SO AMAZING, really chill atmosphere not really packed, food amazing- simple yet so delicious- all food is not prossesed- French fries = real potatoes 😋, also prices are great too !
October 2025
Got the lamb gyro + moussaka for 2 people to share & it was the perfect amount of food. Stuck to basic dishes since it was our first time here and glad we did - this was one of our favorite moussaka’s outside of Greece, makes me happy I don’t have to travel all the way to Astoria to have authentic tasty moussaka. Service was friendly and outdoor seating was perfect on a summer evening.

This place understands what customers want. Their dishes arrive at the right moment. This place delivers on atmosphere, on food and on everything else. Staff members handle special dietary needs carefully. The area is better with this addition.
