The best greek salad that I’ve had in North America! Reminded me of the Greek salads that I would get in Greece when I went 5 years ago. Also had the tzatziki with pita and was superb! Service was just as good as the food, the restaurant was very clean, and loved the Greek themed decor! Definitely recommend for anyone looking for really good authentic Greek food.

Hands down the best Greek food I've had in years! Family run business, friendly, and the food tastes like it just came from Greece herself. Also noticed that the kitchen was meticulously clean upon leaving which is a nice bonus.

My husband and I went today for an early dinner. We were so happy we tried this restaurant. We had a really nice meal. The owner was very friendly from we understand is the he is Greek, but grew up in Germany. The menu is Greek food with his own German flare. The Greek salad was outstanding we ordered a 3 Dip app that was very fresh. My husband ordered bifteki and it was outstanding. I ordered the schnitzel, I know what you are thinking Greek restaurant, but it was wundabar!! Do not judge a book by it cover, this place is worth a visit.

I just go in here for their Turkish coffee. I love their Turkish coffee. It's a pretty little place. Their water seems to be purified and taste good. It's always clean. Even the restrooms are super clean, even though I only come in here for Turkish coffee, the owner treats me very well.

Greek menu including wine and beer. No hard liquor. 5 people were very pleased with the meal of traditional Greek appetizers, entrees and deserts. Friendly, prompt service and they let us sit and talk even though they were ready to close for the evening. The facility was brightly decorated in the Greek style with background music. We'll definitely be going back.

Everything was delicious, I'm so happy we have an amazing Greek restaurant here! The tzatziki is legit, the gyro meat was perfect, and even the lemon soup was perfectly seasoned. If you're looking for Greek food in Sarasota you won't find anywhere better! Totally worth the price

We tried the restaurant and found some good points to this family owned business but also were not very impressed by others. The gyro was very good but the french fries were horrible, they were having an issue with their water dispenser so you had to purchase a bottled water or other beverage (not cool), a large group of teens were sat next to us when there were other spots they could have been seated, and the prices were not in line with the quality of the food. Overall, we won't be back

We had a lovely experience last night at this wonderful relatively new Greek restaurant on Fruitville Road in Sarasota. From the very beginning learning that the family owned restaurant prides itself in delivery of authentic Greek food, made by the parents of the peaked our interest.My friend and I had the a Greek wine which was semi sweet. A lovely balance of sweet wine with a nice refreshing taste, we agreed. It was delicious and we are bound to try to find it at our local wine store.The highlight of the day, however was actual the food. My husband had the moussaka, he’s a real moussaka fan, and said that it was the best he’d ever tasted. I had the lamb shank, which was delicious. There is an extensive menu with many Greek offerings far past the Gyro and other more typical Greek food.What made this place so fun was our waiter who is the son of the owners. Evidently this restaurant and the exact menu comes from a restaurant the family owned in Germany for 30 years. The entire family migrated to Sarasota, Florida, thankfully to share the exact menu with us here in the United States.Try this restaurant you won’t be disappointed
