This was a first Greek restaurant we have ever been to and it was a great one. The restaurant itself was inviting and well-lit. Hostess greeted us in a friendly manner. Our waitress was also friendly with lots of smiles. She explained to us some of the favorite dishes. We ended up ordering the seafood soup (Kakavia) to share, and lobster pasta (Astakomakaronada) and lamb shank (Arni Yuvetsi Kritharaki). All dishes we ordered were fantastic and flavorful. One minor ding on this great meal is that all dishes were just a little over seasoned for us. Other than that, I highly recommended and would definitely go back!

This is a great find if you appreciate good food. What surprised me most was that all the ingredients tasted authentic, nothing artificial or freezer stored. The Kavourokeftedes (crab cakes) tasted like actual real crab, and the Tyrokroketes (cheese croquettes) were just perfectly crisp and with an amazing and light honey drizzle. We also had the braised lamb shank with orzo which was incredibly tender, the squid ink pasta with prawns which was also perfect, and the falafel and meat gyros which were also spot on. Everything tasted, looked, smelled, and felt authentic in this place, including the atmosphere. Definitely did not expect this is Metuchen, NJ, so an awesome find...must visit!

The food was delicious, the service staff was an inexperienced person who was looking after the table. I don't say this to criticize, it seems like he is new to the restaurant business, it would be better if there were experienced staff.
The food was delicious, well done to the staff who prepared it. There was a mature waitress, I don't know her name, she seemed inexperienced and had never worked in this job before. I think you can employ more experienced and better waitresses.
Lovely vegan options!
Cute place for a date. Food was great. We went for lunch because they had more vegetarian options then. Tomato salad is amazing!

Marianna was warm, welcoming and quick! We loved the vegetable spaghetti, the potato salmon dish, and the lemon cake with olive oil (as per Marianna’s recommendation)! Definitely coming back ❤️

Food was great delicious and authentic😋. Great customer service. Seemed a bit overpriced, & the waiting time is long. It was busy for Thursday night. Have to make reservation. Must try the wine 🍷.

Food is good. However, they are not very clear on sides. It would help if they add a caption in their menu stating every lunch dish comes with a side, for respect of dietary restrictions.
P.S. They sell juice trays.

The restaurant doesn’t look bad, food is just okay, I would say a bit overpriced but the waiter that served us was extremely rude, throwing plates on the table, literally who serves food like that. We are trying to order she walks away not even fully listening to the rest of the people that are trying to order. I’m not sure where this person got her training but bringing napkins after 5th it’s being mentioned is extremely unacceptable. Management please make sure this person gets a bit of education how to BE KIND to the customers. She’s a big red flag for your place and I’ll definitely tell everyone to avoid this place. Extremely disappointing experience for a Sunday night dinner. Literally her behavior made us uncomfortable to even try the food, who knows maybe this crazy spit in it. The moral is, if you wanna have okay food you can try this place, but if you actually wanna enjoy the atmosphere and the service I would recommend not going there, because people that work there don’t care about your experience

Very underwhelming and overpriced food. Nothing spectacular at all. Very disappointed. So many other restaurants to visit in the area.

Chairs were a little small for large humans such as myself but great staff and good easily overcame the nitpicking.
