“My first time there but food was delicious“

“Unique menu and best service .“

“Love the decor, music and the atmosphere was very nice. The good was delicious we had chicken chops & lamb chops, quinoa instead of rice & side salad. All very good. The service was a little slow, there was an celebratory event toward the back of the restaurant with a very large number of people ? so unfortunately that had an impact to the timing of the service. I would definitely return again.“

“Everyone at Xenia was friendly and helpful. The Falafel Sliders and Greek Salad were delicious!!“

“Met friends here for a holiday party. We were a group of 25 and got (surprisingly) good service! My clam & scallop chowder tasted great but the broth was a little 'thin'. The grilled chicken cobb salad was very good and very filling. My only 'complaint' is about my dessert. I ordered the apple bread pudding with vanilla gelato TO GO. Our server assured me that the gelato would come in a separate container. Well...when it arrived, I (luckily) opened the TO GO container to find the gelato had been placed on top of warm bread pudding creating a runny mess! The issue was rectified and I was brought an appropriate to go order with gelato in a separate container. I enjoyed this place and I'll come back!“

“bad service and over charched.“

“Went there with my wife and Father for the first time today on a spur of a moment and it blew us away how incredible this place was! The stuffed burger just might be the greatest burger I've ever had! We will DEFINITELY BE BACK‼️“

“Excellent food. Loved the options that were given and many choices to pick from. 10/10“

“I was in Maryland for a Convention when we stumbled upon here with my wife my son (7yo) and some friends. My wife was trying to please me in searching for Mediterranean food. When my wife suggested we try it, I was not expecting much because it is rare to find a good authentic Greek restaurant. Prino’s is so authentic while others just claim to be. AND the food is amazing! Everything tastes fresh, perfectly crafted and seasoned just right. The lamb and rice I had were perfectly cooked just as it should be. My wife ordered chicken souvlaki- it was tender, juicy and flavorful. My picky son loved the fresh pita so much he had me go back and order more food. The desserts were homemade as well and so delicious! The proprietors were so very friendly and beyond kind with my wife, son and friends. A wonderful surprise! I am so glad we stopped in. I wish they were located by us in upstate NY! We would be there every week.“

“Ate this stuff religiously when I went to school in Pittsburgh and it was one of the biggest things I missed once I moved back to Maryland, only to find out that they had built a location here. Definitely as good as their Pittsburgh location, and a great Halal spot.“

“Wonderful experience. We loved our waiter, Gabe. My husband and I made reservations for our anniversary. He told us congratulations and offered us each a complimentary glass of champagne right off the bat. We soon had warm bread brought to our table and then we ordered cocktails and two appetizers. All delicious. Baked brie was phenomenal. My husband had the filet mignon & I ordered a ribeye. Both were cooked to perfection. After we were nearly stuffed, Gabe offered us a complimentary dessert to share. Overall an amazing experience. Cozy atmosphere. Excellent service and the food came out quickly. Highly recommend this place. We will be back!“

“The Greek salad from Cava was the first one I’ve had that EVER finished. I’m talking the kind of delicious where you finish and you’re already wanting more despite the fact that your stomach is full. 10/10 will DEFINITELY be coming back for more!“

“The best. Very delicious everything chicken, beef and even lamb.“

“Very nice atmosphere. The hostess and server were both friendly and welcoming. Prices were affordable and the food was good. I had the catfish and chips

Quiet and tucked away - perfect place to relax or have a working lunch.“

“This is my new favorite place to eat in Ellicott City! First of all the food is incredible. The garlic sauce we ordered as an appetizer alone would have satisfied me but the food just keep getting better. So fresh and so flavorful!! The owner introduced himself and made us feel so welcome. Their story is incredible! The ambiance was absolutely lovely. They had live musicians who were extremely talented and added a tone that was fun and enjoyable but not at all overwhelming or too loud. The service was impeccable. I cannot recommend enough! We will definitely be going back very soon!“
