Happy Friday Astoria! In this week’s Finally Fridays, we’d like to spread the word about something really indulgent – fried food! Who doesn’t love it? Even though it’s not the healthiest option, it’s fun to splurge, especially on the weekend. Feast your eyes on these fried goodies, from fried pickles to amazing fried seafood.
Sweet Afton - Fried pickles with super light batter that’s not unlike a zeppole. They come with a side of spicy mayo that really makes the these flavors sing. 30-09 34th Street, Astoria. 718.777.2570
Akti - These amazing kolokithokeftedes or easier said, zucchini croquettes are packed with punch. The seasoning is key, flavored with oregano and parsley. If you want a cooler bite, dip them into the side of fresh tzatziki, which brings the taste up a notch. 34-19 30th Avenue, Astoria. 718.721.3530

Christos Steakhouse – If you want fried food in a slightly classier setting, try Christos Steakhose and definitely order the fried calamari. They’re simple, classic, crispy and always fresh. You can’t go wrong. 41-08 23rd Avenue, Astoria. 718.777.8400
Balkh Shish Kabab House – Although this is a non-traditional fried food, you won’t be sorry you tried it. I guarantee your tastebuds will love you when you bite into this crispy, buttery fried dough stuffed with small bits of sweet pumpkin. A side of mint yogurt sauce sends the tastebuds on a joy ride. 23-10 31st Street, Astoria. 718.721.5020
