What customers say?

“ We went on a slow day but man the service was unreal. So awesome so friendly willing to help us and give us pointers was awesome experience. I went back and forth on several dishes and the server was more than happy to point us in the right direction. They even made modifications to one dish so that we could try all the different meats. I got what I affectionately called Greek poutine and it was incredible. I love this type of food and after one visit this is quickly becoming my favorite Greek restaurant. ”

“ Great experience over all. The atmosphere Is fresh, clean, and colors and decore sleek / very home feeling. The have options for more intimate seating like booths or if your one who roles in a crowd. There's large tables for you too. Very accommodating overall. We enjoyed several dishes def need to try the spanakopita (flaky buttery crispy goodness). We had the gyro platter (def could feed two) and a chicken pita (juciy delicious seasoned chicken). Now let's get to the sides; salad def fresh no wilting and tomatoes as red as your sunburn on a hot day. We both opted for grilled veggies and let me tell you devoured them all ( tasty with a side of more please). Lastly I was feeling like I needed a drink and it didn't disappoint great pour and garnish for the win. Totally a great experience thank you for the hospitality and definitely coming back for more. Did I mention you get warm bread and butter. But one thing I need to say is please I beg you leave room because we're full. They have drum roll please " baklava cheesecake". I will be back to try this I don't care if I explode. Also big props to the guy who wears all the hats from hostess to bartender to sever. You made our night ”

“ Love it. We had a ballet performance nearby and this is the best option. I was SO impressed by their saganaki, brought out flaming with brandy. Service was attentive and detail oriented and efficient. Superb gyros (we are very picky and have a lot of gyros options back home). I’m so glad we found this place! ”
