Bahari

Formerly Stamatis Broadway Restaurant

Family-run Astoria restaurant Bahari specializes in a simple, traditional Greek fare like charcoal-grilled fish, meat-and-potato platters and casseroles. You'll find a menu and atmosphere that warrants a bigger entourage to share apps and entrees. Start with hard-to-find Athenian classics like Lukaniko (grilled Greek dry sausage) or Galeos Saganaki (sautéed baby shark, feta cheese and jalapeno peppers) before moving on to heartier fare like steak or red snapper. The local favorite prides itself on using only homemade recipes and Greek olive oil.
