Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

The food is very flavorful and cooked well. We really enjoyed the beef shish-kabob and the chicken shish-kabob. The sides were also very tasty, including hummus and the white bean salad. The pita was fresh. And the baklava was delicious. Would definitely come back.

We were traveling and ordered take out for 7 people. Wraps, gyro platters, parmesan, Greek salad, and sides of dolmades and fries. Staff greeted us warmly and owner was very friendly. Which makes this review very hard to give. Compared to other Greek food experiences, this was more diner style/budget Greek. None of the food was particularly flavorful, and some was flavorless. The gyro meat and dolmades were decent - meat is pre-formed patty strips, and dolmades seemed tightly packed like they came from a jar. Wraps were also decently flavored. The salad dressing was overpowered by red wine vinegar and the oil/garlic/oregano/etc were lost completely. The fries were listed as "perfectly seasoned" on the menu, BUT had ZERO seasoning, no salt, no oregano, no garlic, nothing....just fried potato sticks (we mixed up our own Greek seasoning to be able to eat them). The pita was ok - it was unusually chewy, almost like a pizza dough. Kalamata olives were small and seemed almost dry compared to most. Cost was high for the basic quality, although portions were decent. $25 for the sampler was overpriced. Overall, if you need Greek and can't wait, this might do. If you can wait, then for the same price you will find better. If you value a warm local owner and friendly staff with an intimate eating space, as a priority over deeply authentic Greek cuisine, then this may be the place for you.

My first time coming here and it did not disappoint! The restaurant was clean, the employees were incredibly friendly, and the service was fantastic! The food was absolutely delicious and came out piping hot and fresh. I thought, for the quality of the food, the prices were great! I highly recommend the chicken kabobs! It comes with a generous helping of rice and vegetables with a tremendous flavor. Excellent people and service!
