Astoria Shish Kebob House - Danforth

Pork Souvlaki Platter

Charcoal-grilled pork skewers served over rice with warm pita, tzatziki, and a tomato salad — the definitive version of what this restaurant does best

Shish Kebab Platter

Seasoned ground meat kebabs grilled over charcoal, juicy and slightly charred at the edges, the dish the restaurant is named for

Chicken Souvlaki

Marinated chicken breast on skewers, reliably moist from the marinade, a crowd-pleasing alternative to pork for the table

Spanakopita

Spinach and feta in phyllo pastry that genuinely flakes — a better version than most Danforth competitors serve as an afterthought

Tzatziki

Thick, garlicky yogurt dip made in-house, the right opening move for the table before skewers arrive

Greek Salad

Chunky tomatoes, cucumbers, kalamata olives, and a proper slab of feta in olive oil — not overthought, which is why it works

Calamari

Lightly battered fried squid rings, a reliable starter that can be uneven depending on oil freshness — order the spanakopita if it's busy

Lamb Chops

Bone-in chops with char marks from the grill, unevenly executed — worth ordering when the kitchen isn't slammed, best skipped on a packed Friday night
