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."
Anemi is located inside the Voco Hotel, which opened in August, and the restaurant made its debut just a month later. Some of the dishes offered include lobster pasta and grilled branzino.
