I came to San Diego for my birthday and wanted to eat at a Greek restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing. It tasted like my home cooked meals growing up.
The waitress was so kind.
Thank you for the delicious food and service!!

This such a gem in downtown San Diego. We have a ten month old baby and the owner & waiters were so generous, kind, and funny to him! We were treated like family and felt so welcomed. The food is also delicious. We had the vegan gyros & lentil soup. If I lived in San Diego I’d be back there in a heartbeat!

What a wonderful trip back in time to my family’s trip to Greece. Everything was so delicious and authentic, but the hospitality far exceeded my expectations. Mary is the best!

Recommended by a coworker and WOW were they right. Quiet (probably because I was there on a Monday) family run restaurant with really friendly service and probably the best Greek food I’ve ever had. My server recommended the sample platter and it was a perfect way to try their best dishes. I came on a solo work trip to SD but I’ll be bringing my family back with me next month, I’ll insist we eat here!

The staff has been there forever, they are so welcoming and the food is delicious. Highly recommend the traditional appetizers like tiropita, spanakopita, horiatiki and lentil soup.

We had a great dinner experience on our last night in San Diego. We found this amazing restaurant online and booked a table for two. We ordered the baby octopus and 3 dips with pita bread for starters. The pita bread was so delicious. It was warm and pillowy in texture and the dips were amazing especially the eggplant. We had lamb chops and beef skewers for the mains. They were cooked to our liking and the meat was so tender. The rub on that lamb chop was so delicious. Our server was also very nice and accommodating. The guests also seem to know each other and you could tell they were regulars. This restaurant is a hidden gem. ❤️

I came to San Diego for a birthday celebration and wanted to try all the best Greek restaurants in San Diego. This one is the best I've tried out of five. Came on a Friday evening before Labor Day. Was a little dead but still some people in the restaurant. Baby octopus appetizer was excellent. Stifado and chicken souvlaki were both spiced very well.

We were stopping by to get a drink after a fire emergency at another restaurant where we went that day and and the lady at the door was extremely rude and judgy of how confused we were feeling. Being a San Diego resident I will never recommend this place to anyone.
