★★★★★ 5.0 Taste Bud · Nov 2025

Really liked this place. Small restaurant with friendly service, great food and a great atmosphere. The chicken gyro is made the way they make it in Greece, with french fries inside the sandwich, I loved it. The lentil soup was delicious, I highly recommend. We also ordered the baklava, orange cake and kataifi, they were all world class. Big thumbs up for this place 👍

Came in for dinner last night. Super warm, inviting location and staff. Everyone was so wonderful! And the food is incredible too! I ordered the tzatzikitini (fabulous) and I cannot remember the main dish I ordered (with the 2 patties) but it was so delicious! It made me sad I am in a hotel and couldn't take the leftovers with me!

★★★★★ 5.0 Freda Lee · Feb 2026

Warm, welcoming Greek spot with great service. We loved the gyros pita and the short ribs moussaka, but the standout was the light and delicious Turkish dessert, Ekmek Kadayıfı. We even left with a complimentary cookie to bring home to Minnesota—a perfect finishing touch to a memorable meal.
