So glad to have this gem in our neighborhood! Love the feel of this cozy little place. The owner was so friendly and the food was authentic and flavorful. I felt like I was being cooked for by family.

This is hands down, my favorite Greek restaurant anywhere. I dream of the Greek salad, the gyros and the veggies. I moved away but make this a stop every time I come home. For the price too, is so reasonable for the generous portions.

Fries were stale and there was maybe 2 slices of onion and tomato on my sandwich. Fast and friendly service.

The chicken salad and chicken sandwich are delicious. I also loved the fetishes (yummy cheesy pastries).

Grilled chicken salad and half-chicken dinner is the best!

I really wanted to like this place, since they're a neighborhood spot that's been in business 44 years. Service was quick, but the food was pretty average at best. Not completely bland, but definitely lacking flavor. The gyros and the rice were dry, and while the chicken was tender and well cooked, it wasn't seasoned. The only thing that had a lot of flavor was the salad dressing, which was intensely vinegar-heavy, to the point of being sour. The ambience is sad. I don't think they have changed anything since the 80s, which could be charming in some contexts, but in this one just seemed depressing. It seems like they're just phoning it in now, instead of maintaining quality I imagine they had at some point if they've lasted in the restaurant business for this long.

I’m obsessed with this place. It’s family owned and they’ve been around for a while. I’ve been coming here since before the pandemic. The food is top notch and they give great portions. I typically get the gyro plate & hummus. The man who takes the orders is always so friendly and sweet. It’s an all around great establishment!
