like. One of the better grilled octopus dishes that I recall having. For the main course, we shared the branzino. Grilled and filleted. Grill was done well. Most of the skin came out crispy. Branzino was tender and juicy. I liked the lemon based flavoring. They served the branzino with a side of lemon potatoes and crispy fried potatoes (circular French fries). I'm not usually a fan of lemon potatoes from Greek spots as they usually come at overdone, but the tenderness of these came out on point. Topped with some salt and black pepper. The crispy potatoes were solid too. The branzino was filleted perfectly. I didn't come across a single bone in the body of the fish. We skipped on dessert but the only option was a slice of vanilla custard cake. En route to the bathroom, I investigated the whiskey selection at the bar. A fun and random variety. Certainly had the feel of a home bar. The offering will probably vary from time to time but a few that stood out to me were the Woodford Double Oaked, a 9 year Lagavulin, some Oban, and a lineup from Glenfiddich. There was only one gender neutral restroom which always seemed to be occupied even though the restaurant was half full. Service was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The pacing of the food was pretty smooth.

I ordered takeout from Loukoumi and they exceeded my expectations! Everything was so delicious. I got the grilled haloumi eggplant layer (to die for!), fried calamari, tzatziki, chicken breast with fries. I loved everything and now want to come back for a sit down dinner at this place. The restaurant delivered food on time and the order was correct. I'm very happy, thank you!

I usually don't venture out to Astoria for food, but came here for a family dinner. I was really impressed by their service. Our waitress kindly sat me and my husband down right away even though our total party of 6 was coming in slowly. Throughout our meal she was very attentive and gave off a very positive energy. In terms of food, everything was absolutely delicious. Not to toot my own horn, but I ordered the chicken souvlaki and it was hands down the best thing in the table. Perfect char, super juicy chicken chunks. I'd make that trek to Astoria again just for their chicken souvlaki. We also got the Pikilia spread (spread sampler) to share - for $17 you get 4 small ramekins of spread, a bit overpriced for the amount you get. Will just order a single spread in the future.

I came to this Greek restaurant recently to take advantage of their lunch special. It was really lovely interior with a calm atmosphere. Upon being seated, I was served tasty warm pita bread, which was nice and soft. For my meal, I ordered the Salmon filet, which came with salad and lemon potato. The Salmon was absolutely delicious! It was more like Salmon steak, as it was quite thick. The Salmon was delightfully tender and flaky, juicy, well seasoned with pepper, along with tasty herbs. The edges were slightly crispy, which is how I prefer it. The lemon potato was cooked perfectly and wonderfully flavorful. The salad consisted of fresh cucumber, tomato, red onion and gave the dish an enjoyable crunchy element. For dessert, the waitress offered me complimentary Turkish delights, and called me sweet. This was a sticky, sugary, jelly like treat. Service was solid. The waitress was friendly and attentive. The lunch special at this restaurant is an excellent deal! I would possibly return for dinner to try the Mixed Grill entree (includes chicken, lamb chop, sausage, bifteki) with Greek Fries.
