Anything but Ho Hum. The menu is full of delicious dishes. It wa hard to choose. We had a sunny spot on the patio. Our server was the lovely Gladys! Our dishes were terrific- pastitsio fries - oh my yummy and so much to eat!!! we also ordered the lamb gyro with Greek salad. Absolutely delicious 😋
The food here is excellent! The Gyro fries (with the french fries supplied by Frites Street) were the highlight today! If you're lucky you'll get Josh as your server and the patio is great this time of year!
A true Greek restaurant!! Delicious totally authentic food and desserts and our favorite find since moving from the Chicago area. My one and only problem is that I don’t live closer but it’s always more than worth the hour drive. Also love the Sunday happy hour deals. Had the keftedes for the first time this visit and they were so incredible we got a second order. Took home 2 desserts (baklava and galaktoboureko) and we ate them as soon as we got home. Cannot recommend this absolute gem enough!!
My food -- octopus and lentils was very good, my wife's filo pastry parcels were good too, her lentil soup not so much. Despite the decent food we won't go back. The service at the start was surly and impatient. You won't see your bill -- well, I didn't, until you've paid and tipped. Mine was incorrect so I had to be given cash back for the overcharge. Not worth the bother, sad to say. The place could be knockout, but it wasn't today. I suspect they thought we were tourists. Problem with that assumption is we've lived in Scottsdale for 42 years.
Food is really good!! That was very good and authentic. I love their outdoor patio! Dog friendly! The only couple of things that were a problem. One, I got the chicken souvlaki which was really good except one of my pieces of chicken was a little bit raw so I couldn’t eat it. It definitely was probably a little bit bigger of a piece and didn’t cook thoroughly because the other pieces were with perfectly and juicy. Don’t go here if you’re in a rush. We went there when it wasn’t even busy and we were there for 2 1/2 hours….. Service is very very, very slow…..
