Anemi Modern Greek restaurant, located at 30-17 31st St., offers a blend of traditional and modern Greek flavors.
The restaurant, situated on a busy street in Astoria, provides a cozy and inviting atmosphere, perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle. Anemi, meaning "breeze" in Greek, aims to bring a sense of calm to its guests.
"We came up with Anemi, which means 'breeze,'" said George Kalosis, the restaurant's owner. "A breeze moves you away; when it's a hot day in the summer, and you feel a breeze, you think, 'oh, that's so nice, I was ready for that breeze,' and we thought it worked really well here."
Located inside the Voco Hotel, which opened in August, Anemi made its debut just a month later, offering dishes such as lobster pasta and grilled branzino.
