I finally got a chance to try this place out and the food did not disappoint! I had the falafel gyro and it was the best falafel I’ve ever had, very moist and not dry with plenty of flavor. The 3 bean salad was also very fulfilling and everything is reasonably priced. The atmosphere is intimate with little touches of nostalgia. I will definitely be back!

Grabbed a bunch of goodies from here at the farmers market. Hands down THE best coleslaw and stuffed grape leaves I have ever had! The tzatziki and key lime pie are also delicious! Will definitely be picking stuff up from here every time we hit up the farmers market, and plan to check out your restaurant soon! Looking forward to trying the baklava and falafel — just wish spanakopita was an option as it’s my favorite!

A hidden gem here in Binghamton for my Wife and I!

The value to taste ratio really puts a lot of the more formal sit-down options to shame, and has made this our go-to lunch spot.

Must-haves like their “Fire Feta”, pita sandwiches, and their “buttermilk pie” all leave your tastebuds, stomachs, and wallets breathing deep sighs of gratification.

Support your local businesses!
