This place is a hidden gem! Best Greek food I have had outside of Greece and I have not been to Greece since 2011. The lamb shank is to die for. Melt in your mouth. The mixed grill is super delish. I had the short ribs last night and they fell off the bone. No knife needed. The lemon potatoes are a must. Basically, you cannot go wrong with any item on the menu.

Great hole in the wall. The food is phenomenal. My wife and I had grape leaves as an appetizer, the lamp shank over lemon roasted potatoes that came with the most delicious fresh tasting Greek salad. We will definitely be back

I don't give out 5 stars, or even 4 stars easily. these should be reserved for above average spaces, and I want my reviews to be useful to those reading them. I have this at 3 stars = average for the genre. Ambience: Was noisey, can use some acoustic treatment as it was busy and hard to have conversation. Otherwise, music and space was bright and pleasant. Food. SPINACH PIE was best I ever had. it's a must try. this deserves the 5 stars. My LAMB over orzo and vegetables and sauce was very good. Meat cooked perfect, falling off the bone and retained some moisture. My father ordered the COMBO PLATE to sample what is essentially street food. disappointing. The Greek meatball was near raw inside. Ground beef should be cooked through. he asked for a replacement cooked more thoroughly... they seemed a little irritated, but quickly accommodated and came back with a much better cooked meatball. Lamb Kabob was good. chicken meatball was quite dry - he did not finish. My wife had the SALMON cooked quite well. DESSERT We split a nut and fruit cake dessert. was quite heavy, but I really enjoyed it. It is served on a hearty bed of cinnamon. Being a lover of cinnamon, I was quite pleased. Too heavy for one person though. Over all, for a full house, they seemed understaffed and as the space filled (father's day weekend) our service attentiveness became more sparce. This is the plight of so many restaurants post pandemic. Kudos to our server for maintaining so many people. So over all a mixed review. Average for the genre. Potential for growth and with a few improvements would easily get 4 stars from me.
