   Delicious food! The appetizer pita/ feta and pepper spread is outstanding! Greek salad is enough for two, and all the shrimp dishes are very tasty. Grilled Salmon and chicken kebabs are also delicious choices!

   My husband and I went to Philia restaurant for the first time to celebrate our wedding anniversary, we ordered the octopus and spinach pie for our appetizers and I must say it was delicious. For our main course we both ordered the Bronzino, it came with a side of lemon potatoes, it was absolutely cooked to perfection. We met the owner Diego who was very nice and kind. We will definitely be going back to Philia soon for another amazing dinner.

   Hidden gem, Food was amazing everything from my grilled octopus was like butter to the bake clams to my dinner special dish on the menu, the lobster seafood with black squid pasta , my boyfriend had the branzino. I can’t tell you how everything was out of this world. Can’t wait to come back. The service was amazing , the owners are so welcoming and makes you feel so special.

   Food was excellent, service was a little slow, perhaps they were short staffed. In spite of this, the staff was attentive and professional. I will go back here again

   I've been here 5 or 6 times and the food is always spot on. Most of the time I've gone on off nights and there was never an issue. Last night was the first time I've gone on prime time, Friday night. Luckily I made a reservation because the place was packed all night. One table would leave and someone came in to take it. Make a reservation if your going at a popular night. Food was once again spot on. The owners/brothers and their one employee were hustling all night long. Highly recommend this restaurant

   From start to finish, our experience at Philia Restaurant in East Meadow was absolutely unforgettable! My friends and I (two couples) decided to celebrate Valentine’s Day here, and we were blown away by the incredible food, atmosphere, and top-notch service. The owners, Luis & Diego, went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and taken care of. Their attention to detail and warm hospitality truly made the evening special. We kicked off our meal by sharing an incredible variety of appetizers: Calamari, Grilled Octopus, Salad, Oysters, and Huge Shrimp Cocktails. Each dish was better than the last—everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. For dinner, we shared the Lamb Chops, Steak, Sole, and Seafood Pasta, and it was all absolutely delicious. The Lamb Chops were perfectly cooked and tender, and the Seafood Pasta had a rich, flavorful sauce that was to die for. To finish the night off, we had the Cheesecake, and it was the perfect ending to an already amazing meal—smooth, creamy, and a perfect balance of sweetness. I can’t recommend Philia Restaurant enough! The food is outstanding, the service is exceptional, and the ambiance is warm and inviting. We will definitely be back for another amazing dining experience. Luis & Diego truly make this place shine!
