Avlee Greek Kitchen

Been wanting to come here for the longest, particularly to see what all the fuss is about. Authentic Greek food at its finest. Chicken Souvlaki, freshly cut tomatoes and cucumbers and lettuce was fresh. Had side order of lemon potatoes which were just sensational and a side order of lamb gyro, also delicious. It’s a TEN all around with exception of one small infraction- the pita bread consists of dairy! No other Greek restaurant that I’ve been to serves pita w/ dairy in it. Wasn’t too fond of this but everything else was excellent as per the photos and I’ll def be returning. Lastly, customer service and attentiveness was above par!

Fresh food. Most was super tasty. We ordered a half chicken, a lamb shank, and grilled halloumi, which were all delicious. The romaine side salad was basic and good. However, the lemon potato’s and the lentil and artichoke side dishes were both pretty bland. The pita was also not great, but decent enough. Staff was friendly but obviously they needed one more server. We say outside in their backyard, simple and pleasant. I’d return for sure.

While on a walk, we went past Avlee Greek Kitchen and paused to read their menu. While standing there, a customer who had just eaten told us emphatically that it’s the best Greek food he ever had- that intrigued us so we de used to skip the leftovers at home and try Avlee! Best decision ever. This menu includes classic dishes like souvlaki, falafel, etc. but it also introduces more unique Greek offerings. The quality of the food, generous portions and sides, and fast service were all extremely appreciated. Their menu also indicates which items they get from the nearby Carroll St. Greenmarket. Can’t wait to go back, and if we see any deliberating people looking at the menu, we’ll let them know that this really is the best Greek food you can find in Brooklyn! Truly the best falafel I’ve had tender, flavorful, and served more as discs, and tzatziki was perfect. Thank you!

4.5/5. Everything was pretty good. The serving sizes were larger than expected! Beer options were questionable. No coors. Service was good, especially for being in the back yard.Recommended dishesFries, Gyro Grill

I’ve eaten all around Manhattan & BK and Avlee hands down has the BEST grilled whole Branzino. For $25 with their delicious side salad, it’s my husband and I’s favorite healthy weeknight and affordable dinner. Arrives scorching hot wrapped in the tin foil it was charred grilled in. Add their lemon potatoes & toasted pita bread while you’re at it. You won’t be disappointed.

I have mixed feeling about how restaurants responded to the pandemic. The focus on takeout and efficiency was probably necessary but changed the way restaurants operated and I’m not always a huge fan. But wow… Avlee seemingly found a way to switch to a mostly delivery-based model and the food is SO good, they deliver lightning fast, and their prices are pretty reasonable for the neighborhood. They have become my hands down favorite place to order delivery from in the area.

this place is so delicious! everything is fresh and absolutely scrumptious. attentive, kind staff. best tzatziki i’ve ever had. reasonable prices and lush portions. can’t wait to come back. Vegetarian options: so many amazing vegetarian side dishes and dips as well as excellent falafel main.

Nice little Greek eatery with mouth watering food. While I enjoyed having my lunch there, the layout of the restaurant and the service was a bit awkward. It's a small place with five tables in the front of the restaurant, we were being seated in the middle and I could hear every conversation from the left and right table. Given the size of room, the hard wall and glass window probably bounced the sound a bit too efficiently. The table by the windows was perhaps a bit too close and therefore the window amplified the customers' conversation and bounced it back to the middle table. That was a bit annoying. Another awkward moment was while we were waiting for our food, there's no complimentary pieces of pita bread or olives to pick on. Last, please fix the door. It's winter time and the wind is strong. It's weird and borderline rude to ask every single customer that enters to slam the door shut. The room gets really cold because of the draft. On the plus side, the food was prepared with care and the result was really high quality delicious food. The wait was a bit long but it's worth it. That brings it back to why it was awkward when there's no complimentary olives or bread on the table.

Delicious. We have been getting takeout for months here and loved it every time but for the first time we ate in the restaurant and we were so pleased! The chicken is amazing, juicy and full of flavor, the pork chop makes me hear angels sing, and the French fries will be deducted from your share in paradise. We are going to have to go in for just desert one time because we never have room. O and the Spanikopita is magic.

Friendly staff, and amazing food. Definitely have to try their Htapodi Salad and dressing!
