Where to find really good Greek-style grilled octopus?

I prefer queens but all recs accepted.

    Avli in Bayside has a grilled octopus appetizer that's authentically prepared Greek-style and out of this world.

      I usually try and like octopus more than I actually enjoy octopus, but the stuff I had at Taverna Kyclades this last weekend was a little bit of revelation. It put what I had at Anthos some time ago to shame in size, texture, flavor, and price (which is not at all ex-zorba-nant). The six people at the table all agreed it was the best we've ever had.

        I particularly like it at Spartan Souvlaki in Brooklyn.
