We had the half Greek Chicken, Pork Skewers and Calamari. All of the food was cooked perfectly, tasted incredible and had us craving more! From the moment I stepped into the establishment I knew I was in a special place. The design is modern and cozy. Not very loud, everyone seemed to be having a good time too. Our waiter was kind and charasmatic, he really helped elevate our experience overall. I believe his name was George? Great guy, we hope to catch him again. The dinner itself was wonderful. Presentation great, but most importantly taste!! Overall a really classy Greek restaurant that sets itself apart from the rest. The cherry on top that's offered here is the home made olive oil thats available at every table too. I wish I had found this place sooner.

We had a fantastic Christmas dinner here with the whole family. The atmosphere was perfect for the holiday, but the food and service truly stole the show. The Saganaki was a highlight—perfectly prepared and flavorful. For the main course, the chicken kabobs were tender, well-seasoned, and exceeded our expectations. Rafael was a great waiter, It’s rare to find such attentive, 'above par' service on a busy holiday, but the staff handled everything seamlessly. Highly recommend for any special family gathering!

The service was excellent and the whole wait staff was very friendly and did a great job. A lot of Greek places have been missing the mark, but this was really great. The food was delicious and very fresh, will definitely come back!

This place is very nice! The food is delicious and the service is great. The spinach pies were a favorite of mine, but everything I tried tasted great. I highly recommend coming here if you like Greek food.

Great authentic Greek restaurant with fantastic food and service. Our table ordered hummus, spinach pie, Greek salad, chicken kebabs, whole fish, roasted potatoes, lamp chops, and a dessert. Everything was delicious! Our waiter also gave us great recommendations for wine. We plan to go back again.

I've already said how wonderful this place is, and I want to say it again and again. This time we invited our friends, and they also rated it 10/10. Special thanks to the waiter Spiros, who served us with jokes (bro, it was really pleasant and cool). The owners have truly put their heart and soul into this restaurant. Thank you and see you soon!

This place is nothing short of phenomenal. The food is in abundance and so flavorful. The service is very attentive and had great recommendations for appetizers and main dishes. Music is great, not too loud and not too quiet. Enough to get a really good ambiance.

I only had time for a quick food pick up of soup, and their Avgolemono was absolute PERFECTION! I can't wait to try the rest of their food! Don't let the location fool you, the inside is beautiful and clean with chandeliers and a lovely ambiance. Definitely a gem in the suburbs!

An absolutely phenomenal dining experience from start to finish. We ordered the Lamb Kapama and Lamb Chops, and both were exceptional. The lamb was incredibly tender, rich, and deeply flavorful — cooked perfectly and seasoned so well that every bite melted in your mouth. The Cheese Pies were crisp, comforting, and full of authentic flavor.
The Greek Honey Bee vodka cocktail was outstanding — smooth, perfectly balanced, and incredibly refreshing. It paired beautifully with the meal and was crafted with real care. Even the sides were fresh and thoughtfully prepared.
On top of the amazing food and drinks, our server George was fantastic — attentive, friendly, and professional, making the entire experience feel effortless and special. The atmosphere, presentation, and quality were all flawless. This place truly deserves its 5-star reputation. We can’t wait to come back.

My mom, sister in law, and I, went to lunch here today and had a wonderful experience!
Food was excellent, service was impeccable, and atmosphere/overall decor in the restaurant felt modern and tasteful! It was clean and bright, appetizers, main courses and desserts were delicious, and our server, Pano, (hope my spelling is right), was very welcoming and friendly! :)
I would highly recommend this restaurant for anything from a lunch out with friends, to a nice date night.
