Incredibly kind owner who was very emphatic about the cautiousness they take with allergens. Food was amazing too!

I've only been once so it is very possble there are plenty of dishes that are tasty here. But the steak I had was a really fatty, inedible slice drenched in an unappetizing sauce that basically seemed like the chef tried to get creative with a jar of pepperoncini. The beet salad was also lackluster and drenched in dressing. Would like to go again to try other items to see if it was just a one-off bad experience.

My husband and I were just in the area and randomly found this restaurant. I must say this spot was THE BEST GREEEK spot weve been to in a while. The food was phenomenal, large portion size, not excessively expensive and staff was exceptional- we will most definitely be back!!

I collect pottery and before I walked in I was impressed by the large Greek vase in the window which some establishments might consider a superfluous expense for a restaurant. I was invited along by my family and I didn't realize it was going to be such a fine dining experience. I'm not exactly a connoisseur of Greek cuisine by any means and I probably ordered the most basic Greek food item on the menu (Gyro) but it was the best Greek food I've ever had in my entire life. It was so good it inspired me to write this review which I don't often do. The restaurant was immaculately clean and service was excellent. We also had the opportunity to chat with the owner and you can tell he puts his heart and soul into the business. I definitely want to go back again. Maybe with a date instead of my family.

This is by far my favorite Greek restaurant in Brooklyn (or anywhere for that matter). I have never had a meal here that wasn’t perfect and they’re made better by the owner and staff always willing to have a chat and make you feel welcome.
Over the years I’ve come for Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, restaurant week, or just a regular night out and it always delivers - I recommend a reservation if you’re going on holidays. The specials are well thought-out and executed perfectly so don’t be afraid to try something new while you’re there. You can’t go wrong with anything but their seafood options are a must.
I cannot recommend this restaurant enough and it will have my business as long as we’re lucky to have it open.

My girlfriend and I visited for the first time on Tuesday for an early Valentine’s dinner. The place was beautifully decorated for the occasion. Andrea and Spiro are the owners and were also our servers that night and they were lovely—it was a very welcoming experience. And the food was delicious. I highly recommend ordering the dolmates to start! We look forward to our next visit.
