Good atmosphere, authentic Greek Recipes and pleasant staff! Thanks for taking such good care of us.

We arrived 10 minutes early for our reservation and there were at least 5 empty tables. Of course the hostess/ waitress(h/w) showed us to the least desirable table at the front door. I said that the table was unacceptable and asked about one of the other four tables. She snapped back that all those tables were reserved for other patrons. Because of her attitude, my instincts told me to leave then, but we both had not eaten all day so we sat at the front door table. At sometime during our 45 minute wait for our appetizer, a couple came in without reservations( I could overhear the conversation since we were sitting at the front door) and were immediately seated at one of the tables of which I had previously inquired. When I asked the h/w why the table was now available , she snapped that there was a cancellation. Of course , she never came to our table to tell us about this availability. We had not begun our meal because of the long wait. In any event, as it turns out, the food was now worth the wait. My fiancee ordered the sea bass special which wasn't . It was hardly fresh and was barely edible. I ordered the lamb shank which was passable. I ordinarily would have mentioned the poor food quality to the personnel but I had it with the snippy attitude. So if you like interminably long service, poorly prepared food and snippy service, this is the place for you.

We stopped here for lunch going to Tucson and we were very happy we did. Very good food, nice atmosphere. Wish we were closer so we could visit more often.

I like the food. Highly recommended. Gyro's are good. Nice atmosphere. Lamb and beef taste good.

Love this place. I particularly love any of the fish entrees but also love the chicken souvlaki and gyros. But don't forget the awesome lentil or chicken soups either. Or my current favorite for an even healthier meal are the falafels. Staff is friendly and prices are reasonable.

While I really wanted to try this place. I was informed that even at opening its doors at 4:30 reservations were required. Their website said reservations strongly recommended. But then how many places have we been to with the same caveat that never was a problem. So they have now lost a potential good customer.

The food is exceptional! We ordered three different dishes and all were superb. The most amazing aspect was the one woman serving all the restaurant because they were short-staffed. Many thanks to her and kudos to the chef. We will definitely return!

We placed a to go order and the person in the kitchen was talking about us so loud we could hear it all as he went on and on about us. We cancelled the order and left. I would not recommend this place to anyone. We simply asked how long and had said we tried to call but no answer. If you read his response it will give you a clue about who he is. Read the reviews on trip advisor, this is how he treats customers.

We traveled to Tucson two years ago and because of Covid, we only odered for take out. We found the dinner meals outstanding. We traveled again to Tucson in Febrary 2024. We had dinner at the restaurant the first week and enjoyed lunch at the restaurant the second week; and various appetizers and four different entries were all outstanding. This small family business is a gem. The husband David is the chef and wife Caitlyn manages the dining room. We rate this Greek Restaurant a full clear 10, and highly recommend this reasonably priced excellent quality cuisine.
What a great find! Excellent food at a family owned restaurant. Very reasonably priced! Generous portions of authentic Greek food. The desserts were fabulous. Gluten free chocolate cake, honey cake, and baklava that were out of this world. It's such a pleasure to find a hidden original gem.

Absolutely a poor business practice of taking reservations. Won't answer a phone, won't instantly reply to reservations, won't contact you in a timely matter for reservations. Were rude at the door when we showed up thinking we had reservations. Came with out of town company and planned it all afternoon only to arrive to an attitude of not caring, no smiles, no apologies about telling us they couldn't serve us. Will never go back.

Absolutely amazing. Nice family owned restaurant... Owners so friendly and clearly working their butts off. Relaxed vibe. The food was incredible. My vegetarian moussaka was full of flavor as were the sautéed vegetables. My husband loved his grilled octopus. The presentation of the dishes was thoughtful and elegant. We shared a rice pudding for dessert - sweet, rich, and just perfect. Most of all the service was friendly. We got a few glimpses of her little daughter peeking around. Bless this sweet family who owns this place and their hard work to create an amazing experience for their customers. PLUS we paid less here than we did when we went to Olive Garden and Chili's earlier in the month. Support local!!!

I really don't write too many reviews, and truthfully I'd like to keep this place to myself, but to be fair, this family owned restaurant is the best little hidden secret in Catalina Az, I hate to say to much more, but the ambience, the service and yes the food is beyond amazing. Okay I've said enough and yes the quality and price is pretty incredible, I'll say no more. It's the next best thing to being a very authentic It's Greek to me.
