Customer Reviews
Visited for 1st time the other night & overall had a good experience. Service was very attentive and friendly. The decor of the restaurant is decent but the colors are somewhat distracting & having a giant TV playing music videos intermittently was a little awkward. As far as the food, everything was fresh, cooked well, came out in a timely manner & portions were a solid value. Our only slight hiccup was that both dishes could’ve been seasoned a little more aggressively which we felt would’ve taken them from good to great. This isn’t enough to stop us from returning though, so we’ll likely visit again sometime ✌🏻
So delicious! We went during Ramadan so obviously they were pretty swamped with catering and orders. Despite this, they were very generous and accommodating! Our server was amazing as well.
Absolutely delicious meal. The spanakopita was light, crispy and buttery, the vinaigrette on the salad was so good, the gyros were fantastic (with tzatziki that my daughter and I agreed was “fire”), the falafel was better than any I have ever tasted, and the baklava? This chef really knows how to work with phyllo dough. 🤯 The prices are reasonable and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. They could use a few plants and artwork on the walls, but the bar area is super cute and those orange walls are iconic. We will definitely be back.
I wanted to love this place so bad. It’s beautiful however, the food was just not Cutting it. Tzatziki sauce was too thick. Every dish was bitter with not much flavor otherwise. Rice was undercooked while the gyro meat and falafel were over cooked. They got my pickup order wrong and when I called to let them Know they insisted that everything was in the bag. But I took a photo. Either way, the process to receive a refund seemed too unsure or difficult for the staff member and I didn’t feel like going back to get it remade and was told picking it up another day may not be an option. Also, I was excited to try the drinks there and actually sit down and eat in but they had the bar closed all day because the bartender called out sick. I went on a Wednesday night around 6:40pm and it was de
Oh my! This is a must try! I went early in the day around 3:30 pm. There was no wait. The service was amazing! I am new to town and they welcomed me and gave me great ideas! The food was so delicious I got a gyro salad and the meat was so good. Dressing was spot on and very reminiscent of my stay in Greece. I also had the spinach dip as an appetizer and it was delectable! The building was also really cute and fun! Highly recommend!
