Avli in Bayside is a remarkable gem in the realm of Greek cuisine. Their chicken souvlaki, paired with homemade crispy fries and delightful tzatziki, is truly outstanding. The real highlight of this place, however, is the warm hospitality from the owner, Foti. He is not only a wonderful person but also goes above and beyond to make sure your dining experience is both memorable and enjoyable. It's rare to encounter an owner who is so engaged and welcoming. This restaurant is a must-visit for anyone who loves Greek food! Whether you’re a local resident or just passing through, Avli is a culinary treasure that's definitely worth checking out.
Four of us shared a large Gerk salad and a plate of hummus served with freshly cut Greek-style pita bread. The pita was warm and chewy, making it the perfect complement to the hummus. We then ordered three different types of pita wraps: two with gyro, one with chicken, and one with Greek sausage. Each wrap was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. It had been a while since I last dined here, and I noticed that the interior has been renovated and updated. It feels much cozier and more modern than before. All the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming.
Out of the few Greek places I've tried, Avli is the place I prefer to come back to because I'm always satisfied afterwards. We ordered a pork souvlaki platter and the gyro platter at Avli. The platters come with a choice of soup or salad; fries, lemon potatoes, or rice; tzatziki sauce; and a pita bread. The pork is meaty and has a nice char, but gyro is the way to go. I love the lemon potatoes, while the fries were a little salty. Portion sizes are good. Overall, a solid meal. Would recommend coming here.

The service was somewhat lacking, and unfortunately, the food did not meet expectations. The pork was quite tough, and the beer was flat. The rice tasted like instant rice. Despite the restaurant not being full, we were seated in front of a basement stairwell, right next to the staff's setup area, which seemed quite confusing. I cannot recommend dining here. However, I hope the restaurant can make improvements, especially since it's located in a great area.
The restaurant is outstanding! However, when I tried to place an order online through Grubhub, I encountered an issue. It wouldn’t allow me to enter my credit card's zip code, which prevented me from adding more food than what my gift card balance covered.
Off the hook delicious gyros. Not overloaded with onions, nice garlicky white sauce. Excellent french fries, hot and crispy. Haven't been to the Blvd in a while, great to walk around and even better having stumbled into a great spot for gyros.
Outside of the grilled veggies, the food wasn't up to par for a top-rated Bell Blvd restaurant. Bland food, small portions, and semi-stale dry bread graced our table. In addition, they left an important portion of our meal at the restaurant.
