Tony Law
Great experience, food was awesome, staff was responsive, prices were reasonable. Couldn’t give it the full 5 stars because it did get a bit loud in there which I wasn’t expecting. Fun atmosphere but not the best for a quiet night out. Ideal for friends and family. Date night-maybe. Fun, not romantic. The dip spreads were fantastic as were the lemon potatoes.

We dined at Maria’s Mediterranean for an early Mother’s Day dinner and my family absolutely loved all of the food. I decided to treat my mom to dinner here as I fell in love with their food after sampling it at my job.

It’s a cozy, casual atmosphere with stellar food. The staff is very sweet and has great recommendations and helps you make solid selections (btw you can get falafel it’s on the secret menu .) The amazing old family photos on the wall add to the authenticity of the location. Really had a lovely time and will be back soon ❤️ recommended to all my friends.

Had heard of Maria’s, and for my bday was hopeful for a great night with my wonderful lady. Did not disappoint. 5 star food and service, as advertised. Lovely atmosphere as well. David, our waiter made some great suggestions. We had a pita sampler plate and stuffed mushrooms to start. And our entrees were the stuffed flounder and the Lamb stew. It was a romantic evening, thanks to the delicious dinner and wonderful ambiance!!

Good food and good service. Ordered the octopus and saganaki as appetizers. Ordered the scallop entree and the lemon of sole entree. All were amazing tasty dishes and food portions. For dessert we ordered the blueberry baclava with coffee. Definitely nothing I ever tasted before different but good. All were delicious and we enjoyed a nice dinner outdoors in the enclosed heated space. Thanks

I’ve been here a few times & have always had delicious, fresh, food. The staff is wonderful and attentive, and the portion sizes are large. I’ve dined with friends and by myself, and have always had wonderful service & food. I’d definitely recommend a visit to Maria’s!

Feta cheese on fries is the combo I never knew I needed. I also appreciate that the fries are proper potatoes and not the greasy coated stuff everywhere else is serving on Bell for some reason.

Found this Greek restaurant around Bayside Area. The ambiance is quiet nice. They are still maintaining a shield for separating tables because of the pandemic. Also there’s option for outdoor dining but that is not recommended during lunch time if the weather is hot.

There are places that just out amongst the rest, this isnone of them. Delicious fresh food made with quality ingredients. Loved the spinach roce and stuffed chicken. The service is excellent as well The restaurant does get tight when it is crowded but it is not too bad.
