Everything is very fresh! Best I've had. I recommend the steak kabob. Served over perfectly cooked orzo. Great dinner! Sorry for the messy kabob. There was much more meat. I lost my head! Lol!

It was amazing! This was the first time I've been here and it didn't disappoint. My fiance got gyros which were sooo delicious with the sauce. yum! I got the Greek entree. It was a Greek salad with pita (you get 4 slices of pita), pastitsio and spanakopita. All of it was very good. The salad was well dressed, the pastitsio creamy, and spanakopita fresh. My mom got the baklava cheesecake and she said it was the best cheesecake she's had. Our friend got the soup and domales another for a gyro with fries. The sitting was great they had room for all 6 of us plus my infant. It wasn't that busy either.

We order on DoorDash a lot and ask for extra pita. Last time we didn’t receive it so this time we put a comment to please remember the pita. We got this entire bag FULL of pita. It was a great laugh & so appreciated!!! 🤣😂🤣😂

A real hole in a wall you should hit at least once! The staff is very kind and they do the best with what they got. I ordered a spanakopita ( spinach pie ) with pita bread and chicken pepper soup which it turned out great! Defintely give it a shot!

A lovely little spot for lunch. The inside is a little dated, but the food and service will make you forget all about it. My server was incredibly kind and helped me decide between a myriad of items. I started with the vegetarian sampler with pita bread. The pita was hot and crisp, and paired perfectly with each dip. Their hummus and tzatziki were my favorites of the trio. I loved the addition of cucumbers and tomatoes with the fresh feta. The stuffed grape leaves were delicious as well. For my entree, I decided on the falafel wrap. It was piping hot and extremely fresh, with a lovely crisp exterior. I had the tzatziki on the side, and also added feta from the sampler. It was fantastic, and I would absolutely go again for that alone. Finishing off with the baklava cheesecake - this was
