The only thing good I can say about the food was the lemon chicken soup was very good. I had the gyro platter and the meat was so overcooked and dry anytime you tried to put a fork in it it would break in half, and the rice tasted like it came out of a box. The lady that went with me was that interested in eating Greek food so she had the fish and chips. It came with three pieces of fish she only ate half of one piece. I had Gordon's frozen fish from a grocery store that tasted better than that. We both left very disappointed neither one of us finished our food. And will never go back. The waitress was very pleasant and on

Homemade taziki sauce and Hummus is fabulous. The meats are great. All the food is very light.

We tried the sampler plate and everything was very tasty. The waiter said that this plate feeds a family of four, but if you are hungry you can finish it with just two people.
Our first visit there we found the staff very friendly and the food was wonderful!

We had a great meal. The gyros were huge and French fries has a great seasoning on them. The best is the lemon chicken soup. Delicious! Sorry I didn’t take any photos.

I was looking for a Greek Restaurant in the area and found this gem! Has the lamb kabobs and a Greek salad. Salad dressing was a perfect layer on top of the deliciously crisp lettuce, feta, olives and cucumbers. The plate of lamb came with a side of rice as well as the most amazing garlicky green beans I have ever had! I’m a light eater so I was able to take home the rest to go and enjoy for two full meals.

Don’t waste your time with this place. Everything seemed straight from a can, including the chicken and rice. The rice tasted exactly like the yellow Instant Minute Rice I just made my daughter for lunch. Such a disappointment. We were all craving Greek food and this did not hit the spot, it hit the garbage. YUCK!!!
Update: In response to Olympia’s reply. We did order Greek salads and chicken/rice. Same order we get at any other Greek restaurant. It’s more about the quality of food which got the bad review, not authenticity. You are right, it’s a tight economy, so when you take your family out to eat, you want to get quality. This missed the mark. The chicken was slimy and seemed prefabricated and the rice was equally bad. Reviews are important in helping others make an informed decision.

After reading a review of how authentic this place and the food was, I figured I would try it. What a terrible mistake and waste of money. This is the most unauthentic Greek food I’ve ever had. Don’t waste your money or your time.

We used to like the food but I don't know if its under new management because it definitely is NOT as good. I love moussaka but they took it off the menu. The grape leaves were dry and the excellent lemon sauce they used to have is gone. The sauce that we had was watery, not lemony or thick and tasteless. My Greek salad was good but had too much oil. Whatever happened here its not good for the food. We used to get food here often but won't be back. The service was very good. Our waitress was friendly and did a good job. We don't go for the atmosphere but the food. Sadly it's not the same at all. Even the soup was not as flavorful. Im sorry to post such a negative note about the food but its got to be said.

Terrible, terrible quality of food. My wife and Me were in that restaurant today July 10 2025 around 3pm. Chickens kebab was dry as a charcoal, salad over salted, I tested dolma at home ( put it in doggy box). All four peaces of dolma were inedible. Looks like they were prepared a long ago and kept them in freezer. Dolma stuffing (ground beef) was dry and tough like dry soil. Trashed all meal came with terrible dolma. If I tested that food in restaurant, I would never pay them.
