I know, I know, there’s already another taverna on this list, but come on – this is Astoria we’re talking about. There’s no better way to express your neighborhood pride than to take your sweetheart on a Valentine’s date to one of the neighborhood’s most beloved Greek restaurants. Just be sure to show up early, because Taverna Kyclades is always popping.

Everybody loves diner food, and Neptune Diner only solidifies that love. With a menu thick enough to be a novel, this beloved spot is the perfect opportunity to give up on being fancy for Valentine’s Day and have your favorite greasy foods delivered. Order soon, because Neptune Diner won’t be around forever; the owners plan to close the spot once development of a new residential building begins nearby.

This family-owned gem is the location of some of the best Thai food in Astoria, and it should be on the shortlist for any couples who enjoy Southeast Asian cuisine. Pochana’s menu is chock-full of scrumptious finger foods that would be perfect for popping into the mouth of your besotted lover: try the Satay, the Curry Puffs or the vegetarian-friendly Jade Dumplings!

If you and your significant other need some spice in your life, consider ordering your Valentine’s Day meal from Seva Indian Cuisine. Everything on Seva’s menu is top notch, but value hunters know to order from the $20, three-course prix fixe menu. The prix fixe isn’t available on Seamless, so make sure you call in for this one!
