Egyptian Restaurants In Queens - Al Omda

Astoria Restaurants - Astoria Queens

Astoria Neighborhood / Astoria Restaurants / Queens Restaurants / Queens Buzz. Al Omda, loosely translated, means 'mayor of the city' in the Egyptian language. And the feast we had on Friday night was certainly worthy of such a high-ranking government official. But tonite there weren't any officials, just three men with hearty appetites looking for a great meal in the heart of Astoria.

This is a review of the Al Omda Egyptian restaurant in the Astoria neighborhood of Queens NY. This restaurant is known for its authentic Egyptian cuisine which arrived here with the owner who is originally from Alexandria, Egypt.

Valentine's Day Restaurants & Dinners In Queens

Queens Restaurants / February 2017. Valentine's Day is less than a week away.  It's a time when lovers far and wide enjoin in the great romantic dinner at a nice romantic Queens restaurant, for a night out on the town. If the night is done amorously, it comes with a thoughtful card, a small box of candies and /or her favorite flowers; followed by a nice romantic dinner in Astoria, LIC, Jackson Heights, Sunnyside, Woodside, Flushing or Jamaica.

The origins of Valentine's Day are not well documented. It's believed to have been named after Saint Valentine who was apparently a Catholic martyr who died over 1500 years ago. Today the holiday is not associated with religion so much as flowers, candies, cards and dinners. And the holiday spokesperson is now Cupid, a Roman god of desire, and from what we hear, quite a mischief maker.

Click this link to go to a brief guide of Queens restaurants for Valentine's Day where you will find links to fun or romantic Queens restaurants we've reviewed. It's worth noting that most of these reviews are positive because we've selected some of the best restaurants in their categories in Queens. It's also worth noting that most of these restaurants do not currently advertise on this site, so there wasn't any quid pro quo. Perhaps one day we will begin selling them onto the site, because we have a large discerning dining audience like you. Enjoy.

Greek Restaurants In Astoria

Aegean Cove - A Tasteful Blend Of Old & New

Astoria Neighborhood / Astoria Restaurants / Queens Restaurants / Queens Buzz.  This restaurant has CLOSED.

I visited the Aegean Cove at the north end of Steinway Street in Astoria one Friday evening, to sample their Greek cuisine.

Chef Christos Christou, who grew up on Cyprus, manages the restaurant's cuisine with a staff that has been with him for about a decade. Christos technique is to begin with traditional dishes and old world flavors, and then build upon them by drawing out a particular flavor or by adding something new. Thus the Aegean Cove serves Greek dishes created to delight both those who long for tradition, as well as those who long for something new.
