What a find. As a fellow greek I can be a tough critic and I have nothing bad to say about this place. First off they have huge portions which is great. The saganaki was lovely and is a nice start to the meal. It is served literally on fire which is traditional. The gyro is also massive and the meat was tender and flavorful. The tzatziki is spot on too. Make sure to grab baklava on the way out. My favorite! I will be back.

Wanted to try this place ever since we moved from the city. People we talk to, write ups I’ve read, we wanted to see if it was that good. It was a very nice, cozy place have high tables and regular, if you make a reservation online if you don’t specify the type of table they give you is high if they can. We had a special appetizer off the menu that was very large and delicious. A larger then normal round slices of lemon/red sauce potatoes with grilled eggplant, onions and...

We live walking distance to this restaurant and I am VERY GLAD we do! Large portions, we always fill a tin to take home, and ESPECIALLY (but not exclusively) when you use their generous coupons and cash, the prices are excellent. MONA is a fab waitress, and because we could see much of the room when we last went, we noted that the interaction between the staff and other diners was lovely. Great place.
