My husband and I have been here so many times that the staff immediately recognize us when we walk in. We were entertaining guests for a few days and we wanted someplace wonderful to take them! The fare here is absolutely scrumptious and our guests were impressed! We're coming back for Thanksgiving and we just hope that they never tire of looking at us! Ha ha! On one occasion, they out of calamari and I thought I would literally cry. I don't exaggerate when I say it is the BEST calamari I've ever had in my life. Try it...you won't be disappointed!

The server Michael was exceptional, and I really enjoyed the soft live music on Saturday night.
The food was authentic and full of flavor.
Save room for the Limoncello cake. It is a must!

Although it's in a strip mall, this place still has a lot of charm and excellent service. The owner is very involved and so nice to his guests. There was also a vocalist there who added nicely to the ambience. The food is tasty, but I was so disappointed they were out of the dolmas that I wanted. Be prepared that the food may be a little pricier than you would anticipate.

Really enjoyed the dining experience. Our waiter, Michael, was affable and made great recommendations. We enjoyed the Calamari and Saganaki appetizers, lamb kabobs and the Scottish stuffed Salmon (a special) and the Limoncello cake.

Okay so, full disclosure, I just started working here, but yesterday I had the lamb kofta gyro and OH EM GEE! It was SO delicious! Long story, but I actually know Greek food very well and I have to say that this was the best I have ever had of this dish. The lamb had a subtle flavor, not overpowering like some lamb can be and the herbs, fresh mint were subtle but complimented the fresh lamb perfectly. The tzadziki sauce also was on point with fresh dill, not watery, and not too garlicky, all of the vegetables in the gyro, lettuce, tomato, onions were crisp and fresh and same in the Greek salad! The pita also was nice and firm but fluffy with the perfect slightly toasted flavor. But the olives! Man oh man, something special about them.

Everything I have sampled has been super delicious, but if you crave real Greek Food (not that Greek Fiesta slop), I highly recommend this place for take out or dine in, but if you can dine in you won't regret it because the ambience is aesthetically so beautiful and the service is top notch!

The inside of the restaurant is painted a nice cheerful blue with pretty framed art of pictures of Greece and cute paintings of café scenes, greenery at the entrance, a water fountain, and pretty lighting everywhere and roses. Definitely a good place for a romantic date, birthdays or a proposal. 😉😉

By the way, I was not paid to make this review! Just being honest! Being a Greek Food enthusiast, I recommend going at dinner and getting the full Greek dining experience. Start out with some Ouzo and the Greek Antipasto with a side of Greek Salad and a side of Olives, get some entrées, and finish up with some baklava and Greek coffee! You won't regret it. Opa!

Also! It's in Garner which might seem out of the way but it's literally only a 5 minute drive south of downtown Raleigh which means no downtown parking hassle!

My wife and I have eaten here twice and really loved it. I’m a bit confused by people leaving reviews complaining about price. This isn’t your mid grade quality of food - it’s absolutely delicious and made with delicate flavors and plating. Another thing that really stands out are the staff and atmosphere. It’s quaint and homey ambience and really warm and professional staff really set the mood if you want a nice night out.

My husband and I started coming here based on a recommendation from our neighbors, and we couldn't be happier. We're both big foodies, and the quality of the food here is top-notch—everything is made from scratch, and it truly shows in every bite. I wish I had remembered to take pictures of the food, but honestly, it was so good that I was too busy enjoying it to be on my phone. Every staff member is incredibly friendly and welcoming. We've had Michael as our server a few times, and he always goes above and beyond. Thank you for the amazing food and wonderful experience—you've definitely gained new regulars!
