Reviews

The service and food at this Greek restaurant were truly exceptional. The dishes were prepared fresh, which meant a slight waiting time, but it was well worth it. I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion sizes, especially considering the reasonable prices. While the decor was a bit on the darker side, they also offered outdoor seating which provided a lovely alternative.

Food: I dream about their Gyro Pita Sandwich ! The meat is so tender and flavorful, the tzatziki sauce is so creamy!! Not to mention the pita is perfection! The Baked Eggplant was like eating lasagna, meaty and seasoned well. The Greek Salad is refreshing and paired with a great dressing. Even their French fries are great. And lastly the Baklava had just the right amount of sweetness! Service: The gentleman is always friendly and funny, hardly ever standing still. It seems to only be him, so a little understanding when the place is full goes a long way. Atmosphere: I love the plants they have, gives it a cozy vibe. They had a full house last time and it wasn’t too loud. The music is on theme and nice. Price: The pricing is great, especially for the quality of food!

Excellent lunch today at Athens family restaurant. Our server was Cemil and he exceeded all expectations: friendly, charming, made great recommendations - perfect! And the food was excellent as well! We started with the housemade hummus platter with warm pita bread, a lamb gyro sandwich and a lamb skewer (Adana) served with a fresh well-seasoned salad and pita bread. Very ample portions: we both had leftovers! Thanks again Cemil! We will be back!

Relaxed, casual dining with booths inside & tables outside. Wonderful Greek food. My aunt enjoyed a seafood dish while I had lamb kebabs which were terrific. Not to mention that we both had multiple meals from our to-go bags. Best of all is their baklava. I love it & could eat it all the time but then I'd have to go to a gym.
