Customers have praised the fresh, flavorful, and authentically Greek cuisine, particularly the grape leaf salads. The ambiance is welcoming, and the staff provides great service. The gyro sandwich and steak fries are also notable, with the meat cooked perfectly and the fries seasoned well. Visitors have enjoyed the beef orzo, ribeye, and walnut cake with ice cream, as well as the selection of wines sold by the bottle. Recent visitors also appreciated the inviting and well-lit environment, friendly hostess, and smiling staff who explained some of the favorite dishes. They found the seafood soup (Kakavia), lobster pasta (Astakomakaronada), and lamb shank (Arni Yuvetsi Kritharaki) all fantastic and flavorful, though some felt the dishes were just a little over seasoned. The ingredients were praised for tasting authentic, with crab cakes tasting like real crab and cheese croquettes perfectly crisp with a light honey drizzle. The braised lamb shank with orzo, squid ink pasta with prawns, falafel, and meat gyros were also highly enjoyed, tasting, looking, smelling, and feeling authentic. The atmosphere contributed to the overall authentic experience, making it an unexpected and excellent find in Metuchen, NJ.
