“To give you a sense of the kind of service and care, the waitress informed us that she does not give a check until asked so that people can stay at the table as long as they like and not feel rushed. The owner is a wonderful character. He makes you feel like family and that is part of what makes the atmosphere so pleasant. Of course it's a restaurant. So it's the food that's most important. I had the grilled fish of the day .I can't recall having a better seasoned and cooked fish. Everything was wonderful. A little quirk is that they do not have hard liquor on the menu. It's available, but don't expect any exotic drinks. We will be returning.“

“The food is amazing, especially the chicken. To those of you complaining about prices, find a cheaper place with the same quality. You can’t bc it doesn’t exist in this area. If you’re complaining about a business raising prices and lowering portions in this economy, then go to the grocery store and cook your own food. You’re either woefully ignorant about running a business or the current price of food or you’re just a hater.

Owners are super nice. Food is great. Prices are fair.“

“LOVE IT. this is my 1st time visiting Nola & I’ve gone to many restaurants..
This is 100% the best food I’ve had since being here. Greek is my favorite food & I can be a bit picky, but this place knocked it out of the park. Friendly service, homemade/authentic food, & they got it out quick!
Very happy to have made this choice :)
They even gave us free baklava!
Please go here👍🏼“

“Food is fantastic and the prices are excellent, too. I always order the babaganough which is delicious and comes with lots of pitta bread, ( made in house. )
I often get the red lentil soup, which is plentiful and inexpensive. The combo plate is delicious, with hummus, a great salad and lots
of meat. I get 3 meals out of it easily. I usually finish my meal with a Turkish coffee and a triangle of baklava, a Phyllo dough and honey dessert.

Vegetarian options: Red lentil soup, babaganough is delicious, and comes with warm pitta bread. I love their salad. There are lots of vegetarian options, like kibble, falafel and many more.“
